You and me under the world tree

"That sounds like wizards are scary."

"Yeah, wizards are scary..."

Siegfried stared at Krimhild.

He seemed to be observing something, and that engrossing gaze made her feel a little shy for a moment.

But in the end, the young His Majesty the King still turned his gaze away.

"In short, magic is amazing, and this is far from what people like you and I can understand, but to get back to the point, I don't know much about magic, even if I want to heal your wounds, I can only do this. It’s just to a certain extent, you’d better ask Hagen to have a look.”

At first, Krimhild was still slowly thinking about and digesting what Siegfried said.

But when His Majesty the King mentioned a certain person's name again, Krimhild frowned.

In the end, she slowly shook her head.

"No, Your Majesty, I don't think Hagen would like to see me either."

"Not at all, you are at least brothers and sisters, I think you..."

"No, I really don't need it. My wounds will be healed with some herbal medicine. With a little medicine, it will completely disappear after a while."

She said.

Finally, Krimhild stood up on his own initiative.

"Besides, it's getting late. Most people have already rested now, so I should leave too."

She reluctantly gave a salute to Zigger, and then walked away slowly.

But when she reached the door, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Because she realized one thing, she doesn't seem to have a carriage now.

"I will arrange the carriage. Please rest well, Your Highness the Princess."

"Ah."

"Ugh……"

I don't know if it was Krimhild's illusion, but she always felt that she heard a lingering sigh.

"His Majesty?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired, and there are many things in the palace."

Chapter 48: Mysteries

In the end, Krimhild left.

In fact, this is the formal process, because no matter what, it is not a good thing for a princess of another country to stay in the palace of a young king.

On the one hand, it is the difference in status, and on the other hand, it is because the relationship between the two kingdoms is not that good yet.

And more importantly, the royal family has always stayed away from so-called scandals.

It would be fine if the age gap between the two parties was too large, but it happened to be a young man and a woman at this time, so it became quite necessary to avoid suspicion.

However, Krimhild could not leave early.

Because now that rumors are spreading and even flying around, she and her carriage are simply not suitable to appear in public.

If it is seen by someone else, it will confirm certain things that have not yet been officially acknowledged.

In short, no matter from which angle you look at it, Her Royal Highness Princess Krimhild, who is clearly at the center of the vortex, should keep a low profile.

So in the case of taking a step back, she can't appear in front of the residents during the hundred days when the whole city is active, and if she wants to leave, she can only take advantage of the night.

The City of Wrath of Sky has a curfew system, but most of this curfew system is aimed at commercial areas with a lot of traffic outside.

As for the inner living area, the restrictions are actually not that great.

Although it is inevitable that you will be questioned by the patrolling soldiers if you wander around in the middle of the night, but as long as you have a legitimate reason, there is no problem.

And there are always a few restless people in the alleys who like to open small stalls to sell some barbecue or ordinary drinks, and the residents in twos and threes who have worked hard all day gather together to drink and exchange a little daily life with each other.

The external taverns and hotels are mainly for the adventurers and caravans who come and go, while the small vendors and some small shops inside rely on these repeat customers to make a little money.

Thinking about it carefully, there seem to be quite a few of these people.

However, this situation is much better than during the day, at least these characters who tell the ups and downs of life at night will not run to the main road for nothing.

Even if you see a carriage passing by, you don't ask, or care about anything.

"Anyway, it's over now." Siegfried said.

At this moment, he is standing on the stairs with his staff.

And at the bottom of the stairs, the prepared carriage carried Her Royal Highness away.

But as a matter of fact, it was still her coachman who drove, and she herself did not seem to want an escort.

"It seems that His Highness Krimhild has a deep prejudice against me. After realizing that the command of the Skywrath Guards is in my hands, she doesn't even want the guards."

Hagen's strange voice came from Siegfried's ear.

Hearing this, the young His Majesty the King couldn't help shaking his head.

He didn't respond directly.

Hagen also knew why His Majesty the King he was loyal to was silent, so he immediately stopped his eccentric behavior and turned his attention to other aspects.

"You have already reminded me of what you should remind. Whether she can understand it is her own business."

"I know."

Maybe, no one will believe it.

Most of what Siegfried said before was to remind the woman named Krimhild, and even implicitly hinted that the "favorites" in her mind were not real.

Krimhild believed in the so-called love at first sight, and believed in "predestination", but Siegfried did not believe in these.

Even, not only did he not believe it himself, but he also wanted to hint that woman vaguely.

If Krimhild reacts, that's another story.

"It's getting late, Your Majesty, you'd better rest early, tomorrow you have to deal with those people in the court, about the repair of the temple..."

"I know, let's discuss this kind of thing tomorrow."

As soon as the issue of temple repairs was mentioned, Siegfried couldn't help covering his forehead.

Although the afternoon dinner was indeed very happy, he was still the king after all.

"Let's talk about it later."

Siegfried turned and left.

However, before he could take a few steps, he stopped.

"Hagen, what do you think about these things?"

"Ok?"

"Am I being hypocritical?"

The Lord of Armies just stood there. Under Mani's cold light, his tall back looked extremely cold.

However, facing the majestic but young back, Hagen directly shook his head.

"No, Your Majesty, you have vaguely reminded me of many things, but... you are still patient with such a woman."

Just as Krimhild was prejudiced against Hagen, Hagen also showed that mocking attitude towards his so-called sister.

"She is such a willful woman who is self-centered and never cares about other people's views and opinions, let alone the consequences of her actions."

"So, that carriage..."

"The problem with the carriage is still being investigated, Your Majesty, but I can be sure that the mental state of the two horses did have a problem. They seemed to be in a state of fright at the time."

"Scared?"

"Of course, it's also possible that it's some kind of berserk technique...Maybe His Highness Krimhild was indeed plotted against, and this time, if His Excellency the Sage doesn't take action, it may lead to a tragedy."

The sage Hodder pierced the two galloping tall horses with his spear, which at best overturned the carriage.

However, once the carriage directly stepped on the two children who had no masters, or even ran them over to death, the royal family would face an inevitable crisis of trust.

And this crisis will raise all kinds of problems.

"So, who is behind it?"

"do not know."

Facing Siegfried's question, Hagen replied calmly.

"If the accident was 'directed' by man, it can only be said that his scheme was deep, because Krimhild would think I did it, and we would think it was Krimhild Personal actions, as for the reasons, there are many things I want to find."

This kind of endless thing, the worst part is here.

Because it is only a result, and there are too many reasons for this result.

"To be honest, Your Majesty, just as Krimhild suspects me, I doubt Krimhild, because it doesn't take any magical means to startle and excite the horses, just feed them. "

So what is it called?

Krimhild doubted Hagen because of the conflicts within the Burgundian royal family.

She felt that Hagen didn't want her to be queen, so she wanted to get rid of him quickly.

As for Hagen, he also has doubts.

He felt that this was Krimhild's voluntary behavior, and the purpose was for this accident.

"Think about it carefully, if there is an accident and she is injured a little bit, your majesty will definitely visit her with your character, and when the time comes, you will leave the protection of this palace..."

Having said that, Hagen couldn't help closing his eyes.

"Although you are a powerful warrior, I'm afraid you can't resist the power of magic."

"Okay, let's investigate this matter slowly, as long as it doesn't cause any major accidents, just keep an eye on it."

Feeling that the water inside the palace was getting deeper and deeper, Siegfried finally just sighed.

Then, he resumed his steps.

"You should go to bed earlier, everyone is very tired today."

At this moment, maybe he was really tired, so His Majesty the King didn't notice that his trusted palace minister was just watching him with complicated eyes.

"His Majesty!"

Finally, he called out suddenly.

"Ok?"

"You are never hypocritical, you are the kindest monarch I have ever seen."

"I hope it's as you said..."

Chapter 49: Communication

The moon god Mani is driving his moon chariot at a high altitude, and the cold light shines on the entire land of the atrium world.

Facing the cold and beautiful moonlight, the simple carriage prepared by Siegfried was slowly moving forward on the street.

But this time, the driver never dared to detour again.

This afternoon, when Her Royal Highness was silent, he started to walk around this quiet and beautiful residential area according to her previous instructions and habits, and that happened.

No matter whether Her Highness the Princess will blame him or not, after all, he dare not act like that again by relying on his so-called habit.

No one knows what the mood of the driver who exposed himself to the breeze and moonlight was.

Even, he didn't even know this.

On a quiet street, relying on his excellent memory and knowledge of the residential area, he quickly found the closest road to the mansion where Her Royal Highness the Princess lived.

In fact, this road is not long, just a few corners.

But along the way, the driver can only tremble.

The injuries on his body have already been almost healed by the healing spell of the palace minister Hagen, and some of the extremely serious injuries are now scarred.
