You and me under the world tree

These are not snatched from the hands of the people. Siegfried himself doesn't bother to do such things. These are basically vacated during the regime change of the kingdom.

The court alternates, some people can stay, but some people are destined to leave.

Because of this, after the renovation of the entire city, many gorgeous and spacious houses with gardens were accidentally vacated.

This is the mansion awarded to Hagen, and the mansion of Krimhild and other envoys under house arrest.

Naturally, the same is true of the mansion where Jibishi and his guards live now.

If it was in the past, with Jibixi's aesthetics, he would probably choose to take a tour of this magnificent but unfamiliar city to him under the guidance of a special person.

Even, thinking from the king's point of view, he must find out the specific composition of the city, and also send someone to the tavern to find out the latest news circulating in the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

These are all normal operations, and they are normal in any kingdom.

But now, Jibixi has no thoughts in this regard.

He can't have it, can't have it.

Along the way, he could see the disgust that the people showed towards Burgundy.

Although with their identities and status, they would never dare to go beyond the guards and attack them, but Burgundy's reputation is obviously already rotten.

After all, in the hearts of the people, the matter of Krimhild's poisoning of King Siegfried has never been followed. This is obviously to confirm certain things.

Therefore, people in Burgundy cannot run around.

Because of the protection of the guards and the guidance of the Skywrath Guards, the people did not dare to create any disturbances.

But now, after completing the duties of leading the way, these guards have returned to their barracks in the city to report for duty, and he only has the guards around him.

Nothing more...

"call……"

In his own room, Jibixi took a deep breath.

He casually glanced at the furnishings and decorations in the room, and then walked out the door.

In the end, he gave up thinking about these nonsense things over there, because he suddenly realized that the things he was thinking about were actually not important.

Because now, no matter what, he can't do unnecessary things.

Because his daughter was still under house arrest in another place, it was even more impossible for him to break into another mansion all the way.

And now, there is only one place he can go, and he must go.

"You guys, come with me."

After hesitating for a moment, he still planned to bring his guards.

Not long after Burgundy's second mission arrived in Skywrath King City, a carriage slowly moved towards the palace.

"Huh, this ladder is still a bit long."

"We can..."

"I don't need your help."

Just as the loyal guards around were about to do something, Jibixi shook his head.

"I'm not too old to walk up stairs."

Then, he showed a subtle look.

"To be honest, this ladder is much better than what that idiot Legney created back then."

Is there a difference between high and low, strong and weak among the ladders?

Just when his old majesty said so, the guards couldn't help but looked at each other.

The old king had no intention of answering, and they didn't dare to ask any more questions, so they could only follow Jibishi up the stairs step by step.

"Your Majesty Jibishi."

Before Jibixi could say anything, the Skywrath guards stationed at the gate of the palace bent down and saluted.

"Master Hagen has been waiting for a long time."

After hearing what the angry guard said that day, Jibixi couldn't help being stunned.

But it's right to think about it carefully, they came to the Skywrath King City openly and aboveboard, and the ones leading the way were also the Skywrath Guards, Hagen didn't know that there was a problem.

"Please lead the way."

And just as the Burgundian guards were about to follow in, Jibixi waved his hand.

"You guys stay outside first."

There was no conflict along the way, and everything seemed extremely calm.

Jibixi followed the guards all the way through the hall.

"Master Hagen, the person has already arrived."

In that hall, before the high throne and stairs, there was a figure standing there.

He was a little short, but he didn't dare to underestimate him.

Even, I don't know if it is an illusion caused by light and shadow, the short figure even has an aura of coming from the front.

Those in power, those in power...

"You go down."

Just when Jibixi's thoughts began to diverge, Hagen spoke.

"Yes."

After saluting Hagen, the guards in armor walked away slowly.

'boom'

He even closed the door behind him.

At this moment, only the father and son Hagen and Jibishi were left in the entire hall, and only the throne belonging to the Volsung family witnessed the reunion of the father and son.

They are father and son, this is the kinship brought by blood.

But they are also enemies, because now the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Burgundy have reached a point of incompatibility.

For Jibishi, the title of king is a title he can never let go of in his life, even though he has already abdicated and handed over the throne to his son Gunter.

As for Hagen, he has always regarded himself as the palace minister, and is even proud of it.

This position and identity, coupled with blood relationship, constituted an extremely complicated atmosphere.

Hagen didn't turn around, and Jibixi could only stare at the short figure. From that small figure, he seemed to see a lot.

I can even see the little girl I saw before.

"you……"

At this moment, His Majesty the King, who was originally eloquent, seemed a little stumbling, and it was difficult for him to speak a complete sentence for a while.

"are you OK?"

It has nothing to do with the kingdom's position or identity, Jibixi just asked such a dry question.

Then, he saw that the man's body seemed to be leaning forward slightly, as if shaking and trembling.

But soon, the trembling disappeared.

"Me? As you can see, I'm doing pretty well," he said.

However, that high-pitched tone sounded a kind of yin and yang.

In the end, when Hagen turned around, what Jibixi saw was the slightly exaggerated mocking smile.

"Maybe, you didn't expect such a day, did you? You didn't even think that I would be in a high position in the Netherlands now."

"No, I thought of it, and I know it."

Facing Hagen's mocking expression, Jibixi shook his head instead.

"You are a smart child, you learn everything quickly, and even mastered magic. It is not surprising that you can sit in this position."

"Humph……"

Hagen couldn't help but bow his head in response to Jibishi's words.

He was already short, but when he bowed his head like this, he looked even more 'petite'.

And watching him like this, Ji Bixi suddenly had a certain idea in his heart.

"Can I go and see her?"

"Your daughter? I'm sorry, Krimhild is suspected of murdering our king, and now the entire mansion is forbidden for anyone to enter or leave."

"I'm not talking about Krimhild..."

"Ok?"

Then, Hagen's complexion suddenly changed.

"Hum hum……"

He suddenly laughed.

"Now suddenly remember to play the favor card?"

In the end, his face was cold:

"You don't even see if you are worthy!"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall became icy cold.

Chapter 81: Cowards

Everyone in the palace knew that Palace Minister Hagen was a man with a gentle smile.

In the eyes of most people, he seems to be able to do everything with ease.

He can handle his work and other matters properly every time, and he can also prove his status and majesty with practical actions.

It is not the military power in their hands, nor is it the favor of His Majesty the King. What they fear is Hagen from Tronpage. The so-called status is just icing on the cake for him.

Gradually, Hagen gained a private nickname in the court: Smiling Tiger.

He never quarreled with others directly, and was always kind every time, but no one dared to offend him.

Generally speaking, those who offend Hagen directly and whose hands and feet are not very clean generally end badly.

Ruin and ruin are common things.

It's not that he has no bottom line, but he rarely has any conflicts with others.

As time passed, almost everyone forgot that Hagen also had a reverse scale, a reverse scale that made him have to vent his anger head-on.

His origin, his family...

"I know you hate me, but I just want to see her."

"You remember now? Then what were you doing before? How many years have passed, and you have never met her, and you are not even willing to give her a title."

"..."

Hagen's words hit like a violent storm, which made Jibishi close his eyes involuntarily.

It was true that he was touched, because his heart was not real steel after all, there was always a soft spot.

But to say he's going to cry about it, or regret it, is an exaggerated joke.

"I'm not going to do it, and I can't do it."

"Because the wife you are marrying is the daughter of the most powerful lord in the Kingdom of Burgundy? Or is my mother a dwarf? She is not worthy to be your queen? Even if it's just posthumous..."

"You know that, don't you?"

"That's right, the royal family is ruthless, but my mother has always felt that you have unspeakable difficulties."

At this moment, Hagen clenched his fists and bit his lips.

The teeth even bit the lip.

"She gave you everything."
