You and me under the world tree

"He doesn't want to tell you this, and he probably doesn't want your mood to get worse."

"It doesn't matter, this kind of thing."

Finally, Siegfried rubbed his temples.

"To be honest, I don't know what to do now."

This kind of thing is really a headache for Siegfried.

What he is most afraid of is that the matter is public opinion initiated by the people.

Although he himself did not express his position as the person involved, and this matter could be overturned by him anytime and anywhere, but what he was most afraid of was that something else would happen because of this broken rumor.

For example, it is said that if the princess shows her love and is rejected, it will be over.

"When public opinion and rumors start to ferment, this is no longer a personal emotional issue."

If you want to talk about pure admiration and love, this kind of thing with a sense of distance, it's fine to be rejected.

For the person concerned, if rejected at the moment of emotional germination, then this is nothing but pure loss.

A little emotional adjustment will pass.

But in terms of performance, the emotion shown by Krimhild is obviously not at the level of "hazy".

She is passionate and bold in her demeanor, which is entirely purposeful.

She is showing her favor to Siegfried, and wants to use her charm to capture him.

In this case, the so-called emotion is no longer a matter between two people, it involves more characters invisibly.

For example, identity and status, and those around you.

When these are overlapped together, plus public opinion and rumors among the people, the pressure is enough to make people feel the kind of anger and resentment that they shouldn't have.

"So, after you noticed this, did you directly reject her enthusiasm and kindness?"

"No."

Facing Hodder's gaze, Siegfried replied directly.

But at this moment, he reckoned that he was also afraid that his uncle would use those shitty things to punish him again, so he added a few more sentences.

"There is no way to directly refuse this kind of thing, and I don't know what to do."

Under Siegfried's gaze, Hodder lowered his head instead.

As he thought about it, the messages in his mind were connected together.

"That's okay. Although Krimhild's combination of punches is not bad, we still have room for manipulation."

Howard said.

Then, a plan slowly took shape in his mind.

"Even, if it's done properly, it might become some kind of opportunity."

"what chance?"

"It's nothing, I just want to give some people a blow."

"Who?"

"The people behind Krimhild."

At this moment, Siegfried suddenly took two steps back.

For some reason, he always felt a chill running through his body.

"The person behind her?"

The most mentioned word in this chapter is 'feeling'.

Here I mainly want to express the interest entanglement behind it. Some emotional disputes are not really love and hate in the end, but pure dignity and the pressure of external public opinion.

To give an example that may not be very appropriate, it is the same for Master Liao in Ip Man's closed-door discussion. He can admit in private that he is not as good as Master Ye, but he must not say this.

Once it is said, the person concerned is easy to get on top.

Although it sounds stupid, it must be difficult for the person involved to get out. On the one hand, it is fame, and on the other hand, it is livelihood.

And Krimhild is the kind of person who is easy to go to extremes in thinking. She has been used to being surrounded by stars since she was a child.

Once there is a naysayer, or even outright rejection, it is tantamount to stepping on her face.

Chapter 30: Be tough

"Yeah, the people behind her."

After hearing Siegfried's almost self-talking question, Hodder couldn't help laughing.

"You don't think her actions are entirely her own?"

"of course not."

Faced with Hodder's ridicule, Siegfried quickly shook his head.

He wasn't that stupid yet, the woman Krimhild had already been marked as a Valkyrie in his heart.

Although her every move looks like a girl who fanatically expresses her admiration, God knows if there are any women who like to fly around to hinder her.

Following this line of thought, Siegfried quickly thought of the woman with wings who had appeared in front of him.

That was also a Valkyrie, and it was she who had persuaded herself to meet Krimhild.

ah no...

After thinking of those things a few years ago, Siegfried rubbed his temples involuntarily.

Maybe it's because he has been concentrating on matters related to the Netherlands recently. Whether it is important government affairs or the overall external situation, he needs to consider, so his mind is a little messed up.

For a while, he didn't even think of such a 'little thing' that happened a few years ago.

To be precise, the Valkyrie gave him two kinds of reminders.

One is the so-called Trial of the Gods on the peak of Schindal, and the other is the beautiful Krimhild.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a very common choice.

If he had chosen Krimhild at that time, then he would have a high probability of getting together with that woman under the arrangement of the Valkyrie.

If he was interested in the unquenchable wildfire at the peak of Xendal and the trials of the gods behind it, then...

"Oh yes, uncle."

Suddenly, Siegfried spoke up.

"Ok?"

"Speaking of which, is there anything on the Xendal Peak?"

"There is a poignant and tragic story."

"Ok?"

"The story can be told later, and your business is more important now."

At this moment, Hodder waved his hand.

"In short, you should have temporarily expressed your intention to decline before, right?"

"Um……"

"Although based on your experience, I don't think your so-called hints can be fully understood."

Uncle, you are going too far...

After hearing Huo De's words, Siegfried couldn't help subconsciously feeling a bit of dissatisfaction in his heart, because this was completely despising him.

But after this subtle grievance, a touch of helplessness appeared in the heart of the young His Majesty the King.

Because he found that he had no way to refute what his uncle said.

Because this is all so-called 'experience talk', and what kind of bullshit experience can he have?

The first woman who made him feel like family was Princess Hilda of Iceland, and the two of them are now very stable in terms of relationship and relationship.

Coupled with the existence of magic, they don't even need to use any letters to maintain their relationship. They can run back and forth with the rainbow rune stone, and Hilda, who has never been bored and lonely, will often come to him.

In this regard, it is normal to say that he has little experience, at least he does not have countless daughters like his father and brother.

"If I had experience, I wouldn't have to worry about it now."

Finally, he shook his head.

"I can probably guess the level of your so-called 'rejection'. It probably means expressing your displeasure in various details, such as antagonizing her in details, or evading her next There are still arrangements, so leave early, right?"

"Correct."

"This kind of thing is actually useless, especially for a woman like Krimhild, until her enthusiasm is completely gone, she will not feel that it is a 'rejection' at all, and even if she realizes it, she will won't admit it."

"So, I can only deal with her as usual?"

"No, should I change my attitude a little this time?"

"How to change?"

"Showdown with her directly, but don't say it very clearly, just reject her and it's over. You can be a little tougher, express a hint of impatience, and even reveal that you have a sweetheart, but you don't need to say it."

"No, uncle, you said that she..."

At this moment, Siegfried suddenly felt that he couldn't turn his head around.

Why does he find this kind of thing difficult?

After all, it was because he had a general understanding of Krimhild's character.

He didn't think this woman would pose any threat to him, but that kind of character was very troublesome to him.

In cases where it is easy to go to extremes, the two kingdoms of the Netherlands and Burgundy will even be involved.

If you are not careful, it will cause disputes at the diplomatic level.

In fact, this aspect of things has always been his weakness.

Even with Hagen assisting him, he has no confidence in gaining the upper hand in public opinion.

but now……

"It was before, and now I have a new idea. Anyway, I'm going to stay in Skywrath City for a while, and see what they will do."

Huo De reached out and patted his nephew on the shoulder.

"It's okay, I'll take care of the consequences."

…………

On the other side, in a room in the palace, Krimhild in a white dress was just sitting on a chair.

At the same time, her eyes couldn't help turning around the maid who was busy at the side.

These people were all arranged by Hagen. After all, as the palace minister, he couldn't just help people run errands.

And these maids are also very obedient, they seem to be well-trained, without any nonsense.

After serving tea, pastries and cakes, they bowed with gratitude.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty will arrive later, please wait patiently."

These maids were perfect in terms of performance, and at one time Krimhild even wondered if these girls were specially sent in by the so-called nobles and courtiers in the court of the Netherlands to get close to the king.

For this reason, Krimhild disliked seeing these women.

But then, thinking about it, it wasn't quite right.

Because Siegfried's court is different from other kings, he revived his kingdom through war, and most of the people in the court were basically expanded from the team he built from the Amstel harbor.

Although he is not the kind of narrow-minded person, except for some high-ranking and powerful people, there are still some people from the Hengding period in his court.
