I can imagine.
It’s a disgusting story.
Aren’t I listening to these kinds of stories only?
It’s like a radio show that’s looking for heartbreaking stories.
I looked at Mil and Kiara, both of whom were giving Kriemhild a sympathetic look.
No, not sympathy, maybe they think they’re in the same boat.
Kriemhild took a breath and opened her mouth.
“Naturally, there was an uproar in the tribe. And they blamed Kriemhild. “So you drove her out because you wanted the Apostle’s favor”, they said, and banished Kriemhild’s tribe.”
That’s messed up.
But I honestly didn’t know what to say at a time like this.
As it was, Kriemhild quietly continued her story.
“Even from the clan’s point of view, anger was directed at Kriemhild. Even though they knew it was out of spite, they had no choice.”
AD
The story isn’t finished yet.
I urge her to continue.
I’m sure Kriemhild would like to finish too.
Kriemhild nodded in silence.
“It must have been hard for the family to keep taking it out on her. Gradually, their anger subsided. Then the tribe drifted here.”
Are they separate from the demon tribe in the back? I thought they were a branch tribe…
That thought seemed to have been realized.
Kriemhild chuckled.
“The demon tribe in the back are those who lost the war within the original tribe and drifted in later. It seems that they didn’t want to live with the traitorous clan, so they migrated further back.”
I wonder how long they’re going to drag this out…
Was it just a pretext, and they didn’t want to their authority?
Or was it fear of retaliation?
AD
I don’t think it’s much of a stretch if you’ve moved to an uncharted land.
I’ll cut to the chase, but I’d like to confirm this first.
“How long after you arrived did the later demons arrive?”
Kriemhild chuckled in exasperation.
“I heard it was a hundred years later. It seems that as time went on, their resentment increased rather than decreased.”
If you spew hatred as a substitute for teaching material to children, they will grow up and believe it to be true.
And if there’s something to complain about, they’ll use that as a reason and increase even more.
It’s a negative perpetual motion machine.
Kriemhild, who had been watching my expression with interest, opened her mouth.
“Back to the topic at hand. The tribe’s grudge may only be on the surface, but …… they retracted their grudge against Kriemhild. But they have not forgotten their grudge against Kriemhilde.”
It’s starting to get a little weird…
The “on the surface” thing is bothering me too.
""
Kriemhild looked at me thoughtfully and smiled.
I think it’s a little different.
“I don’t even know what happened to Krimmhilde. It seems that they wanted to tell them of their fate, if they lived and had any descendants.”
I’m starting to see the story, but it’s vindictive… that’s all I can say.
But if you have nothing else to live for, do you cling to the grudges of the past?
“So, if any of Kriemhild’s descendants have a daughter, we will name her Kriemhild. If not, they will name the girl closest in blood to her Kriemhild.”
I knew it…
But Kriemhild laughed.
“Having said that, the story of Kriemhilde… is now only told to those who carry the Kriemhild name. They used to tell it to other people, but then no one seemed to talk about it anymore.”
Did the others choose to look forward?
Or were they too busy trying to survive?
“The funny thing is, as the years went by and I inherited a certain name, this name became like the representative of my family.”
AD
I was at a bit of a loss for comment.
Maybe there was a deeper meaning behind Kriemhild’s insistence on the law.
Kriemhild looked at me with serious eyes.
“I don’t have any grudges against Kriemhilde or her descendants after all this time. It’s the same with the tribe. In fact, I don’t think the demon tribe in the back will be friendly to us because of our presence.”
I opened my mouth in a firm manner.
“It’s not worth considering at all. If we were afraid of that, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. I won’t even fight Dorius.”
Kriemhild nodded and leaned forward slightly.
“If you don’t mind, I’d like to meet the descendant of Kriemhilde. I just want to meet them and talk about things.”
Maybe they don’t want to vent their resentment, but they want to talk to each other trapped in an unrelated past.
“I’ll check with the other party on that.”
I gave Kiara an eye signal.
“Then I’ll go and ask them.”
AD
Kiara left the room.
That’s enough of that.
It’s not something I’m going to get involved in any further.
There is something more important to be confirmed as the original business.
“How many of you are there? I’d like to know if you’ll need an escort and how long it will take.”
“About three hundred. I would appreciate an escort if possible. If it is a group, it will take about two weeks to arrive. It would be faster if it was just me and my escort.”
“I understand, I’ll make arrangements. So, since we have to prepare for the escort, can we leave in about three days?”
Kriemhild bowed her head.
“Yes, thank you very much.”
“We will arrange a place for you and your escort to stay.”
I gave Mil an eye signal.
“Yes, I’ll do it.”
AD
After Mil had left, I asked her because there was one thing I had forgotten to ask her.
“Oh, that’s right. Isn’t it the cat tribe who spread the bad rumors about us to you?”
Kriemhild made a surprised face.
“I’m surprised you know that. Is there any truth to the rumors about the all-seeing 1700-year-old Great Demon King in the form of a 17 year old?”
Wait a minute! The nickname’s becoming strange!
And it’s so damn long!
I can imagine.
It’s a disgusting story.
