Some time after that, the old king Chiouki died, and the eldest son, Guennar, came on the throne. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe young king has not yet taken a wife, so his mother, Grihilde, is on the lookout.
And this queen knew the person of Brünnhilde, and she thought that there was no one else suitable to be her son queen except Brünnhilde,
According to the rumor that the queen had received that Brunhilde was a princess of a certain country, and that she lived in a castle surrounded by flames, she said that she would not marry her hero until she could enter the flame walls. - So Guennar was ready to go to the girl in the flames.
He asked for Higgled to be his companion and brought his mother's magic potion in case he needed it. But when he reached the outside of the flaming wall at the top of the mountain, although he dared to come forward, his horse did not. No matter how much they tried, Guennar's horse retreated, refusing to advance.
But Grani, the god of Sigurd's ride, was not afraid, and Guennar invited him to the horse with Sigurd. But Sigurd's horse was also mischievous, and though he let Guennar ride it, he refused to move a single step: it was not to be carried by anyone but its master.
Now that Sigeld was wearing his "Helm of Terror", and Guennar had a magic potion, Sigeld thought that if he wanted to change shapes with Guennar, it would not be difficult to do so; Guennar also felt that there was no other way to do it, so he agreed to Sigeld's suggestion and let Sigurd take on his own appearance and go into the ring of fire to propose. So Sigeld went into the ring of fire, and went to the hall of the castle, and met Brunhilde.
The two lovers, who were originally lovers, no longer knew each other: Sigurd had forgotten his relationship since he drank the magic potion, and Brunhilde, because Sigurd had become someone else's appearance, thought he was a different person.
Brunhilde was surprised to see another person enter, and she thought that no one else would be able to enter besides Sigurd. But she greeted him calmly, and when she heard that he had come to propose, she allowed him to stay here, saying that she would consider it.
For she had made a renew oath before the arrival of Sigurd, and she could not refuse anyone who could enter the ring of fire. But he had agreed to Schigeld's marriage proposal, so Brunhilde had to choose between his two vows.
After the trip, Sigeld stayed here in Brünnhilde for three days. Unexpectedly, the magic potion brought from the queen this time could actually make Brunhilde successfully walk out of the ring of fire. Finally able to get out of here, Brunhild agreed to the alien Shygeld's marriage proposal in place of Guennar in a moment of excitement.
When the fourth morning came, Sieged removed the gold ring from Brünnhilde's finger and replaced it with another one, and Brünnhilde promised to come to Nibelungue in ten days to be his wife.
When Sigurd left the castle and reported to Gounnard that the matter had been successful, the two men switched to their original forms and hurried back to the Nibelunge. Seageld only told his wife, Goodrune, the secret of the proposal, and placed the gold-absorbing ring on her finger. Little did he know that the catastrophe would begin from there.
Ten days later, Brünnhilde came. She gently blessed Guennar and asked him to lead her into the hall; Siggard and Goodrune were sitting there.
When Brünnhilde entered, Sigeld raised his eyes and took in Brunhilde's glittering glance. Instantly, the long-standing magic vanished, and Sigurd suddenly remembered the past as if awakened from a dream. However, it was already too late.
Brunhilde had become Guennar's wife, and he himself had become Gudrune's husband. Fate played a joke on them right here.
The days went by. Brunhilde was still uplifted on the surface, but inside he was angry; She often sneaked out of her husband's palace and went into the forest to vent her grievances.
And Guennar also felt that his wife was always cold to him, so he began to be suspicious. His wife is so cold to herself?
Doesn't it be said that when a woman starts to get bored with her husband, that's when she cheats?
Guennar suspected that Sieged might have honestly told Brünnhilde the secret of his change of form at the time of the proposal, or that Sigurd had taken advantage of the opportunity to spend three days with Brünnhilde to win Brünnhilde's love first.
One day, Goodrune and Brunhilde went to bathe in the Rhine. Goodrune wanted to enter the water first, but Brunhilde refused, saying that it was her prerogative. Therefore, the two scolded each other. Goodrune scolds her sister-in-law for being improper, having a former lover and later marrying Gounnar, and cites the gold-sucking ring on her own finger as evidence.
Hearing these words, Brunhilde's heart was broken, and she saw that the ring was already on the finger of her rival, and she ran back to her palace without saying a word, and lay down in a dull manner, silent, and without eating. Guennar and the royal family came to persuade her, trying to lead her to speak, but to no avail.
It wasn't until later when Sigurd came to greet her that she suddenly poured out a flood of resentful words like a spring that had been flowing for a long time, and Sigeld's heart swelled and he burst the buttons of the iron armor.
Sigeld professed to leave Goodrun, but Brunhilde refused and scolded Higeld for going out, saying that she would not betray Guennar.
The thought of having two living beings calling her his wife was unacceptable to Brünnhilde's haughty heart as a former goddess.
So when Guennar returned, Brunhilde demanded that he have Sigeld killed. This deepened Guennar's jealousy and suspicion; However, because he had sworn no enmity with Sigeld, he still refused his wife's request. Brünnhilde turned to Hugoney, but Hugoni did not want to break his oath, but called Guthom to take his place. Under the words of wolf meat and provocativeness, Gutom finally agreed to Brunhilde's matter.
So in the darkness of the night, Gutom sneaked into Sigeld's bedroom. Just as he was about to start, he saw Sigurd's sparkling gaze and quickly withdrew. The second time he went in again, it was still the same. By the time he entered the third time, Sigurd was asleep, and Gutom stabbed him in the back and abdomen with a spear.
Despite his mortal wounds, Sigurd was able to sit up, remove his sword, and throw it at the fleeing Assassin; Gutom was cut in two and died at the door. However, Sigurd was also badly injured, so he whispered a goodbye to the terrified Gudrune, and Sigurd gave up.
Sigurd's son was also killed at the same time. Poor Goodrune just cried over the two corpses; And Brünnhilde laughed. This made Guennar angry, and he regretted that he had not prevented this tragedy from happening.
The Nibelunge mourned Sigurd and held a grand cremation in his honor. Many funeral gifts, many weapons, and the sacred horse that Sigeld rode during his lifetime were all ready to be cremated; The women were most worried about Goodrun, for she was so grieved that she had no more tears.
Many women tried to induce Goodrune to cry, but to no avail. It wasn't until he put Shygeld's head on her lap that Goodrun's tears rained down.
When Brünnhilde saw the body of Sigeld and the martyred horse, he suddenly felt no more resentment towards Sigeld, leaving only remorse and love.
She went back to her bedroom, dressed herself in her best clothes, and gave the rest of her belongings to the maid.
On the day of Sigurd's cremation, Brunhilde rode on horseback and dressed in full costume, as she had been when she was Odin's Valkyrie, and solemnly walked into the great crematory.
There were no tears, no lamentations, only the steps that had never regretted, and they went firmly towards the burning fire. Step by step, so heavy......
After her death, Brünnhilde's soul was brought back to heaven by Odin, who told her that this was the punishment for her love with mortals.
After a love-hate entanglement, Brunhilde became reticent, and even Odin reshaped her body didn't change that.
Since then, there has been no love, only a Valkyrie who is becoming more and more fierce on the battlefield.
"Those things are in the past, I'm not like you!"
"I will not be affected by these things anymore, and I also advise you, if you continue like this, you will not end well!"
Brunhilde suddenly shook the lightning gun in his hand, his long golden hair flew instantly, and he said vigorously to Horace Guth and the three of them.
