[Denmark][Territory of Sigurd Ragnarsson][Berg Town]Bam!"Hey, move your ass, Otrygg!"A burly and bearded man shouted.The man who was kicked stood up and glared back."What ? Do you want a kiss from the great Atli ? AHAHAHAAH!""Aahaaha""Pffffttt!"At Atli's words, several other men laughed hard.They all wore peculiar light armor.Axes were hanging on their waist.Otrygg lowered his head and walked off."Aahahaha! You are acting like a b*tch, Otrygg! You will never enter Valhalla with nothing below! Aahahaha!"Otrygg ran away with burning anger.Crash!He fell on the ground, prompting even more laughter in the town.'Fuck!'Reaching a little house, he kicked the door.Slam!"What…?!"A forty-year-old woman let out, surprised.Though she was old, she aged beautifully."Otrygg! What are you doing?!"She shouted angrily.Otrygg ignored her and sat on a bench.Seeing the state of her son, the mother sighed.Approaching slowly, she sat next to Otrygg."What happened ?""...""Otrygg
"S-Soren Ragnarsson…"Thud_ Thud_ Thud_The moment Otrygg said that, the three men behind him let go of their axes.Their bodies started shivering uncontrollably.Warm liquid leaked out of their pants.Soren Ragnarsson.Vanadis' only child with Ragnar Lothbrok.At ten years old, he lost his mother and started to show dangerous tendencies.At twelve years old, he killed his brother Rognvald Ragnarsson in a ruthless way.He killed him with the blood-eagle execution and hung him before Bjorn's residence.After that, with Runa, his lover, he killed all the Vikings under his half-brothers he would meet.Be it men, women and even children.He killed more Vikings than people from Britannia.He would always send a message in blood to his half-brothers after he erased a town from the map.Though, he would also kill any men from Britannia he would see without hesitation.The same thing, he would write in blood a message for his half-brother with the blood of the people of Britannia.At thirteen
Tap! Tap! Tap!The sound of heavy rain colliding with the roof of a longhouse echoed.Creak!"Huh ? Mom ?"The voice of a five-year-old child rang out.The little boy peeked slightly from his room.Upon seeing his mother, he smiled happily and rushed toward her."Mom!"Soren shouted before jumping into Vanadis' embrace.Vanadis smiled and caught her son."What a spoiled child you are!"She hugged Soren tightly and patted his short golden hair."Soren, I have someone to present to you."Putting down Soren, Vanadis said.She moved her body to the side, revealing a cute little girl who was the same age as Soren.Her beautiful grey hair was drenched by the rain.Soren looked at her curiously.The girl flinched at Soren's dark green eyes and hid behind Vanadis."It's okay, Runa."Vanadis patted Runa's head."He is my son. He will protect you. Right Soren ?"Vanadis asked teasingly at Soren, who was frozen."M-Mom?!""Oh~ You are so cute~"Vanadis said as she found Soren's embarrassed face
Swoooooosh!Thud_"Ah!"Thud_"Arghhh!"Two groans echoed on a vast prairie."Achooo!""Princess, are you okay?!"Nea rushed to Karen worriedly."I'm okay Nea…it's just…"Karen trailed off and looked around her.The cold wind chilled her a bit.Though she was used to it as she was living in the Niveis Kingdom.But something felt off for her…"Where are we…?"She muttered in daze.The atmosphere was very different from Niveis and Lunarstella…"I don't know either, Your Highness…"Nea also looked around her but she could only see grass everywhere."But we are surely far from Niveis and Lunarstella."Then remembering something, Nea opened her eyes wide."Your Highness! Wh-what was that? I have never seen anything like that…"She said with a shocked expression.The space portal appeared out of nowhere and…"The Lord Commander jumped in as if he knew something about it…"The last words of Aita and their actions felt unfamiliar to both Karen and Nea.He was like another person."I don't kno
Thud_! Thud_! Thud_!A man ran on a sandy road fast."Move! Move away bastards!""Kya!"He pushed a woman aside and continued to run.His whole body was sweating.He was utterly exhausted but continued to run.He pushed a few more people away on his course.Of course, it angered a few people."Eh ?"The running man let out as he saw the foot of someone on his way below.But it was too late for him to dodge it.Crash!"Arghh!""Aahahaah! You are not running anymore, ha?!"A bearded man said mockingly.The people around laughed as well.The man who was on the ground stood up quickly.Ignoring the laughter, he resumed running, or at least he tried."Where are you going ?"The same man asked with a fierce glare."Shut UP IDIOT! I have an important message for King Harald!""E-Eh ?"The man stepped back immediately."D-Dont joke with m-""Soren Ragnarsson.""""!!"""The people around froze and their faces turned pale.Taking advantage of their state, he ran at full speed.Soon he reached a
"""..."""Tap Tap Tap"""..."""Tap Tap Tap"Soren."Harald, who was getting impatient, called out to Soren, who was seated on his throne.Tap Tap TapSoren didn't reply and continued to tap the armrest of the throne with his index finger.They were all getting impatient now.Finna, Harald's daughter, looked nervously at Soren.She was left surprised upon seeing his face from up close.He looked very young.Which was strange as Soren should be around twenty-three years old now if he survived five years ago.Even his face was different.The previous Soren had a very handsome face but the one before her had an average one.Though his eyes and presence were darker than ever…Soren glanced at Finna for a second, surprising her."!"She averted her blushing face from Soren's beautiful eyes."Soren!"Harald couldn't see this sight anymore, so he raised his voice.Soren looked back at Harald.Tap Tap Tap"Harald Fairhair.""...""Son of Halfdan the Black and King of all Norway.""..."A mock
Munch_ Munch_"""..."""Harald and his family looked at Soren, fiercely eating the meat.They were all around the dining table and eating.After agreeing to form an alliance, Harald invited Soren to eat but also to talk."Ahaha! You are quite hungry Soren! That's good! Eat as much as you want!"Harald laughed heartily.Soren continued to eat.The people around were still wary of Soren.He was still the man who killed thousands of thousands of their kind.It was still difficult to accept an alliance.But Harald had a good relation with Vanadis in the past.He knew Soren from a child as well.That was the main reason Harald accepted an alliance with Soren.Out of all Ragnar's children, Soren was probably the one he was the closest to.After Vanadis' death, Soren changed and he knew him well.Though Soren was hot-tempered, he wasn't the type to kill like a machine.But his mother's death made an irrecoverable hole in his heart.He became ruthless against anyone crossing his path.Runa's
"Soren Ragnarsson ?"At Zara's mutter, the man turned around and nodded."Yeah, he came that morning. He killed so many of our people…"He said with an angry expression."Eh ? But you said he was King Harald, right ?"Denis couldn't understand what was happening.He killed their people, but from what they heard he was talking leisurely with the King.""Sigh…Yeah, in the end we want our freedom more than a short vengeance.""Freedom ?"Zara got even more confused.The man frowned at their questions."Are you really merchants ? You are aware of nothing and you came here ?"Merchants were welcomed regardless of origin, so Zara and Denis could enter even though their faces were obviously different from Vikings.But merchants must have some knowledge about the kingdom they want to sell in."Ah! Yes! We are merchants, but before that I wanted to show my healing ability to the King…"Zara quickly spoke about her healing magic.She knew from their reactions before that in this kingdom, healin
