The Northmen

Chapter 3: Their Back

Alfred's Point Of View
"You know that if you keep laying with me then you are not going to be the faithful Christian that you hope to be." Torvi told me while laying on her side after we finished laying together again.

"I do not care if I'm unfaithful, I like you in my bed more then my own wife, Lady Torvi." I told her and she just moved away from me, sitting up and saying,

"My name is Torvi not lady Torvi or whatever other name you call me, I am Torvi so say nothing else." She told me then she got out of bed and dressed herself.

"Where are you going?" I asked her, she looked over her shoulder and said,

"To my son and if you try to stop me then I will kill your guards not you because you are the only man who can free me from England so I can leave this land and go back North so my son can meet his father." She told me then left.

I want her more then my own good Christian wife, she is unlike all of us though I do not know anything of who her son's father is nor who her own family or how important she is to them but to me I would never give her up even if it is the last thing that I do, I would give England up for her.

Torvi's Point Of View
I hated being made his whore but he is in control of what happens to my son so whatever he wants I give him but I always drink the tea that Erik The Red, my most trusted man, the man who was best friends with my brother and my son's father. The tea stops me from being able to carry a child, I would carry someone's child if I loved them but never a Saxon and not the Saxon who has a wife and is happy, I would cut his dick off if I was his wife but I am the mistress so I keep my mouth shut. I know that he has told my people that he killed my men and I, back then I did not know that I was with child and if I could do it all over again I would of never left the North because then my son would know more of his father then his name and the stories that he hears but it is the past and I can not change it so I'm making his life better than some of the others children only because I open my legs for the King.

"Thank you for the tea Erik." I said while sitting in our dinning room, the two of us live together with my son because he does not have a wife nor children, I do not have a husband but I do have a child who I named after Erik because his been there for myself and my son for the last eight years now.

"Thank you for naming the only Bjornsson after me." He told me while joining me at the table.

"I have told you many times that Erik Bjornsson will always have the name Erik after you, Erik The Red." He just nodded.

"What I would give to be back home in the North, with my father, brother and so that my son can know more of his family other then the stories that he is told." I told Erik who only said to words to me and they gave me hope more hope then I've had in the last eight years of my life.

"Their Back."

"My father?" I asked he nodded and said,

"Ragnar too."

"I guess we will both get what we wish for, maybe we can find you a woman so you can have a child of your own?" I asked him and he just laughed saying,

"Drink your tea, we do not need you to have two children to two different Kings, one is just fine."

"Shut up, I do this so he does not kill us because even if it is the last thing I do, my son will met his father even if it is only for a few minutes, that is all I want of my life now." I told Erik before taking a sip of my tea and having my son join us in the room and sitting with us at the table.

"Tell me more of my father, Erik." Then it started the tales of Bjorn Ironside's travels, raids, fails and many more stories, something I never got to have with my mother.
