Property of Viggo Grimborn (reader X Viggo)

Joining Viggo

You woke up to the sound of hunters yelling and the sounds of metal clanging.
You sat up and stretched, letting yesterday's events wash into your mind.
A couple seconds later, someone opened the tent doors, you squinted, trying to adjust to the sunlight. It was a woman, maybe more of a maid. She was dressed in uniform and was holding a tray of what you supposed to be food. Before you could even question her arrival-
"Lord Viggo wants you to eat your breakfast and go to his tent when you are done." She spoke, informatively.
While you were still trying to process what had happened, she was putting the tray on the table that conveniently is placed in your tent. She said a final
"Enjoy! I'll be back in an hour to get the empty dish." And made a dash for the door. You glanced at the tray, it was a bowl of porridge, some berries and water. You yelled a quick
"Thanks!" Before the woman was completely out of earshot.
You got out of bed. Rubbed your eyes tiredly and approached the meal. You sat down on the stool and started eating.
You were down to your last berry when someone walked in. You sat facing the door while eating so you could tell who it was.
You recognized it as 'Ryker'
"(y/n) are you done? It's been 30 minutes and Viggo's waiting."
You hurriedly nodded and stood up, wiping your mouth with your sleeve.
Ryker turned around and gestured for you to follow.
You left your tent to see the hunters doing typical dragon hunter things. Making weapons, patrolling, stuff like that. Though if your memory served you correctly, there seemed to be less of them. As Ryker was leading you there, you could hear loud chattering coming from a big tent. Viggo didn't have time to show you to that part of the base. You had no idea what the purpose of it was. Only relying on pure guessing, perhaps it was where the dragon hunters ate.
'Most of the dragon hunters are probably eating' you thought.
"Viggo?" Ryker said.
You were so lost in thought, you had only now come to realize that you had already arrived at Viggo's tent.
"Come in" Viggo said.
You and Ryker stepped in.
"Hello Ryker, (y/n)." He looked the both you in the eye as he said your names. He was sitting at a table he had in the corner. You had put on a happy face. You were energised and excited for what Viggo meant.
You nodded, not wanting to seem impolite.
He returned the gesture before turning to Ryker.
"Brother, will you leave us?"
'They're brothers? But they don't look alike at all!' You thought, astonished.
Once Ryker was gone Viggo-
"I hope the breakfast was to your liking."
You smiled
"It was wonderful, thank you for your hospitality."
He flashed a smile too.

"I'm sure you are curious to what I meant yesterday."
You stayed silent, waiting for him to go on.
"It means I want you to help me achieve my goal of being the wealthiest dragon hunter in the entire archipelago."
".....So you want me to help-"
"I want you to help me expand my business."
"I- I- What? But I'm a slav-"
"I know you are, and I'm your master. But it's not everywhere you find people who have your level of...intellect. But don't think that I-"
'Intellect.....Intellect...' The word echoed through your mind.
'So he only wants me for my intellect.. hah.. how foolish of me.. to think-'
"I would love to be of assistance to you, Viggo."
He paused, cutting himself off from whatever he was saying. "Great!" He continued.
'As if I had a choice' you hid your frown.
"Now that we're on the same page, feel free to ask any questions."
You hesitated.
"Come on, I'm sure you have some questions."
"..Who were those dragon riders?"
