Secrets & Betrayl

I was casually walking around the great hall. A feast was being held today. People drank, laughed and ate together. It was a normal day in Kattegat. I was on my way out, when I felt someone bump my shoulder. 

"I am sorry, my queen"

A smile rose to my face, as I felt Bjorn lean down to kiss the back of my hand. He got back up to pull me slightly closer to him.
"Where are you going?", he asked. I smiled and leaned up to him in order to kiss his cheek. 
"I was just going for a walk", I whispered into his ear.
"Mind if I join?", He mumbled, grinning wildly at me. I only shook my head and pulled him with me by his hand. Once we left the great hall and stepped out into the cold, he put an arm around me. Together, we slowly wandered through the empty streets of Kattegat.

"It's a beautiful night", I said after a while. 
"Not as beautiful, as you", I heard Bjorn mumble. I felt, as he leaned down and softly kissed my cheek. I felt his breath hit my skin and his ticklish beard on my neck made me giggle. 

"I love you", Bjorn stated.
I looked up at him. His eyes shone with adoration, his words pure and nothing but the whole truth.
I carefully grasped his cheek:"I know"
I put my lips on his, before any of us could say anything more. I heard him sigh into the kiss, as he pulled me closer by my waist. His lips tasted like ale, but even though, he was intoxicated, his love was real. It had always been. From the day  we met, till the day my father arranged our wedding, till today, where he kissed me like his life depended on it. Like I was his oxygen in a burning world.

Unfortunately, I had never reciprocrated his feelings. Sure, he was charming and a King. The king of one of the greatest cities in whole Norway. He had always treated me nice, never said or did anything to catch my disapproval, but still...I didn't love him. My heart belonged to someone else, but he could never know, it would destroy him. 

So, as he pressed his lips against mine so passionately, every other woman would have fainted,  but my thoughts were with someone else. 

"How about we go back?", Bjorn asked, after we parted. I could feel his ragged breath against my lips. They felt sore, like he had taken away any feeling other than regret and pain for betraying him like this.
"Y/N?", he asked. Upon hearing my name, I looked up at him. I inspected his face for a second. He seemed so out of breath, so taken aback by such a simple kiss.
I was about to deny his request, as I heard the footsteps of someone else approaching us. 

"Who do we have here?", the Person asked, a smile on her face.

"Mother", Bjorn smiled, trying to hide how flustered he was. He walked over to her, greeting her with a hug. 
"Hello Lagertha", I said after the two of them parted. Lagertha smiled and walked over to me, also embracing me in a hug:"Y/N, it's so nice to see you"
Her hug almost lasted so long, that I thought, Bjorn would get suspicious. But he didn't, and the hug merely lasted a few seconds, maybe it just seemed longer for me, as I felt Lagertha's hand on my back, her long tender fingers around my ribcage.

"What are you doing here, Mother?"

Bjorn's words brought me back to the present moment. He looked at his mother with a smile on his face, even though the blush on his cheeks was obvious. 
"Just enjoying the quiet night. Since everyone is feasting in the Great Hall, the city is pretty empty."
Bjorn nodded at her answer, looking around a little bit.
"We were just going back , why don't you join us?", He smiled, even though it was obvious, that he very much despised the presence of his mother right now. His eyes met mine and I saw the lust in his eyes, the Devour. 

"Actually", Lagertha answered, turning to me,"I was looking for Y/N here, we have a few thing to talk about"
Bjorn looked surprised:"You do?"
He looked over to me, his eyes questioning if this was a joke or a serious statement. I only smiled and nodded:"We do, yes"
"What do you have to talk about?", Bjorn asked, clearly not understanding, what was going on.
"Oh, you know, Shield Maiden stuff, you wouldn't understand", Lagertha chuckled and patted Bjorn's shoulder, as she pushed him into the direction of the Great Hall. 

"I see you later, my king"; I smiled, as I waved him goodbye. He only smiled and looked at me one more time. Desperation in his eyes, he seemed to ask if I couldn't somehow come with him.
But I didn't give him that satisfaction, so I only smiled, as I watched him walk back to the Great Hall by himself. 

"That went smoother than I expected", Lagertha said and turned towards me with a smile. I only nodded at her.
"Why so quiet my Love?", Lagertha asked and brought her hand up to rest on my cheek.
"I can't help, but once again feel like I am betraying Bjorn", I answered shyly.
"My Love", Lagertha smiled,"Were you ever in love with him to begin with?"
"No", I said questioningly. Lagertha chuckled:"Then your're not betraying him, your're only following your heart"
I smiled at her words, she always managed to brighten my mood, one of the many reasons why I loved her.

"So, how about-"

Before Lagertha could finish her sentence, I pulled her closer to me by her waist, connecting our lips in a tender kiss. I poured all my emotions into that kiss, all my adoration, all my love for her. It felt like a light had switched. Instead of Bjorn kissing me with all his emotions, it was me kissing Lagertha now, but this time, my feelings were as real, as Bjorn's feelings for me. 

"I love you", I mumbled against her lips.
"I know", Lagertha chuckled.
"Do you?", I grinned.
"Oh please", she said sarcastically,"You wouldn't kiss me like that, if you weren't."
"You're right about that", I said and let my hand wander to rest on her neck, while the other was still softly holding onto her waist. I leaned forward slightly, her long hair tickled my cheek.

"But same goes for you"

Her breath stocked and she leaned more into my touch:"You're such a smart girl, aren't you?"
"I am", I said cockily.
"Is that so?", she asked, a devilish grin on her face now.
"You know what?", she leaned in, but she stopped millimeters away from my lips, her breath fanned over my skin, our noses nudging.

"Smart girls deserve a treat"

As I laid with her that night, I was able to forget about Bjorn completely. Lagertha reminded me of who I belonged, who she belonged to. She remided my of why I loved her, why secrets and Betrayl were worth it, if you managed to find the right person.
