The Last Kingdom one shots

You broke my heart first- Edward

No one could stop her. Inside, she drew looks of disapproval from the various people inside. A soldier was about to pull her out, but to no avail... All it took was one look inherited from her illustrious ancestor to dissuade him.

- "How dare you set foot in here!" said Edward indignantly.

-" You tell me how dare you threaten my family?" Answered coldly in a calm tone (Y/N).

- "You were with them!" The king angrily exclaimed.

"This is all a trick by your father-in-law! And yet you condemn an innocent man!" Replied in the same tone the young warrior.

- "Since when do these heathens declare themselves innocent!" A Saxon exclaimed.

"It is between him and me do not interfere!" replied defiantly (Y/N)

"No insolence" tempered Uthred

-"But finally majesty! You are not going to let this savage dictate your conduct in your own camp!" said indignantly the same Saxon

"Everybody out! NOW!" The king lost his temper.

He didn't make himself say it twice. (Y/N) had an eye-contact with Uthred, who seemed to be really worried about the future of England. Never had tension been at its highest between the Danes and the Saxons, who had been sharing the same land for years now. He knew (Y/N) who had inherited from Ivar the Boneless his unpredictable temperament and especially when it came to protecting her own. Even if it meant getting out the claws.

"Your brother has made a grave mistake! Edward braced himself

-"He felt betrayed! And asking him to give up his identity is not the way to reach a prosperous agreement! That would be lying to ourselves." Defended (Y/N).

"(Y/N)... "

"No Edward! You have lost your sister! You should understand this pain! Dare to bring your blade down on him and it will be over between us!" Warned seriously (Y/N)

"There is an another way, if you agree to marry me then our both families will become one and I will turn a blind eye to what happened ." Proposed Edward knowing the position of (Y/N). To stay free and not depend on any men.

-" Your actions today have already destroyed my heart" replied the young woman with a broken voice.

And this did not leave indifferent the young king who recognized this look. It was the same expression that they had met a few years earlier. Her, on the ramparts of Winchester, him on the battlefield unleashing his fury, showing his dark side to the world. Until a few weeks ago, when they had just become closer, they had never admitted their mutual attraction. Despite the eternal conflict that had pitted their respective families for decades. At that moment, all she could think about was what Sigtryggr would say to this proposal. "I have to talk to them first." She said.

"No, this decision, you make it right now!" Ordered the king, who was losing patience with (Y/N)'s stubborn mind.

Reluctantly, she agreed, broken.

"I would never lie to myself." Replied with indifference (Y/N) before leaving the tent and isolating herself in the forest, worrying about her future.
