Her brother was to marry, which Athena didn't understand. Why should he have to marry a woman he does not know to show loyalty to Alfred.

She just hoped Alfred wasn't planning to wed her off to show her loyalty, because she would just deny and argue.

Athena stood next to Uhtred, arms crossed over her chest as they stood in the praying room, Leofric with them also.

They turned when the door opened, revealing Father Beocca. "Shes here, praise God." He smiled at Uhtred, walking towards the three. "You should stand and look respectful, if not entirely clean."

"How does she look?" Uhtred immediately asked.

"Terrified, I bet." Leofric uttered, making Athena chuckle as she turned to the door.

"I would be if I was being married off to a man I did not know." Athena hummed, looking up at Uhtred, who nudged her arm.

Then, in walked Odda and young Odda, a woman with her face covered by their side. Athena frowned at that, raising a brow.

"If you could be brief with the ceremony, Father Beocca, I would be grateful." Odda told the priest, standing beside Athena. "I have business with the King."

Beocca nodded his head at the man. "The bride has been given her price?" Uhtred asked, nodding at the woman, who still had her face covered.

"She will."

Young Odda handed something to the woman, making her nod her head. "If the betrothed couple would like to join me at the altar..." Beocca nodded at the pair with a smile. "And join hands."

Athena gave Uhtred a nod, a slight grin ok her face as he rolled his eyes, walking up to the altar, as did the woman.

Athena moved to stand beside Leofric, looking at Uhtred and the woman, arms still crossed over her chest.

The woman reached up to take the hood down, revealing her face. Athena had to admit, the woman was pretty. But she had always seen Uhtred marrying Brida.

The betrothed held hands, looking at each other with a slight smile. "May God I'm his heaven look down with mercy upon his devoted servants, Uhtred and Mildrith." Beocca started, gesturing to the pair. "May he bless their union with love, and children, and wealth."
