The truce had ended. Ubba was back and Guthrum ordered that the hostages were to be killed.

Athena had stayed beside Ragnar and Brida, none of the Danes daring to attack her. She stayed stood until she saw Uhtred being cornered. She was quick to take out her own sword and stand her ground, protecting Uhtred—as did Ragnar and Brida.

Uhtred and Athena promised them that they will be together once more, forever, but they had to go back to King Alfred.

And they did.

They had bought a horse from a random man on the coast, riding to their estate. It looked empty.

Athena frowned as Uhtred helped her off of the horse. "Nobody is here." Athena uttered, looking up at Uhtred, who held a firm look.

The pair continued to look around, stopping as they heard a voice. "Better than Barley!" They recognised it to be Oswald's voice.

Uhtred led the way, Athena trailing behind him as she petted one of the goats. Uhtred opened the curtain, walking into the room.

Athena grimaced as she heard the noises, staying outside for a moment until she heard screeching. "Lord! Lord!"

Athena slowly walked in, grimacing as she looked down at Oswald, and a girl, who was far too young.

"Forgive me, Lord, lady. Never happened before, I swear it'll never happen again." Oswald panted heavily, covering himself as he looked up at the siblings. "It was the girl's idea."

"It was not!" The girl scoffed, turning to him with wide eyes.

"Where is my wife?" Uhtred immediately asked Oswald.

"It was not my idea—"

Uhtred unsheathed his sword, pointing it at the pair as they both panicked. "Where's my wife and child?"

"Wait! Wait, lord!" Oswald panicked, holding out his hand as he stared at Uhtred. "Shes with Lord Odda, the Younger." He told them as Athena frowned, looking up at Uhtred.

"Odda?" Uhtred frowned, making Oswald nod.

"Yes, Lord. He took the lady and your son." Oswald said as Athena's eyes widened. Mildrith had given birth, and to a boy. "She went willingly to protect the child."
