Bjorn was standing outside of Floki house letting out a sigh as he was a little overwhelmed after seeing his father and Elizabeth after so many years as he dreamed of reuniting with them ever since he left Kattegat with his mother. " it's good to have you back" Ragnar spoke as he appeared next to his son with a small smile on his lips as Bjorn nodded his head in agreement, " Me too. I've had a longing to be reunited with you and Lizzie for so long. It almost feels like a dream like this isn't really real"

"You weren't happy with your mother?" Ragnar questioned with his brows raised only for Bjorn to stay silent for a couple of moments before he answered, " I tried to be, for her, but she married this man he's nothing but horrid to her. I don't understand why she continues being with a man she does not love and allows him to treat her the way he is" Ragnar had a look of guilt on his face before he muttered, " women don't make it far in the world without a husband. I mean, look at Elizabeth she's only sixteen years old and she's married"

Bjorn eyes widened in shock as he turned his head looking towards Lizzie who was down by the river with Uhtred watching as he picked up the blonde who squealed loudly as he jumped into the water, " she's married?" He asked with a look of hurt and devastation staring at the blonde girl as Ragnar hummed nodding his head in confirmation, "Yeah, they married just recently. Elizabeth is a good person, she's kind and selfless. I know that Uhtred loves her and will do everything to make sure Elizabeth is happy but there is also apart of me that thought she would end up with you"

"You know, when i was a boy i used to hate her when I first met Elizabeth. She was so opinionated and headstrong. She irritated me like no other. It was clear that I wanted to marry her when I was older and you and mother saw it as well especially with the hints the both of you used to drop" Bjorn spoke causing Ragnar to smile in amusement as his eyes flickered over to his daughter who climbed out of the river only for Uhtred to launch himself towards making the two of them fall back into the water.

" there's hope for that though. When you and your mother left Elizabeth felt so lost and then she met Uhtred he was there for her and I know he is willing to anything for that girl" Ragnar explained with a small smile only for Bjorn to shake his head in response as he trailed off, " but I have returned" Bjorn had his eyes on Elizabeth with a jealous look on his face as he watched her kiss Uhtred making Ragnar send him a sympathetic look placing his hand, " indeed you have but she's taken. It's time to let her go, she's happy with Uhtred things could change in the future but right now she is so in love with that boy she won't even blink an eye at anybody else"

A little while later, Elizabeth , Ragnar, Bjorn, Torstein, Rollo, Lagertha and Floki where all gathered around inside to finalise their plan to retake Kattegat from Jarl Borg, " So, what's the plan?" Lizzie clapped her hand together glancing around at everyone as she leaned back in her chair with her arms folded across her chest beside Ragnar. " even with Lagertha's additional forces. We cannot attack Kattegat and hope to succeed. Jarl Borg is well dug in" Torstein announced speaking to the rest of the room.
