Valeria prayed that the plan would work. That the army would successfully take Lundene back from the Dane brothers.
She prayed that her brother and Aldhelm would not be harmed, and the warriors of Mercia.
But, she also prayed that the Irishman, whom had lingered in her thoughts, would not be harmed in the battle.
But, Valeria tried to ignore her worrying thoughts as she sat in her tent, braiding Æthelflæd's hair into two plaits.
The two women sat in a comforting silence, embracing each other's presence. Valeria had grown to care for the girl as if Æthelflæd was her sister.
Valeria had been by Æthelflæd's side since the woman came to Mercia. Valeria helped her get use to Mercia as a whole, which Æthelflæd was grateful for. She was glad she would not be alone.
Æthelflæd then cleared her throat, fidgeting with her hands as Valeria ran her fingers through her hair. "Do you think the plan will work?"
Sitting up, Valeria slowly nodded her head as she bit her inner cheek. "I do hope so, sister." Valeria softly smiled down at the younger girl. "Besides, i have heard of all the battles Lord Uhtred has participated in. And he stands victorious against the Danes."
Æthelflæd grinned at that, nodding in agreement. "He brings victory to England." Valeria nodded her head as well at that. "He is like a good look charm."
A chuckle left Valeria's lips at her words, finishing one of Æthelflæd's braids as she tied it up with a ribbon. "A good luck charm?" Valeria repeated in a questioning tone.
"Yes." Æthelflæd joined in with Valeria's chuckles, looking over her shoulder at the dark haired woman. "It sounds absurd, I know." She then quickly said, shaking her head.
But Valeria softly smiled, squeezing Æthelflæd's shoulder. "No it does not." She shook her head, watching as Æthelflæd mimicked her smile, turning her head back around. "I suppose we all have a good luck charm."
"Do you?" Æthelflæd asked, raising her brow in interest as Valeria worked on her other braid.
Valeria shrugged her shoulders, concentrating on Æthelflæd's hair. "I do not think so." She shook her head, pursing her lips. "Luck is a foreign thing to me."
