Scandinavian leftovers

9

The next evening Dagmar put her knee socks on, with her transparent shirt, and she ordered her servants to redirect the King to her personal room when he arrived at the court. She went under the blankets and waited on him. When he arrived, he thought she was ill. She dragged him below the blanket and they made love. Suddenly, she said 'stop'. She stood up and brought Josephine with her. Josephine was oiled in perfumed oil. She and Dagmar both made love with him that moment. 'Cum in both of us, a bit in me and a bit in Dagmar' Josephine told him 'We deserve your attention! You've been working a lot lately!'.  'We missed you' Dagmar whispered. Dagmar lay on her back, with Josephine laying on her back on Dagmar. Both spread her legs and received the penetration. He flooded Josephine first and the remainder of the seed streamed into Dagmar. After that they all lay down, with Dagmar on the left and Josephine on the right of him. Later in the evening, both women left the room to take a bath. They left a note, saying:

''Dear husband, we are bathing at this time. We prefer the streams of Scandinavia over the occupied waters of the Rhine. Thank you for honouring us with your attendance!''

After he read the note he realised that they were suggesting something unto him. He decided things needed to change. He immediately appointed a minister for foreign affairs and an ambassador for Britain. He also send Twelve men to Frisia in order to report back unto him concerning the situation in the Rhine. He had no intention anymore to support their rebellion against Rome. Thriomphus also realised that the anger of the Frisii against the Romans was not his business. The Romans killed Frisian farmers that lived on empty land across the Rhine river in order to force them to leave. Now, they wanted their revenge. And it seems as if they are getting it. But Thriomphus realised that aiding the Frisii in their vengeance would only involve him and the Scandinavians into an international drama that might cause ethnic tensions for coming centuries. He had a deeper motive for aiding the Frisians against Rome: the Frisians were the transition spot for trade between Scandinavia and Britain. The Frisian isles and the Frisian town Marmamanis Portus were the only places in the Rhine region that was free from taxation by the Empire. If the Frisii would succeed against Rome, this would benefit the wealth of Scandinavia. Furthermore, if the Frisii became hostile towards Rome, Rome would have to put much effort in maintaining peace between them and the Frisii. This would hinder them from focusing their attention on Scandinavia. As the head of state of a country he had to put the interest of his population above his own. His intention, and the intention of both senates of Oslo and Göthaburg, is to maintain domestic tranquility and prevent military conflict with the Finns or maritime warfar against the Romans or the Roman client kingdoms in Greater Germany. The North of Britain was still not occupied by Rome. Nevertheless, he received rumours that the Irish kings have made treaties with the Governor of Britain for inclusion in the Romano-British economy - in exchange the Romans would build military trade settlements in several strategic places in Ireland. The rumour has not been confirmed. If it be true, its a sign that the Romans are serious about perpetrating their civilisation on the British isles. It suddenly occurred unto Thriomphus that one of his wives is Korean. Her country Mahan is a tributary kingdom unto the Chinese Empire, so she can be considered Chinese. He realised that he could benefit from this. Immediately, he arranged an envoy of sixty men, to travel, by road, to the Han court in Luoyang. They had to bring tribute unto the Emperor and seek for a treaty agreement. The senate told him they would prepare the envoy within a week. Sometimes, you just need to be quiet, sit still and relax. That's something that Thriomphus' father learned him before he passed away. Why? It's then that you'll notice a lot of things you didn't notice while you were busy. It's then that the Most High will reveal the opportunities that your situation grants you, options you couldn't see otherwise. Nevertheless, there were more trouble lurking for Thriomphus that he didn't foresee. The urbanisation of past years brought another problem to Scandinavia that wasn't that present as before: crime. This was an issue from the inside out. Both senates, which were occupied and run by the elites, assured him that he had ''nothing to worry about''. because such domestic affairs ''are the elite's problem, not his''. Due to the unoccupied land in the majority of the North of Scandinavia, much wild beasts increased. This made travelling to the northern towns, of which a few existed, quite dangerous. Communication with the northern populace became quite hard. Furthermore, the less population in the north, the more opportunity there were for Finnish settlers to settle and build farms in Scandinavia without permit from the state. Some of the senators became troubled with the idea that there was no border control between Finland and Scandinavia. Also, they had no official navy to patrol the shores to prevent illegal immigration or piracy from other countries. The elites of Norway never realised what kind of trouble they would bring on themselves by forming a confederate union. But, Thriomphus, was mainly concerned with his wives, the court, and the trade relations with China and Britain. That was all his mind went to at that moment. Despite him becoming a head of state, he felt no elitism nor any form of pride. He still can't grasp fully what happened within less than five years. Some years back he was a wandering man seeking adventure, thrill and a way to make an income while travelling. He has been arrested several times, spend times in jail, he was mocked, ridiculed and even chased by violent mobs who wanted to lynch him. He never understood why his life was haunted by hardships from his childhood on. But, little by little, he realised that it all worked together into forming him into someone that takes initiative instead of just seeing what comes along. Some of the people he grew up with are already dead. Either killed by thugs or they were slain in their service for the Roman army. Others married and had children, of whom some of their children died quite early. But for now, he wanted to sleep...
