The fresh meat and the cold wine with the vegetables, was delicious. It was like a mix of the cold winter and the sweet summer. Everyone was laughing, eating and talking and I sometimes couldn't stop myself from smiling when I looked at some of the funny men.
"So, do you like it. It's probably not as good as the food you get in your castle?" Hvitserk asked with a little smile. He was sitting besides me. "Just because I'm a queen and have a castle doesn't mean that I'm someone who can't appreciate good food and respect a welcome." I said harshly but gave him a little smile afterwards so he would not take it personal. He didn't, he just started laughing. "I take that as an: I like the food and I love you."
I nearly chocked on my wine. funny guy.  
"When you interpret what I just said like that, I indeed have to be careful with what I say to you."

Hvitserk and I were talking a long time, even when men where leaving and the table got cleaned by some slaves.
"why did you provoke him then?" Hvitserk laughed when I told him about he first time my brother and I got into a fight.
I had to tell him something about me so he would be more open towards me and I could learn some more about the 5 brothers who rule a kingdom together.

"Brother! Why did you then do it? Oh yes because you think you are sooooooo cool right? Yes oh Odinson, my brother is amazing." I said with the most disrespectful tone I could. "Don't be so stupid, sis! I did it because it was the best for you. The boy you were talking to could be killed by father in a second, okay? I did it because you can't get fooled by anyone." I was surprised of how wise he spoke. "Well maybe father should then kill you for speaking to me!!!" I yelled running out of his room.

"I was mad. He ruined a friendship... at least I thought about it like that, when it happened. Now I understand why he did it." Hvitserk listened with though-full eyes. "What happens then?" He asked full of curiosity in his voice. "Well, I thought about it. And I would rather lose a friend instead of my brother... so I walked at night time to his room. He was still awake, he knew I would come and then we just laid in his bed until we fell asleep..." I said looking down in my cup, smiling. "... of course my father had heard that we were in the same room and got mad. Wanted to hit us but my mother stopped him, telling him that when our bond is strong as young kids, the kingdom will be in good hands when we grow older." Hvitserk smiled.
"What a cute story." The Same deep voice said like in the horse stable. I turned to the wood door seeing the same beautiful eyes like before. "How can It be that i never hear him come?" I said to Hvitserk, yet so loud that Ivar could hear it. Hvitserk laughed.
"Could you tell me another?" Ivar said as sarcastic as possible. "No! ... it's Hvitserks turn to tell me a story, my dear." he frowned before crawling over to the table, placing himself in front of us. I was somehow impressed of how good he managed to get around without using his legs. he looked so... furious. his eyes were so deep and ... full of everything I ever looked for. Don't get fooled.                                                                                                                                                                        Hvitserk looked between me and Ivar. "well..." he said , so I looked back at him but I could still feel Ivar's fears eyes look on me. "my brother and I were never as fast at forgiving but we would still somehow stick together. "I could tell you that my brothers plan a war against Aethelwulf." he said sharp looking at Ivar, somehow with both hate and love. "and for what good will this war be?" I asked. This made Ivar laugh which made me look at him. "it will show everything. it will be a sensation and I can then show that i am a strategist." he said smirking. he is dangerous. don't get fooled. "are you just a queen or also a warrior?" He asked. how dares he. my jaw clenched and I couldn't help but get mad. calm down. don't do something you will regret. you need them.

"I'm more than both!"
