When I can drown in blood, I can lay on the ground !

The Plan of death

I woke up with a small headache. the room was lit up by the bright sun. Stretching my body, I walked to the standing mirror, starting to take on my clothes. It was all black, just the shining daggers around my waist were silver.
I didn't think. Everything was empty. I was monotonic.

When I walked to the main cabin, I met Lagertha. "Good Morning Jarl." I greeted her, bowing my head slightly. I was still in a higher rank than her, so I would never bow more then my head.
"Good Morning, highness." She smiled, doing as I. "There is food and wine on the table. Take some. Eat. Later we will talk. My son will join you." She said polite yet commanding. And the feeling it gave me, that she saw me as a child made me furious, but I couldn't let my alliance with her break, I just have to prove to her that I am stronger than she thinks.

"Good Morning." Björn stud up when he saw me and went over to me to bow. He looked bigger, stronger and more handsome than 5 years ago. His hair was longer. His shoulder bigger. He had lost his happiness, but the eyes were the same.
"Morning Björn."
We sat down at the wooden table.
"Have you slept well?" He asked.
"Better." I took some bread and fruit on my plate. The bread was soft and the fruit melted in my mouth.
There was a silence, giving me opportunity to think strategy. When I was done, I looked to Björn who was still eating. "You have gotten any kids?" I asked him. I knew the answer. From the beginning he seemed as a man who could take care of his family, he's very protective.
"Yes I have."

There was a huge map placed on the big table. Lagertha, Björn, I and 2 other men who are responsible for the army stud around it.
"So the Christians are from the north, spreading their religious opinions all over. The man with the biggest problem is king Ivar who has send men to kill them, this gives us the opportunity to attack him. He wouldn't see it coming and he wouldn't have the amount of men he needs... so at dawn today in 7 days we are coming from the west to attack... any comments?" Lagertha asked, finishing her speech.
"Yes..." I spoke up. My voice cold as ice. "The king is mine."
They were quite for a moment before nodding.

7 days before I would attack my ex-lover, with his half brother and the woman he tried to kill. In 7 days I would kill him.
No hesitation.
Some men just don't deserve to live.
