The song I am listening to while writing this chapter is - Cashmere Cat ft Ariana Grande - Quit
Nova's POV
"Who does he think he is? Deceiving me like that, for a minute I thought he had a heart" I scream while barge into my chamber where Torvi and Amelia are picking out a dress for me and I startle them
"What happened?" Torvi stops and asks
"Ivar happened! He was making a fool out of me" I say while searching for different shoes to wear
"What?" Amelia says while looking confused
"He made a fool out of me! He took me out to a picnic and for once I thought he had good intentions but no, he strategic scheming mind never puts anything above his own propagandas" I keep speaking as I remove my right heel while standing on my left leg , Amelia and Torvi don't even bother to help as they are more interested in Ivar and I
"What propoganda?" Torvi asks while her eyes meets Amelia, as if they knew about something the suitors arrangement
"You both knew?" I stop while still standing on my left leg and staring at them, waiting for them to answer
"Ofcourse not!" Both of them say in unison and I let out a breath and believe them
"That devil wants me to choose a husband in the upcoming week, they have arranged for a feast and invited suitors from France to see me! Can you believe it? I have given my word to Andrew! And who is he to organise a feast for me to find a suitor?! My Father?! JESUS!" I finally get both of my heels off and search for my boots
"He would never do that, there must be a reason" Amelia says with confusion in her eyes and storms out of the chamber
"I cannot believe this" Torvi says "Ivar is unpredictable but I never thought he would do such a thing!" she says and steps closer to me to help me put on my boot
"I have stopped believing in people all-together" I sigh
"Torvi?" I say
"Yes?" she replies
"Let's go for sword-fighting, you promised me, now is the right time" I say and she nods, I have to divert all this anger inside of me or-else I might do something "Unprincess" like in my wrath that is burning inside of me
"What did you do?" Amelia says with anger as she comes into the war room where I am planning my next move
"Talk to me like that again and you will never find out because um... you'll be dead" I smirk and say
She gets fearful and says, " I didn't mean it to sound like that but seriously she is furious, you said you wanted to marry her! Then why did you change your mind?"
"I am doing what I have to do, just makes sure she looks like a tempting goddess in the feast" I scoff and say
"I am afraid she won't come" Amelia says, "She is furious and headstrong, you don't know her"
"She has to, orelse I will wipe away her whole family in a second" I say
"Then according to me you should give that message to her" Amelia says as I raise an eyebrow while appreciating her idea of threatening the life out of Nova for her to come for the feast
"I will, now leave" I say and put my focus back on the map as Amelia leaves in silence
"HAAA!" I push my sword towards Torvi but she blocks it with her sword as Amelia nervously stands on the side

TORVI
"You can do better than that Nova, slant your sword to the right" She says and attacks me with her sword, we are no longer wearing pretty clothes but rather warriors clothes. Wearing these clothes make me feel powerful, one set was given to me by Torvi in which I fit perfectly.
I block her attempt and fall to the ground only to attack her feet but she jumps and I miss it, I get up and charge towards her and our swords clash with each other while we keep striking each other while going back and forth finally I overpower her and twist her sword around so it falls to the ground, she raises her hands up in defeat and say, "You are a quick learner" and smiles
"It's because I have a great teacher" I bend down and retrieve her sword to give it back and she shocks me by putting the sword on my throat and saying, "Not so soon, it's not over yet" and I laugh
We run around the castle sword-fighting and breaking whatever comes near us, I spot Ubbe sitting with 3 men and I say, "Hello Ubbe" only for Torvi to attack me but I duck and her sword hits the wall
Thank God my mother is not here or else she would have killed me for causing the damage to the castle walls and furniture, I love my new found freedom a-lot, with the vikings I can do whatever I want without an ounce of judgement
We keep fighting till we reach the outside of stables and I hit Torvi sword so hard that she finally hits the ground and starts laughing, I put my sword on her neck and command her
"Say you give up!!"
She continues to laugh and I join her, she says "I give up!" and we both sit on the ground panting like dogs when I hear the sound from the back
"Want to fight me?"
I turn around and it's Ivar, smiling at me like a long lost lover
"No, I don't fight cowards" I say as I get up and his smile turns to anger, he pulls out a sword and attacks me, I block his sword but he is much stronger than I am
"IVAR BE CAREFUL, DON'T HURT HER. IVAR!!!!" Torvi screams from behind but he doesn't listen
"No mercy" He stops and says
"No mercy" I reply
We both look dead into each other's eye, ready to kill each other for our own reasons.
His blue eyes and my brown eyes make it seem as if The Ocean and The Earth are ready to fight.
And the war begins.......
