Nova's POV
"Bring me Alfie! Right Now!" I command kitty, as she rushes inside
"It's too dangerous!" Alfred screams
"He will burn everyone and everything Alfred, you don't know him" I say as I look at him
"No Nova, I cannot let this happen" Jezebel panics, "Alfred go with her"
"HE WILL KILL ALFRED!" I yell with my bloodshot eyes
"Your Majesty, Alfie" Kitty brings Alfie as I hold him in my arms
"Bring me my horse" I command and the guards bring Ella to me
"You are risking your life, you are falling into his trap!" Jezebel says as her voice cracks
"He will not harm me, trust me. I will come back to you" I assure Alfred
"Promise?" He asks with short breath as his eyes beg me to stay
"I promise" I assure as he presses his lips on mine, tasting like wine
Alfie and I ride towards the west of the castle, where the vikings have camped.
It starts pouring as I cover little Alfie with my cloak
'Momie are wie going to see dadie?" Alfie screams as Ella gallops
"Yes baby" I reply as the rain hampers my vision
But not my resolution to see him.
"Keep your head in the cloak" I say to Alfie as he follows my words
Finally we arrive at the camp, the vikings become alerted but they don't raise their arms at me
"Nova?" Torvi smiles and run towards me as I dismount my horse with Alfie in my arms
"Where is Ivar?" I ask as Torvi closely analyses Alfie
"Come with me" Torvi mutters as she walks me towards a makeshift wooden room from which I can hear men laughing out loud
My veins shake as I let out a breath and follow Torvi to enter the room
As I enter, the room falls silent
I see Ivar sitting on the throne and his eyes looking at me. He gives out a wicked smile, while Hvitserk is sits on the floor by the side of Ivar
(Ivar & Hvitserk)
"Ah! Look who is here" Ivar mocks
"Dadie!" Alfie runs and jumps on Ivar
Ivar kisses and smothers him and make him sit on his lap
"Ain't he like me?" Ivar asks Hvitserk as Hvitserk smiles and nods
"Can I talk to you in private, Alfie can stay" I say
As Ivar look at his men and gestures them to leave, Hvitserk and Torvi leave too
