The queen stood beside Ivar with a warm smile on her face and a crown on her head in the great hall that was now filled with a great number of people. She looked so different to the people that watched her, still with a hint of fear, and with deep respect.
The laughter of the children playing outside could be heard and Brynhildr enjoyed, impatiently awaiting for the day when her child will do the same. Kattegat was alive once again, the sun was shining brightly, and the people welcomed it into their hearts.
Even Ivar the Boneless, one of the most ruthless King, Kattegat have ever known, even him, seemed different.
Son of Ragnar, descendant of Odin, and perhaps the God himself was on the throne, like it should be.
"People of Kattegat, the era of the winter is finally over!" Ivar yelled raising a horn filled with beer and people cheered.
"But Brynhildr will remain your queen, and queen of Norway, she will be my wife, and I want you to remain loyal to her as well because no matter what, she will be under my protection." Ivar said taking the hand of his wife in his.
"What about the endless winter our country was put trough? People suffered because of her selfish ambitions." The bitter man who used to be a king before Brynhildr took away that tile from him spoken, Harald.
Ivar took a step towards him, as he flashed with anger because someone dared to speak against his Queen.
" It is alright Ivar. "Brynhildr said.
" I accept that what I done was wrong, I hurt many of people, and caused a lot of suffering, unaware of what I was doing. And I know that every sin comes with a price. Forgiveness must be earned with a hard work. Even after the two years of ruling I must still be a stranger to you. So I will retreat and leave Ivar the Boneless, the son of Ragnar to make a decision that are important for your country. Perhaps I am not as strong as I used to be, but I will do everything to protect my people. Also we will make the alliance with Kiev, which will make us unstoppable no matter what we do. "Brynhildr said knowing that Igor, the right heir for the throne was now ruling, even if he was just a child, the people she trusted in Kiev, were helping him.
