Just give me a moment Astra said, Astra dotted her head around the door to inform Erik that she the Lady Freja needed her and she would be back later on that night.
Erik let out a sigh of dismay and rolled his eyes it was at this point he knew his brother had down something wrong and had probably upset the Lady, Erik got up of the bed and dressed himself so he could go and to his brother's chambers to have it out with him.
Meanwhile in Freja's chambers, Freja explained to Astra why she was weeping outside Astra's chambers, after she explained Astra put her hand on Freja's and said to her he cares for you, I think he even loves you.
What do you mean? said Freja.
I don't know what it was but I saw something in his eyes when me and The Lord Erik first arrived at Lunden the way he looked at you they way he is around you, like tonight you stopped him from killing his brother, he listened to you and put the knife down,
I just think he is letting his ego and pride get in his way.
Astra I don't think Sigefrid could care or love anything he is cruel, stubborn and vile. He is nothing like his brother Erik said Freja.
I really do think he cares but maybe there is a way to test it.
Maybe you could teach him a lesson said Astra, yes maybe I need to make him jealous said Freja, yes perfect let's come up with a plan, a great plan to make him jealous.
The next morning Freja woke up feeling refreshed and and happy about what they had set up.
Freja knew what she had to do.
Freja splashed her face with water and put on the most figure hugging gown she could find, she knew that it had to intice one of these unruly Danes or Norsemen.
Freja headed down to the main hall were everyone was having breakfast, as she walked into the hall she noticed Sigefrid couldn't keep his eyes off her, Freja know at this point it was now her chance to make him jealous.
Come sit next to me Freja said Sigefrid.
Freja looked directly at Sigefrid and said no thank you Lord I would rather sit here with these Danes.
As Freja sat down next to these bruts of a Danes named Dagfinn and Haesten she could see Sigefrids face twitching in anger.
Freja gently placed her hand on Dagfinns arm, leaned in and whispered in his ear, maybe after breakfast we can go for a walk along the river.
And with a glint in his eye he replied why yes Lady it would be my pleasure, not realizing that this was angering Sigefrid and that Freja was just using him.
Seeing Freja fawning over Dagfinn angered Sigefrid so much he rose from his seat, slammed his fist into the table and bellowed out Lady Freja may we speak in private.
Freja turned and looked at Sigefrid and with a loud angry voice said whatever you have to say to me Lord you can say in front of your men.
No screamed Sigefrid this needs to be said in private, Erik could see his brother was getting frustrated.
Well then Lord if you won't see it in front of your men then maybe we have nothing to say to each, and we should just get on with our day said Freja
Now if you don't mind Lords I shall take my leave and go for a walk along the river Dagfinn would you like to accompany me.
Why yes Lady and with that Lady Freja and Dagfinn left the hall.
Brother are you okay said Erik.
No brother I no longer have an appetite I think I'll retire to my chambers and then go on a raid I need to get rid of this anger by killing some poxy Saxons, and with that Sigefrid stomped of to his chambers like a little child.
