Chapter 11.
Prince Canute pt1

"AS OF THIS MOMENT WE'RE HEADING TO RESCUE HIS HIGHNESS PRINCE CANUTE!"

"Hey Askeladd, do you really think Y/n and Thorfinn can pull this off...?" Bjorn asked with one brow raised in disbelief, his arms crossed over his chest as he watched some men pour water over Y/n and Thorfinn as they mounted their horses. 

"Oh c'mon, Thorfinn's a moron with no sense of fear and acts off of impulse. Y/n's calculated and a skilled fighter, the two are useful." Askeladd began with a smirk, both hands on his waist.  "Plus, if they do find themselves in a bind Y/n's smart, I'm sure Y/n can make up a solution on the spot." He added with a shrug of his shoulders. 

When Y/n mounted her horse she looked back at Askeladd and gave him a thumbs up. 

'Y/n will be able to do this.'

Y/n and Thorfinn pulled their cloaks over their heads before riding off into the fire to retrieve the prince. 

It wasn't hard for the pair to find the prince as one of Thorkell's men yelled out the new found location of the prince. Confronting the group of men, Y/n and Thorfinn jumped off of their horses. 

"Huh? Where'd these boys come from?" 

Thorfinn wasted no time after an axe was swung at him, swiftly taking the man down. While Thorfinn was busy taking down the other men who attacked him, Y/n removed her cloak and began to look around them for a man dressed in royal attire. 

Of course, the prince stood out like a sore thumb. 

"You must be prince Canute," Y/n took a half step towards the prince but stoped seeing as the bearded man standing in front of him put up an arm in front of him. "And you must be Ragnar." Y/n used her free hand and brought it up to her chest, "We're here to save you, we'll show you where to go--" 

"Thorfinn!!!" 

Thorkell. 

Y/n's eyes widened and she looked in the direction where she heard the deep and rough voice boom from. Her eyes landed on the giant man who wielded two axes and wore a big smile. The first thought that went through Y/n's mind was the fact that Thorkell was huge.

The giant was very intimidating, it seemed that with a simple flick to the forehead he could send her flying in the direction her horse ran off in. 

"So we meet again Thorfinn! I knew we would!" 

Thorkell's sudden appearance made everyone stop what they were doing and give him their full attention. 

"Captain!"

"Oh wait were you boys fighting against him? He's a tough one eh?" Thorkell questioned one of his men before showing off his maimed hand, "After all, Thorfinn is the one warrior who maimed me, don't let his size fool you or you'll regret it." 

Y/n cringed when Thorfinn got into a fighting stance, she knew that right now wasn't the time for Thorfinn and Thorkell to get into another fight. Without hesitation, Y/n stepped up and grabbed Thorfinn's wrist which broke his focus. 

Easing up from his stance he glanced back at Y/n who only shook her head. 

"Wait Thorfinn I have two questions."
