Hedwig's POV
I stood by the dock with Idun for moral support. Sigtrygg and Helgi stood beside me, holding onto the skirt of my dress.
Ivar unloaded from the boat with our thralls, but he was pulling a dirty man behind him by a rope, he looked understandably frightened. I watched as Ivar handed the rope to a guard. Ivar approached us, Sigtrygg bounced up and down happily.
"Daddy!" Him and Helgi shouted with glee.
He smiled down at them and pat our son's head. When he looked at me his expression grew grim.
"We need to talk." He muttered in my ear.
"C-come on, children. Let's give mommy and daddy some alone time." Idun directed my kids back to the castle, I could hear them pouting all the way back.
I tried to hide my sorrow. "I-Ivar... I need to tell you something."
"No, I need to speak first." He replied sternly. I nodded my head. "Olaf has been telling people that he wants to bed Helgi once she bleeds."
I almost collapsed. Ivar caught my arms. I pressed my palms against his chest.
"I was hoping it wasn't true." I croaked. "I had a vision of him raping our daughter as a young woman. She was only twelve to thirteen years old."
"It won't happen, Hedwig. I promise you, I will kill him before he could touch her."
I nodded my head but I didn't believe a word. "Y-you should see our children, they will want to hear of your adventures. Just don't mention anything gruesome."
"I know the drill." He stated. "I love you, I want to show you how much I missed you after, okay?"
I nodded my head again. "Okay. I-I don't want to see Olaf at the feast."
"He won't be there, don't worry."
I sighed with relief. Ivar pressed his lips softly against mine and walked away to join our children. I followed closely behind.
Once he sat down, Helgi and Sigtrygg climbed all over his lap. They gave him big kisses and he told them how he slayed the bad guys.
Sigurd and Hvitserk joined and the kids were once again distracted.
Idun would be leaving tomorrow. It broke my heart that she'd be back in York. I wished she lived here. We could talk everyday and watch our children grow up together. Hopefully Helgi and Bragi would fall in love, she had been following him around for the whole week. He was growing annoyed of her.
I noticed the man entering the room with a slightly cleaner face. He looked at us with fear- especially Ivar, slight movements made him cower in fear.
"Ivar, who is that?" I asked pointing to the man.
"Oh," He lifted his horn up for a thrall to fill up. "That is our new thrall, my love. He will learn soon enough of his duties, Saoirse will be teaching him."
"He looks awful." I pointed out.
Ivar rolled his eyes. "Saoirse, get him cleaned up."
"Yes, King Ivar." She hastily took him into another room.
I looked back at my husband, who watched me closely as he drank from his horn. I knew what he wanted. He didn't have to say a word.
"Keep the kids occupied, daddy has to show mommy her gift." Ivar said standing up.
Hvitserk looked up and smirked. "Don't scream too much from your enjoyment."
I looked to Idun who was smirking playfully. "Enjoy your gift." She giggled.
