Chapter 338 Infighting?



Aslaug cussed Lagertha, she could not believe she had such control over Ragnar.

Her maiden tried her best to calm her down but Aslaug looked visibly distraught by what was happening.

Aslaug could not believe that a man existed that could refuse her, this has never happened before so why was it happening now? 

Aslaug knew her way to Ragnar would have to be through Lagetha. 

Little did she know that something far more important was going on, she tried to pick herself up because the commotion outside was getting in. 

She asked Eva to go and inspect what was going on because she was too lost in her own little thoughts. 

Eva returned and she looked rather terrified. 

"My lady, Tor is dead!" Eva said and Aslaug\'s heart dropped.

"A death? Here?" Aslaug asked, this should not be possible as she knew the possible repercussions of such a thing. 

"Get ready Eva, we leave now!" Aslaug commanded.

"We cannot leave my lady, a lockdown has been called…" Eva said but why did Aslaug fear staying here? A lockdown had no reason to cause such a panic. 

"You do not understand! We need to leave, that pig is here!" Aslaug said and this brought Eva into the fold. 

She realized what Aslaug was talking about. 

"He cannot be here…." Eva muttered as she realized why Aslaug was scared. 

Aslaug ran out of the house, she knew she was not safe and the fact that someone as high ranking as Tor could be killed destroyed the illusion that security was assured in here. 

This was why she hated men, they found a way to indulge in conflict wherever they were and it seems that even weddings were not off limits.

"Eva, find Ragnar Lothbrok! We might have a problem," Eva ran out the moment Aslaug said this, she has never seen her mistress this distressed. 

-

Ragnar just finished having sex with Lagertha and he needed time to recoup, this included eating.

Ragnar walked out to the ensuing commotion, but luckily, he found Bjorn Ironside. 

"Father, get back in!" Bjorn instructed his father but Ragnar wanted to find out what was happening.

"FATHER! GET BACK IN! NOW!" Bjorn shouted at his father, the urgency in his voice told Ragnar that whatever was happening outside had escalated. 

Ragnar did not know what was happening, but he trusted his son enough not to question it, at least not then. 

Ragnar soon heard obvious signs of fighting outside, he tried his best to see what was happening but he knew that it was something that was above his power.

Tor was dead and now fighting had broken out, Ragnar soon heard banging on his door. 

He looked around because he knew that if he attempted to open the door, whatever was behind that door would slip in.

"OPEN UP RAGNAR!" A voice called out but Ragnar was no fool. He was not scared but he had no intentions of actively putting his wife in danger. 

"Get lost, if you enter… Prepare for whatever consequences that come with it," Ragnar threatened but his tone was calm. 

This did not stop the threat behind the door, the room was broken into and in came four hefty men. 

They quickly surrounded Ragnar, but Ragnar did not look worried as long as they did not raise a finger in the direction of his wife. 

"Come with us, King Ragnar," A man said and Ragnar raised a brow, these men were not King and were in no position to even demand such from him. 

"What is the meaning of this?" Ragnar asked, Lagertha covered up and Ragnar could feel their eyes wander.

This was something he had no intention of tolerating, King Ragnar grabbed the man that was speaking by the neck.

"You do know who you are talking to, right?" Ragnar asked and the other men readied up, ready to fight but the man that Ragnar had by the throat instructed them to stand down. 

There was no way in hell they were going to defeat Ragnar, they would just incur injuries that could be avoided. 

"K-King Ragnar. Prince Tor is dead and I am afraid that fighting has erupted in the Kingdom. We are to take away all Kings on Rugalf\'s command." The man said and Ragnar raised a brow. 

How long was it out? King Rugalf was requesting the arrest of all Kings. Is that why Bjorn shouted for him to stay back?

"And why did he not send one of his brothers? Why would he send a warrior of your rank to take me to him?" Ragnar asked, this was a very good question considering that he was not a random King but one that had just joined but Ragnar did not need to say another word because his question was answered.

Grjötgard walked into the room, Ragnar knew at that moment that this order was truly from Rugalf. 

"King Ragnar, we do not mean any disrespect but there has been a recent development…" Grjötgard said and this has Ragnar\'s interest. 

"What happened?" Ragnar asked right away. 

"We found a bloodied weapon, someone killed the guards guarding it and took the weapon. We believe that is the same weapon that killed Tor," Grjötgard responded sternly but this was not convincing. 

They had already locked the place down and this sounded a bit excessive.

"Let me speak to King Rugalf," Ragnar requested but Grjötgard abruptly turned him down. 

"King Ragnar, I could take you by force or you may come peacefully," Grjötgard said and Ragnar looked back at Lagertha like he was seeking her permission to engage in violence.

Lagertha heaved a sigh before looking away, this was her way of giving Ragnar her permission and Ragnar had every intention of fighting his way through because something told him that this was not Kihg Rugalf\'s order.

-

Tyr noticed the uproar and it was from the Viking of Ranrike, this was strange because they were calm moments ago

They all had weapons and were taking prisoners, killing those that resisted. 

They found a murder weapon but this weapon belonged to someone familiar to Tyr.

It belonged to someone from the Kingdom of Orkdalen, it had the insignia and the only person missing was Ludvig. 

People began to suspect that Ludvig was responsible for this killing as everything seemed to point at him. 

He was missing at such a convenient time and a weapon belonging to them had been found bloodied and discarded elsewhere. 

But this was not the only thing, there was a trail that implied that whoever did this had left Rogaland.

But the possibility that the attacker grabbed a random weapon that happened to belong to that Kingdom also excited hence why they did not go straight for King Gryting\'s head. 

They were rounding up every high-ranking individual because they could not risk a King falling in Rogaland. 

That would cause something that is beyond the control of everyone, war would most likely be the outcome. 

A prince could fall but it would not incur the same consequences as a King and the most eerie part of this all was that there was a witness ready to testify.

He was injured and barely survived whoever attacked him. 

"Tyr!" Bjorn called out, he was somewhat out of breath but he also looked exhausted.

"What is it?" Tyr asked and Bjorn Immediately pointed behind him, Tyr saw people with weapons approaching.

"How did this get so bad?" Tyr thought; his first day as a married man was proving to be a very stressful one but there should not be any problems if they just surrendered right? That was wrong. 

Rugalf might have ordered this but this was against their laws, they had no right to retain Kings even if something as dire as this happened. 

Naturally, there were a few that opposed them but they also were some that supported them and such an action might cause friction.

"Bjorn, where is Father?" Tyr asked, he knew that King Ragnar will be a target as he held such a high importance between both Kingdoms.

On one side, he was the Father-in-law of Estrid and on the other side, one of the most powerful Kings.

The enemies will want to take care of him first and allies would want to secure him.

"I do not know but I fear he might be in danger…" Bjorn said. Tyr knew something was not right, he knew that someone must have influenced King Tryggve to take up arms because there was no need for something so drastic considering that Rugalf had it handled.

"Do you think Askild had a hand in this?" Tyr asked Bjorn but Bjorn doubted, putting Ragnar in danger benefited no one. 

King Askild might be someone that Tyr hated but Tyr also knew what he was capable of but he would never do anything that would not benefit. 

Tyr did not see how this would benefit him as it had the potential to even ruin the expedition he had planned in less than two weeks.
