Chapter 5: gain trust
Freya was startled to see the situation get out of control in less than a few seconds. Her father first brings her fiancé whom she didn't know anything about to visit her. So the boy simply takes action and takes Finn to play, taking advantage of his brother's innocence.
Freya had no choice if she didn't follow the boy who was talking and playing with her little brother.
She had no choice but to approach the boy who was playing with her brother, and when the other children from the village showed up to play. Freya felt a little nervous, she knew that a lot of children playing were a keg of gunpowder that would sometimes explode and annoy someone.
As she thought, it happened, one of the kids bumped into an angry man with a purple face and one eye closed as if he'd been caught too much.
"A Viking" Freya lamented the moment she understood what that man was.
Without thinking twice when seeing all the people who were around they turned their faces and some even grimaced in pain. Freya ran towards the Viking with all her courage. Since no one was going to save those kids. Freya understood them, they realized that possibly that Viking would use the children as a way to alleviate their anger, and they didn't have the strength or courage to do something about it.
"Sir, I'm sorry, please don't hurt these kids" Freya begged in front of the Viking causing his voice to get very weak, so as not to irritate the man
unfortunately for her, the tactic didn't work, and the man looked at her with contempt.
"Are you Jarl's daughter?... I see...you let your arrogance go to your head thinking that your position as the chief's daughter saw you help" The Viking growled aggressively and put his hand on Freya's neck forcing her to look him in the eye"you're pretty... I'm sure your dad won't mind if I teach you a lesson"
Freya widened her eyes and flinched at the man's words. She felt the man's hand squeezing her neck tighter making her start to lose her breath, she let tears fall from her eyes when she saw the man's hand came close to her chest
She knew what would happen, he would fuck her there in front of everyone to punish her and use her as an example for anyone who wants to go against the Vikings in the future
"Someone save me" Freya whimpered in a cry for help, "call my dad"
That was her only way out, her father, despite being a brute and violent. Care about her enough to get out of the way to save her
Not to mention that it could be used by him as an exchange after the wedding
but, she saw that her appeal would not be heeded because all the people in the place turned her face away pretending not to see what was going on
the only person who took action was Finn who took a wooden sword he was playing with before and, trembling with fear, he started running towards the man
"Finn doesn't come" She cried once more when she saw her brother approaching her holding a wooden sword
Her brother would die if he didn't stop himself, she didn't think her father would care about Finn. He never gave a shit about Finn and if Finn was killed it would be less of a problem for Mikael
"Sister" Finn whimpered and tried to advance towards the man. But, he was held on the shoulder by a hand. Which gave a feeling of relief in Freya
"Finn, please go call your father" The boy that Freya's father brought home spoke with a calm and cold voice, calming Finn. Despite being calm, the boy's voice sounded like thunder that left everything around quiet, "I'll take care of everything here"
Freya upon hearing the boy's voice felt the Viking's hand that was squeezing her neck loosen and without noticing she fell to the ground
"You... are the berserk" The man stuttered and took a false step when speaking the boy's name, "what... do you want?"
Freya heard the fear in the man's voice. She squeezed her neck, feeling the pain in her throat, and then recovered enough to see the boy approaching, releasing Finn and see the little boy running towards his father's house.
Freya saw the man who a little while ago was arrogantly squeezing her neck and terrorizing the entire village around him taking steps backward full of fear and sweating cold
Freya then looked once more at the boy and saw those cruel red eyes looking at the Viking as if he were nothing more than a cockroach which the boy would crush
"You threatened my fiancée and scared my brother-in-law" The red-eyed boy spoke and raised the wooden sword pointing towards the Viking "you will die for this"
Freya saw that aura around the boy and for a second, saw a white-haired woman hugging him while smiling and behind the boy, she saw something different the moon with two red eyes in spirals staring at her fiercely
"*cough*" She coughs when she feels powerful energy entering her"blood?"
Freya was startled to see the blood fall on her hand when she put it in her mouth to stop her cough
While she was completely immersed in her fear of coughing up blood without knowing why. Freya can only hear a loud noise of something being crushed
"What?" Freya screamed in surprise and came back to reality when startled by the noise.
She was startled and looked towards the crowd, that looked scared and even a little nauseous. She, not understanding anything, focused her gaze on the closest person and followed that person's gaze
Following the person's eyes, she looked to her side a few hundred yards from her body and saw something she never imagined seeing a wooden sword cut through the body of a grown man separating it in two making the blood spurt
Freya focused on the hands that were holding the sword saw the boy who was her fiancé full of blood and for a second the sword glowing with blue lines all over the wooden sword
"he protected me from the blood" Freya wondered when she saw the blood gushing from the corpse split in two and the boy's body, not Ragnar, bathed in blood
"Cough" Ragnar quickly lowered himself to the ground and started coughing madly as if he had been choking on something.
Freya could see the blood pouring from his mouth, not the blood from the Viking's body, Ragnar was vomiting blood
"Ragnar" Freya ran towards Ragnar with all her speed and desperation and hugged him from behind and asked worriedly "are you alright?"
"Ha, ha, ha, You called me by the name I come forward" Ragnar whispered for a second and relaxed his body "we can stay like this for a while longer, my body isn't right now, I don't think I'll get up on my own, and it would be bad." if the Vikings see me weak since I've given them a big beating"
"You silly" Freya softened her eyes and hugged him tighter "very well, I'll play the role of the loving princess who gives love to the hero, just this once"
"yes" Ragnar whispered and let himself lie on Freya's lap, "give me a little affection"
"Don't go overboard" She warned while giving him a light slap on the forehead, "how long will it take for you to get well?"
"About 15 minutes," Ragnar said calmly "and about 12 years of working life are gone"
"What?" Freya asked
"nothing" Ragnar replied

*whiplash*
"*pain*" Esther cried as she received another lash on her back
"I told you not to use magic you bitch, but you didn't listen to me" Mikael yelled angrily
*Whipping*
"*Pain* but Mikael, I just wanted to help you" Esther cried trying desperately to justify herself to stop being punished
her back was raw from so many lashes she took
"No matter your reason, I said no magic" Mikael shouted once more furiously and raised his hand swinging the whip once more
"Dad" Before he landed another lash on Esther, he heard Finn scream outside the cabin and let go of the whip.
"Slave, take care of my wife's wounds" Mikael growled at the slave who was in the corner watching terrified of the punishment Esther was receiving
"Yes sir" The slave squeaked softly and with a wooden bucket and a cloth walked to Esther to clean her wounds
"We're not done yet," Mikael growled and stormed out of the cabin.
Esther with what little strength she had left looked at her husband with eyes filled with pain and fear and nodded at him
she dared not speak a word, nor did she have the strength to do such a thing. Esther was physically and mentally tired from so much pain and injuries she had on her body.
She was about to pass out when she felt a flutter in the air. Which made her eyes widen in surprise
"Such magical power, once again this magical power." She muttered weakly before fainting
