"My father... does not love me." Prince Canute's voice rumbled everyone on court, right after Y/n has send them to their toes, this king like present began to make them fall as Thorkell look at him with interest.

"Give Y/n back to me after your men treated her wounds. If you will follow, then do so. We march to drag king Sweyn off his throne!"

Sitting on the horse, Canute rode in front of everyone as Y/n was still unconscious, so Thorkell being the biggest man here, was carrying her on his back. As Askeladd settled Bjorn down inside a tent, the two chatted like old friends as Bjorn panted from just the little exercise.

"How's your leg."

"...Took plenty of arrow in it. It'll take time to heal." Askeladd patted his thigh. "But it won't stop me from swinging my sword. After all, Y/n and Thorfinn are the ones who took the most damages."

"...I see. Then till tomorrow."

Askeladd looked at him and paused for a moment before turning away from Bjorn. "All right. Tomorrow."

"Thorkell, put Y/n to bed in the tent on the west. I'll send the medic there immediately after I settles the matter here."

"Yes sir." Thorkell laughed as he was about to walk away with Y/n on his back.

"Wait." Thorfinn spoke up and grabbed onto Thorkell's clothes. "I don't trust this man enough. Give her to me. I'll take care of her."

"Thorfinn." Canute spoke as he turned to him. "I have tasks for you that do not involve my personal protection soon. You may go and take Y/n from here. But come back immediately."

"Don't tell me what to do." Thorfinn said as Thorkell sighed and give Y/n's unconscious body that's wrapped in a blanket to him gently. "I don't recall swearing fealty to you."

"Forgive his insolence." Askeladd bowed. "I will see to it that the fool received his orders." Canute smiled at this as Thorfinn easily lifted Y/n's body up into his arms.

"We lose our friends... and father and son kill one another. And he chooses to sit on his throne and watch it all happen. It is unforgivable." Canute narrowed his eyes into a glare as he stare at the cross at the broke down church.

*Yawn* The voice broke the silence as everyone turned their attention to Y/n.

"Y/n!" Thorfinn whispered and yelled at the same time as Askeladd didn't move his gaze from the prince. The prince however also turned to her as Y/n rubbed her eyes. "How are you feeling?" Y/n tired to get down as Thorfinn noticed this and let her go.

"I'm ok now I think." Her voice was cracked, throat is really hurt as she shook her head.

"Ohhh. Thought you're gonna die any moment now little girl. Can't believe you can still walk." Thorkell leaned down as he look at her tired face.

"Yea all thanks to you old fart." Y/n backed away as she coughed out some blood.

"You're clearly not ok." Thorfinn scolded as Y/n shook her head.

"My legs are fine. I can walk on my own now. Just need some rest. Let's go where are we going this time Canute?" Y/n looked at the boy as prince sighed in relief.

"My father." He simply replied as she nodded her head.

"Let's go then."

"Twenty, I'd say." Thorfinn whispered as Y/n coughed. "Above us, too. Archers. An ambush. It would seem his majesty senses our plot."

Y/n look around as Thorfinn pulled her back a little. Right now Y/n's in no condition to fight, all three of them knew and they themselves are stuck in the same boat.

"I can... I think I can beat another 10." Y/n says as Askeladd hold onto her shoulder.

"You can't fight anymore. Leave it to us."

"What is the matter?" The king leaned on his elbow. "Come closer."

"No matter what... you must not draw your swords." Canute said as he glared at his father while taking a step closer. "In this sort of fight.... He who draws first loses."

Slowly the four of them walked into the room as Thorfinn clenched harder onto Y/n's arm. He nearly lost her once already. He's not going to lose her again.

-later-

As all the soldiers stood up from their position and pulled their bow, Thorfinn and Askeladd immediately covered Y/n as Askeladd put out his arm.

"Don't draw. His highness gave you an order." He said as Thorfinn tched and hold onto Y/n's hand tighter.
