Breakfast was silent... At least for Lucille, she ate silently as she held her newborn son, who was cooing in her arms half of the table watching Ivar get fed by Margarethe except for the twins, who were busy eating their food

"She's my special servant now"

Lucille heard as she was zoned off by the staring at her son, Ubbe nodded before grabbing Maizarine by the waist forcing her to sit her down on his lap

"Then she is my special servant now"

Ubbe said, as he smug Ivar clenched his jaw turning to his mother

"Mother..."

Aslaug looked at Ivar, turning to Ubbe who was smiling at her, not letting Maizarine go as he held her by the waist, Maizarine looked uncomfortable as she tried to get out of his grip

"Tell them to stop tormenting me"

"It makes me so happy you are with a woman"

Diantha looked at her mom, by the side of her eye eating her food with huge bites

"The rest of you should be married"

Sigurd turned to Lucille, smiling as she passed their son to him

"Ubbe you should have children, and so do you Diantha"

Diantha turned to her mother disgusted, as she continued eating

"I probably already have"

Hvitserk and Dorian laughed,  as Diantha slapped the food thrown at her

"Just because you are the children of the king, does not mean you can be irresponsible"

Aslaug turned to Diantha, who raised her eyebrow wondering what she had done this time

"And you should start, having a man to court"

"I would rather, get onto my armor and go to battle with Arman"

Ubbe snickered, as Diantha smiled sarcastically at her mother

"What I mean is, you can have as much as many women as you can have, but you need one to breed with"

Ivar turned to Lucille, who sat in the chair listening to the conversation as Dorian smiled cheekily

"So you don't believe in love?"

"I didn't say that"

Aslaug replied as Lucille grabbed their son from Sigurd watching

"So you loved Ragnar when you married him? And he loved... You?"

"Of course I loved him!"

"Some say you bewitched him"

"Sigurd"

Lucille pleaded, holding Sigurd's hand as she stared at Hvitserk, scared of what would happen next

"What is wrong with you?"

Ivar asked, as Lucille turned to Ivar

"Nothing wrong with me, I just want to know if she ever loved anyone except Harbard"

Diantha pulled the spoon away, turning to Aslaug slowly as so did Dorian

"Who is Harbard-"

Aslaug tried to touch Diantha's shoulder, but she pulled away in shock

"Of course, she has loved someone else, she has always loved... Me?"

Ivar said, making Diantha turn to him
