Ivar's POV

She shuts the window on my face but I have captured those chocolate brown eyes  looking into mine. She is a breadth-taking woman but I don't want to fall in love, It would make me weak and weakness is lethal for a warrior, it can be exploited by the enemies.

I look away and walk to my chamber, which is the late king's Darrell's chamber. Hvitserk, I and Ubbe had a long conversation about who will take the king's chamber in this palace and like always 

I won

The guards open the door and near my bed, I see a naked woman standing blindfolded with an apple in her mouth and her hands and feet tied. It has to be one of the Hvitserk's gift for me.

I smirk and sit on my bed, these are boots are way too tight. I open the left boot while she stands silently. Then I look at her, and I walk towards her, she shivers. I take the apple from her mouth with my mouth and sit on the bed again to open my right boot as I raise my eyebrow to look at her body

She is shivering and shaking with fear, poor girl

"What's your name?" I ask while I loosen my right boot and keep it on the side. I sit on the edge of the bed with my hands on my knees as she is standing directly in front of my bed, near the fireplace

"Amelia" She says meekly

"Ahhh, Amelia don't be afraid" I say as I place my self comfortably on the bed

"Is Nova alive?" She shivers and ask

"How do you know the princess?" I ask curiously

"I am one of her ladies" She says and I stand up 

Wow, Interesting Information, I think to myself. If she is one of Nova's ladies maybe she could help me to accomplish what I want. She could get me closer to Nova, my mind oozes with strategies to tame the princess.

I stand up and open her blindfolds, she stares at me with her big green eyes and gives me an uncomfortable smile.

"Wear your clothes" I whisper in her ear and she nods

She grabs a torn yellow dress with red bow from the bed as I untie her hands and feet.

"Thank you Ivar, You are the God" She bows in front of me

"Not too soon" I tell her, "Sit down" I gesture her to sit on the floor as I sit on the bed leaning towards her

"Let's just say you and I make a deal" I say and she listens intently

"What Deal?" She mutters and looks frightened

"You work for me now, you get closer to Nova again and bring all the information about her to me and only do as I say" I say and look around the room hoping the walls don't hear us

"What do you want from Nova?" She gets a little angry

I take a small knife from my pocket and swing it around my fingers, I like playing with the knife when I think and it nearly scares the life out of her.
