(Currently listening to while writing this chapter - In my head by Peter Manos, because I think Nova's Image of Ivar shatters completely. That is why this song suits her mental state regarding Ivar)

Nova's POV

"It..was..all..a..plan" I mutter as I stare at my plate knowing that it is Ivar who did all this, maybe he has poisoned me too. Am I dying? I spit out the wine from my mouth and kneel on the ground as the chaos settles and there is calm in the room. Everyone is dead, suddenly the door opens and I see 6-7 vikings entering the hall and examining the dead, they slit the throat of anyone they assume is not completely dead I sit on the floor kneeling and gasping for air

"Amelia was right, he is a monster" I say while I feel numb, I need to run just anyhow , anywhere. I crawl out of the exit door and run through the empty lobby which is used by servants. My head is spinning and I feel dizzy, I am trying to make sense of what happened, I was a bait. He killed everyone and maybe he is trying to kill me. 

I run and run, in the dark hallway with the aim to run away to the woods before he can harm me.

Suddenly someone pulls me through the door and I fall on the person, It is pitch black and I am scared and I shiver in fear

"Shhhh..." the voice says as he covers my mouth and holds my waist tightly

Ivar's Camp

"Where is she?!" Ivar screams as he stands in the dinner hall as his eyes examines the room

"I asked where is the princess?!" Ivar screams as the vikings look at each other hoping to find some answers in each other's eyes

"When we came, she wasn't here" one of the viking who is wearing the french royal guard's uniform answers and looks around the room

"Where could she go?" Torvi's eyes widen as she looks at Ivar who is fuming

Ivar Fuming

"Search every inch of the castle and bring her BACK! NOW!" Ivar screams as his voice scares everyone in the room and the people run to find Nova in fear

"Who cares about the Princess?" Hvitserk says while seating himself on the table, "She is a catholic, let her die!" Hvitserk smirks

"You don't talk like that about her or I will cut that big tongue of your's and feed it to the dogs" Ivar's face shakes as he bellows in anger, "Find her and bring her to me, NOW!" Ivar howls
