Nova's POV

"A whore?" Torvi asks and looks at me with utter amusement

"By whore of Toulouse, I meant my cousin from Toulouse" I speak with shaky voice

Both Astrid and Torvi burst out laughing

"This is not a hilarious joke! She has wrecked many families" I say as I turn around to look at Torvi and Astrid who are trying their best to hide their laughter

"I mean it! She is the most ungodly woman I know and she will be here next week for a visit. Oh, Good lord" I say as I sit and bury my face in my hands

"She cannot be that bad, what are you afraid of?" Torvi says as it starts pouring outside and the beautiful clear day turns into a dark gloomy night

"I have a bad feeling about this, lord knows why" I say defeated

*A guard enters the room*

The guard bows down and says "King Ivar, demands your presence in the war room" 

"I'll be there" I say as I lift my head up and look at Torvi and Astrid who are quiet now 

"I'll be back and then we shall pick outfits for my cousin's visit" I say and both of them nod

I feel a pang of excitement in my heart as I leave the chambers to see Ivar

Narrator's POV

Ivar sits on the long rectangle table with his men including Hvitserk and Floki, as the men brainstrom about their military startegies

*Nova enters*

"Ahhh.. there you are" Ivar says as he looks at Nova who looks intimidated by the viking men in the room

"You asked for me?" Nova mutters

"Oh Yes, I did" Ivar says and stands up with some letters in his hands and walks toward Nova

"When did you write these?" Ivar says as he mockingly waves the letters in the air

"Leave us" Nova says to the men

"No, stay" Ivar commands

The tension in the room rises up as Ivar and Nova lock eyes and horns

"You thought I wouldn't find out?" Ivar throws the letters to the ground

"Ivar we can discuss these matters in private..." As Nova says Ivar interrupts

"YOU SAY WHATEVER YOU WANT TO SAY RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW" Ivar howls in anger as his voices shakes Nova to the core

"Ivar..." Nova says as her voice cracks, the whole room is watching the drama unfold between Nova and Ivar

"YOU WROTE LETTERS TO YOUR 'DEAR FRIEND' AMELIA ASKING FOR HELP AND SENDING MONEY TO YOUR YOUNGER BROTHER ERIC!!" Ivar screeches

"YOU WROTE LETTERS TO YOUR 'DEAR FRIEND' AMELIA ASKING FOR HELP AND SENDING MONEY TO YOUR YOUNGER BROTHER ERIC!!" Ivar screeches
