Can love really transform you into Better or worse?
{Worth binge reading}
Will Ivar, the ruthless handsome Viking fall in love with Nova, a French princess who is polar opposite to him? A historical fiction based on the year of 1000 AD, this story...
Our carriage makes way as the gravel and stones under the wheels twist and turn.
England feels different, it feels more beautiful. Probably because I yearned to leave that French castle where memories and miseries haunts me
"Mommie, are wie goin to sea Daaddy?" Alfie asks interrupting my childlike enthusiasm of watching the landscape from my carriage's window
"No Alfie, daddy is in heaven I told you right?" I say to Alfie as he frowns
For two years straight I cried myself to sleep over Ivar. The intensity of pain paralysed me, I came up with a reasoning that he is dead, at-least for me. I often wonder if he thinks about me but that sure is unfruitful.
"Wat place iz dizzz?" Alfie says as he turns his cute little head to look outside
"England and Alfie, you will behave. They don't like naughty children in England. Understood?" I say as I wipe his mouth with a napkin
*WE HAVE ARRIVED YOUR MAJESTY* Announces the Guard
As Nova steps out of carriage, little Alfie follows her from behind
"Ahh... Queen of France we welcome you" Judith, the mother of King Alfred bows down
"It's my pleasure" Nova smiles
"To the Great Hall.. Shall we?"Judith gestures Nova to accompany her
*In the Great Hall*
"King Alfred is a busy man you see, he will be here soon" Judith says as she sips her tea while Nova just stares at her's
"I can understand that" Nova says
"Let's address the elephant in the room, you are a pagan. what are you doing here? I will never let you marry my son!" Judith slams her cup on the table
Nova looks at her in utter disgust
"I am not a pagan but I was married to one! And you'll be glad to know that I am not here to seek a marriage alliance but rather a strategic one" Nova stands up and looks Judith in the eye
"Bullshit, why do you seek a strategic alliance?" Judith bangs her fist on the table
"To defeat the Northmen, to defeat Ivar" Nova says with revenge taking over her whole body
Judith bursts out laughing
Nova stands there stunned and humiliated
"You mean to say you want to defeat your own husband after you squeeze out his pagan child and he leaves you. Goddamnit!" Judith says
