The war between Iceland and England had been roaring on for 3 years. Beaches turned to battlefields, and towns turned to rubble. It seemed like neverending fight of power and cruelty
Your father, the king, reached out to the norse King, Oden. This fight had gone on long enough, and it was time to make peace. He sent out a messenger to make amends, but got returned only the boy's head. A gruesome statement of stubbornness. However, one day you woke to terrifying screams outside the castle. The king had made his way to your kingdom, and he was terrifying as ever.
You rushed out of your quarters in only your nightgown, begging him to not kill your father. But when his eyes set on you, he grinned with a dark expression that shook everyone in the room
"Ill end this war, under the condition you become my bride."
