The surprise that he has a secret admirer surprises him a little at first but then scares him a little more, he already has enough problems with his family to add a secret admirer, but that does not prevent him from responding to your letters, each one with more sincerity and confidence than the other, he is even surprised himself to write such loving and cloying words, he did not think he was capable of it, it was just a side that he took out with you, so he could not be nervous when the day came to meet you.

—"I'm starting to get fed up"

He says, on his horse in the middle of a clear expanse of land, his hand instinctively travels to the handle of his sword, he begins to think that maybe it was silly to come, that it is a trap to annihilate him, and that coming in the middle of the rain was a bad idea, he is about to leave when he hears the gallop of a horse approaching, he prepares for the attack but when he sees you, his expression says more than his words, you?, by god he would even expect it was Ragnar Lothbrok who was playing a joke on him, but you?, that certainly took him by surprise.

—"You are the last person I expected"

There is no point hiding it, he looks at you with surprise still, he quickly recomposes himself and smiles somewhat nervously, he certainly felt something stupid but on the other hand, it is a pleasant surprise, with the reins he makes his horse come a little closer to yours to stay by your side, a smug smile is placed on his face to hide his nerves.

—"I guess you didn't bring me here just to say that I'm handsome, did you?"
