Being with Ivar wasn't as bad as people thought. He's a funny and smart person, just misunderstood.

As a servant yourself, being his girlfriend gave you many advantages, for example, Queen Aslaug adores you, since she sees you as the protector of her youngest child. She loved her son dearly.

Actually, you are a warrior, but sometimes you offer to help at "palace" just to spend more time with him. He's always so eager to hear the new tales of your travels to the far Mercia, England and Northumbria and your fights, of course.

Today, you were walking to their house, when you saw him arguing with Sigurd, while Ubbe was trying to separate them. Hvtizerk came beside you, arm crossed, with a slight smirk

«Even if they are adults, they still have the mind of a child. I envy the patince you have to handle Ivar's temper and to ignore Sigurd's comments and attemps to steal you from Ivar.»

As you smiled, returning a laugh, just to sound educated, as, after all he's a prince, Ivar looked at you, and misunderstood totally. He thought you were laughing at him, so he simply crawled away. When you followed him, in his room, to have more privacy, he glared at you.

«Why are you following me? Just go laugh at me with my idiots brothers. After all, they're not weird cripples. They're strong, brave and good looking.» he barked, turning away, while you sat beside him on the floor, with a slightly confused expression, leaning against him, being clingy. He always melts when you do.
