One way: Marriage. Though Viggo wasn't proud, he's honestly also not above marrying the firstborn of the tribe's chief to gain access to centuries worth of documentation—handed down as heirlooms—about the King of Dragons, whom your people worship. Luckily, you're smart. All it took was the threat of burning down everything and everyone you love for you to accept his marriage proposal.

Viggo chewed on a piece of fish, nodding along to your father's talk. Responsiblity, commitment—as if the ten trials he had to complete prior to the wedding didn't already prove his worth. Your father truly loves you, he supposed, and Viggo had the play the role to gain what he wanted.

"Spoken like a truly enlightenend man." Viggo replied. Your father ate up every word that came from his silver tongue. "A common man doesn't understand responsiblity like you and I do. We both have things in common; I took over my father's legacy as nothing but a teenager, you're the chief of a tribe with historical significance.. and thriving, if I may say so. Say.. how do you do it? Such confidence, such near royalty, while worshipping the equal connection to your people?"

Your father's eyes shone at the question and he stammered briefly before starting his answer. Viggo noticed you roll your eyes at the boot-licking sweet-talk and wrapped an arm around you waist, tugging you closer, almost pulling you off the chair and pressing his lips to your temple, hiding a threat behind a loving gesture.
