Ragnar's face dropped the moment he heard what came out of Lagertha's mouth, his hands trembled and his killing intent intensified. Lagertha had never seen him like this, no one has.

pǎпdǎ Йᴏνê1,сòМ Rugalf subconsciously gulped, the atmosphere was that intense.

"King Ragnar, I brought you here to uncover all the lies of Askild and his watchdog, Erik," Birger blurted out, he had found the emotional trigger he was looking and it was surprisingly brought forth by Lagertha.

Now, Birger had something to work on, like a parasite, he latched onto this opportunity given to him by Lagertha.

"Where is he?" Ragnar asked coldly, BIrger was concerned because he knew what would happen if Ragnar saw him in his current state, Erik would not survive.

Ragnar was shaking with rage, gritting his teeth with his eyes becoming bloodshot.

Birger instinctively took a step back, Ragnar was setting off all his alarms and his body was responding to them subconsciously but just then, the throne room opened.

"FATHER!" Bjorn and Tyr called out in unison, and Ragnar's darkening heart cracked the moment he heard the voices of his children. This was Bjorn's first time seeing his mother and he could not believe the bloodied mess she was in.

Rugalf had seen the children of Ragnar and they in no way looked weak, this only made him want to join their houses all the more.

Ragnar noticed the state both his children were in, and he flashed Birger a glare.

"They are warriors, King Ragnar. You cannot be angry that they have got a few scratches on them," Birger said but Ragnar did not say a word.

" Tyr and Bjorn, how are you two still alive with wounds like that? Are you sure you are my children or you two were swapped too?" Ragnar said with a serious face, grabbing the hilt of his blade as he began walking towards it, prompting everyone to wonder what he was doing.

But Ragnar suddenly started running towards them like an abnormal titan.

The guards surrounding both Bjorn and Tyr backed up, and Ragnar unsheathed his blade and swung it to decapitate his children.

"K-King Ragnar!" Rugalf called, the only thing he had shown interest in since coming here was this action from Ragnar, had he finally gone mad?

Tyr halted his swing mere inches from their necks and his children had not even flinched, nor blinked, they knew their father would not hurt them and even if he did, then it would be a worthy death.

"Hahaha! There is no mistaking it! You are my children!" Ragnar laughed off his joke but he was not the only one that found it funny. Both Tyr and Bjorn laughed with their father.

Rugalf was second-guessing his decision to marry into their family because this was a twisted joke.

"You two sure have grown to be strong warriors," Ragnar rubbed both their heads, Birger permitted it as a show of good fate to Ragnar, he had no intentions of angering Ragnar further.

A knock on the throne room's door could be heard and the one responsible for that knock informed Birger that they had brought "him", this was vague and not descriptive for reasons best known to Birger.

BIrger walked down the throne, he had unbound Lagertha for her to reunite with her children properly, Rugalf found it strange that he went through all that trouble only to release Lagertha under such circumstances.

It was like he used Lagertha's capture to lure Ragnar, for what man would not come to the aid of his family?

Birger watched as Lagertha embraced her children as he walked past them and towards the door but before opening the door, he needed to confirm something.

"King Ragnar, from here on out, I want your word that you will behave like a person fit for your title." Birger waited for Ragnar's reassurance and Ragnar did just that, he had his family, and all he needed was Erik's head. Birger still had the upper hand as Ulf's whereabouts were unknown.

And then, the familiar creaking of the wooden door shutting the throne room was pushed open.

Ragnar could not believe his eyes, it was Erik The Berserker!

Ragnar walked outside, alongside every other person in the room, and a gathering of people was already waiting outside.

These were not warriors but civilians, it felt like a trial as Erik was bound to a metal pole, specifically constructed for this day.

Ragnar did not say a word, seats were prepared for the men of prominence.

Ragnar, Rugalf, Birger, and Lagertha all sat down, watching to see what Birger had in mind.

Around this time, Askild and Asger arrived; they were also granted seats for this hearing.

Everyone was confused, they had no idea what BIrger had in mind but they were all about to find out. Birger got up his feet as he walked a few steps forward.

Every single thing Birger did was for his moment, and he had a satisfied smile across his face.

"Hahahaha! Fear the fury of a patient man, I have waited for this day ever since I was exiled from Kattegat…." Birger said, looking at a fuming Asger.

".... Ever since I was falsely accused of raping and killing your wife, Asger," Birger finished his sentence, Asger remained calm on the outside but he raged on the inside.

"Asger… The man responsible for the crimes pinned against me is that man, Erik The Berserker," Birger said.

"You are lying, Do not mistake me for a fool!" Asger finally exploded after years of pent-up rage.

"I have been biting my tongue because of my respect for King Askild but if you want to throw dirt on my wife's name then I will strike you down right now!" Asger said but Ragnar grabbed his arm.

"You are in the presence of Kings, control yourself," Ragnar said, the coldness in Ragnar's voice and his trembling hands told Asger that Ragnar felt the same way as he did.

"Asger, the man you swore your loyalty to is right beside you, or do I lie usurper?" Birger asked. Asger initially dismissed this but Askild didn't look shocked or unmoved by this accusation.

"Hahaha!" Erik began laughing hysterically, this drew everyone's attention to the madman.

"YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!? I WILL TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED!" Erik screamed, devoid of remorse.
