Yidu was outside working before hearing ragnar walked out, she turned her head to him confused and scared, yidu walked to him, ragnar playfully closed the pen on her she looked up at him before he opened it, he then close the pen lock and grabbed yidu by the arm dragging her, he threw her to the wall placing an arm besides her

"Tell me how you become a slave i know you weren't born into it, because you are clearly very not good at it"

Yidu's eyed filled with tears

"I was sailing with members of my family pirates came aboard slaughtered some of us, and others they kept for sale they separated me from my brothers and they..."

Yidu hesitate looking down, Ragnar placed his head down slightly to look at her eyes

"Raped you?"

"No"

Ragnar grabbed by the throat pushing her to the wooden wall, yidu held his hand looking at him

"They did not dare to rape me"

"Why did they not dare to rape you?"

Ragnar asked looking at her, yidu was quiet for a few seconds before speaking

"They took me to a long journey for days and weeks and afterwards they sold me to the franks"

Ragnar's hand went away from her throat as he listened to her

"And now i am here i am here wherever "here" is. . . And it's so long since i knew where i was or where i belonged, I supposed it's stupid for a slave to worry over such things a slave does not really exist"

A tear roll down her cheek as she continued to stare at ragnar, Ragnar pulled away and grab a cloth putting on her

"I want to show you something"

Despite wanting to go back she obeyed and followed him, once yidu entered ragnar slammed the door shut yidu looked behind her looking at ragnar scared on what he would do next, ragnar walked past her and tried to light up some woods

"What is this place?"

Yidu asked looking at ragnar

"Mine"

Fire then appear in the wood warming the whole room up

"Although no one else has even been here, It is the only place i don't feel alone"

Yidu walked over to a snake as ragnar took off a piece of wood from a window

"If you want you may come or go as you please"

"How is that possible?"

She turned to him waiting for an answer

"I am king everything is possible"

"And what about my duties as a slave?"

She looked at him

"They are no longer wanted you are an awful slave, I am dismissing your service"

Ragnar fed the bird in a cage while looking at her

"Is it true?"

"Yes. You are a useless slave"

"No! That i can come and go as I please?"

Ragnar looked at her as she walked towards him

"Only if you desire to if you want you can walk away right now"

He offered to the slave, someone knocked onto the door at floki's house, Frigg looked at helga nervously, Helga walked to the door opening it

"Helga"

"And floki i know he is clever, I want you to teach him the way of our gods teach ivar and adeline the true path, teach him to hate the christian god as you hate the christian god!"

"Mother mother!"

Hvitserk ran towards aslaug

"A stranger has come"

"A stranger?"

Freyja nodded looking at aslaug before turning to the entrance, Aslaug stood up holding the two children close

A group of men walked in looking at the woman and the children, a man in the center placed his hand on his chest bowing a bit

"Queen aslaug allow me to introduce myself my name is harald but uh my people call me king finehair"

"A king? Then you are most welcome to our heart and home come and warm yourself up"
