Roses and Wine (I)

Start from the beginning
                                    

*Some closes Ivar eyes from the back with her hands and kisses his cheek*

"Nova?" Ivar smiles and touches the female's hand

"I can be" the voice replies and Ivar immediately knows whose voice it is, It's Amelia

Ivar jumps and stands up only to see Amelia standing naked in front of him, she smiles and comes closer to Ivar.

"What is going on, why are you naked?" Ivar questions Amelia, as he takes a good look at her body

"Don't tell me you don't want this, I wanted you to fuck my brains out since that day in your chambers, but you didn't" Amelia goes to Ivar's bed and lies down

"MMMhhhhh... so what do we say, can I satisfy you?" she says and opens her legs

Ivar scoffs, "As much as I would like that, No"

"Please just one time, I swear I will make it worth it" Amelia teases

"You really don't understand the gravity of the situation, you whore. You are Nova's best friend, her lady. What makes you think I would fuck the best friend of my future wife?!" Ivar gets angry

"I can be your mistress, as it is Nova doesn't care about you. She told me, about Andrew. Andrew is the only one she talks about! She said she would rather die than marry you!" Amelia starts sobbing

Ivar is infuriated and slaps Amelia, then takes her hand and throws her on the floor

"You are lying, you good for nothing whore!" Ivar begins to leave but Amelia catches his foot and begs while crawling

"No Ivar, my God. Please trust me, she plans to run away with Andrew tonight, you have to believe me!" Amelia clings on Ivar boot as he tries to leave

"I love you Ivar, Don't you see it?"

Nova's POV

"This red dress fits well" I say as Torvi smirks, "I thought it would be loose, since I have lost weight due to the constant stress in my life, after I lost everyone I knew"

"Today you will find someone you will know for the rest of your life" Torvi says as she brings the rubies set which matches my dress, blood red.

"I hope I find someone great, who can love me well" I say as I look down at my dress gently in the mirror and then my eyes as Amelia's words echo in my mind. I have to find a husband today or-else Ivar might harm me, I was such a fool to even kiss him.

"You so look beautiful, anyone would be lucky to have you" Torvi says and gives me a comforting hug and I squeeze her tighter, she is my comfort in midst of chaos

With my Red Lips and Red Dress, I am ready to find a man. Torvi and I leave the chamber to meet the guests downstairs.

Ivar's POV

She comes down the grand staircase and every man's eyes is glued to her. I feel fangs of jealously as the men ogle at my woman. She look as me and she looks confused, she walks to me and time stops. It feels like a goddess has descended the earth and the way her body moves like thin air, I am spellbound

"Are you even listening?" she swats my arm and I come back to reality, she smells like roses and Allfather knows, I can't wait to marry her.

"What?" I ask in state of complete sedation

"What are you doing her? If they find out..." she peaks from between her teeth, scared that someone may find out who I am.

A pagan between catholics? They will run for their life!!!

"I, MY LADY AM THE EARL OF BONNET. IT IS MY PLEASURE TO MEET YOU" I kneel before Nova and I kiss her hand, she seems startled but plays her part in the game.

The crowd seems to be enjoying the music, little did they know what's about to happen next. As the men introduce their sons to Nova, Hvitserk stands next to me, we all are in disguise.

"I have placed our men in royal guards clothes all around the castle, I hope they don't suspect anything" Hvitserk says as my eyes are glued to a blonde boy who is kissing Nova's hand.

"Don't worry" I say to Hvitserk, "These cunts are sure to die. Where is Ubbe?" I ask

"He is keeping a close eye on all the entrances and exits, We have less than 1 hour to finish our mission. Ready?" Hvitserk says I nod

Nova's POV

As everyone sits around the table, we begin to eat the appetizers. The red haired man that I liked, winks at me before taking a sip from his wine.

"Well Gentlemen, I am glad that you all came today with your handsome boys for a marriage proposal, and I am happy to inform you that I have found my husband" I raise the glass and everyone raises the glass too, "CHEERS!" I say and the men repeat.

I really admired Emett Hue, who is the son of a catholic hardliner. He is interesting and witty, I am sure he could provide me with a good life I smile as I eat and so does everyone. I am glad I cannot see Ivar anywhere, it would be hard to find a husband when he is around me

*A man looks at Nova and his eyes turns red and foam starts coming out from his mouth*

*Foam and blood starts coming out of people's mouth and they start to fall on the ground*

"What is going on?!" I scream as I look at people collapsing in front of me, no viking is in the room and there are no guards there too. Christ!

People starts screaming and running but eventually collapsing

POISON!! THE FOOD IS POISONED!

I hear screams as I sit mute and stare at my plate and watch people falls to the ground and gasp for air.

Emett Hue collapses on the table with blood coming out from his mouth
