He leads you away from Bjorn and to a tree on the other side of the opening where the brothers and you train.
"We can't keep hiding what we have. You need to pick one of us." Ivar speaks rather quickly and you look at him surprised.
"Why are you doing this right now Ivar?" You ask a little annoyed at his act of urgency over something like this.
"You can't tell me you weren't aware of him asking for your hand today? The neediness for your father to find you and that stupid look on Bjorns face." He mutters out and you look over at Bjorn who is watching you and then back at Ivar, his eyes full of care.
"I...okay." You stammer and make your way over to Bjorn, your heart pounding. You knew if you said no to Bjorn then your father would go crazy, but if you said no to Ivar would you be totally happy.
"Bjorn, can I speak to you for a moment?" You ask softly and he looks at you concerned before nodding. Ivar follows behind you and listens as the the two of you speak.
"I am in love with you Bjorn, but you aren't the only one who holds my heart." You muster out as you look up into his eyes.
"You're in love with Ivar? I...I suppose I can't really be surprised. You've spent every spare moment with him since you two first met." He starts, sighing as he looks between the two of you, "If he is who you want to be with then I support you, but you should know your father had expected me to propose and should be here any-" he tries to finish before a voice booms over his own.
"Bjorn! Have you done it!" You father beams before noticing the extra person who wasn't supposed to be there, "why is Ivar here?" He immediately spits out as he finally stands in front of the three of you.
"Here he is, the voice of reason." Ivar spits at the man, his anger from earlier coming back.

"What was that boy?" He snaps at Ivar and you look over at Bjorn who quickly steps between the two.
"Ingmar, there is no reason to start with Ivar. We have news for you about the marriage." Bjorn speaks quickly, not giving your father time to speak.
"Y/n and I are great friends, and intend to remain that way but her feelings are not strong enough to be with me. She wishes to be with Ivar and I am okay with that." He calmly speaks and your fathers face twists into anger.
"This crippled bastard took the only good thing my daughter had! I will pull him limb from limb." He shouts at Bjorn and Ivar chuckles as he stands next to you.
"That's a large threat coming from a man in a small position, wouldn't you say y/n?" Ivar remarks and Bjorn rolls his eyes.
"This is no time to be mocking one another. If you intend on killing a prince of Kattegat you and your family will be banished. Y/n will stay here with Ivar though, as wife to a prince." He argues with your father and earns a surprised look from both you and Ivar.
"You're okay with this y/n? You want me and your mother sent away simply because you cannot marry a sane man. Then that's what will happen. If we ever find either of you without the protection of Kattegat around you, then you're dead." He spits before turning around and walking back home.
You feel tears fill your eyes as you look down at your feet. A single arm pulls you towards a body and wraps around you tightly.
"It will be okay min mus." Ivar reassures you as he plants a kiss on your forehead. Quickly looking up at Bjorn and giving him a thankful look. (My mouse.)
You close your eyes and let Ivar hold you before you pull away from him and turn to give Bjorn a hug, "thank you Bjorn. This means a lot that you are okay with this." You speak thankfully to him before you press a kiss to his cheek and turn back to Ivar and wrap your hand over the one he had on his crutch.
You both walk away from Bjorn, leaving him to his thoughts as you head back to the main hall. As you walk a small thought pops into your head though.
"Are you going to ask me to be your wife Ivar?" You ask as you look at him and he stood to look over at you.
"Me?" He pretends to sound confused as you look back at him nervous, thinking you had asked too soon.

"Of course I will. You are the woman I love and no one will take you from me." He smiles warmly before giving you a soft kiss on the lips.
"Now, lets go celebrate our new future together." He starts before continuing with a statement that makes you blush, "And I'll make sure you all of Kattegat knows who you're truly in love with tonight.
