King Ragnar had returned home and spent the night with Lagertha but he refused her advances to have sex with him, which Lagertha found strange considering that they had not seen each other for such a long time.
She was worried but Ulf came to mind, surely he did not tell Ragnar about what he did?
Lagertha began to panic and slept beside her husband wondering if this would be the last time she did.
Ragnar was a sucker when it came to loyalty, he saw it as the main component of everything in life.
Love is a bonus because he knew he could grow to love a woman that dedicates herself to him but what is love without loyalty?
Ragnar noticed his wife's heart was racing that night, she was hiding something from him because she had no reason to be this nervous.
It was just sex, Lagertha had never thought anything about Ragnar refusing it, although they had never been apart for this long so this was an exception.
