Erik's Trial?

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.

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.
