Lagertha!?

A figure stood above Lagertha with a knife in hand but there was no doubt that whoever this was, was a threat. 

The person swung their hand down in an attempt to stab the blonde lady right in her torso but Lagertha managed to roll out of the way in time, prompting the sword to hit an empty mass.

Lagertha couldn't believe it but she also knew that she couldn't let herself go as she was aware that there were people that opposed her husband's rule.

Lagertha was a skilled shield maiden even when pregnant and this person must have known that hence why they took this approach.

Lagertha looked around the room but the cloaked figure had taken measures to make sure she couldn't reach her weapon.

She had to fight unharmed while protecting her torso, she couldn't risk losing her baby and this meant she had to fight a lot more carefully than she needed to.

This inadvertently put her at a disadvantage because she couldn't fight at full strength.
