King Ragnar was exhausted with his engagements during the day and night and offered no reprieve as King Rugalf Gardsson was being hosted with a feast. He stayed the night and celebrated with fellow warriors and ale with Ragnar present in the throne room.
This marked a new alliance but Ragnar was cautious due to this man's past relationship with Vestfold. He was once an enemy and Ragnar knew better than to blindly trust him because of a change of leadership, he suspected he had a different motive but had nothing to go for his suspicion.
Ragnar missed Lagertha and wondered what she was doing at this very moment but he was soon dragged into the celebration by Rugalf.
"King Ragnar Lothbrok! The foreign King was accepted by the masses! The true King that will restore Vestfold to its glory days!" Regalf was drunk and boasted as he had his arm around the nape of Ragnar's neck.
