A Maiden's Scar [TRIGGER WARNING]

The war on Vestfold was reaching a climactic conclusion but this was not the only place that was changing as Kattegat was a lot different than Askild had left it.

Herfjötur was healed up but she relinquished her power to Ulrik because she knew he could protect Kattegat better than she could, and Garda had settled in nicely as well thanks to being the woman of Ulrik.

"Ulrik, no word from Vestfold?" Karl asked his commander and Ulrik shook his head.

"I have not heard anything from them, but if Askild fell in the battle word would have reached us so he is good," Ulrik dismissed Karl's worry because he understood that the death of Askild would mean the end of Kattegat.

Everyone would want to claim it, Ulrik was a good leader but he was no king material.

"Ulrik darling!" Garda called out, clinging to his arm and Ulrik smiled the moment he saw her.
