Earlier that day back in Kattegat, things were looking quite good. King Askild had cemented his place as King and with the recent development that was worthy of praise and celebration.
Liv was pregnant with his child, Askild was going to be a father and have an heir to the throne of Kattegat. This was a miracle considering how long they had been trying and it was believed that she could not have a child either.
But all that was wrong, Askild was glad that this had happened as he could never have guessed it happening and the timing was fortunate too.
The gods were finally on his side and he relished it, Lagertha had also taken in and Askild couldn't help but read meaning into this.
For the gods to bless him, the path he has taken right to this very moment pleased them and this was why they blessed him with a child.
"I thank Odin for you, my love," Askild said with a smile, he couldn't believe that his fate was changing.
