The death of yet another prisoner spread and they could not do anything to curb it.
Garda was a suspect briefly but Lagertha dismissed this quite quickly.
Garda would have served as a scapegoat because Ulrik was out for blood, and he didn't mind who he needed to skin alive.
He could not trust anyone but Lagertha at the moment, this timing and execution was not a work of an amateur, and this involuntarily put him on guard.
"Lagertha, I need to speak with Garda alone to see what she might have seen," Ulrik requested as Lagertha was her guardian at this moment, it was discovered that Garda was a nineteen-year-old lady but she had caught the eye of Ulrik because he was interested in her.
There was nothing to do and he needed to let go of some of his pent-up stress.
Lagertha checked that Garda was fine and she did not look too shaken up about a dead body apart from the initial shock.
