parent identity

as the rider got closer he jumped down from his horse and stood in front of my mother and father

he was a huge man with blond hair like my mother's he towered over my father as he looked down on us he was wearing chain armor and holding two big axes

the rider: "yo esdeath, Olaf I finally found you"

Olaf: "hahaha it has been a long time thorfell you grew bigger again"

esdeath"uncle it has been a long time" then she turned to me and called me over

esdeath"come over balder(mc) greet your great uncle Thorell"

mc"hello great uncle"

Thorell approached me then lifted me "hello little one you look just like your mother"

Olaf"come to Thorfell let's go you must be tired come inside you need to drink with me like the old days"

Thorell: "what old days you always got drank after one barrel "

****inside the house ****

as father was sitting with thorfell drinking mother was preparing dinner

I was looking at Thorell as he looked familiar then it struck me isn't this thorfell from Vinland saga

he has the same name and looks the same

as I was looking at him he noticed me then he motioned for me to come to him

as came closer I noticed how huge he is maybe he seemed bigger because I'm a child

Thorell"so little balder do you wanna hear a story"

balder"a story about what"

thorfell grinning" about your father and mother past"

Olaf: "what are u doing"

Thorell"educating my great-nephew about his parent past"

Olaf looked at esdeath then sighted: "I guess it's time for us to tell him huh"

esdeath: "well it's inevitable"

Olaf:" so you tell him or me"

Thorell: "how about me"

esdeath/Olaf:"no"

Olaf "I will tell him then"

Olaf: "so the story begins with a young man...

end of the story

so apparently I am royalty my father is a distant relative of king Horik as for mother she is the daughter of the chief of the jomsviking so I could be called a nobleman as for why they are here they run away because my grandfather didn't like my father and didn't want him to marry his daughter and only my great uncle know their location as he promised not to tell his brother about it.

as I was processing the story my father asked thorfell:

Olaf: "I almost forget to ask why did you come to us it's not a habit of yours to visit us"

Thorell: "well it is because my brother is sick and he didn't want to die without seeing his grandchild and daughter one last time and he knows that I know where your hiding so he send me to ask you to return to the family "

Olaf: "I have known you for a long time Thorfell and I know when your hiding things from me"

Thorell: "you know me well so you know that I am not good at leading people I only know how to fight well and my brother has no hair and if I don't find someone suitable as an heir they will take me there leader and I heard that you have a son and he has the blood of the jomsviking chief so he is suitable"

Olaf: "you know that he's 5 years old right"

Thorell: "please I don't have any other choice if my brother dies and I become the leader I will die I was born only to fight, I will do anything please help me"

Olaf: "I can't choose such responsibilities in the staid of my son I can make him a leader in name until he grows older and chooses himself"

Thorfell"I will take it"

Olaf: "don't be happy so fast you need to be his reagin until he grows to adulthood and if he chooses to leave then you will respect his choice and if he stays then you need to swear your loyalty to him "

Thorfell: "damn it but it's okay 10 years will pass as for loyalty as long as I can fight it's alright"

Olaf: "then you have yourself a deal "

thorfell: "okay but if I'm going to be his subordinate in the future he needs to train hard"

Olaf: "don't worry I will train him"

thorfell:"good "
