King Ecbert knew everything was in shambles. His family had gotten away, but everything else was in ruins. He should have known that Ragnar Lothbrok would betray him. But despite his betrayal, he had to say that was something that he would have done himself. Despite all of it and how things appeared, there was indeed a twist. He had freed Ragnar from King Aelle’s grasp, before his death. He’d created some fake treaty and he’d pulled him out of there. He’d had him at the Royal Villa ever since, well in theory.

He’d wound up basically holding him up in the tower, and the last he checked, he was still alive. So, he was technically alive. But no one had given him a chance to talk. He’d heard the son that could not walk talk about a blood eagle. He’d heard many different things, but the son that he assumed was one of Ragnar’s older sons, one that moved like his father had when they met, was currently guarding him.

“Hey Son of Ragnar, I know you all seem to be determined to kill me, but what if I have a bit of information that may change your mind, perhaps about your father.”
