His eyes were filled with boredom as he wiped his claymore clean. Yet when he saw the waddling figure of Torsten come over he felt surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You even got blood on your weapon?\" Astrom said with true amazement thinking the dwarf to die in the first attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Torsten looked at him kicking the barrel over and taking a piece of fruit for himself. \"I’m a mighty warrior. Didn’t you know that?\" He spoke with his usual arrogance and it caused a deep hearty laugh from Astrom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\" Astrom took another bite form the fruit before throwing it away. \"WHats it you want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When do you plan to kill Helga?\" Torsten asked bluntly and Astreom sighed looking to the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your meant to be the one who plans these things Torsten?\" Running his hand through his hair he clicked his tongue. \"After the war. Get her when shes weak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And your son? What if he gets caught up in it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Astrom glared at him scoffing. \"If he gets taken as a hostage by that woman so be it. As long as she dies its fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Torsten smile and nodded. \"As you wish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord. A man has returned from Astrom’s camp.\" Ketil said politely giving a deep bow towards Helga as she sharpened her blade, looking at the distant settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why does it matter?\" She didn’t even look back continuing to sharpen her blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apparently he’s the king’s son,\" Ketil replied equally dismissive as he leaned against his large war axe, eyeing the town. The walls were noticeably higher and thicker than what they had health with before, but he didn’t feel scared. Instead, he got more excited about maybe having a challenge this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is he causing a commotion or anything?\" The battle was so close and any distraction now would be a great annoyance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only that he wants to meet you. Apparently, he thinks being that man’s son earns him the right.\" Helga groaned as she took a look down at her sword looking at her reflection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bring him here. I can’t be bothered to have problems like these pile up just before our attack.\" Standing up she sheathed her blade and turned to walk back into her camp. Everyone lowered their heads towards her causing a smile. Deeper into the camp a commotion could be heard and Helga already felt a headache forming from the young boys cires to see her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move!\" Ketil called out and the crowd opened up showing the young man glaring fiercely at another warrior. His hand was itching to take his weapon but seeing Ketil’s towering figure he gulped and froze. From behind Helga walked through, her hands behind her back and eyes cold as ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You demanded to see me?\" Ralph felt himself stiffen at her cold voice as he gave a weak nod trying to look away. Helga watched him and his peeking eyes filled with desire didn’t go unnoticed. It caused her to smirk making Ralph go red in embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you here boy?\" Ketil spoke up and Ralph looked at him with a crooked smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My father said it would be best for me to join you. After all, he says you will be wed soon...\" Ralph let the words trail seeing the air around Helga twist in rage at the idea.’I thought it was her idea.’He couldn’t understand why she was so angry but knew that it was best not to mention the topic anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right. Of course.\" Helga said calming herself down as she took a couple of steps forward to be directly in front of Ralph. The young man felt himself once again going red at her analytic eyes.’Why does father force me to kill her.’It was unfair. He could still get Helga’s lands if he had her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helga watched Ralph. The desire in him was sickening, but she wasn’t completely repulsed by it. In fact, it was funny. Nothing had been said yet it was obvious Astrom wanted to kill her the same way she did. Even if there was nothing to be gained Astrom was simply a person Helga couldn’t stand. Her mind raced as she thought about the ways she wanted to carve him in their first meeting, but she breathed, relaxing herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Ralph she smiled once more. The fact his son was like this meant she could use it. Reaching out from behind her back she took Ralph’s face and grabbed his chin. She forced him to look into her eyes as she stared back, an alluring smile on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So boy,\" Helgas spoke with a voice full of desire causing Ralhp to gulp.’So easy.’She tried her best not to laugh looking at his mesmerized display. \"Will you join us in this battle?\" She leaned forward bringing her mouth next to his ear. Her breath sent shivers down Ralph’s spine. \"Show me you are his son?\" To her question, a static nod was all she got and Helga pulled back, releasing his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning back she walked off with Ketil. \"Grab me a cloth and water would you Ketil.\" Her smile vanished whilst looking at her, as the large man quickly reached out to a random tent and took a damp cloth. Helga wiped her hand furiously before chucking the cloth onto the ground. \"Disgusting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young-brown haired girl looked up at the throne. On it sat an ancient figure who looked a breath away from death. His crown loosely sat on his head whilst his clothes threatened to fall off his frail figure. His long grey hair was messy as it fell down his face, revealing his dry skin. Behind all that was a pair of deep, sunken eyes reeking of insanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father.\" The girl called out nervously at the old figure who looked down at her. \"A raven has come for you.\" Walking up the steps she gently placed the note down before running off to fetch her brother. The old man didn’t even pay attention to the girl, reading the note in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father.\" An older man in his late thirties walked back in with the young girl hiding behind him. King Andor looked down at the two lifting his bony finger up. With a single bend in it, the man knew what he wanted and walked up taking the note.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are these people?\" Andors voice was dry and raspy with every word sounding like it took a great amount of effort to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man, Sigurd read the note and smiled. \"They are Jarls in the west. You know Astrom and this Helga is the new queen down south.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Queen?\" Andor said confused. His eyes slowly blinked. \"WHY WANS’T I TOLD ABOUT THIS?\" His sudden yell of anger shook the young girl who shrunk into her shoulders. She could only wonder where her father got the power to scream like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigurd didn’t react, used to the sudden shift in emotion from Andor. \"I did tell you. You must have forgotten.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andor looked up at him pointing his finger. His hand shook as he did. \"Do not lie boy.\" His voice was venomous as he spoke to Siguird but he brushed it off not scared. At this point his father was a king in name only. Sigurd only left him alive because Andor dying by natural causes would be easier to deal with than being labeled a kin slayer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once more he looked down at the note. \"A marriage alliance.\" Folding the note he walked down the steps and handed it to the young girl. \"Do you want to get married Haddy?\" Sigurd asked politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"WHO SAID YOU COULD ASK?\" Before she could answer Andor called out from behind his breathing labored as he tried to stand up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry about him.\" Sigurd saw his sister shivering in fear from Andor’s cries and grabbed her pushing his body in front to block him from vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not marrying an old man am I?\" Haddy asked nervously having seen how her stepmothers were treated after marrying Andor at his age. Sigurd smiled and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From what I know he is a little younger than me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want me to brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"GUARDS!\" Andor cried out into the empty air as the people on duty ignored him. \"ARREST THIS TRAITOR! HES DISINHERITED! A BASTARD!\" Andor cries once more sending shivers down Haddy’s spine as Sigurd finally annoyed clicked his tongue and turns to face his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking the steps the old king sunk back into it clutching his crown. His mad eyes looked deep into Siguirds. \"You want to take my crown now! GURADS!\" His insane cry rung out and Sigurd, annoyed, finally grabbed his father’s throat, applying pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will you shut up old man.\" A deep bloodlust spilled out as Andor threw weak punches at the mans chest. \"I will kill you if you keep screaming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relasing his neck, Andor frantically reached for his crown and only sighed in relief feeling it still there. Looking at Siguird he slowly rose and pointed out, weekly walking down the steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will kill you boy. And all your bastard brothers and sisters.\" Haddy once more hid behind her brother hearing those words but Siguird only smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go and die, old cunt.\" Taking his sister away he looked down at her with a smile. \"If you don’t want to get married its fine. But it might help me if you do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haddy grabbed her hair and twirled it but eventually nodded. \"Okay. If it will help you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1614,"2026-06-03T11:17:48.775Z","2026-06-03T11:17:51.400Z",1,"novelbin.me","1406e957bdad0b4b139833f1c23b97cd50429a428bb04dcd824b5398735c119b","the-reborn-king-chapter-195","the-reborn-king-chapter-193",487,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-reborn-king-cover.jpg"]
