Queen Oda's eyes met Ragnar's, and in that moment, it was clear that their history was tarnished by the bloodstains of ruthless decisions and betrayals.

"All is fair in love and war, Your Majesty, Ragnar Clementine," Queen Oda retorted with a coldness that mirrored her earlier actions. Her words hung heavily in the air, laden with the weight of her ruthlessness.

It was a momentous exchange, one filled with tension and an undercurrent of long-standing enmity.

The room seemed to hold its breath, enveloped in an eerie silence, broken only by the haunting echoes of Vicar's deranged laughter.
