Chapter 102: A Condition?

The news of Signy's abduction reached Asmund and Asmund did not react to this news whatsoever. This reaction bothered Kjell because maybe he did not see his son missing as anything of concern.

"Ah, I knew this might happen," Asmund muttered to himself, and just then, the rain began to descend from the sky, the water pellets soaking them in no time.

"We should get some cover, King Asmund," Kjell advised but Asmund chose to remain on the wall, staring blankly into the field. Without saying another word, Kjell excused himself because it was clear Asmund wanted to be alone.

He knew what happened the last time Kattegat held one of their own but he knew Askild would not be that stupid because Signy was the most valuable hostage he could ask for.

But Signy was also the best chance they had at making Askild surrender, this was thanks to his expertise in diplomacy, and this was the time to put his travels to use.
