King Asmund has not been seen since his battle with King Askild, he was in his chambers and relayed all his instructions through his son, Signy.
Asmund knew he was not strong enough as he realized that Askild had the strength to kill him.
This was not the reason he remained in his chambers, however.
Signy knew he had to keep their morals high, and went the extra mile to ensure this because this was a necessity, bringing their bodies back showed them that they would get an honorable send-off in death, and this gave them the extra incentive to give their all.
Kjell watched Signy grow in this past month, he grew into his shoes and he had gotten the respect of the men he led. He starved Kattegat of their supplies in his father's stead.
"Signy… We are making progress with trenches, the scouts have reported that the camp is still in peril." Earl Aksel muttered, he sounded happy about it.
Author here, when I was writing this chapter I had an epiphany and I cannot wait to share it with you all!
I don't want to give the plot away so I won't say anymore than this. I'm stockkpiling for privilege chapter next month but I don't plan to slack on daily updates either so you guys don't need to worry about a break!
