Kapitel 267: A King's Meeting

King Ragnar had requested an audience with Askild that night, an audience the King of Kattegat granted. 

Despite the late hours, Askild welcomed Ragnar into the throne room because he was set to leave the next day.

"King Askild, I have come to ask you one thing…" Ragnar said the moment he sat down across Askild.

"What is it?" Askild asked him.

"How long have you known?" King Ragnar questioned him and this prompted Askild to raise a brow in confusion.

"Know what?" Askild questioned. 

"How long have you known that Tyr was alive?" Ragnar asked him and judging from Askild's facial expression, he knew exactly what Ragnar was talking about. 

"I have known ever since the day that Erik was killed… You have raised quite the dangerous son, Ragnar and I'm afraid that I cannot let him roam freely…" Askild admitted to the accusations.

"King…." Ragnar said, but Askild was confused. 

"What?" Askild asked.
