IVAN POV
For the first time, since I've been brought into this world and became the ruler of my people, I became truly afraid. I was a king who loved war and I've conquered many kingdoms. Some became my allies because they couldn't defeat me while others had to face death because of their pride and stupidity. I had never out rightly declared war on anyone until now. It was also a good motive to because it was Freya, Harald's wife and a friend of mine.
I can't count how many times he has been there for me how many times I need him or for Arianne. Harald and I might fight sometimes, we may not see eye to eye on too many occasions but if there was one thing we would always do, it's to be there for each other.
