บท 138: The Wise Words Of Asger

Birger had just told Ulf that he was the one going to kill Askild, this had to be some sort of joke because even if he killed Askild, he would be doomed.

They would kill him on the spot, and there were no two ways about it, as he could not even run due to being on a ship. The alternative was jumping into the sea, but there was no way anyone could survive. 

"I refuse!" Ulf vehemently rejected Birger's proposal because while he did want to be a famous warrior, he was still loyal to King Askild.

"Where does your loyalty lie, Ulf?" Birger asked, and Ulf responded without any hesitation.

"My loyalty is with Kattegat!" Ulf's resolve was unshaken, admirably so that Birger could not help but smirk beneath his helmet.

"I will hold you to that…." Birger muttered, but the tone he used was only audible to himself.

Tyr sat alone; he felt isolated as no one was around or talking to him.
