"Ragnar threatened to write a decree ordering my beheading, the same as he did to Arnulp. Then, I grabbed his hand and placed it on my neck, and told him, 'Take my head whenever you want, whenever you feel I deserve it,'" Sophia recounted, her voice tinged with a mix of defiance and vulnerability.

Adeline's eyes widened in disbelief at Sophia's stubbornness but couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration for her courage.

Sophia laughed. "Of course!"
