Chapter 149: Boat trip
Chapter 149: Boat trip
Inside the ship’s captain’s room, Anders was swinging his hips while Nelda was enjoying the berserker’s thrusts.
“Do you like how I can prove myself, Nelda?”
Nelda who was enjoying herself could only laugh a little as she could barely speak “We have …
It long time for me to continue proving your worth, but now shut up and kiss me. “
Anders only smiled and bending down he could kiss Nelda’s soft lips, while with his hands he pressed the captain’s shapely breasts.
The two after this small event began to try other positions, completely ignoring what was happening around them.
While this was happening in Nelda’s room, Russell the little boy was on the prow of the ship training with one of the warrior women.
“Rusell you must be braver like Anders, do not be afraid and throw yourself against your enemies.
At your age you need courage, when you grow up and reach adulthood you need intelligence.
Well, as a child it is useless to think against adults because most of the time brute force is superior to strategies. “
Russell who was wiping the dirt off his face got up and started attacking the warrior woman with his wooden sword.
The woman only smiled and defended herself from the senseless blows of little Russell, so after a while of training, she let him rest on the wood of the boat.
“Rusell, I think the surprise factor is better for you. Forget to attack head-on and use it for bravery to kill your enemies as quickly as possible.
Because of your size, you can hide in the grass or small places, wait for your enemy to pass, and kill him.
But remember that whatever you do, you must always do it with the certainty of winning or if you fail to escape.
Unless you are a berserker like Anders, then you can fight however you want but keep in mind that your condition may cost you your life or some part of your body. “
Russell who was listening to everything nodded his small head and rested a little as he could not move his body.
At night Anders woke up and looked with a smile at Nelda who was sleeping next to him so avoiding waking her up he stood up and decided to go outside to get some fresh sea air.
When he reached the bow of the boat, he opened his hands and enjoyed the cold breeze that was in the environment.
‘Same name but different life, I suppose that my dream as a child was fulfilled and I will be able to reach the Islands where all the wealth of the north comes from, although this time I do not come as a Viking but as a conqueror.
I wonder what the Christian monks will feel when a pagan like me begins to go up the ranks of the nobility of their kingdoms; I know it will not be easy, but I am sure that none of them have the ability to defend their kingdoms from the fucking Vikings.
It is a shame that Nelda has to continue with her travels since otherwise, I would like to start a life with her, but I suppose that a berserker like me does not deserve to have a partner and maybe children.
Although I will try not to break communication with her, I think we could manage to be together, even if it is only for short periods of time. ‘
Anders lowered his head and smiled as he looked at the beautiful sea ‘I guess I’ll have to thank the emperor for his actions. If it weren’t for his desire for revenge, I might never have thought of restarting my life.
It was a great cost that I paid for it, but what in my life has been free, since I can remember there is always a payment that life asks of you when you want something.
Sometimes it does not charge you at the beginning but what is expected and when you least expect it, it charges you for all the things you have done.
Other times I want to assume that life makes advance payments for actions that you have not done … ‘
After being lost in thought for a few minutes, Anders started walking towards the ship’s kitchen, wanting to have some stale beer.
Because his throat was quite dry from all the exercise he had done since the afternoon.
The next morning Anders woke Russell up and started him running around the entire ship.
“Rusell, the first step for you to get revenge is that you have the ability to kill those people who hurt your mother, for this you have to run faster and if you feel that you can no longer keep running in pain.
Also, it is not going to occur to you to start running near the railings of the ship because otherwise, you could fall and in this sea, I regret to tell you that you will end up dying, because although I can be a real beast on the battlefield in the sea just I can keep floating. “
Poor Russell continued running, following the steps he had taken from yesterday’s warrior woman who had told him that he had to improve his breathing if he wanted to last longer running or in training.
Nelda who had come out towards the bow of the ship looked at poor Russell running so she just shook her head and approached Anders to whom he handed a mug containing stale beer.
“To be your apprentice, I think you are somewhat soft with him. My father ended up teaching me in an even more brutal way how I had to learn to get out of the sea in case I fell off the boat.
I still remember how I was thrown overboard without my even being able to do anything to avoid it, I could only have to get back on the boat where it would be waiting for me to jump back into the water. “
Anders laughed a bit at Nelda’s anecdote and sighed silently. “I also had a difficult childhood because being a berserker, a great father, he ended up teaching me everything I needed to face the world around me.
Also, due to the war that was happening with the Frankish Empire, I ended up killing the first Christian soldier when he was just seven years old. I assassinated him while he was going to do the bathroom, fortunately, he was alone because otherwise, he would have died at that time.
Since he kept screaming to have mercy but for all that I had lived through and the damage they had been doing to my people, I had no mercy for what the blood of that soldier stained my hands and my face.
I still remember his screams sometimes while I sleep, but despite that, I do not regret having done it because I am sure he would not have killed if he had the opportunity.
As for Rusell, you can say that with all the experience that he has generated over the years, I feel that it is not worth it to have to yell at him while I give him harder training.
Well, many times the enemies that he will face will have more agility than strength, because his enemies would mainly be members of the Christian creed, so unlike our people who are used to eating meat and few seeds every day.
The Christian kingdoms can only give their population barley and in very rare cases wheat, so very rarely or almost never, in my opinion, they will be able to develop big muscles like the ones I have.
But that does not mean that they are less dangerous because since you know how to have less body, it means to be more agile many times.
In some fights that I can remember, I sometimes felt frustrated because although I knew that I could kill the enemy in front of me, he bravely dodged every blow I tried to give him, so, in the end, I had to manage to finish with his life.”
Nelda was surprised by Anders’ honesty and gave him a smile “I know it would be very impolite of me if he asked you more about your past, but I would like to ask you about what plans you have in the future and what are you trying to do with your facade of noble Christian. “
Anders looked at his reflection in the stale beer and after that, he drank it completely in one gulp “I’m just trying to start a new stage in my life, I have nothing to fight for except to fulfill a favor that I owe to an old friend.
But since I’ve lost everything and don’t even have a place to call home, I think starting over is for the best, as far as what I want to accomplish dressed as a noble Christian.
It is quite simple; I want to be able to sit on one of its thrones in the Christian kingdoms, for this I will seek to make a name for myself and perhaps over the years to be able to form an army with which I can claim one of the many thrones on this island.
It will not be an easy task, but fortunately thanks to the constant invasions from the north by the Vikings, I am sure that I will be able to fish in rough waters.
But despite all this, I would like to ask you if we could, you know in the future, not lose the little connection that we started on this journey. “
Nelda smiled and put her hand on Anders’s shoulder before leaning on his arm “I am a fairly honest woman with my feelings if there is something that I hate I say it and if there is something that I like he also said it, but I can also tell you that you are a good man or at least that’s what I can see.
We can continue with our relationship as long as you want, that’s because I ended up liking you, who knows, maybe on the trip out pregnant and I’ll end up having your child.
But whatever the outcome of everything you do, it seems to you if we meet three times a year in the port of Norwich, usually I stay docked in that port for about a month that is not long but I think we could be together.
Although remember that if at any time you fail or have to run, you can trust me for what you can start a new life with me. “
Anders showed a smile on his face and decided not to say anything as it was a moment he could only enjoy.
