The Sage of Einar

Chapter 466: At Rath Bhoth Monastery



Chapter 466: At Rath Bhoth Monastery

Einar who was on his journey through the snow-covered hills, watched as Dreide seemed to be cold, so he sighed and approached her.

“Dreide if you’re cold you could sit with me and share a blanket, I’m worried you might get sick from the weather.”

Dreide looked at Einar with a smile and got off his horse so she could get on in front of Einar.

Einar hugged her around the waist and placed a white bear skin over them that covered them. Dreide who was cold could feel Einar’s heat, so she closed her eyes.

“I have never been cold at this time of the year for as long as I can remember. I think it is because it is much colder in this area than at home.”

Einar just smiled and hugged Dreide tighter. “You don’t have to worry. If I see you get sick, we’ll rest a bit and I’ll order white willow bark to be brought to me.

With it I will make a perfect medicine so that you can heal, because your health is the most important thing. “

Dreide recharged her weight on Einar and enjoyed her hug. “I thought that in this time that we have been together you would never hug me like this.

I have to admit that it is quite a strange feeling but I like it a lot, because it makes me feel safe. “

Einar just rested her head on Dreide’s shoulder. “I am worried that something will happen to you, although our relationship is not formalized yet.

I will never allow a person who is going to be close to me to suffer an illness that could end your life. Even if you don’t believe it, a simple flu can end your life.

Fortunately for you, I am a man who is very careful … “

Dreide just turned her head away from her and gave Einar a kiss. “Sometimes it’s better to be direct than to talk too much, but you can be sure that I will respect your decision to want to avenge Kassia.

It’s the least I have to do, but I just hope you can keep hugging me like this. I really like this feeling.

It had been a long time since I could relax. “

Einar looked at her with some affection and returned her kiss, before whispering in her ear, “You can be sure that I will take care of you. It is the least I can do for my next fiancĂ©e.

But I also want to thank you for respecting my decision. Although a year has passed since Kassia died, I do not feel very comfortable starting another relationship.

However, I can assure you that you will be the last person to whom I open my heart as a lover.

This is because physically it would be impossible to keep more than three women happy, but the most important thing is that I think I want to focus on my family completely.

That does not mean that I will stop doing the work of king and future emperor, but I want a quiet life with my family, that includes you and our future children.

Do you think my wish is selfish? “

Dreide shook his head and held Einar’s hands with his hands. “You are a man very focused on what you want. I think you know where you want to go.

Many men could not say the same because they put everything around them first to achieve their goal, but you just want to make a safe place.

It is surprising that a man sets out to conquer and build a great infrastructure just to be able to create a place for his family.

If any of our children in the future can inherit that from you, I think I will feel like the best mother in the world. “

“We just have to educate them on the right path. We can’t wait for them to have a decent behavior when they grew up in an environment without our care.

Although it is not always a guarantee that they will be wonderful children, we can avoid at least that they are spoiled who want everything without working for it. “

After that talk, the army continued advancing for 3 days until it was able to reach the walled monastery of Rath Bhoth, which was not very large.

However, despite that, Einar ordered the siege of the monastery. Following the rules that he had established, he sent a messenger requesting the surrender of the monastery.

The monks, who heard all the words of the messenger, agreed to surrender, however they asked for some food so that they could celebrate the birth of Jesus.

Which would be in two days. After that the monks were completely ready to surrender.

Einar, upon learning of the monks’ conditions, was surprised, as it was not a very extreme request, and he did not believe that the monks could do anything to defend themselves.

So he accepted their conditions and quickly gave them some sacks of wheat and dried fish, with that they would have more than enough food to celebrate Christmas.

Einar, on his part ordered the creation of a camp to be able to spend Christmas on the outskirts of that monastery.

Dreide who looked at Einar’s intentions, could only sigh because she was very curious to know why they had to celebrate a Christian holiday.

Einar who was helping to pitch his tent looked at Dreide with a smile and started speaking in Irish.

“When you are a leader, you must understand your soldiers and the people who follow you very well. In my case, you should realize that most of my army is made up of Christians.

Not to mention that most of them refer to me as Messiah, that’s why I have an obligation to celebrate Christmas and the New Year.

But I also think that it is a good time for you to rest properly. I think that in the last few days you have not been able to sleep comfortably.

Just take advantage of these days to rest because I am completely sure that the monks are going to surrender and if they don’t, I will simply burn down the monastery.

Although I consider it a loss for all the good books that may be inside the monastery and which could serve to better understand the history of the island. “

Dreide laughed. “You will have to teach me how we have to celebrate Christmas. I always listened to the priests and missionaries who arrived in our tribe.

But never pay attention to their words, as I considered them a waste of time. “

Einar looked fondly at Dreide. “It is normal that you do not like religion and less when a subject who thinks he is superior tries to teach it.

But don’t worry, we’ll just enjoy the food while the soldiers enjoy the celebrations. “
