Chapter 482: On the way to Dun Dealgan city
Einar who was looking at the bastard son of King Faelcar smiled wryly. “You had an excellent strategy to be able to defeat the Nordic army.
My soldiers found a lot of traps around the camp. Maybe your strategy would have worked, but you never thought I would attack from the north.
Which shows that you have a lot to learn, but boy this is war and things don’t go the way you think they should. “
The young man with brown hair and green eyes looked at Einar with hatred. “What do you want from me? Your army won the battle and I am just a disposable pawn.
Even if you try to use my father, I am not going to interest him at all. For him, it only exists in his daughters. I am only the result of rape.
My mother was just a servant who was abused by King Faelcar. That is why she did not care too much, even this barony. It’s just a piece of land that nobody wanted.”
Einar stroked his beard “That’s a sad story but from the way you tell it it seems that you hate your father too much.”
The young man lowered his head from him. “I hate him. He ended up killing my mother, simply because he considered her a bitch for having gotten pregnant with me.
As I said before, I am only a disposable pawn because his genuine family is their daughters; I am only a replacement who has not killed why I still serve him. “
Einar laughed. “I will propose a deal. You can refuse but that would mean that you will be treated as a slave and because of his position as a bastard son you would be working in a mine.
However, if you accept, you could be as a second-class citizen, perhaps you would not like the same rights that a normal citizen has, but you could advance the hierarchy to be able to get a better place.
Also, if you help me I promise that you can personally kill your father to avenge your mother. All I want is for you to tell me everything you know about the city of Dun Dealgan.
Once we can confirm all the information you tell us, you will have special treatment so you can be in a house under preventive detention in Dublin.
Until they can take you to the Faroe Islands where you can start your new life away from this place, but everything will depend on the decision you make.
Just remember that with your help or without your help we are going to conquer that city, not for something in these months. I have destroyed all the kingdoms of this place.
So what do you want to be a bastard slave or a new person with a quiet life in a place where you are respected? “
The young man raised his head and looked at Einar seriously. “I agree to help you conquer the city of Dun Dealgan. I may not know much about that city.
However, as the son of King Faelcar I had the opportunity to play when he was a child in a series of tunnels under the city.
Many of them connect to different old buildings built by the invaders of a long time ago. I never asked my father about those tunnels because even if he did, he would never answer me.
With some friends we managed to go one of them that leaves the church to a nearby cave. At that time, I never met a guard or person who looked after those tunnels.
So I’m sure that if you want to infiltrate the city that will be the best option. Of course, you can always use besieged stairs to enter.
But I think using the tunnels under the city will be the best. As far as I can remember, it should be the tunnel big enough to allow about 200 people to enter every so often.
Also, according to the last thing I heard from my father and the nobles is that the priest of the city escaped and the bishop stayed in the royal palace.
So the church should be completely empty, although I’m not entirely sure about that. “
Einar took a deep breath and patted the young man on the man. “I’ll take you with us. Just remember that anything you say will help or harm my troops.”
After this Einar ordered to burn the bodies, when they finished doing that the army started the road to the city of Dun Dealgan.
On the way Einar who was hugging Dreide turned his head to look at the young bastard “Now that I think about it, haven’t I asked your name?”
The young man sighed. “My name is Darren, that’s the name my mother gave me because my father gave me another name but I really don’t want to use it.”
Einar turned his head and looked at the snowy road. “This place has always been in this state or everything changed when the invasion started.”
Darren took a deep breath and closed his eyes. “The invasion you started was only the trigger that the few people left in this place had escaped.
For years, my father has managed the kingdom very badly. He made decisions that led to a famine for which many people died.
Following that, there was a confrontation with the kingdom of Breifne, for some mountain ranges located in the south of the kingdom, although the war was not too bloody.
This further impoverished the peasants, as taxes increased so many people ended up dying or escaping.
But I guess it’s the same with all the rest of the kingdoms in this region. Kings only think of them and nobles are the same. “
Einar smiled and gave Dreide a kiss on the neck as he slowly inserted his hand into her pants, Dreide who did not understand what Einar was doing could only bite her lip when Einar’s fingers stimulated her clitoris.
“When you know the way of life of the Nordic nation, you will understand that it is superior to anything you have ever known.”
Darren turned his head to see Einar hugging his wife. Since they were both covered in bearskin, he didn’t notice anything strange.
“I hope I can enjoy that, as I would hate to see a famine of that magnitude again. So many people dying is something that is never forgotten.”
Einar put his serious face and looked at Darren. “You will not see that again. I will take care of that because I would never put the lives of my family or my citizens at risk.
But you should go back to the soldiers. I want to talk a few things with my wife. “
Darren nodded and started walking toward the soldiers.
