Chapter 492: Rifts in the Irish coalition
After hearing that, Einar drank his pine tea and looked at his reflection of his face in the cup.
“So in short, are we facing a poorly prepared army which only relies on a superior number to exist?”
Queen Cumman nodded. “It should be that way, however my disappearance may have brought about changes in the coalition army.
But I suppose that all that information you will have to get from your special forces soldiers, I do not have powers or magic to be able to know what happens in a place when I am not present.
Now, do you have any other questions you want me to answer? “
Einar shook his head. “At the moment, I have no questions. You can stay in this place as long as you remember that you will be watched by Kirk and other soldiers.
We have to verify that the information you gave us is true once we show that the information has some value or is only false.
I will give my verdict, but if you have not lied, then I will reward you with the rank of duchess, but being noble does not mean being superior remember that.
The noble title is something honorable, but its value does not exceed the laws, also as an extra reward you will receive a small compensatory payment for your kingdom.
It will not be much because we are at war, however it will help you to create your little castle in the Faroe Islands. Just remember that only the castle will be yours.
Everything else that is outside belongs to the nation, so it has nothing to do with the things you might have in the future.
But you should have time to review all those things calmly. Now just enjoy your little freedom that you now have. “
Queen Cumman got up from her chair and walked away as Dreide looked at her with some anger. “I’m completely sure she wasn’t lying, as I’ve seen many liars throughout my life and she didn’t seem to be one of them.
However, what angered me was her comment about redheads, it is true that they consider us a disgrace. “
Einar nodded and caressed Dreide’s beautiful freckled face. “Unfortunately, being different often implies being considered inferior because human beings fear the unknown.
For example, albinos are wild beasts because of the lack of color in their skin and hair.
We redheads treat us like we are garbage, however that is because of our appearance, but I can promise you that will change.
Well, it is a real danger to let that idea continue to expand people’s minds, because not only our lives are at risk but also that of our children.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t help that the church occupies us as enemies to justify its malicious acts against the population. “
While this was happening in the castle, in the Bangor barony, things were completely different, especially in the army of the Nordic coalition.
This because the suspicion among the leaders wreaked havoc among the glorious army, as the warriors of Queen Cumman.
They faced beatings with another group of warriors, who insulted Queen Cumman for disappearing, arguing that she had murdered her own guards in order to escape her.
The confrontation between these two groups of soldiers was only blows, however it created havoc among the coalition.
In a meeting that took place a few hours later, all the kings and church leaders met to try to settle their differences once and for all.
“We must all stop our suspicions among ourselves about the whereabouts of Queen Cumman. If we continue in this way, we will end up fighting and we will give the advantage to that damn army of pagans.
I am completely sure that Queen Cumman was kidnapped by the pagan Norsemen, although I have no conclusive evidence on that fact. I have no doubts about it. “
Queen Cumman’s younger sister glared at the king who said that “How dare you say that my sister was kidnapped by the Norse.
If my sister’s camp was on the border, I could completely believe that she might have been caught by enemies.
However, my sister’s camp was near Bangor Castle.
It is simply impossible that a group of pagans can break through the entire border guard and outposts that we have simply to kidnap my sister.
Even though they could have broken through all the defenses the barony had, it is completely impossible that they could have known where my sister’s camp was located.
Not to mention that they were able to enter a camp that was supposed to have armed guards ready to fight without any difficulty.
This is undoubtedly an internal attack by some of the kings who are present here. There is no other way to explain it because, like demons you go through an entire barony without attracting the attention of the guards all over the place.
At least if there were corpses among the guards who were guarding the barony or the border, I would be completely sure that the pagans have infiltrated.
However, the latest reports show that all the soldiers on the border are safe and sound, so it is practically impossible for them to have been able to attack us.
Let us also not forget that there is no indication in any of the baronies of the kingdom of Ulster have been invaded or the coasts were attacked.
Unless the heathen can teleport or have magic or powers that we don’t understand, I would agree to say that they were to blame for my sister’s disappearance.
I am completely sure that this advice also agrees with me because if they could easily disappear my sister they could disappear any of us who are here.
At that moment, what is fair? Are we going to say? I will continue to believe that the pagans are the culprits, or we will begin to fix the situation by finding the culprits.
In order to kidnap my sister, at least 30 well-trained warriors must have taken part, since they were able to kill her two guards, attracting no one’s attention.
I propose that we initiate an interrogation of all the elite warriors of each of us in order to find the culprits.
It will undoubtedly be the easiest way to find all those who took part in my sister’s kidnapping. “
