While listening to Olan's words, Karin's fingers gently pressed Olan's shoulders. Olan felt comfortable and happy. She patted her arm and slowly told the story she had heard.
"Malm is Ella's eldest daughter. She fell into the hands of the Vikings and turned a pair of famous brothers among the Vikings into enemies.
These brothers rule the territory together and have a status similar to that of a baron, similar to me.
At the same time, he has some connections with the most prominent Viking family, the Ragnar Lothbrok family. "
"Ragnar Lothbrok!" Karin was stunned for a moment.
On the land of England, a devout priest may not know the holy name of the contemporary "Roman Pope", but Ragnar must know it.
Devil, Satan, shit, son of a bitch... Thousands of nicknames rolled into one.
Ragnar is the nightmare in countless people's hearts and the object of the priest's curse.
There are Vikings everywhere in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, belonging to different lords.
If all the Vikings were considered as a country, Ragnar would be the highest-ranking king in this country!
He and his brother "Russell" once besieged the capital of "Frank"!
This incident shocked the lords of Guangming Continent and made the morale and prestige of the Vikings unprecedentedly high.
"Are you afraid?"
Feeling Karin stop, Oran held her arm and said coldly, "It was the men of Ragnar's son, Ivar the Boneless, who took me to the Vikings and allowed me to live like a pig for three months. I will repay this great gift to them!"
Oran was so angry that he used too much force, causing Karin to feel pain. Then Oran relaxed and let her give her a good squeeze, and continued to tell the story.
“No one knows how Malm came back, only that the two brothers who fought for her died in the fire.
Afterwards, she was brought back by a fisherman, who was said to have prevented her from escaping. She was also led by the fisherman with an iron chain until she reached the land, and was relieved only when she saw the guards sent by the nobles. "
"What happens next?"
"I heard what my father said. In the castle hall, the fisherman confidently said that Miss Malm said she was willing to marry him, so he took all the trouble to bring her back here and asked the distinguished adults to fulfill their promise and let the priest agree to the marriage. "
Oran changed the subject, "This fisherman was full of crazy ideas of becoming a noble. In the end, he died of his own greed. Feeling insulted, Ella chopped him up and fed him to the fish. Therefore, people must recognize their identity. .”
Karin heard this very clearly and took it in.
Being able to spend one night with the lord, even if it was just this once, should be satisfying.
But in fact, except for the British region, the southern continent had not established a complete aristocratic system at this time.
From the rise of Caesar, through the era of the Five Emperors to the collapse of the orthodox Roman Empire, the world of light lost its only master and entered the dark age where all heroes came together. Various wars caused the decline of countless noble families and the rise of new characters.
If a commoner is appreciated by the lord, he can become a new noble after being canonized.
Among the Seven Kingdoms of England alone, in the past hundred years, there have been more than 50 civilians born into small aristocratic families.
But the fisherman met Ella who had great contempt for civilians, so his fate was doomed.
"Sir, I will take care of your fatigue today." Karin lowered her head and massaged harder.
Karin was actually very tired after her first job, but she wanted to take care of Oran more.
"sleepy……"
As their eyelids grew heavier, a man and a woman fell asleep embracing each other.
…
That night, hundreds of kilometers outside the territory of County Durham, was the castle territory of King Ella. .
"Malm" himself was staying in a small room with very poor lighting.
Then, someone shouted from outside, it was her fourth sister who had not left the cabinet.
"Don't come, father will be angry." Malm advised.
"It's not your fault, it's those men who are disgusting!"
Beauty allows Malm to survive difficulties, but it also makes her experience hardships and suffer many disasters along the way.
But she was thinking about her father and mother, her sisters, and her fiancé, so she wanted to come back.
But after going through hardships to reach the castle, what he got was,
"How did you survive?"
"Have you converted?"
"Did the Vikings let you back?"
"Will they attack again?"
"You're so filthy."
"You should have died in Viking territory, Malm."
"..."
The words that he should die on Viking territory were said by his fiancé.
There is a tainted fiancée, which makes the self-proclaimed heroic knight deeply ashamed!
"Sister, I have something that I don't know whether I should say."
Malm didn't say a word. The weak candlelight and the confinement in the small room with no access to sunlight made her originally fair face look even paler.
"He's getting married!" Finally, the fourth sister blurted out.
Malm replied, "My heart died the day I came back."
"elder sister!"
"The target is the second sister, right?"
"Um……"
"Congratulate them for me, no... I was ordered to stay in confinement to atone for my sins because I ruined the family's innocence. No one wants to know my blessings."
"No, actually, father and mother..."
"..."
"Sister, I followed your instructions and ransomed the 'fisherman' family from a small manor."
"Thank you, please don't come here again."
After the fourth sister left, and fell into the time of herself and her own shadow, Malm said to herself,
"That's it. I should be grateful to my parents for not killing me, nor poisoning me, nor locking me in a monastery. They just asked me not to go out to see guests in the name of illness..."
My thoughts drift away and I return to that day.
That day, a team of Vikings entered Ella's manor in the suburbs. At that time, there were twenty-five people in the manor, including servants and family members, and more than half were women.
Although there are only eighteen enemies, they are all warriors who have been on the battlefield.
Among the female family members, besides herself, she also has a stepmother and her second sister.
The three of them were going to a family cemetery to pay their respects.
For the safety of his mother and sister, he voluntarily became a hostage and led the Vikings to retreat.
It was clearly agreed that he would redeem his own within three days.
But the stepmother did not keep her promise. When the team sent people to retrieve the redeemed treasure, six of them were killed by ambushed soldiers.
The last Viking boy, whose arms were covered with tattoos and who had escaped from a bloody battle, pointed his sword at himself and said,
"You killed my companions. Each of them is a warrior. To die in a sneak attack is to humiliate them. From now on, spend your life with tears in a foreign land!"
The boy's back was cut with a sharp weapon, revealing a white wolf tattoo. He was the captain of the robbery team and his actions were very cruel.
Before leaving, he asked his men to kill all the male prisoners they captured and take the women back to Denmark and sell them to a pair of brother nobles.
Malm was among them.
Both brothers fell in love with Malm's beauty and forced her to sleep with them.
With the hope of returning to his hometown, Malm pretended to cater to him, and actually succeeded in forcing the brothers to turn against each other and take the opportunity to escape.
She held a piece of driftwood and drifted in the evil sea. She didn't know how she survived. When she regained consciousness, she fell into several small islands east of Northumbria and was discovered by a fisherman who went out to sea.
The fisherman didn't touch himself, he just wanted some money to redeem his daughter and wife who were captured by the nobles.
Malm begged him to take her back and was willing to help the fisherman.
Unexpectedly, after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, after arriving at the palace, Malm's appearance made her stepmother and sister angry. Her father Ella had just held a memorial service and didn't know how to deal with it.
Coupled with the rumors from other palace knights, it was finally decided to accuse the fisherman and kill him directly.
Fortunately, there are four sisters who help to fulfill the fisherman's last wish...
Malm read a few words of "holy words", hoping that the fisherman could rest in peace in heaven.
Then a few tears fell on the table... If God can hear, even though the door is closed, can you open a window for yourself?
A window of hope…
