The Son Of Ragnar

Chapter 240 Scheming Behind Closed Doors

"Commander Bjorn," A man called out to Bjorn, it was the same man that reported to him earlier that he had to keep shut with a bribe.

Bjorn carried him to an abandoned alleyway because he knew it would not be a good look if anyone saw the two men together.

This man was known for sketchy businesses but Bjorn did not mind this because the information was the one thing that he had to sell and boy, did he sell it well.

"What do you have for me?" Bjorn asked, this was something he should not be seen doing, even by his men because any information he 'bought' would be 'forgotten' by the man quite literally.

"I cannot remember…" The man said, scratching his head but Bjorn knew this was code for payment.

He looked left and right before slipping something into his hand, it was gold in its purest form, and this surprised the man as Bjorn had never given him something as valuable as this before.

"W-Woah! You struck gold recently, Commander Bjorn?" The man questioned but Bjorn was simply in a good mood because of his father's arrival so he decided to make this man a recipient of that excitement.

"Tell me what I need to know, Scar," Bjorn said, he did not have time to veer off-topic because he wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.

"We have confirmed reports of Signy sending troops to an unspecified location but he did not just send his men…" Scar said, pausing as he observed the gold, momentarily getting lost in thought.

"What do you mean he did not just send his men?" Bjorn questioned and this drew Scar's attention back to the conversation at hand.

"He has sent his generals, Kjell as well as Aksel to this location," Scar said l, and Bjorn's eyes widened in shock.

Why was he sending generals in the middle of nowhere, especially with the weather in such a dire condition? It made Bjorn question just what was going on in Vingulmark, he knew that whatever Signy was up to, it just might lead him to Tyr.

Bjorn wanted to reunite with Tyr, the only brother he has known and loved, so he could kill him with his own hands.

Viggo soon interrupted the men talking, he strutted along ever so proudly and the conversation immediately ceased the moment they registered his presence.

This told Viggo that they were discussing something of your importance, but the unkempt man did not care that they stopped as he wrapped his arm around Scar.

"If it is not Scar, the ears of mercenaries…" Viggo said, looking at Bjorn with a suspicious gaze because his commander had no reason to be talking with someone of such a reputation for it was a bad reflection of him.

Scar has proved invaluable to Askild thanks to his ability to gather information but his services came with a price.

He particularly wanted to be on the good side of Bjorn because he was the son of a King.

No one knew where Bjorn was going to end up in the future but they would like to be remembered as an ally rather than a foe.

"Let's go commander, you should not be hanging around rats," Viggo said, removing his arm from Scar and walking away, Bjorn knew Viggo was right and did not say another word to Scar, following behind Viggo.

"For someone that claims to hate his brother, you sure are obsessing over him," Viggo blurted out, he knew what they were talking about without even hearing them because there was only one reason Bjorn would want to talk to Scar.

"You do not know what you are talking about, Viggo…" Bjorn said and Viggo only chuckled upon hearing this.

He knew exactly what he was talking about.

-

Jan had assembled the army of Vingulmark, they were on high alert ever since Vestfold announced that they were re-entering an alliance with Kattrgat.

But this was not what was strange but rather the fact that King Rugalf had tried to make contact with them.

They rejected his attempt to make contact because King Rugalf's strength was unknown and they only had stories to judge his strength.

They were also aware of his close ties with Ragnar Lothbrok.

Signy walked around the kingdom, he was a man of high status so it was only natural that he was sexually active but there was one woman he wanted more than most and that was Aslaug.

He was among the people that had requested her hand in marriage but he had lost his crown and his kingdom so it was highly unlikely that she would choose him.

Signy knew if he regained what he lost, he may have a chance at her hand.

Jan watched the young man orchestrate his plan, he was curious to see how his story would unfold because the stories in which he heard about Tyr were nothing short of spectacular.

"Signy, what do you intend to do after you kill Tyr? I am afraid if you kill him that King Ragnar would not sit still. I do not have the men to contend with his army," Jan said bluntly, he did not act like he could take Ragnar because pretending he could was stupid.

Making an enemy out of him to settle a vendetta was even dumber because it felt like Signy had truly lost Vestfold as Ragnar had the citizens on his side.

"Jan, do you forget your place now?" Signy asked and Jan kept quiet not because he was scared but astonished by how much Signy had grown.

He had fostered his rage for four years and he was about to release it all on Tyr Ragnarsson.

The boy that took everything from him.

"Hahaha! Of course not, I trust you have a way to kill King Ragnar…" Jan said in a dismissive tone but he did not believe the words that came out of his mind.

"I do," Signy responded with a stern look on his face, and this answer clearly stunned Jan.
