The Son Of Ragnar

Chapter 299 The Past Of Tyr Ragnarsson PT.4

?

Tyr was standing against Azenzêr but there was no time to fight because then, the other would catch up to them but why was Azenzêr not drawing his sword? 

"You are saving her…" Azenzêr muttered under his breath as he realized what Tyr had to sacrifice to even think about doing something so outrageous.

For the first time in years, Tyr saw his older brother smile. 

"Hahaha, I wish I could have thought of this," Azenzêr muttered as he slowly walked up to a smiling Kahina. 

"Can I join this game?" Azenzêr asked while stroking her afro hair, Tyr was surprised by this reaction considering the kind of person he was. 

"Yes!" Kahina said excitedly.

"But I want to add a new rule," Azenzêr requested and Kahina poured before looking at Tyr, asking for his permission nonverbally because he was the one that made the game up, not her. 

"It is fine, go ahead Kahina," Tyr gave the go-ahead.

"Okay! You may add one rule but only one rule!" Kahina said, still pouting and Azenzêr smiled.

She was so pure, he looked at Tyr before returning his gaze to Kahina. 

"You must keep quiet and listen to everything your brother says," Azenzêr said.

"Go…" Azenzêr commanded as he could hear the footsteps getting closer and closer. 

Tyr did not question him because he knew this action that he just took was probably the hardest he has made in his life but this was just how important family was, it had the power to shift loyalty. 

Tyr grabbed her and ran into the distance, with Azenzêr staying behind to mislead their pursuers. 

He ran in a completely different direction, shouting. 

"This way! I have found them!" Azenzêr screamed at the top of his lungs and it worked, everyone followed him. And it was because of this single act from Azenzêr that they could escape. 

-

Tyr was in the clear with Kahina, they had managed to escape thanks to his older brother and there was no catching them as they had travelled quite far but Tyr was soon reminded that he was travelling with a child as she stopped in her tracks. 

She was tired and hungry, and Kahina was a spoiled kid that got anything she wanted, Tyr knew it would take some getting used to readjust to her current lifestyle but this was the least of his concern right now, he wanted to escape from her as soon as possible.

He needed more distance but he had no choice but to rest. 

Tyr scavenge for food for his younger sister because he knew she would be hungry, that was one thing he could not allow as they still had a long way to travel. 

Tyr knew that his brother could only do so much, and eventually, they were like pick up on their trail.

And unlike them, stamina was not his ally so he was at a huge disadvantage.

He knew if they caught up to him, there was nothing he could do because Tyr was a firm believer in the gods so he dared not pray to them or things might get worse. 

Luckily, he found a snake, which he killed and skinned for his sister to eat after roasting it with fire. 

It was not enough to go around because Kahina had a huge appetite.

After eating, she rested on his lap and dozed off, having no idea just how serious the situation was because this was all a game in her mind but this was also why she was so calm. 

Tyr knew he could not afford to sleep because it was not only humans he needed to worry about but animals as well.

He could not sleep with the fire on either or he risked them finding him, something he could not afford.

The cold was something else but Tyr knew he could use his body as a source of warmth for Kahina and he did just that. 

-

The night passed peacefully and at the first hint of sunrise, Azenzêr was back at their camp but there was no luck in finding his siblings. 

No one suspected that he helped them get away because they knew what he had sacrificed himself so questioning his loyalty would be the ultimate disrespect but it was indeed strange that a boy, deemed the best hunter could not find Tyr or Kahina. 

Two children that somehow expertly covered their tracks? There was something else at play here. 

Azenzêr was called into the room where his father and the Shamans waited as they had some questions for him. 

He was the one that they handed the monitoring duties to, he was the one that was in charge of making sure something like this did not happen yet it happened so easily. 

No one saw Tyr or Kahina sneaking out, it was almost like there was no one watching them to begin with but this was not the case as it was revealed that the security placed there had been killed and their corpses hidden. Tyr might have been the one responsible considering he was a skilled assassin that his father trusted him enough to carry out high-profile killings but the timeframe was all wrong.

There was no way he would kill one person without the others sounding the alarm meaning this was done by someone that they could let their guard down around. 

All fingers were pointing to Azenzêr but he did not mind this because that was all this was, fingers. 

There was no concrete evidence but his father instinctively knew with a single look in his eyes and Azenzêr was aware that his father knew.

But that was the thing, his father hated shame above all else and because of this, he feigned ignorance to save not the face of his son but the face of his family. 

Azenzêr was dismissed and he did not have a single thread of regret in his heart whatsoever.

Now, it was all up to his younger brother because he had done everything he possibly can to help them with this, he never had an

y intention of letting Kahina be killed.
