Chapter 112 by Caesar25 Caesar25

What's next?

Throw her in prison

Lily: Keep her bound and bring her to the camp. I have a friend in high nobility who will ensure she will never see sunlight again!

Robert and Astrid: But she's too dangerous to be left alive!

Lily: Maybe... But we are better than her, we won't be hurting our prisoners! She will pay for her crimes slowly over a very long time...

Robert: As you wish.

The Vikings untie the ropes fixing Sofia to the pole and drag her back to their camp. Later on that day, one of your knights wishes to give you a message. Sofia wants to speak with you in private before she is taken away. Wondering what she might want to say, you reluctantly accept and visit her. She is bound to a chair in a tent at the centre of the camp. You remove the gag from her mouth so that she could speak.

Sofia: You came... How the turntables... I remember when you were in a similar position as I am now... And I was the one pulling the cards...

Lily: Those days are over, if that's all you had to say, I'll gag you again and go.

Sofia: Not so fast...! Earlier today... you spared my life... I wasn't expecting such kindness from anybody after the things I have done.

Lily: I didn't say you deserved it! I just wanted to prove I'm better than you could ever be.

Sofia: And you did... Now I see how wrong I was... I do not ask for forgiveness, nor I wish to confess my sins to you now. I only wanted to let you know the location of the convent where I hold the **** girls.

Lily: And why would you do that...?

Sofia: Because perhaps this is going to be the last thing I can do to others in my life. I better do the right thing while I still can...

Lily: Okay, I'm listening. But I won't release you just for this little good deed!

Sofia: Nor was I expecting you to. There is a pathway that leads southeast from the city. Follow it along until it crosses a river. Then, go upstream and you will find the place. The way will be covered in snow and it will be very difficult to reach. It's virtually unguarded, as the girls have been broken long ago, they wouldn't dare to attempt to escape. Here, you have what you need.

Lily: Thank you. I'll free them and return them into society once again.

Sofia: That might be unwise, they have long forgotten their true selves.

Lily: I'll decide about that! But before I go, I have one more question...

Sofia: Ask.

Lily: Do you have the Orb of Odin?

Sofia: Yes... It's in the convent too. You won't miss it. I was on my way there to take it to the Shepherd myself, but I failed... He would have given me a far worse ending for my failure, than this one, so I should be the one thankful to you!

Lily: Who is the Shepherd?

Sofia: You will know when you meet him... This, I won't tell you. You have all you need, I have nothing else to say.

Lily: I see... In this case... Farewell.

You gag her again and leave the tent to tell the others what she said. They take it with a bit of a suspicion, but without other leads, they believe her words.

Robert: Okay, so we know the location... What to do with her now...?

Astrid: She will be killed of course! But not before I have verified her words and found the orb!

Lily: Right, the orb...

Astrid: You will have your noble women freed and I'll get my orb, a fair deal for us all! Remember, I'm in this country for one reason... I don't want a cut from any plunder we find, only that thing!

Lily: Alright, you may have it.

Dercia (whispering): If you allow her to take the orb back to the north, you may never see it again... Without it, the country will be extremely hard to unify!

Lily (whispering): Yes, I'm aware that...! We'll see how thing unfold and decide about it later!

Lily: I don't want her killed, I promised her to spend the rest of her days in captivity and I stand by my decision!

Astrid: Ah, we should have killed her when we had the chance! If she slips away again, I won't ask for your permission to cut her throat!

Lily: Agreed. Let's go, we have no time to waste, lives are at stake!

Robert: Alright. To the convent then!
