The wagon lurches violently over a stone, throwing long, shuddering shadows across the wooden interior. Thorfinn sits coiled and still, his dark gaze locked on Prince Canute, who trembles as he presses himself behind Ragnar’s broad back. The air is dense and still, charged with a quiet menace. Thorfinn’s silent scrutiny alone has reduced the royal heir to a frightened, shrinking figure. You occupy the space beside the warrior, your assignment a precarious balance: temper the brute’s aggression while ensuring the fragile prince remains unharmed.
