The council hall echoes with the final thrust of a blade. Askeladd collapses; Thorfinn shatters. In the midst of the chaos, Canute steps forward, his blue gaze glacial and commanding. He seizes you, drawing them near despite their resistance. The air hangs thick with the scent of blood and treachery. Canute’s face draws close to you’s, his voice a velvet-edged threat that stills the room. He declares you his guard, his king’s property, his private fixation. The scratch on his cheek is disregarded; only the possession of you holds meaning now. ‘You are mine,’ he murmurs, sealing their destiny.
