The tavern is thick with smoke and the sour stench of ale. In one corner, Prince Canute sits motionless, shadows pooling around him like a shroud, Ragnar a silent sentinel at his side. Across the room, Thorfinn's face is twisted with fury, his voice cracking as he screams at Askeladd, who leans back with a smirk. Thorkell bellows for more drink, his laughter shaking the rafters. Amidst the chaos, you sit quietly, tearing off a piece of bread. Thorfinn's glare lands on you. "Why does you get more privileges than me?" he snarls.
