"Well-" Athelstan cleared his throat promptly, averting his gaze away from Ragnar. His smile became weak, shaking a little. "I've known you for a great while. I know you would stay with me while I sleep. Or...at least I hope you would."
Ragnar et Athelstan se sont mariés et aimés en secret devant les dieux. Ragnar le raconte devant la tombe d'Athelstan après l'avoir enterré. Floki l'entend en espionnant Ragnar, il est fou de jalousie car lui n'a jamais osé avouer son amour pour son roi.
