Chapter 485: Chat with King Faelcar
When the Norse soldiers fully entered the city of Dun Dealgan, they quickly subdued the enemy warriors who had surrendered.
Because they represented a danger to all of them, after this the army advanced towards the inner walls, which were completely empty.
So they were able to enter without problems towards the royal palace whose construction was quite strange.
In his office, King Faelcar watched the Norse soldiers approach the castle. He knew that all his efforts had been in vain because he did not know how the Norse had entered the city.
“I guess this is the end, brother. I want you to know that I always hate you. However, because you are my brother I never killed you, but I guess that doesn’t matter much at this time.
I only hope that life gives you better opportunities because I am sure that they will kill us and we will be used as a reminder for having fought against them…”
At that moment, they could hear the noises of the battle that was unfolding in the lower part of the palace, where the elite warriors were quickly slain.
After a few minutes and some roars heard by the firearms that were detonated, the doors of the office were opened.
Entering inside some soldiers with strange clothing which was green pointed strange weapons against them.
King Faelcar simply raised his hands, as he did not intend to fight against a group of soldiers who were armed with a weapon that he did not recognize.
One of the special forces soldiers approached King Faelcar. “Are you King Faelcar?”
Faelcar sighed and looked at the soldier sadly. “It was King Faelcar, but since my city fell and possibly my kingdom also I am just another person without any kind of power.”
One of the special forces soldiers left the room to inform Einar about the capture of King Faelcar alive.
In a few minutes Einar arrived at the office with Dreide and Darren, King Faelcar, seeing the face of his son knew how the pagans had entered the city.
“Darren, you know that you have betrayed your city and your family. I thought I had given you a good life and the only thing I receive is a traitor.
I knew I had to kill you with your mother; I think bastards are nothing more than problems, a useless brother who only thinks about saving his life and a traitorous son. “
Faelcar then shifted his gaze from him to the young redhead. “But I can assume that my stupid son should only have accepted because you have a great ability to convince people.
Well, sometimes he’s so foolish that even I can’t make him change his mind, so King Einar what do you want to do with me.
I suppose that having me alive should not be of much use to you since you must have conquered the entire kingdom, and even if you did not, I can assure you that my presence will not change the state of the war.
I can assume that many of the defenders of the baronies’ castles must have simply revealed themselves, so I highly doubt that they will follow the orders of a captured king.
So what can an old man do for you? I don’t think my presence will help him surrender to the Irish coalition army, either.
Because my daughter is leading all our forces of the kingdom in that army, so she is already the queen and I am just a pawn without powers. “
Einar laughed. “I am only interested in knowing where the meeting of the kings and the army is taking place because I will be in charge of facing them head-on.
That they have a large army does not mean that they are superior. I will show all of them that my army is more than powerful to be able to end all their hopes.
Although my only regret is that I am going to have to kill children and women, however it will not be my decision that they die. “
Faelcar laughed and looked at Einar in disbelief. “Sorry for not being able to contain my laughter but what you said caused me some irony.
You can lament the death of children and women, but you do not hesitate to conquer everything in your path. I suppose you are an idiot or a hypocrite.
Or that you are young. I see that you still have much to learn. As a king, you should never regret the decisions you make. “
Einar sighed and closed his eyes as he raised his arms. “Don’t get me wrong, what I do is for mere revenge and to help my father-in-law.
The deaths in this war, or when I conquer the island of Brittany will only be numbers. If I have to burn a city to ashes with its inhabitants, I will.
For it would not be the first city that destroyed in such a horrible way, my lamentation by killing the children and women.
It is that all of them could have served my kingdom quite well as slaves to increase my population, in this place and any other that I conquer. Only the population is important to me.
The more people I have, the more possibilities I will have to achieve my goals. “
Faelcar, upon hearing that looked at Einar seriously “I see. I think I was wrong in my words, but I suppose that does not matter at this time.
I will answer your question. The last thing I remember is that the army is gathering at the Bangor barony in the kingdom of Ulster.
However, I have a favor to ask you not as a king, but as a father. When the battle ends and you win. I hope you can spare my daughters’ lives, no matter if they lose their nobility.
As long as they can live, I can rest in peace. “
Einar looked seriously at Faelcar. “Very well I will fulfill that promise, however fulfilling the promise with your son the destiny of your life will depend on his decision.
Darren, you can do whatever you want with your father. “
Darren glared at his father with hatred and took out a dagger that Einar had given him. After walking and standing in front of his father, he buried the dagger in his heart.
Ending his life in that way as quickly as possible “I wanted to make you suffer, but it would not be worth my time because I would also be insulting the memory of my mother.
I just hope you go straight to hell you fucking son of a bitch. “
