DCXXIV. The Bark

"King Einar will arrive in Jernhest right after us, Gridd... do you know this?" Karl asked, holding the reins of the horse borrowed from the Crows Of Odin in Skjegg's city stable.

"And so what? What do you mean?" the Shieldmaiden replied with superiority.

"I'm just saying that the information about Dag and our adventure at Krypstorm could be altered by the King, who obviously has more credibility than we do, who are just warriors serving the Clans..." 

"The King doesn't care about Dag... my brother's name will never even be pronounced... he is only interested in claiming Krypstorm under the rule of the crown. He will say that thanks to a winning strategy, he has managed to reach the land of perennial ice and conquer a fort that will serve as a support point for the next missions... a lot of bullshit, of course..." Gridd answered, looking forward and trying to imagine the scene.
