A Plan to End a Battle

"Where the bloody blazes are you off to, Julius? And where did Erica go?" Harald asked.

"Didn't I tell you already that I am keeping her safe? Have I not told you anything about making sure she is protected?" Julius asked.

"And didn't I tell you to leave her alone? You may be a legendary warrior, but you still stand with me in this battle. Let me tell you this, you have a wife, and I have a wife. You have a daughter, and I have a son. We both have reasons to protect those we care about and now is the time to prove to them we will make sure they stay alive. I'll also let you know this, my wife is not for the taking, and you will not lay a single scratch on my son."
