Part One

Narrator.

-… What is the last thing you heard from the queen? -.

-Few things… hardly anyone dares to speak ill of her-.

-She somehow became what she swore she wouldn't become-. Both women were working in the village garden.

-I remember now-.

- What thing? -.

-I heard my husband say that in an invasion she had killed a baby and her entire family for opposing her mandate-.

-I also heard my son say that she doesn't even take care of her children, that everything is done by Eyra and that she really doesn't even love them-. They disapprove of the behavior of the queen of the town that is now the capital of the Norse empire.

-The princess and the prince will have their birthday tomorrow-.

-Two years, right? -.

-Yes, they told me that she is not even going to attend their celebration… (the woman stops) Would King Aren have liked her to act like this? -.

-No, I assure you that no, not even the great Gerd would have liked it...-.
