 Ragnar smirked at the words of his king. Of course he'd known that Roan would want him to be the one for this position, but it felt good to hear these words of trust. Having someone to trust was hard to come by in such a position as Roan's but still indispensable. During the former prince's banishment, Ragnar had been sure to have his men know that anyone who harmed the exhiled member of their royal family, may it be by hurting him physically or betraying him, would face the hardest of punishments. Fortunately there had only been two cases in which the warrior had had to make his threat a reality, but those who'd been the target of his anger hadn't lived to tell the story.
„I'd be honored to take this position, but you have to understand my king, that I'll have to return to my village every once in a while. There are those whom I trust to run it in my absence, but as I said before, there's noone I trust more than myself.“, he explained as he sat in one of the chairs in a relaxed position. „Except for you of course your highness!“, he added, flashing one of his trademark grins.

 One of the king's greatest concerns was that his people would perceive him as the same kind of ruler as his mother. Azgeda's former queen had searched to overthrow the other clans and had tortured and killed every individual crossing her path that didn't want to bend to her will, no matter if it was a member of her own people or a stranger. Ragnar knew that their new king was very different from such a dictatorship. He certainly wasn't so naive as to not know that he had to keep his people in line, but he was a wise and fair ruler in Ragnar's opinion.
Ragnar lowered his head in a very discreet bow and slid his sword back into its sheath, standing up straight. „I understand your concerns with your mother's legacy, but trust me, anyone with a sound mind can see that you are nothing like her.“, he said and briefly touched his king's shoulder.
The warrior crossed the distance to a nearby table and picked up the cup he'd left there a few moments ago and draining it of its potent contents, letting out a pleased sigh as the liquid slightly burned his asophagus.
„It will be a great honour to fight for you and our people and I'll do my best not to disappoint. I trust we have enough armor and weapons to chose from so I can prepare myself?“, he conitnued, raising his eyebrows questioningly at Roan. He tore a piece off the loaf of bread sitting on the table and threw a chunk of it into his mouth as he waited for the king's reply.

Ragnar stood near the entrance to the king's room, his hands folded over the hilt of his long sword, its tip resting on the floor. He listened to Roan's little speech and his eyes kept being drawn to the king's hand as it rested on his side where he'd been injured. From the moment the king had suggested the final conclave, Ragnar had known that Roan wanted to fight for his people and he'd also known that he wouldn't let him go through with it. His steel blue eyes followed the royal as he kept talking about honor, something as important to Ragnar as any other Azgeda fighter but this just seemed ridiculous somehow, even though he would never say that this bluntly to the king's face.
„With all due respect your majesty, but this is very unwise. Fighting with your injuries will bring you and our people no honor, it's simply suicide.“, he stated very matter-of-factly and stepped forward, holding his sword up with the blade resting on his raised hands.
„As one of your closest advisors and honestly one of Azgeda's best fighters, I'll gladly go into battle for my king and our people.“, Ragnar offered with that trademark soft smirk on his face.

Ragnar stood up straight when the king told him to, his hand resting where his sword hung on his belt. One of the king's younger warriors wanted to relieve him of his weapon before entering the royal's dwelling, but the older fighters knew enough of the Village Chief to push the young man back and give Ragnar a nod, telling him he could walk on with his sword by his side. The Grounder himself had killed one of his own villagers who had openly spoken against their newly established king and the Chief's loyalty to him and he guessed that word had gotten around. He took a sip from the cup of Ale that was given to him by one of the king's men and listened to the monarch's words. He thought he recognized the suggestions underlying his words that Ragnar might take on the role of an advisor himself, but he wasn't sure so he kept his words innocent.
„Well, there's noone in my village that I trust more than myself, but I'm a sceptic person to be honest.“, he explained with that usual hint of a smirk on his lips. „But there are two or three warriors in my domain that might have enough experience and knowledge of tactics to advise you.“, he added and sat down on one of the wooden chairs close to the king's throne. It was true that there were many strong and loyal fighters among his warriors who seemed to respect him, but Ragnar's mind often worked ten steps ahead, imagining ways that his fighters could betray him. This kept him from fully trusting most of the fighters he surrounded himself with which could be an advantage and a weakness at the same time. The advantage was that he wasn't as easily tricked as others might be, but it could also hinder him from grabbing opportunities when it came to making allies.

The warrior had never agreed with the banishment of their prince, although of course he would never have dared voice his opinions out loud. Even as a respected Village Chief, one could never know if there might be ears around listening to each of his words and trying to catch something that could be used against him. Those people he trusted enough to lay his life down for could be counted on one hand so he was careful about each one of his sentences when he wasn't sure who might be listening.
The king's messenger had been spotted by the archers posted around the village's limit. They'd raised their bows, arrows already strung up for their flight towards their target, ready to be released at a gesture of his hand. Once Ragnar saw the king's emblem, he'd made his men stand down with a downward motion of his right hand. The dark horse had stopped at the gate inside the town's fencing and the rider had bowed his had slightly when Ragnar had faced him. This wasn't the first time he'd met the messenger and he'd started by showing his hospitality, making sure the man was fed and had a chance to rest. As soon as the rider delivered his message about king Roan wanting to see him, Ragnar had one of the fighters in training pack some provisions and told two of his warriors to get ready for the ride ahead. He instructed his second to take over the leadership while he was gone and one hour later, the group was on their way.
They rode through the night, only taking short stops to water their horses and get some fluids into themselves. Ragnar jumped off his horse as soon as they arrived at their destination, handing the reigns to one of his men before heading off to the king's domain.
„My king!“, he spoke out when he spotted the monarch and got down on one knee, bowing his head in submission.

From the very first day of his life, Ragnar was destined to be a great warrior. As soon as he could walk, his father had him start his training and most hours of his life were dedicated to being taught how to fight and how to lead an army and work out strategies to triumph over his opponents. His father once was the Chief of their small Azgeda village and Ragnar became Second to the new Chief when his father was killed in battle. He worked hard and proved his worth although he was faced with a lot of heartache.
His beloved wife had already given him a daughter and when she was with child again, he was sure that she would bear a son. Both she and their unborn child were taken from him though and the only thing he could do was becoming more savage toward Ice Nation's enemies. His chances to show his enemies the magnitute of his clan's strength became even greater when his Chief was killed in battle and he was made the new Chief of his village. He knew that this position came with a great responsibility but he'd trained his whole life to take on such a task.
