The Sage of Einar

Laura who was holding a small flower in her hand looked at it with pleasure and started looking for more flowers among the snow.

Aila who was also helping her saw with curiosity the basket full of yellow flowers in Laura's hand.

"Laura, how did you know that there were flowers in this place in winter?"

Laura stopped for a moment and wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Mom always brought me to this place in winter, she said when they came to the island years ago.

She and dad looked for good places to plant but instead, they found this beautiful hillside which is bad for planting but good for producing flowers.

I just hope Mommy Kassia and Mommy Helmi like these flowers, they may not be the prettiest in spring, but they are quite beautiful. "

Aila laughed and picked up a beautiful yellow flower that had a very nice rounded figure among the snow on the ground.

"I am sure that you will love the flowers because with them they will make two beautiful crowns that they will wear tomorrow.

Also, they have never treated you as a stranger, you are an important pillar for them and Einar.

You may even be a daughter to them. "

Laura who was quite happy for Aila's words turned around with her hands behind her back as she smiled at her.

"I am sure that Papa Einar and my mothers will take care of me and the rest of the children like me.

That is why I will never do anything to harm them and I will always do my best to try to protect them because they are my family.

Even in the future I will study and work hard to be able to help the tribe as a way of gratitude for all the support they have given me.

But now that you asked me, teacher Aila, you lost your family or you miss someone in particular. "

Aila stopped for a moment and took a deep breath, "My mother left me at the monastery when I was just a child and only told me that my father was trying to hurt me.

During all that time, I was living in that monastery among the monks who always behaved very well to me and never did me any harm.

But those who took care of me in the monastery were Duncan and Angus, they both took care of me like my parents, that is why with them, with me.

I don't think I need the rest of the monastery because they are the only family I need. As for my mother, I don't hate her, but I don't feel love for her.

I appreciate her saving me from my father but not being close to me I just don't even remember her that's why I just can't love her. "

Laura looked curious as Aila had some tears in her eyes which she began to wipe away "But I think we should stop talking about me and better finish picking the flowers because we have to give them to Elin to make the crowns."

After collecting a large quantity of yellow, red, and white flowers, Aila and Laura walked towards the village through the beautiful frozen landscape of Iceland.

Upon reaching the town, they found numerous slaves and people preparing everything necessary for the wedding ceremony since he was the son of Jarl as well as the herald of the tribe.

It would be a public event without mentioning that the daughter of the Godi of the town and the only healer of the tribe would be their wives, so they were all helping with whatever they needed.

One of those who was helping was the Godi Asgot, who was supervising that everything was placed correctly.

"Move correctly those boxes that should hold the wedding decorations.

The slave that are detained, move to the great hall and ask for three axes to cut wood for the fire that my son will need to prepare the food. "

After yelling for a while, Asgot took a break while he sat on a small tensegrity bench that Einar had made for him.

It was at that moment that he could feel a hand on his shoulder "You're nervous about your daughter Asgot's wedding."

Asgot shook his head and looked at Sven who was still next to him, "We both knew that our children would be a couple since they were children.

The two of them got along very well and I appreciate that as most of the kids always pushed my daughter aside because of her albinism.

But I think that does not matter since it belongs to the past and most of those children died in the sea disaster while others are simply members of the tribe.

Although now that I wonder you should be more nervous as Kassia will also be Einar's wife. "

Sven laughed and stroked his beard, "On the contrary, I am extremely happy that I will have a lot of grandchildren.

But you know Asgot, despite everything I have the hope and the assurance that Einar will do things we never imagined.

Providing that our future grandchildren and great-grandchildren have a better quality of life, on or off this island we call home. "

Asgot who had already crossed his arms nodded silently as he watched as everyone worked.

When Aila and Laura entered the great hall, they were immediately greeted by Felipa who helped them collect the flowers they were carrying in the baskets.

"Little Laura, you should go with Daven and the rest of the children because you have to train to play the music for the wedding.

Aila would like you to also help tidy up the little children since we are working with my mother and Helmi's dress. "

Aila and Helmi looked at each other in silence, and with smiles, they went to their respective places while Felipa entered Einar's room.

Where she could see her mother Kassia and Helmi wearing strange underwear while Einar sat on a chair staring at them.

"Einar, what is that my mother and Helmi have on their breasts, it makes them look more voluptuous and somehow I feel that they hold them."

Einar smiled mischievously and rose from his chair as he walked toward Kassia.

Arriving in front of her, he used his hands to traverse the outline of the strange clothing that held Kassia's breasts.

"This clothing is called a bra, it works to protect the nipples and help to carry the breast of women, it also allows to lift the bust giving a more revealing and attractive appearance.

It took me a long time to do it because every woman is unique, so I had to analyze the size of Kassia and Helmi's breasts to get something functional.

Not to mention, I also taught them how to do it so when the wedding is over tomorrow you can ask Kassia or Helmi to help you make one.

But since they are very necessary for women, the creation of them within the tribe will not be prohibited even if they are to be sold to foreign merchants.

Only the Jarl family will be able to trade with them, the day after tomorrow at the Thing conference they will talk about it. "

Felipa laughed and walked towards Einar as she wanted to see in more detail the beautiful bra that was holding her mother's breasts.

"I think I understand a little why my mother and Helmi fell in love with you, you can make women and men happy alike.

But how about you go help Sven and let me talk to my mother and Helmi alone?

I don't think you want to hear the women's talk we're having. "

Einar raised his hands and lowered his head in defeat so before leaving he gave his two wives a kiss and left the room.

When the door closed, Felipa looked at her mother as if she were a child.

"Mother, could you make me a bra like the one you have, I'm sure Peder will like it ..."

It was then that the three women began to speak and while they did, the door to the room opened and Elin entered who also joined the conversation.

Einar who was already outside looked at Peder who was a bit tired because he had been guarding the door of the great hall all morning.

So he decided to get closer because he knew from Kassia that Felipa was starting a relationship with him and as a future stepfather he had to get to know his son-in-law better.

Peder only noticed Einar when he patted him on the shoulder, so he raised his face and looked nervously at Einar.

"Herald Einar, is there something that can help you ..."

Einar laughed and gave Peder a compassionate look, "You don't have to be so nervous, I just wanted to talk to my future son-in-law, you should know that I don't interfere in any of the decisions that Felipa makes.

Well, although I will be her stepfather, I am not interested in controlling her life; she has her own destiny in her hands, that is the only thing I ask you to remember.

Do not impose any restrictions on her because she is not owned by anyone, she is a free woman like you or me.

Can you promise me that, Peder? "

Peder who realized what Einar was talking about ignored all his doubts and hit his chest.

"I promise for Odin and for you herald that I will never harm or force Felipa to do something she does not want."

Hearing this, Einar showed a face of satisfaction so, hugging Peder's neck, he led her towards the great hall.

"You should take a break, what do you say if you join me for a drink of herbal liqueur."

Losing who could not refuse decided to follow the herald Einar because he knew that no one would tell him something if he did.
