Birger found himself on the back foot as the men that once served him moved to seize him.
Ragnar knew things were not adding up and had no intentions of letting Askild have his way.
"Stop this," Ragnar said, but the men did not stop in their attempts to restrain him.
But a glance at Ragnar stopped them in their tracks, and Ragnar walked beside Birger.
He knew Birger was not stupid enough to gather them here if he was just going to tell them a lie.
Askild always had a sweet mouth, Ragnar knew Askild was lying because if anything, Erik's loyalty to Askild made his words even truer despite Askild denying it.
Ragnar looked at Erik before looking at Askild.
"That is enough, we are here for Erik The Berserker, not Birger. You may do that after I have Erik's head," Ragnar said, the playful Ragnar was serious because this situation called for it.
