Ivar smiled at the response but looked forward as he walked. He had known that there was a chance Pandora could protest but when she didn’t, he was very pleased. Aaslaug was happy to see him and when he presented the new wife, she didn’t seem as phased as a mother might have been. She had, after all, been the second wife herself and it had panned out very well for her.
Nikita was along for the ride, she smiled when she needed to smile, she bowed when she needed to bow, and simply took in the new place she would now come to call home. She felt Pandora’s eyes on her, but she didn’t feel the threat. Not with her confidence to hold her own and keep a man pleased.
She sat beside Ivar at the great feast to welcome the men home while Pandora sat on the other side, a position that left Ivar feeling like quite the king. He was, after all the one that took after their father the most. He simply saw his brothers as unable to maintain two women at the same time in such a fashion, but he intended to prove that he had such an ability.
