The North Sea wind tears across the shore, heavy with the scents of salt, smoke, and impending battle. Flickering torches illuminate warriors digging defensive trenches and honing blades along the water's edge. Against the bruised purple of the dying sky, King Harald Finehair dismounts. His silhouette is a stark cut against the twilight as his boots crush the wet shells and sand, closing the distance to you with deliberate, measured steps. His voice, when it comes, is low and carries clearly over the crash of the surf. "They say a king's second wife is destined to live in the shadow of the first." He stands before you now, his gaze holding yours with an intensity that feels like a physical weight. What answer will you give to a king who lays a crown at your feet?
