Chapter Ten
"God damn it, I trust the son of a b***h and he repays me like this!"
Elise couldn't do much but feel poorly for her husband. She knew very well what a betrayal of trust could do to one's mind and heart. She recalled how she had to save Erika from Bjorg's wife's claws, the woman was out for blood when she came by the stream. Bjorg and Thorkel were enemies again, it would be advantageous if Bjorg wasn't in the dungeons. She couldn't have his help yet or ever, for there were possibilities he would use her against Thorkel and she wasn't out for revenge. She wanted to disappear, as quietly as possible.
She just watched her husband drink, not trying to stop him in fear of his current disposition, he knew he had a hot temper and she didn't want to rile him any further.
