00:06you are Odin's beloved firstborn daughter he himself handed down the Oracle to ordain this
00:12you what right did I have to refuse if not and I would have been together long ago just then
00:21calm yet utterly frigid voice rang out from the entrance of Valhalla your father will never get
00:25the chance to know it was good room what does she mean I opened the rift between Asgard and
00:32Jotunheld Nivdog has chewed through the deep roots of Yoggdalra right now Odin is fighting for his life
00:38atop the biflok battling to keep the nine realims from falling the throne of Asgard has needed a new
00:43master for far too long ten years and I never realized how deeply my husband hated me if I
00:49could live it again I would never choose him you have always favored Valder if he can make
00:56my beloved daughter happy then choose him no father what is it my child I will not choose Valder I
01:06choose
01:09him him in the millennial holy war between Asgard and Jotunheim we had faced each other spear to spear
01:15clashing endlessly across the starry void his movements had been fluid and loose with a single
01:21strike of his scepter he sent my morning star spear flying from my grasp the frigid tip of his stack
01:25pressed to my throat I had been bent over a newly bloomed star blossom and when he materialized silently
01:30behind me he snapped his fingers and the flower withered in an instant I had baked a honey star blossom
01:36pie with my own two hands Loki had dropped out of nowhere snatched the pie clean out of my hands
01:41Loki Brunwilla are you certain you have been sworn enemies your whole lives I have made my decision I
01:48choose Loki walked out of the selection hall with regal composure the white jade square outside the hall
01:57had long been packed with the Acer gods your highness Brunpin who have you chosen is that even a
02:02question it has to be Valder everyone in Asgard knows how long your highness has loved him if
02:07there's one person her highness would never choose it's Loki they tear the realm apart every time they
02:13meet how could she possibly pick him as her sacred marriage partner my chosen betrothal is my betrothal
02:20ceremony will be held in seven days time on that day Hemdav herald of the gods will announce my chosen
02:25fiance to all of Asgard you will have your answer then you will be in attendance won't you Valder
02:33your highness Brunwilla I shot her a cold dismissive glance not breaking my stride and walked straight
02:39past her the moment we brushed past each other driving the brake hard through her own skirt and
02:43deep into her thigh your highness Brunwell why would you do this to me
02:52ah Gudrun are you hurt Brunwill apologize to her now it's the same old routine again the exact same
03:00scene played out in my previous life but now I'm no longer that fool who was blinded by love
03:08this trick won't work on me anymore Gudrun she cut her own dress she inflicted this wound on herself
03:14she's deliberately framing me why the hell would I apologize your highness Brunwilda are you saying
03:20that Gudrun hurt herself on purpose just to frame you I will not jump to conclusions what all of your
03:26eyes have seen is the truth enough everyone in Asgard knows Gudrun is kind and pure she would never
03:33sip thing no sips of this despicable Valder watch your tone when you speak to her
03:42stop everyone in Asgard knows Brunwick was utterly devoted to Valder don't make an enemy of the
03:47entire war god for there was a time when I was truly blinded by love I forgave Valder for anything
03:52and everything no matter how far he crossed the line but that time is over forever I'm going to
03:58ask you one last time did I inflict this wound on you if I have offended you in any way
04:02your highness
04:03Brunwilda I am deeply sorry but you did not need to humiliate me like this out of nothing but jealousy
04:09before she could finish her sentence I lifted my rune scepter of the morning star and slammed it hard
04:14to the ground my father the all-father has granted me supreme judicial authority over the Valkyra legions
04:23if I truly wish to punish you I would not need anyone's permission and I would never scoop to such
04:28pathetic
04:29underhanded tricks you love playing the poor pitiful victim to win sympathy don't you then I'll give
04:37you exactly what you want before the words left my mouth a collective gasp ripped through the crowd
04:50she crashed hard onto the ground at the foot of the steps run willa you have gone too far I've
04:55gone too
04:56far you were the first to show me disrespect leveling public accusations against me without
05:01a shred of proof and demanding I apologize to someone who framed me if anyone crossed a line
05:06today it was never me let's get one thing straight Valder I am NOT your wife not yet you have
05:12no right
05:12to order me around did you see that her highness Brunwilda just dressed Valder down in public she used to
05:21move heaven and earth to protect him no matter what thank you for stepping in for me earlier you must
05:26come to my betrothal ceremony in seven days what difference does it make if I come or not you're
05:30not going to choose me anyway I'll likely be swamped that day but I'll send your priests a generous
05:35betrothal gift I will choose you and I have a gift for you too one you will never see coming
05:49your highness this gem is called the heart of yugdryra it was forged from a core shard of the
05:54world tree yugdryra gathered and blessed by the three nigs themselves it holds their eternal blessing
06:00for lovers and it is the only one of its kind in all the nine realims I picked up the
06:04gem turning it
06:05over in my palm to study it closely its soft starlight reflected in my eyes identical to the glow of
06:09the
06:10well of wyrd I had seen in my final moments in my past life
06:14Valder thank you for staying with me today for standing up for me this is all my fault I've dragged
06:18you into this Brunnik is only taking her anger out on you because of me she is Odin's most beloved
06:24daughter of purest blood and highest state she has always gotten everything she wants whenever she
06:28wants it I've long since grown used to it you should never have to endure this I will make this
06:33up to you no matter the cost I heard master broke just finished forging a one-of-a-kind gem
06:39the heart of
06:39yugdar may we go see it of course anything you want it's yours

06:56look valder this is the one-of-a-time treasure I told you about it's breathtaking
07:00if you like it I swear I'll make sure it's yours
07:10braunilith what are you doing here have you been following me
07:13I was here first don't be so paranoid
07:19valder you act like you've never had me follow you around before
07:25visions of my past life flashed through my mind in an instant
07:28him practicing his spear thrusts in the training grounds me hiding behind a tree watching him for
07:32an entire afternoon my eyes filled with nothing but adoration and reverence him eating alone in
07:36the dining hall of Valhalla me sitting down beside him cautiously only for him to not even glance my
07:41way late at night me dressed in my finest gowns bringing him pastries I'd baked with my own two
07:45hands only to be met with unbridled impatience on his face don't worry that will never happen again
07:51master brock I will pay 100,000 of these holy acer gold coins for the heart of yugzasar
07:56valder it's so beautiful her highness brunwinka has any gem she could ever wish for but I
08:03I've never owned anything so precious in my life
08:08I'll buy it for you
08:09he turned to me a smug triumphant confidence on his face he was certain that I the woman who had
08:13obeyed his every whim in my past life would back down this time too
08:16I'll pay triple the price for this gem brunwitha you have more jewels than you could ever count
08:22let gudrin have this one
08:25valder do you truly think I care about a few gold coins your highness brunwine
08:30I've heard the heart of yugzasarik holds the nurg's blessing for lovers
08:34are you planning to buy it for valder
08:42she's still planning to give the gem to me after all
08:45you're going to give this gem to me sooner or later anyway
08:48you might as well do me a favor now
08:51what's more
08:52you pushed gudrin down the steps and left her gravely injured
08:55you owe her this compensation
08:58so let me get this straight
09:01you want me to spend my gold to buy this gem
09:04then hand it to your mistress with my own two hands
09:10just so you can play the hero for her
09:12valder you have absolutely no shame
09:15unfortunately for you
09:16the heart of yugzasarik does not belong to you
09:19and it certainly does not belong to her
09:21wrap it up
09:22I'll take it with me now
09:23something was wrong terribly wrong
09:25she was nothing like the brunwine who had hung on his every word before
09:31it's fine valder
09:32we don't need it
09:33let's just go
09:35no
09:37you deserve the very best this world has to offer
09:40don't wrap it
09:41we're taking this gem
09:42I let out a contemptuous snort
09:44tilting my head as I stared at him like he was nothing more than a bumbling fool
09:47fine
09:49I'll give you your chance
09:51but can you even afford it
09:52it's just 300,000 holy acer gold coins is it not
09:57a full pouch of gold worth far more than 300,000
10:01Brock opened the pouch and appended its entire contents onto the table
10:04but what clattered to the floor was not gleaming holy acer gold coins
10:08it was a pile of rusted scrap iron
10:09shards of broken metal
10:11and worthless rocks
10:12a deathly silence fell over the entire hall in an instant
10:24the servant trembled violently
10:26dragging over a second burlap sack and fumbling it open in a panic
10:29its contents spilled across the floor
10:31more rusted iron
10:32shards of broken metal
10:33and a pile of worthless rocks
10:37what's wrong valda
10:38have you finally realized you've been bankrupt this whole time
10:42if you would
10:44please wrap up the heart of yegazereld for me
10:46Brock nodded at once
10:47wrapping the gem swiftly and carefully before handing it to me with both hands
10:51I took the silk box
10:52my bearing poised and unshakable
10:54the starlight around me seeming to glow brighter with every step
10:56with anna hilled at my side
10:58I turned and walked out
10:59a triumphant smile on my face
11:01behind us
11:02Baldr and Gudrun stood rooted to the spot
11:03their faces awash with shame and embarrassment
11:05nothing more than clowns left exposed and humiliated for all to see
11:08the moment we stepped outside the sacred forge hall
11:11anna hilled could barely contain her excitement
11:13your highness braunwola
11:14that was incredible
11:15I have never never seen Baldr humiliated like that in my entire life
11:19but your highness
11:20even if you're furious with him
11:22are you truly not going to choose Baldr at the betrothal ceremony in seven days
11:25aren't you afraid he'll turn his back on you completely
11:27you think I'll choose him too don't you
11:29of course
11:30every god in Asgard knows you would have done anything for him once
11:34you would never choose anyone else
11:36then in seven days
11:37every god in Asgard will learn just how wrong they are
11:44at that same moment
11:45in the war god's hall
11:46he slammed his war spear into the ground
11:48a tidal wave of holy acer power erupting forth
11:51and striking Baldr square in the chest
11:52father
11:53why would you do this to me
11:54you dared to disrespect her magisbrunn huynel
11:56all for a half-breed demigoddess of low birth
11:58faith in the nine realims is fading by the day
12:02for years our entire clan's survival has depended on the morning star booths from her magnus brunhilda
12:07and now she has cut off every last drop of our resources
12:10we are ruined
12:14if you truly wanted that half-breed whore
12:17you should have at least waited until you were betrothed to brunwill
12:20until your seat was secure
12:24relax father
12:25brunwill is just throwing a tantrum
12:27her love for me is blind
12:29even if she walked in on me in bed with gudrin
12:31she'd cry for a day or two
12:32then crawl right back to me like she always does
12:35at the ceremony in seven days
12:37the man she chooses will be me
12:39no one else
12:43seven days passed in the blink of an eye
12:45on the day of the betrothal ceremony
12:47the great hall of valhalla was packed with the gods of asgard
12:49they clustered in small groups
12:51murmuring amongst themselves
12:52all speculating on the final outcome
12:54the announcement is any minute now
12:55who will her highness brunwill choose as her fiance
12:58is that even a question
12:59it has to be valder
13:00there's no other possibility
13:01the wind is that valder has his heart set on another
13:03it's been the talk of asgard for days
13:05i think we're in for quite the show today
13:08in a shadowed corner of the crowd
13:09gudrin stood silent
13:10her gaze fixed on the high dais at the center of the hall
13:12flames of malice and jealousy burning bright in her eyes
13:15at that same moment
13:16in the private chambers of valhalla
13:18i sat before the mirror
13:19dressed in a magnificent gown woven with starlight
13:21my makeup flawless and regal
13:22i looked every inch the rightful ruler of asgard
13:25a soft tap came at the window
13:32loki
13:33a betrothal gift
13:34for you
13:35but the ceremony hasn't even started
13:37why are you giving this to me so early
13:39because i'm leaving
13:40i won't be attending the ceremony today
13:41try it
13:42if you don't show up
13:43i swear to you
13:44you will regret it for the rest of your life
13:45loki took a step forward
13:46stopping directly in front of me
13:48he stared down at me
13:49his dark gold eyes deep as an endless abyss
13:51filled with a love so thick
13:52it could not be contained
13:53for a heartbeat
13:54that eternal
13:55devil may care mockery vanished entirely
13:57leaving only raw
13:58overwhelming emotion
13:59bitterness
13:59longing
14:00and a desperate
14:01all-consuming restraint
14:02i'm afraid i won't be able to control myself
14:04i'll burn this whole ceremony to the ground
14:06what i mean is
14:07i might get a little bored
14:08and decide to ruin your wedding
14:09where's the fun in that after all
14:12loki
14:12if you dare not show up
14:14you will regret this
14:15loki
14:16today my fiance is you
14:20the empty night air gave no answer
14:22i spun around
14:23marching toward the ceremony hall
14:25fury burning in my chest
14:26i had barely rounded the corner of the corridor
14:28when soft footsteps sounded behind me
14:30i whirled around
14:31and saw Gudrun standing there
14:32walking slowly toward me
14:34what are you doing here
14:35outside the halls of Valhalla
14:37storm clouds blotted out the sky
14:39crimson thunderheads rolled slow
14:40and menacing above the white marble corridor
14:42that stretched out toward the cliff edge
14:44far below
14:44endless lightning split the air
14:46above the abyssal rift of Jodenheim
14:47the dividing line between Asgard
14:49and the realm of the giants
14:50your highness Bronwyck
14:51i know i am nothing but a lowly
14:53half-breed demigoddess
14:54not even worthy to stand in your presence
14:56but Valder and i
14:57we love each other with all our hearts
14:59i beg you
14:59do not take him from me
15:02Valder is mine
15:03you brought this all on yourself
15:05Bronwynda
15:32brunwilden
15:32i already agreed to marry you
15:34why can you not leave Gudrun be
15:36her power is so fragile
15:37did you truly mean to strike her down
15:39with divine replotion
15:40i did not push her
15:41nor did i call down the lightning
15:43Valder
15:44do not blame Herminus Bronwyckl
15:46this is all my fault
15:47i only came to congratulate her
15:49i must have done something to upset her
15:51i cannot believe it
15:52Herminus Bronwyckl used divine lightning
15:53against her romantic rival
15:54this is sacralange
15:55against the sacred laws of Asgard
15:57it isn't a rauge
15:58how could she
15:58Bronwyck
15:59you pushed her down the steps last time
16:01and she let it go
16:02but this
16:02i will not tolerate it
16:04apologize
16:04to her
16:06now
16:08apologize to her
16:09never
16:16Loki dropped from the sky
16:17this scepter of life
16:18slamming hard into the marble floor
16:20sending the surrounding guards
16:21flying backward
16:22scrambling to flee in terror
16:25Loki
16:26this is between me and Bronwylla
16:28a giant from Jornheim
16:30has no right to interfere
16:37anyone who dares disrespect Bronwylla deserves to die
16:41mind your own business
16:42Heimdall will be here any moment to announce i am her betrothed
16:46unless Gudak forgives her this betrothal is worthless
16:49kneel apologize to her now
16:51what are you waiting for make her kneel
16:55enough
16:55at that moment
16:57the bullying
16:58authoritative voice cut through the chaos
17:00a blinding wave of holy light split the storm clouds
17:03by the order of Odin
17:05all father of the Asar
17:07i am here to announce the chosen
17:09sacred betrothed

18:10putting Gudrun in danger
18:11playing hard to get
18:13it was all to get my attention wasn't it
18:15how could you possibly choose Loki
18:17since you've brought it up
18:19we're going to settle this once and for all
18:20i will not allow anyone to slander my betrothed
18:24lady Gundred i have a question for you
18:26how exactly were you struck by lightning
18:29i
18:30i was speaking with her highness Brunhild
18:33i only mentioned valder once
18:35and she flew into a rage
18:37she was the one who summoned the divine repreption
18:39are you certain
18:41Thor god of thunder who wields the lightning of Asgard
18:44witnessed the entire thing
18:45shall we call him forth to confirm your story
19:04your highness Loki
19:05you have summoned me
19:06how may i be of service
19:08tell everyone here exactly what you witnessed with your own eyes
19:11i witnessed with my own eyes that during the conversation between Brunwilder and Gudrun
19:15after Gudrun F speaking she turned of her own accord and walked straight into the path of the thunder
19:19every word is true
19:20it was Gudrun Herminus Brunwillam into the corridor of her own volition
19:23at Nogren who walked into the radius of the divine revention lightning by yourself
19:26by Odin
19:27she walked into the divine lightning on purpose just to frame Hermhyjus Brunwilder
19:31the sheer audacity
19:32every bit of her softness and kindness was an act
19:35she has a heart blacker than the abyss
19:37Gudrun
19:39the evidence is irrefutable
19:42what do you have to say for yourself
19:46no
19:46no
19:48this isn't real
19:49they're all lying to you
19:51conspiring against me
19:52Gudrun
19:54is this true
19:55you walked into the lightning on purpose
19:57then pretended to be the victim
19:59i was just so cared
20:01the thunder was so close
20:03my mind went completely blank
20:06i would never frame Herminus Brondick
20:08never
20:14Gudrun
20:15you concocted this entire elaborate scheme to destroy my reputation
20:18under the sacred laws of Asgard
20:21for malicious framing and desecration of divine retrobation
20:24you are sentenced to 30 lashes with the sacred whip
20:27no
20:29and you
20:30you have repeatedly shown me disrespect
20:33slandered me in public
20:34attempted to coerce me
20:35and desecrated the authority of your liage
20:37under the sacred laws
20:39you are sentenced
20:40to seven days of solitary confinement
20:42sentence
20:43it seems we all misjudged
20:45her highness Brunwilder
20:46truly
20:46i never could have imagined
20:48Gudak was capable of such malice
20:49he put his faith in a wicked woman
20:51and he will surely regret it
20:52for the rest of his days
21:04you are once again
21:40Lords of Asgard, Enghangari warriors, Valkyries of the Sacred Host.
21:44We gather here today to witness the forging of the sacred bond between my only daughter
21:48Bronna Will of the Morning Star, Valkyrie of the Morning Star, and Loki Laufason,
21:53Lord of Juddowheald, God of Tricks and Shadow.
21:56If you want to back out, this is your last chance.
22:02Don't use me as a tool for your revenge if you're still thinking about Valder.
22:08I'm not, sir.
22:11Bronwina Loki, do you swear before Odin and all the assembled gods that from this day forward,
22:17your strength, your glory, and your fates shall be bound as one?
22:23We swear.
22:23We swear.
22:27We swear.
22:37This gem was a treasure from the deepest reaches of Jotunheim's Star Sea.
22:41A stone so rare even Asgard held barely a handful of its like.
22:44I could scarcely believe Loki had given something so precious to me.
22:48I closed the box and set it aside, then picked up the gift I had prepared for him, the heart
22:52of Yggdrasil.
22:53I held it in my palms, turning it over slowly, a flicker of hesitation crossing my face.
22:58Will he even like it?
22:59A low, amused voice sounded suddenly behind me.
23:02And I jumped, spinning around with a sharp gasp.
23:05Loki stood there, only a loose bath towel wrapped around his waist.
23:08His hair was still damp, droplets of water trailing slow pats down the sharp, defined lines of
23:13his chest.
23:14My gaze lingering on him for a heartbeat before I snapped back to my senses, swallowing hard.
23:18My cheeks burning hot against my will.
23:21Loki noticed my fluster.
23:22A playful smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.
23:25He reached out and plucked the gift box straight from my hands.
23:28Is this for me?
23:29Loki laughed, holding the box high over his head, clearly relishing the game.
23:33I stood on my tiptoes, straining to grab the box.
23:37The towel around his waist slipped loose, falling straight to the floor with a soft thud.
23:45We both froze in an instant.
23:48Can you at least put some clothes on?
23:50We're betrothed now.
23:52Loki picked up the gift box again and opened it slowly.
23:55The moment his eyes landed on the heart of Yggdrasil inside, his dark gold irises lit up
23:59at once, as if he'd captured the entire starry sky in his gaze.
24:03The heart of Yggdrasil.
24:16My cheeks burned hotter with every passing second, my heart hammering so hard I thought
24:20it would burst straight out of my chest.
24:22This is a gift blessed by the Nurgs meant for lovers.
24:25Don't tell me you've liked me this whole time, Brunwilter.
24:30Don't flatter yourself.
24:31I only bought it because it's pretty.
24:34I'm going to bathe now.
24:35Your room is over there.
24:37Don't get the wrong idea.
24:41Don't flatter yourself.
24:43I only bought it because it's pretty.
24:45I'm going to bathe now.
24:47Your room is over there.
24:49Don't get the wrong idea.
24:58At that same moment, in the solitary confinement cells of Asgard, in just seven days, he had
25:04grown unshaven and gaunt, his face haggard, his eyes heavy with exhaustion and cold malice.
25:09Wait!
25:10I've been waiting for you.
25:14Get out of my way.
25:18I swear I never framed Brunwilth.
25:20They all banded together to lie to you.
25:23The evidence is irresputable.
25:25Why on earth should I believe you?
25:27Valder, have you not seen it yet?
25:29Everything that happened that day was Brunwilth's revenge, from start to finish.
25:32What are you talking about?
25:33She hates us.
25:34That's why she joined forces with Loki.
25:36To humiliate us in front of every god in Asgard.
25:38To ruin us completely.
25:39That explains it.
25:41Everyone thought she would choose me, but she picked Loki instead.
25:44You're right.
25:45I had no right to blame everything on you.
25:48It's alright.
25:48Now that Brunwilth has chosen Loki, no one can keep us apart ever again.
25:53We can finally be betrothed.
25:54You're right.
25:55I will hold our betrothal ceremony in the grandest palace in Asgard, and I will swear my vows
25:59before every god of the Nine Realms.
26:01My love, I will give you the very best this world has to offer.
26:04I will become Valder's wife.
26:06I will rise to become a true High Lord of the Aesir.
26:08No one will ever look down on me again.
26:10No one will ever stop.
26:31Valder rode a cloud of holy light.
26:33Gudrun Nestle closed at his side as they arrived together at the sanctuary's gates.
26:37This is the crystal sanctuary forged by Master Brock and Lord Heimdall together, isn't it?
26:40Valder, if we could hold our betrothal ceremony here, it would be perfect beyond words.
26:45Leave it to me, my love.
26:47I'm a regular here.
26:49I'm the luckiest man alive to have you, Valder.
26:52Valder smiled back, and the two of them walked together toward the sanctuary entrance.
26:58You are not permitted to enter.
26:59I'm a regular here.
27:01There must be some mistake.
27:03You have been permanently banned from entering the crystal sanctuary.
27:08This is impossible!
27:10You must have made a mistake!
27:13At once, send for the sanctuary, steward!
27:16The two sentinels exchanged a glance, and one nodded, turning to glide into the heart of the sanctuary.
27:21Inside the sanctuary, along the panoramic viewing corridor, Loki and I walked side by side,
27:26chatting casually as we drank in the breathtaking view of the cloud sea stretching out below.
27:30The view here is breathtaking.
27:31There's nowhere else in Asgard that can compare.
27:34I can tell.
27:35You used to come here with Valder all the time, didn't you?
27:38From this day forward, I'll only ever come here with you.
27:41Valder?
27:41He can go crawl back to Jotunheim for all I care.
27:51See?
27:52The steward's here to apologize to us.
27:55Your Highness Brunwell, Your Highness Loki, welcome.
27:58Your presence honors this crystal sanctuary beyond measure.
28:01Thank you for your hard work.
28:02His outstretched hand froze midair.
28:04Stormed forward, his jaw clenched tight.
28:06You!
28:07Brunwilla.
28:08This is your doing, isn't it?
28:10Got a cold, sharp last.
28:11What on earth are you rambling about?
28:14Cut the act!
28:15You're the one who revoked my access, aren't you?
28:17This is your petty revenge!
28:19Jotunheim hurried forward at once, stepping in front of Valder, her voice softkit dripping
28:23with malice, her eyes glistening with faint tears.
28:26Your Highness Brunhelda, I know you resent us, because Valder does not love you, but did
28:31you truly need to go this far?
28:34I don't waste my time on people who don't matter.
28:37The crystal sanctuary only hosts the most esteemed Ligids of Asgard and Jokern Hylst.
28:43Face the truth, Valder.
28:45Without me, you are nothing.
28:48Say that again!
28:52Before his fingers could even graze me, Loki moved.
28:59Touch my betrothed again, and I swear you will regret the day you were born.
29:04Valder stepped back several steps, crashing hard to the ground.
29:07You dare insult our most honored guests?
29:10From this day forward, these two are permanently banned from the crystal sanctuary, with no chance
29:15of reprieve.
29:16Valder and Gudrun's faces turned even darker.
29:19I let out a contemptuous snort, slipped my arm through Loki's, and walked straight into
29:23the crystal sanctuary.
29:24I will never understand how Valder could throw away someone as someone as noble as Herminus
29:28Brunwicka, all for a lowly half-breed demigoddess.
29:31If you ask me, Herminus Brunwicka spoiled him for far too long, made him forget his place.
29:35Now that Herminus has chosen Lord Loki, it's about time Valder learned where he stands.
29:39Valder heard every word, his jaw clenched so tight it ached, his fists balled at his sides
29:43until his knuckles turned white.
29:45Suddenly, his face shifted violently.
29:47A spectral figure materialized before him.
29:49Tyr, god of war.
29:51Father.
29:52Get back here at once, you insufferable fool!
30:00Valder returned to the war god's hall in disgrace.
30:03Gudrun at his side.
30:04Tyr stood with his back to them in the center of the hall.
30:07He turned slowly, and the moment his eyes landed on Gudrun, all his pent-up fury erupted.
30:12You dare bring her back here?
30:13If you hadn't let this woman turn your head-
30:15Brunica would never have chosen another!
30:18You have single-handedly destroyed everything our family has built!
30:21Father, I do not love Brunwith.
30:23She has nothing but the All-Faithers' favor to her name.
30:26The woman I love is Gudra.
30:28She is beautiful, kind, and wields immense purification powers,
30:32things Brunwith could never hope to match.
30:34I intend to be betrothed to Gudra.
30:37Purification powers?
30:38Three years ago, the god of lies placed a strife curse on me.
30:42I was bleeding uncontrollably, convinced I would die.
30:46It was Gudrun who came, broke the curse on my body, and saved my life.
30:51Among the descendants of Odin, there has long been a prophecy.
30:53One among them wields the ultimate power of purification,
30:56able to break even the strongest original sin curses in all the nine realms.
30:59You too carry the All-Father's blood.
31:01Could it be that you are the one?
31:03Gudrun lowered her eyes, sneering inwardly.
31:05Of course not, you fool.
31:06Yes, Lord Tyre.
31:08Very well.
31:08Tears stared at her in silence for a long moment, before finally nodding slowly.
31:12I approve of your betrothal.
31:15In three days' time, Asgard will hold the Feast of All-Spirit's Harvest.
31:19Every High Lord of the Aesid will be in attendance.
31:22You too will come with me.
