The hall is even more tall and solemn in the cold winter. In the restaurant behind the hall, it is spring at the moment. The fireplace glowed red, and the whole room was warm.

At this time, the rectangular table was already filled with delicious food and wine, and the smell was constantly tickling people's taste buds, and sitting on either side of the table were the Evan family.

Today's dinner party is not only Evan and his family, but also invited two special guests, one is the mature and beautiful Skallie who has just returned, and the other is Linda, who is a little nervous but beautiful.

With the allocation of nearly 1,000 slaves to weapons, shipbuilding, and textiles today, Evan's logistics department was finally able to operate quickly and temporarily for the daily needs and war readiness of the now growing population.

These slaves will provide Evan with more weapons and ships, which will also speed up Evan's pace. In the days that followed, in the face of possible troubles and continued large-scale plundering in the future, Evan finally had some confidence.

Looking at the slightly emaciated Skellly, Evan felt not only moved, but also deeply guilty and uneasy. In order to protect herself, the woman, after hearing his thoughts, supported him without hesitation, and left the tribe the next day, traveling for more than a month in the cold wind, bringing back everything he needed.

If it weren't for the fact that his family was sitting at the moment, he couldn't wait to immediately hug this beautiful and mature woman and love her well.

At this time, Linda was very worried in her heart. The first is the sight of the veiled Nora, who she realizes is the mark of the harm her father Rolf has done to their family, which makes her feel extremely guilty, and it is also for this reason that she has not dared to come to Evan before.

She knew that her father's mistake to the Evan family was unforgivable, and she was afraid that Evan's family would not accept her at all, after all, she was Rolf's daughter, and this was a fact that could not be changed at any time. Although Nala did not lose her life, a woman's face was ruined, and she knew how cruel it was. In the face of such facts, will Evan's family be able to accept her?

And then there was the beautiful and mature woman sitting across from him, Kelly. Today, she received an invitation to dinner with Evan, and she was originally a little excited, but at the moment she was completely ruined by this woman who suddenly appeared in her life.

Whenever a woman is jealous, even in the early Middle Ages, when three wives and four concubines were common, there was no woman who would not be jealous, this psychology is innate, no one can change it, Linda knows very well what this meal means today.

She knew that from this moment on, his man had to share it with another woman. Although she was extremely reluctant in her heart, she couldn't take care of it so much in today's inner anxiety, coupled with her own insecurity. She still doesn't know what the Evan family means, whether they will forgive her, whether they will accept Rolf's daughter being with their son.

In fact, after assigning the slaves, Evan arranged for Skaire to go back to the bar to rest first, and he also confessed his feelings to his parents about his relationship with Skelli at the first time.

Although Nala's reaction was a little fierce at that time, she was extremely reluctant for her son to be with such a woman, because Skali was **, and beautiful, plus the origin was unknown. The main thing is that she runs a bar and deals with all kinds of men every night, which also makes her very bad.

Although I don't know if her life is as debauched as rumored, but now that her son is the leader, being with such a woman will definitely affect his reputation. As a mother, this is a situation she doesn't want to see.

Yet, though reluctant to do so, Nala wisely chose to listen to Evan, knowing that his son had grown up, had his own status, had his own people, and was no longer the dying toddler she had met.

Moreover, she knew that her adopted son had always been very well-behaved, obedient, resolute, and assertive, and it was because of this character that he could get to where he is today.

It is precisely for this reason that she knows that her son will go further, so she doesn't want to interfere too much in some things, she wants her son to be a hero, not a coward who has no ideas and no opinions, and is hesitant to do things.

In Evan's narrative, the image of a strong, brave and intelligent woman who is unwilling to pay silently slowly emerges in her heart. It was the first time she had heard so much about Skyli, especially since she had helped Evan many times, and even had her shadow in killing Rolf.

After knowing this, Nala changed her previous dissatisfaction and strongly asked to invite Skelly to dinner, and she cooked it herself. She is a person with clear grievances, and for the people who have helped her son and their family, she feels that since she knows the truth, she can't pretend to be stupid and silent, and she should express something.

Evan was very clear about his adoptive mother's character, so when Nala said that she would invite Skallie to dinner, she knew that her family would no longer object to the matter between herself and Skally, which made him very happy, so he made a timely proposal to invite Linda to dine together.

He knew that his family had already known about his relationship with Linda and did not object, so he wanted to take this opportunity to let the two girls meet. Skali knew about Linda's existence, but Linda didn't know about his relationship with Skali.

He knows that Pepper has a fiery temper, and now Linda's personality has become like this, just because the apprehension and guilt in her heart prevail, so Evan wants to take advantage of this opportunity to take down Linda in one fell swoop, so that she can also accept the existence of Skali, so that he may be able to enjoy the blessings of the great **.

With excitement, he first informed Skally. Seeing her slightly pale little face, I knew that it was because I had never rested well after a long journey. Evan didn't linger long, but told her to sleep for a while, and in the evening her mother invited her to dinner.

Next, Evan went to Linda's house, a normal wooden house that was not much different from most families, but clean.

Linda was surprised by Evan's arrival, as for her mother, Ainar. was so frightened that he stood up directly from the animal skin, with a panicked face.

She remembers that when her husband Rolf was in power, she had many bad ideas to beat their family, and even personally approached Nala to ask her to marry Rolf. Although she didn't succeed in the end, it doesn't mean that Nala's family doesn't hold a grudge against her.

She had never dreamed of such a situation now, and the months had been like nightmares since her dependence Rolf was killed by the teenager in front of her. It was okay for her to go from being a high-ranking countess to a situation inferior to a commoner, but the most fearful thing was that her life would be extinguished at any time, and she had heard those stories, and the misery of the loser kept her awake at night.

Fortunately, she also has a daughter, a daughter as delicate as a flower, and she also knows about her daughter's relationship with Evan, so all her hopes now are pinned on her daughter, and she hopes that Evan can let herself go of herself in her daughter's face, so she mentioned her worries to her daughter intentionally or unintentionally during these days.

Linda really didn't disappoint her. Not long ago, at her instigation, Linda finally went to find Evan, and although she came back alone that night, her daughter gave her a clear message, telling her to live at ease, and Evan would not do anything to them.

It was enough to have this sentence, she knew that her daughter would not lie to her, although Linda loved Evan deeply, but she was her mother in the end, blood was thicker than water, this kind of family affection could not be severed, which also made her sleep peacefully for a few good nights.

But today's surprise visit by Evan frightened her. She was afraid that Evan would take her away or reduce her to slavery in the face of her daughter, but seeing that Evan had come alone and had not brought any guards, her heart slowly returned to its original position.

Evan couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Ainar, who had been arrogant and arrogant, was now a panicked fawn, and he had a deeper understanding of how quickly his life turned. This situation reminded him of the ancients' saying, "I'd rather bully the white beard than the young and poor", and the ancients did not deceive me.

While waiting for Linda, he chatted with Ainar dressed as a simple peasant woman, after all, she was the mother of her own woman, although she was a little awkward in her heart, he didn't embarrass the other party too much, just told her to live here at ease, and she didn't need to have any worries.

After Linda dressed up, the two walked out together and went directly to the hall to meet their families. Linda escorts Nala to the kitchen to prepare dinner, while Evan frolicks with his younger siblings.

"Father, mother, thank you for being better than your own son over the years, raising me, taking care of me, not only saving my life, but also giving me a home, thank you."

Looking at the table full of food, after Nala was served, Evan stood up and picked up his glass, bowed deeply to Nala and Olaf and thanked him deeply.

Evan never said these things, not because he didn't want to say them, but because he had nothing at the time. He didn't know how to thank these two brave and kind Vikings, and now he felt that the time had come, he had his own people, and he had the strength to face the challenges, he could give the Nala family a stable and prosperous life, so he spoke up.

"Don't, don't be such a child, we have never treated you as an outsider, you are our child, and we are so proud that the gods have given you to us."

Seeing Evan's uncharacteristically serious anger, Nala, who had just sat down, stood up abruptly and said proudly to the son she had worked so hard to raise in front of her.
