pairing: Bjorn Ironside x Y/N
Summary: you are the wife of Bjorn Ironside, the cousin of Harald Finehair and the Queen of both cities, you loved your husband more than anything, however, Bjorn is what Bjorn is, you caught your husband cheating and now, you must make a statement.
warnings: cheating, murder.
You are not just a queen, you are the queen, supported by king Harald Finehair, married to Bjorn Ironside, loved by the people of Norway, admired by warriors, two summers since you’ve been married, two summers and you gave him a true heir, with another on the way, yet, it was never enough for your beloved husband.
He looks at every other girl in the room, he’d flirt whenever you take your eyes off of him, you weren’t ugly, you were beautiful, everyone praised your grace, you weren’t stupid, you were smart, Ivar the boneless himself valued your intelligence, your company was entertaining, your stories were delightful, but Bjorn… he’s always searching for everything but you.
The two of you married of love, or at least, that’s what it was two summers ago, Bjorn proposed, after divorcing his wife Gunnhild, you told him you’d agree if your uncle, Harald, would, and with your marriage, the two kingdoms were reunited once and for all.
Bjorn was much like Ragnar, curious, never wanting to settle down, he’d get a woman, get bored, and change her like she was a toy, but on your wedding day he swore, he swore that he’d never do anything to hurt you, he swore that you’re his one true love, the woman that matches his soul, so much for keeping a vow that he made to you and to the gods.
You’ve been distrusting him for a while now, wanting anything to prove you wrong, the way he was talking to that slave woman, the way he looked at her, the sparkle in his eyes, you were familiar with that, he used to look at you with the same spark, it was nothing strange when you asked one of your most trusted men Nye the Brave, to follow Bjorn around and confirm your suspicions, and it was no surprise when he returned and told you that your beloved husband was fooling around with the slave.
You could endure many things, but cheating wasn’t one of them, you ordered your men to kidnap them both and tie them for you, they did, you put them in a cave, tied with no escape for two days, then you paid them a visit, with your men, you motioned to Nye to remove their blindfold and gags when they did, Bjorn looked at you shocked and confused.
“Y/N, you came to free us?” he asked, still unable to process why his wife was there, with her guards “No dear husband, I’m the one who brought you here, I hope the men fed you well and treated you like… well, like a king” you smiled sinfully, Bjorn’s eyes were filled with confusion and anger, why would his wife do that to him? She loves him! He loves her too! Part of him does.
“What’s the meaning of this?” he demanded, the woman started begging for forgiveness immediately, but one glare from you, made her as quiet as a rat, “I would ask you the same thing, Bjorn, I gave you everything a man could ever want, yet, here we are, I should’ve listened to Harald’s warnings about you, Ironside, or should I say… Iron dick? I gave you love, a family, wealth, and a kingdom, what else do you need to be given you greedy bastard?” you said, calm, yet agony was already in your voice.
“Y/N, I…” you interrupted “you’re nothing Bjorn! Nothing! You are a man who can’t keep a promise! And a man who can’t keep a promise is nothing! My father warned me about men like you, thinking they are smarter than everyone else like everyone owes them the world, you are only here because you climbed on your father’s reputation! A bad king, a reckless Viking, a neglecting father, and an unfaithful husband, tell me where’s the honor in that?” you spat on the floor.
Bjorn looked down ashamed of himself, you glanced at the slave girl who was sobbing, and motioned for your guards to bring her to you, you examined her well, then looked at Bjorn “tell me, what is that has and I don’t?” you asked as you glimpsed at him again, he mumbled something but you couldn’t hear it “the queen asked you a question” Nye said as he kicked Bjorn in the stomach, your husband fell of the ground grumbling.
“Nothing, she has nothing more than you!” you approved “you’re right” Nye handed you a blade and you stabbed the woman in the heart, Bjorn watching you the whole time horrified, “I told you what I would do if I find you with another” you reminded him of your many, many, warnings, the guards picked Bjorn up and forced him to stand then took off his pants, Bjorn tried to fight them but they were stronger, they were bigger.
“Y/N! This is insane, I demand you to stop! I’m your husband! The father of your children! Think about our son, Torvald, what will you tell him?” he said, panic in his eyes, you smirked and held the knife closer to his private member, “Y/N, I love you” he said frantically, you made a big cut near his dick that made him squeal “here is your only warning Bjorn Ironside, if I ever glance at you looking at a woman, I’ll cut it off whole, and this time, you won’t find mercy from me” your men left him on the floor, to suffer and bleed.
The eyes of his scared, dead mistress haunting him everywhere, beautiful, yet she crossed her lines with you, that you cannot allow, “my queen, shall we help him?” one of your men asked, you shook your head no “take me back home at once, husband needs time to think of his action, I’d kiss you goodbye, but I fear it’s hard for me to lean down with our second child in my stomach” you wrapped your arms around your bump and with that, your guards led the way back to Kattegat.
“My queen?” you heard a manly voice, you sighed “yes Nye?” you questioned, “why didn’t you follow with your threat?” he asked confused “because my dearest friend, Bjorn Ironside is still, the father of my child, and the one to be born, he doesn’t deserve mercy, I’m aware, but what’s at stake is more important, our people rely on this alliance, many Norwaygien’s will die in vain if I start a war” he nodded understandingly, you laughed a little “people dying because Ragnarsson couldn’t keep his cock in his pants, so his wife solved the problem” you laughed again.
You were never fond of violence, if things could be solved with no blood, you’d do it, you truly cared about the people, and your sons’ rights to rule both the kingdoms.
Two days later, Bjorn Ironside returned to the main hall, limping, bloodstains all over his pants “Bjorn!” Ubbe said as he rushed to help him, you were on your throne, with your son on your lap, you carried him and went to your husband “call in the healer!” you ordered, leading Bjorn and Ubbe to your bedroom that once belonged to King Ragnar himself.
The healer came and treated his wounds, he had more than the ones you caused him, your husband passed out of pain right after drinking mead and medicine, when he woke up, his brothers were there, so were you, worried about him “how are you feeling husband?” you asked, he looked at you without replying, you were worried about his state, but didn’t forgive him quite yet, he nodded “what happened Bjorn?” Ubbe asked him, he took a deep breath “my own foolishness brother, my own foolishness” his eyes focused on you as if he’s waiting for your next move.
