- In the siege of Paris, I proved that a true warrior’s mind is as sharp as his blade.
- Defending the city against Ragnar was a betrayal, but it was also my finest hour as a strategist and leader.
- Gisla was a prize of politics, yet she became the love that steadied my turbulent heart.
- In Gisla, I found more than a wife; I found a partner who challenged and changed me.
- Our marriage began in duty, but it grew into a bond that no sword could sever.
- Gisla’s strength matched my own, and together, we forged a union of respect and love.
