Realistic or Modern Of Axes and Dragons

[decadent-rider]

She nodded and frowned, playing with his fingers. “I think… I’m gonna go lay down.” She told him quietly. “Leave you to your paperwork.” She murmured, turning to kiss his cheek then got hotel go home to bed.

He nodded and watched her some. “If that’s what you think so far.” He murmured, “I’m alright love, you can go do what you needed. I’ll get Sven to take me in to see my doctor later, maybe write a quick list for him for the store. We can have a nice home cooked dinner tonight.” He suggested.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Daemon took her hand as she stood up "You don't have to leave....again the paperwork can wait." He murmured before kissing her knuckles gently

Max smiled some at him and nodded some "I think that sounds like a great idea. You call me if you need anything okay?" She murmured before kissing him gently

 

[decadent-rider]

He gave her a mock salute and watched her go, waiting until he heard the door go and just took the braces off, not wanting to put any effort into moving around today.

Carmen shook her head and smiled a little. “It’s okay love, I just want to see if I can sleep off this feeling a little.” She told him quietly, giving his hand a squeeze then left him to it

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled softly and left to get ready and leave to the offices. She frowned softly when she got there though seeing everything looking a wreck. She went to her assistant worried "Whats going on? Why does everyone look like they're running with their heads cut off?"

Daemon smiled softly and nodded softly "Alright then beautiful." He murmured before letting her go off.

 

[decadent-rider]

She looked up and frowned some. “I… he’s here. Ragnar is here at the office. No one knows why. The sons are being pulled into a meeting with him though. All seems very important and he never comes in unless things are about to change big time.” She explained quickly to her.

Hvitserk was the one to call Daemon and let him know. “The deal that you have with my brother. We need you to come in and discuss this with our father as soon as oosibke. He’s here today and tomorrow and that is it.” He told him. “If you can’t make it in by then, he says the contracts are voided.” He explained frowning.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned deeply as she listened to her and gave a small nod "Well calm down just a bit okay? Everything will be okay. I'm sure he won't come to bother us." She said softly before going to her office to start filing things.

Daemon picked up his phone while he sat in his office frowning deeply. He shook his head some taking a deep breath "I will be there in an hour." He growled before hanging up and going to their room "Carmen? Carmen darling wake up." He coaxed as he gently shook her awake

 

[decadent-rider]

She grumbled a little but stirred and looked up at him. “You okay?” She frowned a little and sat up slowly, waiting tik he was sat on the edge of the bed.

She shook her head. “He wants to see you as well. He knows who you are. Just… be careful…. Ivar doesn’t get on with him.” She told her gently and looked over when Hvitserk finally came in to collect her.

“Ivar still isn’t answering his phone but I’ve left him a message. Hell get it at some point.” He told her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Daemon sighed heavily "It looks like your uncle is in town. He needs to speak with me over some business things. I want you there with me." He said softly

Max frowned deeply seeing Hvitserk come to gather her "Why do I need to be there? I'm of no importance.." she said softly

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned. “You’re Ivars wife…. Never let any of the family hear you say that. Especially Ivar.” He told her smiling. “It’s not business. He just wants to meet you.” He told her.

Carmen nodded and sat up. “It will be nice to see him.” She told him quietly, kissing his cheek and got up to get dressed smiling a little seeing daemon watching her. “Still enjoy the view?”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small nod and sighed heavily. She followed him to the conference room "Well alright then." She said softly trying to not get nervous.

Daemon smirked as he watched her undress "Very much so." He said letting out a small grunt as she came closer to him "Don't tease.." he said in a low tone.

 

[decadent-rider]

Ivar groaned a little when he woke up with a pounding headache, checking his phone though and listening to the messages, immediately calling Sven to have the car ready as he got himself out together as fast as he could, taking a record half hour to get from bed to the office and he leaned heavily on his crutch trying to get up to the boardroom as fast as possible.

Carmen smiled. “Maybe later handsome. We have a meeting to attend.” She murmured, kissing his head and continued getting dressed.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned deeply when she saw Ivar burst through the door "Ivar? Ivar darling whats wrong?" She asked as she stood up and went over to him.

Ragnar gave his youngest a small smile "Yes Ivar darling, what seems to be the problem?" He teased watching the two of them

Daemon groaned softly but nodded before getting dressed himself "I have not seen Ragnar in quite some time, why is he always gone?" He asked as he drove them to the Lothbrock offices

 

[decadent-rider]

She smiled a little. “Ragnar never wanted all of this. He wanted a better life for him and Lagertha and Bjorn and Gyda…. But one thing led to another and he ended up the leader of an incredibly powerful organisation. He disappears to be alone. He stays with friends… makes sure his sons are doing well from time to time… I wish you could have known him in the early days. When Bjorn and I were much younger, he was so full of life and questions… he was the father I never had.” She explained.

Ivar frowned and took a seat. “You shouldn’t be talking with her alone like this.” He muttered, very out of breath from all the rushing now. “You should… have waited!” He muttered.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Daemon gave a small nod as he listened to her "What caused him to loose his way?" He asked out of genuine curiosity.

Max sat down with him and frowned gently "Ivar its alright, we were only speaking about our wedding." She explained quietly

Ragnar smiled happily at her before watching Ivar some "I cannot meet my new daughter in law? She seems to be very nice Ivar. I'm glad you were given a good one."

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned, not at all trusting his fathers intentions. “Not like this. Pick up the phone and call next time.” He muttered grabbing maxs hand and half dragging her out of there.

She shrugged. “Don’t know.” She told him quietly, yawning big while they headed over there.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned deeply as he dragged her out "Darling....darling...Ivar stop for a moment!" She said tugging her hand from him "Ivar whats the problem? Please talk to me." She said gently giving him a concerned look. She sighed seeing howm upset he was a took his hand taking him to her office. She closed the door and locked it before getting him sat in her chair "Talk to me, please Ivar."

Daemon gave the car to valet and got out. He took her hand as they went inside frowning when he saw taking a very pissed looking Ivar away. He went into the conference room looking at Ragnar who sat at the head of the table a giant smile plastered on his face seeing Carmen.

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen followed him quickly as she could, making a mental note to go see Max straight after but she went up to the conference room and smiled wide seeing Ragnar sat there, making her way over and hugged him tightly as he stood. “You’re getting old.” She teased him, seeing all the grey coming through in his beard. “It is good to see you Ragnar.”

He frowned and sat down, catching his breath for a minute then just shook his head. “I don’t want you near him unless I am there do you understand? I’m not mad at you but that’s not gonna happen again. The idea of trusting him is abhorrent!” He spat at the floor and grit his teeth

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ragnar smiled happily and hugged his honorary daughter tight to him "And you are all grown now." He said before looking at her. He looked over at Daemon and gave a small nod.

Daemon gave Ragnar a small nod looking at Carmen "Carmen, why don't you step out for a moment. We can catch up and maybe have a lunch after." He said softly to her.

Max frowned deeply and gave a small nod "Ivar, I won't see him again okay? Just...try to stay calm okay?" She asked before kissing him gently pressing her forehead to his "I won't press this subject anymore for now, but please calm down."

 

[decadent-rider]

She sighed a little but nodded. “Alright. I’ll go see Max… play nice. Both of you.” She told them, leaving them to it and headed over to maxs office, knocking on the door.

Ivar frowned and just shook his head. “I’ll explain later… have your catch up.” He told her quietly, making his way to go see Hvitserk, leaving the girls to it

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max kissed him gently before letting him go. She smiled seeing Carmen and went over giving her a hug "I heard about what happened, are you okay?" She asked worriedly as she pulled away "How are things with Daemon?"

Daemon sighed heavily as he sat "So Ragnar, why the big fuss about this now? I thought everything was going well." He said raising an eyebrow.

 

[decadent-rider]

She sighed a little and took a seat, “I’ve been a lot better… I… it was bad max. Really fucking bad.” She muttered. “But he’s handling it well… he’s being a better husband the past 24 hours than he’s been in the past 10 years.” She sighed a little

Ragnar sat back down and leaned back “We have made two alliances with your family now. And I have reason to believe that someone on your side is trying to sabotage that partnership.” He told him seriously. “And of course I heard this morning about someone taking a gun to the only daughter I have left.” He told him frowning. “And I want to be kept in the know with what happened and who it was.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small nod frowning as she realized just how shaken up Carmen was. "Thats good that he is being there for you." She said softly before giving a heavy sigh "Have they any idea on who could have done this?"

Daemon frowned deeply at him "I'm not sure I like your implications Ragnar. Our partnership is cruecial to both our families. To whom do you think is causing this?" He asked as he sat forward a bit.

 

[decadent-rider]

He frowned. “Your sister in law.” He told him, handing him an envelope. “There is all the proof you need. And now I need your word that she is safe. Her and the children both.” He told him seriously. “They never asked to be a part of this.”

She just shook her head. “His people are looking into it… but they were pros. This wasn’t a screw around job.” She mumbled, rubbing at her face.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Daemon took the envelope and frowned deeply looking over a few of the documents. "You have my word that they will all be safe. We already have multiple people on the kids, both yours and mine." He explained

Max gave a small nod and frowned slightly "Oh dear, thats even worse." She said softly trying to keep calm, but she always had been a worry wart.

 

[decadent-rider]

He nodded and sighed. “Good. Let me know when you’ve sorted the problem.” He told him and let him go.

Carmen stood to leave once she heard the board room door open, “I’ll call you for a catch up soon.” She told her quietly, leaving the room right as daemon was walking towards her
