Chapter 8
Ivar
That morning, we all sat down for breakfast at the dining room. My Papa was seated at the high chair, and my Mama sat next to him. I looked around, searching for Ragnar, but he wasn't present. I was sure he didn't show up for breakfast because of my Mama, but I didn't dare ask.
The door opened, and I snapped my head to see two maids walk in with a wooden tray carrying breakfast.
They set the plates down, and the maids began to serve us. One of the maids walked to my side and placed two slices of Bale bread on my plate. She spread cheese on the bread before adding some slices of meat on my plate. Setting the Alehorn next to me, she poured ale into my cup. (Alehorns are the cups Vikings drink from, crafted from animal horns. Ale is called beer in Viking culture, though it is brewed from yeast."
