Life of the Overpowered Lord

Chapter 9: Ch.9 The End of the Feast



Ashlaine was stunned hearing Bjorn say that he would pay the debts her father had accrued. Thurson looked at his young master and was so grateful that he had tears in his eyes. Balin to had teary eyes because he knew he was finally going to get his money back.

"However, before I begin handing out money there is one thing that I still need to do." Bjorn spoke as he started walking towards Thurson.

"What could that be young mas-"

*Bang*

*Thud*

Bjorn walked straight up to Thurson and punched him right in his face sending him to land on his rear end. Without giving anyone time to think he turned and punched Balin in his guts making him double over.

"WOW, that feels better." Bjorn said before turning towards Ashlaine. Ashlaine herself had a look on her face that said she was not happy at all.

"Hey, don't be mad at me. They both had it coming and you know it." Said Bjorn with an innocent look on his face. "You know everyone else wanted to do it, even you."

"As true as that is still wasn't right." Ashlaine pouted slightly. "You could have let me do it."

Bjorn and everyone in the hall laughed when they heard what she had said. Even Thurson and Balin were laughing hard knowing they definitely deserved it.

Amidst the laughter someone that seemed quite forgotten finally began so stir.

"Graaa....ha...ha...ha... Ashlaine did you see what that violent fool has done to me... ha...ha...ha..."

Dalin's words made everyone turn towards him with scorn on their faces.

"Quiet scum."

"The young master should just kill you."

"Someone throw something at him!"

The clan members that had been watching finally had enough and started to throw curses at Dalin. Bjorn's face twisted slightly as he seriously considered just killing Dalin. Balin was just sad, he felt he had failed as a father.

"Quiet boy. You have no right to speak here anymore." Balin said sternly. "The contract has already been terminated. On top of that as soon as you are back in shape you will be leaving on a journey to temper yourself."

Balin was extremely disappointed in Dalin. So he finally decided not to shelter his son anymore because of this farce. He will send him out and hope he returns a better man for it.

"What!?! Father you cant do this to me. My mother would never let you do that if she were here." Dalin yelled as he fell from the wall Bjorn had blasted him into.

"Boy, you must not have known your mother very well than. She would've killed you herself for the mess you've caused in my hold" Gaia spoke trying to shut the stupid boy up.

"No, there is no way my mother would've done something like that!"

"Gertrude was a true shieldmaiden little boy she had honor respect and would never have let her son turn out the way you have. Weak, cowardly, and useless." Thor spoke this time having heard enough. "Balin take your son home."

"Yes my lord. Again young master and dear Ashlaine I am very sorry for the mess that has occurred on such a great occasion." Balin spoke with a bow before grabbing his useless son and dragging him out of the hall.

Turning towards Ashlaine, Bjorn walked towards he and didn't hesitate to wrap her in his arms for a big hug saying," I am so happy to see you again."

Ashlaine with a bright red face and a small smile accompanying it just laughed and enjoyed Bjorn's embrace. " Haha, I am very happy to see you to Bjorn, it has been far to long."

Bjorn feeling the stares of many on himself and Ashlaine looked up and saw everyone including their parents staring at them with strange glints in their eyes.

"Hey , hey now everybody get back to feasting!" He said quickly trying to divert everyone attention from the duo. Which he fantastically failed as the hall erupted into laughter.

Thurson just shook his head before telling Ashlaine he was leaving. He knew his daughter would be spending a lot of time with his young master now. He just hoped that maybe she could steal the young master's heart. He knows she wont be the only one in his heart but at least she could be the first in his heart.

"Ashlaine you know my family. Family you all remember Ashlaine right?" Bjorn said while leading Ashlaine up to the table where his family was sitting.

"Yupp, heya Ashlaine. Sorry for my little brother he's got quite the skill for theatrics." Said Beth trying help everyone forget the incident and move on to teasing Bjorn which is probably her favorite activity ever.

"Hey who has a thing for theatrics? I believe that would be you miss get eaten by a chimera just so she could get pictures of herself bursting out of its belly."

"Hey that was a long time ago!"

"Yeah now she likes to go have headbutting competition with those giant rams over on Mt. Olympus. Uncle Hephaestus is always complaining that she is louder than him making a new weapon. Hahaha"

The siblings slipped into a quick and easy banter that made everyone at the table smile. Truly no matter how long had passed there siblings will always be like this with each other.

Amidst the joyful laughing and teasing Gaia's voice cut through and she asked a question Bjorn just wished she would drop. "So Bjorn, now that you have successfully saved your dear friend, when will you finish telling us about your darker times in the human land?"

'Damn' thought Bjorn before," Mother can we talk about this later please?"

"No."

"But I don't think Ashlaine wants to hear about this."

"Oh I think my future daughter in-law would love to hear about it."

"Daughter-in-law!?!" X2

"I would like to hear about it though if it's ok with you Bjorn."

"Geh, hmm fine well it was like this..."

Bjorn began telling the rest of his tales from the human lands. Though a bit ashamed to have to talk about it, he didn't feel the need to hide it anymore. Ashlaine all the while listening Bjorn was thinking about something else entirely. 'Daughter-in-law, it has a nice ring to it.'
