Thorfinn and Thorkell agree to have a duel over the fate of Askeladd. Thorkell looks forward to facing off against Thors’s son, Thorfinn, and asks him what a true warrior really is. Meanwhile, Canute is suddenly ambushed while he attempts to escape, and has a dream about a certain individual.
It's no different from fawning over a king
while hitting a slave with a whip.
لا يكاد يختلف عن الطّريقة الّتي يتملّق
.بها أحدهم لملكٍ بينما يجلد عبدًا
Königen zu schmeicheln
und Sklaven die Peitsche zu geben,
No es diferente a adular a un rey
mientras se azota a un esclavo.
No es diferente a adular a un rey
y azotar a un esclavo con un látigo.
Ce n’est pas si différent
que de flatter un roi,
Não é muito diferente de adular
o rei e chicotear o escravo.
