After the fighting dies down, Canute takes in Askeladd and Thorkell as his followers, and returns to Gainsborough. Canute goes through an awakening when he realizes the meaning of love in the aftermath of Ragnar’s death. Canute throws away what little feelings he had left for his father, and joins Askeladd in plotting to assassinate King Sweyn.
The world would sink into chaos if someone
like him had the crown.
كان العالم ليغرق في الفوضى
.إن ارتدى شخص مثله التّاج
Wenn so jemand die Krone trägt,
gerät die Welt in Unordnung.
El mundo hubiera caído en un caos
si alguien como él reinaba.
El mundo se sumiría en el caos
si alguien como él tuviera la corona.
Lui laisser la couronne ne pouvait
qu’engendrer le chaos en ce monde.
O mundo afundaria no caos com
alguém como ele no poder.
