Sweyns head tells Canute that Thorfinn is dangerous and should be killed.
But when the king asks him what hell do, Thorfinn says hell simply run.
To this Canute laughs, and not to mock Thorfinn.
And you know what?
The English nobles acknowledge the trust hes put in them, and the uprising that was feared never occurs.
With no threat of an uprising, there was no need for an expensive army.
Floki and his Jomsvikings are disappointed, but fuck em.
Their way only leads to ruin.
Canute isnt about that.
HeadmiresThorfinn, and accepts that the two of them can independently peruse their paths to paradise.
He slowly limps through the peaceful farm and joins Canute, who still tends to Arnheids grave.
And if he cant find it, hell make it.
He embraces Einar as a brother, and they resolve to travel to Vinland.
In another example of his selfless goodness, Thorfinn has Olmar take the credit for negotiating Canutes withdrawal.
Of building something rather than destroying.
Even Snake and his men take up farm work at Sverkels, with no imminent enemies to fight.
They surely wont be alone for long.
