[CONTAINS SMUT] ❗️18+❗️
~~~
Y/n was no more than a maid. Not for a wealthy family but rather The Royal Family. her status was low, she was only ever in the kitchens or avoiding the royals to clean the palace at whatever ungodly hour she was needed.
...
It was a long night. Frigga had to go over some acts that would be put into place for villages on the outskirts of the realm. She had resided to your chambers as you helped her go over them.
You had just left to brew tea as she took a moment to rest her eyes. Certainly she would be fast asleep by the time you were back.
Smiling softly, you push open the door only to see a hooded figure over her. A jagged dagger just missing her when you cried out.
"Frigga!" the attacker slides over to you, dodging the crashing tea cups and teapot as you lifted the tray to protect yourself.
Frigga jolted awake, her eyes widening as the tray was strewn away from your hands.
The dagger grazes your palm, your fist colliding with the person's shadowed face. Holding back a large cuss, you kick their side until they fell to your knees, your foot slamming into their face.
"Frigga, are you alright?" You run over to the shocked queen.
"Mother? Y/n?" Thor rushed in with Loki, Odin and some guards rush in with weapons raised.
"Darling, what happened?" Loki dropped to your side, seeing the blood.
"I'm fine, I'm fine," you dismiss his worry as you led Frigga to the bed. "Frigga, are you alright? Did they hurt you?"
"No... No, Y/n, I'm alright, thank you," She embraced you tight as Thor lifted the person's hood.
"Who is this?" the unconscious figure lay there with a bruised face.
"Fera?" You gape, almost not surprised.
"You know her?"
"She is a maid," Loki growled. "Guards, take her to the dungeons," the trickster prince's voice was sharp and left no room for disobedience.
"What happened?" Thor bent down to look at the shattered china.
"We were just looking over a few things, I left to get tea and came back to see a figure trying to stab Frigga," you shudder. "She must have thought it was me... Oh, gods, Frigga I'm so sorry,"
The woman shook her head, starting to heel the shallow cut. "No, you saved my life, worry not of the original intention,"
An understanding nod was given. "Y/n, will you please follow me?" Odin looked to you.
"You don't have to go," Loki held you back until you pat his cheek.
"It's alright," you curtsy for the Allfather before following him out the room and down the hall. "What may I do for you, Allfather?"
"It appears I owe you an apology, and my deepest gratitude," Odin halts quite a bit from the room.
"Forgive me, but I am confused," you mumble quietly.
"I thought you merely as nothing more than a maid, seeking higher status and riches... but after much contemplation and your actions tonight, it appears I am wrong," Odin was apologizing to you! What the nines?? "Continue to court my son, he loves you very much and I can tell you do too... You saved my love so it is only fair I let yours flourish,"
"Thank you, Allfather," you curtsy once more, holding back a successful yell of delight.
"Odin, please, I feel we are past formalities,"
"Of course, Odin,"
"You are dismissed," He gestures back to your chambers which after another bow you scurried off, hopeful to maintain poise and grace.
"What did he say?" Loki was the first to meet you.
"He apologized, owes me gratitude and... approves of our courting," you squeal out as Loki engulfed you in his arms, letting your feet lift of the ground.
"Oh, that's wonderful!"
Thor joined in on the hug, squishing you both until you wheezed out. "Breathing is necessary, Thor!"
"Sorry," he laughs and pats your shoulders. "I must tell the others!"
"Try not to let the whole realm know, you oaf!- Ow!" Loki clutches his ear.
"Quiet, Loki," Frigga warns with a smile. "I must retire to my chambers,"
"Do you wish for us to escort you?" You hold out your hand.
"It's not the first attempted assassination I have had to deal with, my dear, I will be fine, goodnight,"
"Goodnight, Frigga,"
"Goodnight, Mother," the moment the door shut your lips were pressed against his. "I love you, Y/n,"
"I love you too, Loki,"

When you went to breakfast you were stopped by the girls, they all bombarded you with questions. Asking if you were ok, what had happened, was it really Fera, and the such.
You assured them with truthful answers. Bjorn had to stop Diana from storming the prisons to strangle Fera to death... multiple times.
But soon everything had returned to normal. Until, before Fera was to be trialed, you took a visit to the prisons. Only Sif knew of this and you were thankful she kept her word days before you were set to go.
"Fera," the girl lifted her bagged eyes to glare at you.
"Wench," she sneered as you stepped up the white staircases and sat across. You didn't want her to sit while you stood so leveling your eyes would be better. "Why are you here?"
"Because I wanted to make sure you were ok,"
"Ok? You came here to see, after I nearly killed you twice, if I was ok?" she scoffed at your nod. "Why?"
"Because... I'm not sure, but I felt as though I should,"
Her gaze trailed away to the passing guards who eyes her suspiciously. "My trial is today, isn't it?"
"Yes,"
"And I will be banished?" She looked almost hopeful.
"Well, you did attempt murder three times... one time being of the queen which isn't the best law to break," you smile as she chuckles quietly, a laugh you had never heard. It wasn't malicious or mocking, it was amusement.
"Good... I wanted to leave this place in style,"
"Style being cuffs and chains?" She shrugged at your enquiry. "I'm assuming jealousy was a motive?"
"Can't blame me... you turn up here less than two years ago and now here you are the top of the food chain, yet you never once treated me badly... it's frustrating,"
"Because it's not in my nature, I know there's good in you, Fera, after every insult, I knew,"
"Thank you, Y/n,"
