~Chapter Nine~

"Come in." Analia said, standing up and placing her book on her bedside table.

The door opened to reveal a concerned looking Thor. Analia sighed in relief that it wasn't her father. Or Loki.

"Hello. I heard what happened and wanted to....see how you were feeling." Thor said, trying to choose his words carefully so as to not upset his friend.

Analia walked over to him and engulfed him into a hug, burying her face into his chest.

"I'm so glad your here." She whispered.

"Your father was out of line." Thor replied

"So was Loki." Analia shot back. Thor pulled away from the hug and gave her a look of confusion.

"He told my father that I was leaving. I could have been in Midgard by now and I would be able to live my life." She explained, earning a sympathetic look from Thor.

"I know what my brother did was wrong, but he was scared, so was I. When I read your letter and realised it was too late and you'd be gone. Analia I- it broke my heart."

She looked up at Thor and smiled warmly before hugging him again.

"I'm not going anywhere Thor. My father won't allow it." She uttered.

"More time to spend with me then! And Sif and the Warriors Three. And Loki. Your friends Analia." Thor said.

"Oh, I almost forgot, I have news." He added.

Analia pulled away, staring up at the prince and furrowing her brows in confusion.

Thor took her hands in his and led her over to the edge of the bed to sit.

"Father has informed me, there will be a coronation. Analia, I will be the King of Asgard." He beamed, eagerly awaiting her response.

"Thor! That's amazing! I am beyond happy for you!" She exclaimed, a wide smile forming on her face.

"When is the coronation?" She inquired.

"In a weeks time."

"Are you nervous?"

"A little."

Analia placed a hand on his shoulder.

"You'll do great." She said. Instantly her mind went to Loki. How was he going to react to this? She had told him he would make a better king. Which she still believed, but it was apparent that Odin thought otherwise.

"What is it?" Thor muttered. Analia exhaled deeply.

"I should probably speak with Loki. Let him know I am no longer displeased with him." She explained shaking her head.

"You were right Thor, he was probably just scared. I should speak with him and at least let him explain."

Thor gave her a warm smile and placed a kiss on the back of her hand.

"Be ready for tonight's banquet, father will announce the coronation." He boomed before he exited her chambers.

Analia fixed her hair and made her way to Loki's chambers. She was about to knock on the door when she remembered that Loki would most likely be in the library reading. So she turned around and made her way there.

When she reached the library, the door was slightly ajar and she could see Loki sitting on a bench close to the window with his back to her. She knocked the door and he instantly turned around.

Loki's face lit up when he saw her, and she gave him a warm smile.

"Analia." He gulped.

"Can I come in?" She asked.
