My mother walked into my room with a bundle of small paintings (photos but fancy). Today was the day I am to leave for Asgard to met the man I am to marry. Mother has said he is a heartless man that is high up in status so I will be well kept. I am glad she found a man without a heart. It would be hard to agree if I would just walk into another family to break their hearts too.
"Rosalina... I found these in the cabinet. They are painting of all of us. I'm not sure if you wish to take them since they might bring up memories." My mother always knew how to brighten up my mood but also keep it deadpan so it wouldn't cause a reaction with my emotions. She had them wrapped in a cloth so I couldn't see them in case I declined to take them.
"Mother, I would love to take them. To remind myself when I feel down and want to see my families faces. I promise I'll be careful with them and my emotions so don't worry." I gave her a soft hug and she returned it with rubbing my back.
"We will miss you. Your father will probably visit you when he travels to Asgard. Maybe Theodora and I can come visit is you are feeling well." I can tell how much she is holding back her own emotions. She has an emotionless expression on but I can tell she wants to pull me into a deep hug and never let go.
"I would love that. Just don't bring me any surprise visits. Maybe I can invite you also if my future husband allows.... Actually, mother?"
The question I've been dreading to ask. "Whom am I to wed on Asgard?" She said she picked the perfect man, emotionless. But she never said who. And I've been afraid to ask.
"My child... he is truly heartless and won't grow attached to you. He is rich enough to go way beyond comfort. I have also heard he has a Lady in secret whom he has a relationship with already. So you will only get in the way which will strengthen his uncaring nature to you." I could tell she was avoiding the question by telling me how perfect he is for my situation.
"Mother. Please tell me. I am to wed in 2 days and I've never even heard his name. Only that he is perfect for me and he is from Asgard. Why do you keep avoiding to answer. Is he that bad that you wish not to make me fear?" She looked to the ground and sighed. Then she looked back up to my eyes and grabbed my hands.
"Rosalina. You are to marry..." she looks away "Loki, Prince of Asgard." She looks back towards me and I can already start to feel my heart constricted.
"Loki? A prince... Prince of Asgard. You are making me a princess. A whole realm will call me their Princess just for me to die. What were you thinking mother?" She brought our hands together in front of us and rubbed the back of them trying to calm me down.
"He is the perfect man and I heard he is a fallen Prince. Years ago he did something which caused Asgard to no longer think of him as such. He is a shadow of a prince. You will not be seen as Princess of Asgard but as the wife of a fallen prince, hated by his people. It's a perfect match both man and status."
I could feel my heart constricted even more. A fallen prince is still a prince. Even if you fall you can be pulled right back up. If he gets pulled up before I die I will pull everyone down. If I become the Princess of Asgard and I die everyone will mourn me. This can't happen, not just my family but now I have to sadden a whole realm and how many more. What other realms are connected to Asgard. How many will greave my death. My chest started to heart. I slipped my hand from my mothers and started to rub my chest hoping for the pain to soothe and go away. But it kept getting worse, I fell to my knees.
"Rosalina it will be fine. He is a fallen prince. Not even a prince at all. No one trusts or likes him on Asgard. He is emotionless and he already has a partner so he won't look at you in any way to for a connection. It will all be fine." She starts to rub my back with one hand and hold my hand tight until the emotions pass. But they don't. "Let's get you on the bed" she helps me climb into my bed and starts to rub my forehead while I continue to rub my chest to release pain.
But all actions are worthless and I fall into one of the curses sleeps.
