Loki POV:

When we came back from the mission, I ran to the basement of the palace. where my father kept all the valuable things of each realm. I went to the winter casket and picked it up. "Stop" I heard as I was caring it.

I knew who that voice was. I said "Am I cursed"

Odin replied "No"

I let the casket down and asked "What am I?"

He said with a calm voice "you're my son"

I turned around looking at him angry. My body was blue and my eyes were crimson red. I said with an angry tone "what more than that" as I began to go back to my normal form. I walked towards him and said "the casket wasn't the only thing you took from Jotunheim that day, was it?"

He looked at me for a while till I reached him. He then said "no, the aftermath of the battle, I went to the temple and found a baby there" he paused for a minute then continued "small baby for a giant, abandoned, suffering, left to die. Laufeyson."

I looked away and said calmly "Laufeyson" I then looked up at him.

He looked at me then said "Yes"

I was lost, sad, shocked by what I was hearing. I shook my head then looked up to him and said "why? You are knee-deep in Jotun blood. Why would you take me?"

He said still looking at me "You were an innocent child"

"No, you took me for a purpose, what was it?" I said in a serious tone trying to calm myself. He just looked at me, which made me angry. I yelled at him "TELL ME"

He replied calmly "I thought we could unite our kingdoms one day, bring about a permanent peace, through you"

"Whaa..." I could not speak; I was still shocked and confused.

He continued "But those plans no longer matter"

I looked at him sad and lost with tears in my eyes. I said in a sad tone "so I am no more than another stolen relic. Locked up here till you might have use of me?"

"Why do you twist my words" he said 

I cut him off "you could have told me what I was from the beginning. Why didn't you?"

He answered "you are my son, I wanted only to protect you from the truth"

I said crying "What because I I I am the monster who parents tell their children about at night?"

"No" he said while turning away.

I said in an angry tone "You know it all makes sense now, why you favoured Thor all these years. Because no matter how much you claim to love me. you are never going to have a frost giant sitting on the throne of Asgard"

"Do not say that Loki, you are my son" he said I just looked at him and shook my head not believing him. He sighed then continued "take the time you need son to process this news. I will tell your brother to not assign you to anything" I just nodded and left.

Y/n POV:

I saw prince Thor and the warriors were back, but I could not see Loki. I started to get worried, was he hurt. I shook the thought away not wanting it to be true. I went to the healing room to see if he was there, but he wasn't. I sighed and went to wait for him in his room. I waited, and waited till the sun went down. I got out of his chambers sad and disappointed. Was he purposely ignoring me? Is it true what they said about him? Am I just another maiden he used for his pleasure? My heart felt heavy as I went to the kitchen to prepare food for the royal family.
