Chapter 33: New Reigns

LOKI held Lilliana's hand tightly as he walked to their destination. Lilliana tried to keep up but it seemed he was too fast and just let Loki drag her somewhere. Loki was determined to take the throne because no one could stop him. Loki opened the door to a bedroom and found his mother crying. He let go of Lilliana's hand went to comfort his mother. Lilliana stood there and watched a side of Loki that she didn't know existed. She saw a single tear run down his check. She knew that he was in pain from being lied to all her life. She walked back until she felt the cold metal of the door and sank down. Lilliana lifted her knees to her chest and cried. She tried taking in the information she had just received just a few moments ago. She was the monster that everyone was afraid of. Not only was she the monster everyone feared but also was Loki. She knew of being lied to all her life. His mother finally stopped her crying and sat with her hands folded in her lap.

"You and Lilliana have to take the throne," she said breaking the silence. When she said this Lilliana stopped her sobbing and composed herself.

"What?" Loki said. He turned to see his mother face to face.

"You and Lilliana have to rule Asgard while Odin is in the Odinsleep." She repeated, "I trust you my son." She pulled his head down and planted a kiss in his hair.

"I will do as you ask, Mother," He replied and got up to receive Gungnir. He went towards Lilliana and offered his arm.  She took it as she wiped her eyes and followed Loki to wherever he was taking her. They soon reached to big golden doors with two guards bowing towards them. She looked up at Loki and stared at him in shock but his face had a blank expression. The guards opened the door to reveal the throne room with another chair added to it. She gasped at the beauty of the chair. Rubies, diamonds, emeralds covered it. They were even more than the rubies and diamonds; oh no they were lots of other jewels that adorned the chair that Lilliana could not even name at the moment because of her happiness. Loki, on the other hand, watched his sister observe the chair. He chuckled as she kept telling the stories of the different gems and what they symbolize. He knew that she wasn't his sister so this would give him the opportunity to show his love for her.  His heart ached whenever he saw her with the Archer. He had hoped that she would forget him and run into his arms. She had run into his arms the day the Archer ended their courtship.  She had cried for weeks. She had tried to end her life in front of him but she didn't. He was there by her side comforting her in every way she needed it. He knew her heart was hurt and he knew that she needed help. As he had helped her three Midgard months ago, she was in return, helping him cope with the information he had received mere hours ago. He flicked his fingers to a maid signaling her to bring the royal garments. Lilliana looked at Loki and stared at him in curiosity. Loki smirked at her as the servants came in and encircled them. Once again, Loki flicked his fingers and pointed to the one holding his cape. They put it on him and put his helmet on

"Which color of cape would you like, love," he asked in a curious tone. Lilliana brought her hand to her chin and rubbed it. She had the choices between purple, red, blue, brown, gold, and silver. She knew that once she picked, that would be her signature color. She finally decided on the purple and waited patiently as the servant put it on her. Loki offered his arm again and walked up the short amount of steps before reaching the thrones. Both of them turned and sat on their chairs. Loki rested his head on his hand and looked towards the door. Suddenly the door burst open making Lilliana jump.

"Allfather we must speak with you urgently..." Sif began. She stared between the 'siblings' and glared at Loki.

"My friends..."Loki began.

"Where's Odin?" Frandall asked Loki as Sif and the Warriors Three walked towards the thrones.

"Father has fallen into the Odinsleep. Mother fears he may never awake again." Loki replied to his friends in the most fake sad tone he could do.
