The would be king.

A mistake

Lokis POV

I was sure she would understand, how could she not, she had known me since for so many years, she always saw how I was always cast aside for Thor, why was she being so unreasonable?

I sat there for a while alone in the garden, it must have been at least three hours, it might of seemed rather weak for me but no one knew about the gap in the hedge so I was sure I wouldn't have been disturbed, just the way I liked to be, undisturbed. Time was passing quicker than I cared to acknowledge however and I knew I would have to make my way back to the castle at some point, to grace those idiots with my presence and finish of my plans for tomorrow's events. As I walked back to the castle part of me hoped to catch a glimpse of Sigyn. I don't know why I enjoyed being around her, I suppose I could of put it down to the fact I enjoy working her up, I couldn't help but smile at the thought of her having one of her huffs, every year her fuse had gotten shorter.

"Brother" Thors arm clenched around my shoulders and almost surprised me, his plastic smile dripped with arrogance "Are you ready for tomorrow?" his eyes were scanning all the people around us and he was rising his hammer up at them as if to greet them

"Of course Brother, I am thrilled" I tried to stop the sarcasm seeping through

"So you should be" he chirped "I'm glad your happy for me, sweet of you brother" he removed his arm "don't worry though I will not have you refer to me as king you may still address me as brother"

"How kind of you" I said bluntly, he was too busy waving at the adoring peasants walking past to notice my tone

"Don't thank me brother, We're still equals" he paused to wave at another women who was in my opinion far to excited to see him "as such anyway, look at them wave to there new king"

"You're not king yet brother" I said harshly but he was emitting too much vanity again to notice my tone

"Where are you going then?" his arm found its way back off my shoulder

"Well, I was looking for Theodic actually" I felt the smug smile arrive on my face, I might as well have some fun.

"Theodic? What for?" Thors' egotistic tone did not change and he was paying little attention

"I need to talk to him about his Fiance"

"Sigyn?" he looked at me

"Yes"

"Why?"

"I have a present for the two of them" It was only a little lie but it was making me feel better already

"A bit late brother, they've been engaged over a month now but he will no doubt be in Sigyns chamber or back at his own place"

"Thank you" I grinned before taking his arm off my shoulder and with that I turned direction to Theodics' as fast as I could to get away from that oaf, I was simply going to warn Theodic of his position with Sigyn.

How could I feel this way about her, it annoyed me but I felt like it was my job to protect Sigyn, she should be mine, I wanted the power over her, I wanted her to belong to me.

Sigyns POV

I felt uneasy after leaving Loki, I went straight to the dress parlour.

"We thought we would be seeing you much sooner than this my Lady" said Arola when I entered.

"I've been distracted" I looked down at the metal around my finger

"Oh yes with the engagement, he's a wonderful man, congratulations, hopefully you'll be back for a dress fitting in a few months time"
