The Saviour (Loki Love Story)

Chapter 49 The Prince of Alfheim.

Scarlett's POV

I can't wait for the ball tonight and I'm so happy for Loki. Yes, I become Queen but I'm more happier for him then myself. Loki deserves this after everything with Thanos, Nick, Malekith, the Other and the Enchantress, he deserves this more than anyone. He looks so happy, knowing he truly belongs and I get to be by his side. Forever as King and Queen.

We are all dressed up ready for the ball and just chilling in our room before the party starts.

"So what happens at this ball?" I ask as we relax in bed.

"We greet the guests from all the different realms, dance and feast and basically say thank you a lot as everyone congratulates us." He explains, "And about half way through, Odin will drag me away to go over 'kingly' things that I need to know."

I nod, "Sounds fun and boring."

He chuckles, "A bit. I remember going through all this when Thor was going to be crowned King. It was quite a bore but honestly I can't remember much, I was drunk. I guess its my turn now."

"You will be fine and it will be worth it in the end."

"I still cannot believe I'm going to be king." He says, still in shock.

I smile, "I think you will be a great king."

"And you will be a great Queen."

We kiss and I pull away, "Don't we have to go and meet that prince from Alfheim?"

He nods, "Yeah, we should go. We need to make sure this meeting insures peace between both realms."

We leave the comfort of our bed and go down to the great hall. Once inside, we go to stand beside Odin, Frigga and Thor as our guests arrive.

Then a guy enters with loads of his guards behind him and Loki tells me telepathically, 'That's the Prince'

'A lot of guards for one prince'

The prince bows before us, his guards doing the same, "Your majesties." He stands up, "My name is Seth, the prince from Alfheim. I hope today we can achieve peace between our two realms."

Odin nods, "I wish the same thing. I am Odin, king of Asgard. This is my queen and wife Frigga and our sons, Thor and Loki." He gestures to all of us before announcing me, "This is Loki's wife Scarlett. Please enjoy your stay."

He nods, his eyes lingering on me longer then I would like, "Thank you, your majesty."

He goes to join the crowd of guests, collecting his drink but keeping his eyes on me. What a creep. There's defiantly something wrong with that guy.

Loki puts his arm around me, "I didn't like the way he was looking at you."

"Yeah, he gives me the creeps. Something is wrong with that guy."

"Stay close to me tonight." Loki tells me.

I nod, "I will."

After that, the party continues. Me and Loki dance most of the evening and drink. It's nice how people keep congratulating us for being chosen to be the next rulers of Asgard. I never thought about being royalty once even though I knew Loki was a prince, I just never thought I could be Queen. Now thinking about it, I'm really excited and I hope I make Asgard proud.

A servant passes me a drink as me and Loki stand to one side watching everyone dance, exhausted from dancing.

Odin appears beside us, gesturing to Loki, "My son, it's time."

Loki nods before kissing me on the cheek, "I will be back soon."

"Don't be too long."

He nods and I watch him as he leaves with Odin. Then I begin to feel dizzy, maybe I should go to my chambers, must have drunk too much alcohol. But I have only had two glasses. Whats wrong with me?

I begin to leave when Seth appears in front of me and I cringe, "Lady Scarlett, you look beautiful this evening."

"It's Scarlett and thanks but I must leave. I feel incredible tired and need to rest but it was so nice meeting you."

He nods with a smirk on his face, "Let me escort you to your chambers."

"I will be fine." Than I push past him and leave the hall.

I'm half way down the corridor when I nearly stumble, my body feeling weaker by the second. Something is wrong with me, I feel so weak. This isn't alcohol. I need to find Loki.

"Scarlett let me help."

Seth puts an arm me and helps me down the corridor, despite my protests. He helps me into a room as I begin to lose feeling in my legs.

"Seth, I can walk myself. Wait, this isn't my room, where am I?"

He lets me go and my legs give in and I collapse to the floor. I can't move. What's wrong with my body?

Seth chuckles, "I must apologise for that, but I knew it would be the only way to take you."

I look up at him, trying to move away from him and failing, "You poisoned me?"

He smirks, "Indeed I did. A paralysing drug. Don't worry it's not permanent and will only last a few hours."

"Why?" My arms give in and I collapse flat on my back, looking at him, "Why? Why did you do this?"

He chuckles, "If I'm going to succeed in taking over Asgard and bringing down the Odinson family, I need leverage. And you, princess Scarlett, are the beloved princess who saved their family beloved son Loki and is the future Queen of Asgard. You are perfect to use against them."

"We wanted to make peace, we have no quarrel with your people."

He glares at me, "Asgard must be destroyed. Peace is nothing but a stupid fancy to put us in order and make us follow your demands. To help your Wars. Well, no longer will Asgard stand tall, it will fall and burn."

I try to move my body and he chuckles, "I admire your determination to never give up."

"What are you going to do to me?"

He smirks, "Let me show you."

He picks me up and carries me into the bathroom. Instantly, I see he has modified the bath tub with chains he has screwed into place. He lowers me into it, before chaining my wrists and then I realise.

My heads too low, if he turns the tap on, I'll drown.

"I thought you were going to use me as leverage." I remark.

He smirks, "I am. But by the time your beloved husband Loki finds out, he and everyone in that hall will be paralysed and powerless, with no powers or people to protect him or his family. Did you really think I only poisoned you?" He chuckles as he turns on the tap, water slowing gushing out, "They will die by my hand. I might even kill Loki myself. Goodbye Scarlett." He then leaves me to die as the water pours out the tap, hitting my legs.
