Betrothed || Loki ✅

1- Betrothed?

CHAPTER 1

I lay on my bed and staring up at the ceiling bored out of my mind.
With my parents both busy with their royal duties and my brother, Ayden preparing to become king I don’t really have much company.

Growing up I was always Ayden’s one and only priority, until my father announced that he would take his place as king of Alfheim in a matter of years, that’s when the tables turned, and I found myself being shunned by Ayden, left to live in his shadow.

I occupied myself with books and the occasional small talk I shared with a small fraction of the palace guards, but it just wasn’t the same as having him around.

I closed my eyes suddenly tired and heard a knock at my door, “come in!” I yelled allowing who turned out to be a guard to come in
“Your majesty, king Einar has requested your presence in the throne room.”
“Thank you, you may be excused” I smiled at him whilst getting up from my bed.
He gave a small nod and left the room.

I walked down to the throne room and through the golden doors to find my parents siting on their thrones and my brother standing beside my father, they all had serious expressions as if I had committed treason.

I tried to recall if I had done anything even slightly rebellious recently and remembered that I had snuck out of the palace grounds unattended last week to get some fresh air without a guard breathing down my neck.
I was sure that I was going to get into trouble for that, I knew I couldn't have gotten away with it.

“Katherine” my father spoke

I fiddled with my fingers as he continued to speak

“as you know we have made peace with the Asgardians” he spoke slowly “but as a part of the peace treaty we came to an agreement that you my daughter and princess of Alfheim, will wed one of Odin’s sons. You will depart from Alfheim in three days and stay with the royal family of Asgard, during your stay you will be given the opportunity to become acquainted with your betrothed, we will come to visit for the wedding which will take place in a few months. I know this is hard for you to hear but you must understand that there is nothing I can do to change the treaty, not without starting a war. ”

I stood there paralysed as if every muscle in my body had frozen in place.

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, I wanted some company yes, but I wasn’t so desperate that I would want to marry a stranger.

“Are you being serious? Is this some sort of joke? You can’t just send me away to marry a stranger! Do I look like an object that you can just trade and give away! Am I of that little worth to you?” I yelled at him feeling furious that he didn’t even bother to consult this with me or ask for my opinion on the matter.

“As the princess it is your duty” he said with a pained expression

I stepped back and looked at my mother and then at my brother both who were silent before I ran out of the throne room and back into my chambers.

I let my self fall onto my bed where I let my tears spill over my linen sheets.

How could this have happened
