Betrothed || Loki ✅

3- Asgard

CHAPTER 3

For the next three days I spent as much time possible roaming around the castle and spending time with my brother. Trying to create as many memories as possible. Who knew how long it will be till I see him next? For all I know I might not even see him after the wedding.

I sat at my vanity brushing through my long brown hair. I didn't know if I should feel sorry for myself anymore. I keep telling myself that this was my duty, that everything will be fine. Maybe I might end up liking my betrothed, I might even grow to love him. Only time will tell what kind of relationship we will have.

I wonder how he might treat me. I wonder if he will even like me.

I put the brush down and take a deep breath in and out.

It'll be fine, I reassure myself.

I stand up and walk into my closet which is almost empty. I only left a few dresses that I don't really want and the dress that I had chosen to wear to Asgard. My mother said that first impressions matter and that I should look my best while meeting my future husband.

I got dressed and left my chambers walking down to my brother's chambers to say my final goodbye.

I knocked on his door and waited for him to answer.  He didn't answer, he must still be sleeping, Ayden always did like to sleep in, he earned it anyway the meetings and engagements keep him up late. After a few more knocks I gave up and walked down to the main entrance where I would be escorted to the Bifrost and taken to Asgard where I will live for the rest of my life.

When I arrive at the main entrance I notice that Ayden is already there, I smile to myself before running up to him and embracing him in a tight hug.

"I promise I'll visit as much as possible," he told me hugging me tighter.

"I'm going to miss you" I cried into his chest.

"I will miss you the most" he croaked.

After pulling away I hugged my mother who was drowning in her tears.

"Be safe my child" she wept "I will see you at the wedding" and with that, she pulled away and caressed my cheek, "I love you" she whispered.

"I love you too" I whispered back to her, not even bothering to ask her about my father's whereabouts, he must be filled with glee that I'm finally leaving.

Two palace guards escorted me to the Bifrost. I stepped in and was embraced by a familiar green light.

After the sickening journey through the Bifrost, I was greeted by three Asgardian guards who took me to the palace to meet the royal family.

Each step felt like torture. With every second that passed by, I got more and more anxious. Every possible negative scenario came into my mind. What if they all hate me? What if I do something to offend them and they throw me into the dungeons? What if I offend them to a degree that they declare war onto Alfheim?

When we arrived at the palace I was left in awe of its beauty. When we got inside I was left more astounded than I was before. It was magnificent and enchanting.

That's when I saw them, the royal family of Asgard.

An old man, who I assumed to be Odin, was seated on a large golden throne, beside him was a beautiful woman who was standing next to two men. One was rather large due to his excessive muscles, he had blonde hair and wore a genuine smile. beside him stood a man, I was taken aback by his looks, his slick black hair and his green eyes that left me mesmerised. He obviously prided himself in largest smirk in the nine realms, but wow did it look good on him.
