TOO DARK TO SEE // LOKI X READER [COMPLETED]

Chapter 6: Trouble and Catastrophe

The days become lonely once again, well not entirely since Astrid and your parents are there with you just without Loki. Loki went back to Asgard to handle some problems especially a problem regarding his brother Thor. He was still hurt but felt better after you motivated him that day. Somehow, something bad was about to happen at Vanaheim. The maids came knocking at your door and it was quite early but you were already up. Saratane one of your palace's maids opened your door panting. "Is there a problem Sara?" You asked her. She shook her head. "No, apparently but we have a guest and you should get dressed Your Highness." She said as she prepared you a scented bath. You looked at her puzzled while placing your journal down. "S-Sara... who is our guest exactly? Could you please tell me?" I asked her again. She turned to look at me. "Oh! It's the king's brother Your Highness... Sir Nörden." She replied quickly while preparing the bath.

You leaned back against your desk. "Sir Nörden? Father's brother? Who could he actually be?" You mumbled to yourself until Saratane called you snapping you out of your thoughts. "Princess! Your bath is ready!" You turned and quickly rushed into the bath. "O-Oh right..." You replied. Once you finally got ready you head towards the dining room together with Astrid, looking at her state and dark under eyes you knew she woke up late . There you saw a man with pitch black hair and somewhat crimson eyes wearing a black leather jacket a creepy and yet mischevious smile spread onto his lips as you and Astrid entered. "Ahh.... are these lovely girls my niece?" He hummed. Your father laughed proudly. "Why yes! That is the eldest, Astrid and our genius [Y/N]." He introduced.

The both of you curtsy, Astrid really went overboard with it while you just bowed still examining the man. You leaned slightly closer to Astrid. "Doesn't that man seem... a bit off to you? Don't you feel it?" You whispered. She nodded. "Why yes... that man has the creepiest look to be ever worn by monsters. " She replied with the unecessary remark. You rolled your eyes. "Anyway let's just act natural..." You shoved her. She huffed. "That was my line....!" She shouted in a whisper like manner. The both of you sat down beside your mother taking a first bite of your meal.

"So..... I suppose Astrid here is the brave warrior am I right? While [Y/N] is a master at ruling a kingdom?" The man asked. Your father nodded. "Yes, yes! Astrid is the warrior princess...[Y/N] is the brains of Vanaheim." He said proudly making you roll your eyes. 'How can he trust this man... I dont care if he's his brother... he cannot give information out just like that!' You thought while glaring at the man. "Oh umm... Ahem! Girls I'm sure you might be wondering who this man is... he is your father's older brother, Sir Nörden." You mother awkwardly introduced. You could tell she knew something was a bit off about the man.
" It's a pleasure to meet you sir." You bowed again. The man chuckled and pushed you to sit down by the shoulder. " Dont be so formal, just call me Uncle Nörd!" He said cheerfully. You fake a smile and replied, "Yes ,Uncle Nörd.."

This man is really creeping the Hell out of you.

Once you've all finished your meal, you head down the halls that led towards your chambers. That is when you were about to close your door, you noticed Sir Nörden wandering mysteriously around the halls. You peeked from your door and realized he was looking for something. You slowly closed the door and decided to use your magic on him. You used your foresight magic to see what he was up to. To your surprise, he was actually looking for the guest's chamber. You couldn't believe it. 'He was looking for his room? Seriously? But I still have to keep my eyes on him.... he might be up to something ... not now.. maybe he'll try another time.' You thought.

The days in the palace went on like usual and nothing too much of the ordinary happened. Still though, you weren't fond of your so called uncle. He was dark, mysterious and cannot be trusted. 'Says the one who steals food and lies 24/7.' You scoffed to yourself.
That is until one day, you passed by his chambers and accidentally heard him talking. You were alone and he sounded suspicious so, why not? You pressed your left ear onto the golden door not making a single sound. "Oh brother.... is this how you rule a kingdom?" You heard him. "Pathetic really..." he continued. "No worries, Vanaheim will see a perfect new king when I get rid of you." He chuckled menancingly. Your eyes widened and your breath hitched.
'No...' You thought. You used your magic to silence your running footsteps and ran towards your sister's room. "Astrid!" You call out. Soon, she appeared from her bathroom in her nightgown with her soaked hair. "What? What is it????" She panicked. You tried calming down and sat on the edge of her bed. " I have bad news...." You spoke. Her face grew serious. "What bad news?" She asked in a more professional tone. "Sir Nörden... I overheard him talking to himself in his chambers... and I know his plan.. it isn't good." You explained. Astrid became curious. "What is his plan, if I may ask?"

" To get rid of father and rule Vanaheim."

Days went by and you often caught your uncle carrying out his mission. Astrid believed you but the only problem is.... your father, the king.
Could he even believe you? No.. no you yourself doubted it. Your mother too has been trying to help warn her husband but no use. He's way too stubborn... just like Astrid. Suddenly one night you saw your father shouting while kneeling at your uncle. "I would never do that to my queen!!!" You heard your father shout from afar. "You just did brother!!" You uncle shout back. Then your mother rushed out of her chambers and help soothe the scene. "Dear... please... get up..." Your mother demanded. The king slowly stood up with shaky legs but then your uncle pushed him back down to kneel. "Queen Skadi!! He tried to kill you with magic and yet you still are defending him??!!!" He shouted right in your mother's face. That whole sentence made you froze in your place. 'He.... what?' You thought in disbelief.
You somehow calmly walked towards the trio. "What's going on here..? Mother, father? Uncle Nörd?" You asked politely.

Your uncle's face lit up. "Ah! Good timing [Y/N].... your father here was trying to kill your mother with magic and luckily I stepped into the scene to stop him." He explained. Your eyes widened with shock. Soon Astrid appeared beside you. "What...?" She asked sounding rather shocked. "Father tried to...." She looked down at your father disappointed. Your uncle placed a hand on her shoukder sending her a sad look. "Apparently so....I'm sorry... he must've gone berserk." He said soothing her. She immediately believed him which was the last thing you wouldn't want to happen. You yourself absolutely did not believed this man. A frown appeared on your features. "I am highly disappointed of you father! You weren't whom I expected you to be! A killer?! You would kill our mother?! That's it!
[Y/N], I'm done with this old man!!!" She screamed stomping away in anger. You looked at her puzzled. "Guards! Take him away!" Your uncle ordered. You were taken aback by what he said. "Where are you going to take him?" You asked cautiously trying not to siund suspicious. He turned to you. "He will be banished from Vanaheim. Forever." He concluded. You stood frozen in your place. Your mother on the other hand dropped to her knees and started sobbing.

A few years later, Sir Nörden was crowned king. You weren't happy at all. You became your usual dark self. Astrid on the other hand grew more fond of your uncle which you find stupid. 'How could she just believe him? Can't she see through his lies?' You thought.
"[Y/N]!! The bestest uncle in the world is now a king!! He's better than our wretched father..." She beamed beside you. You rolled your eyes. "Your uncle... not mine.." You casually stated. She pouted at you and started cuddling you.
"Arghhhh!! Stop cuddling me, Astrid! We're grown woman have some shame ! Everyone's looking! Stoppp ittttt!!!" You said as you tried pushing her away. Yes, you were already a grown woman especially after all those years. You were ready to make your own decisions. You knew your father wouldn't do such things and that's why you were going to call him back. You couldn't imagine your kingdom in this man's hand.

Even if you had to fight your own sister for this.
