Astrid is princess of Alfheim. Her father is God Freyr. He and Odin, ruler of Asgard, decided to marry their two children. Astrid immediately agrees not wanting to anger her father while Loki is against it at first. Everything changes when he meets Astrid for the first time. [Loki] [Pre-Thor]

"Don't worry. I can feel it too.," A forced marriage. A sacrifice for her people. A war. And then there's Loki. The annoying, sarcastic, self-absorbed, opinionated, mischief-making, fallen prince of Asgard who seems to make his own history with the princess... "'Don't say that again.' Loki growled. He came closer while I backed away until I was nearly falling down the edge of the ship. He was menacing, his eyes burning with rage and his posture waiting for me to make a move, so he could attack. I only noticed his chest pressed heavily against mine when it was too late. His hands grabbed my hips tightly to prevent me from escaping and his breath mixed with mine."
