"No one thinks you're weak, loki. I was protecting Asher. I was afraid he was going to kill her ." she said, looking at him ." But I should have been there to protect you, girls ." loki said, looking at her very bruised face .Julianna sighed and kissed him .
"You were helping family .it's not your fault, loki ."loki just seemed off .they went inside to see Gerald coming towards them ."Your highness. " He said and bowed Julianna didn't say anything ." I came to apologize for my sons actions. " loki stepped in front of Julianna.
"which actions him raping a 14-year-old girl getting her pregnant and threatening to kill her .Or assaulting his queen?" loki was getting visibly agitated again ." All of it, I knew nothing of him getting anyone pregnant or threatening to kill them ." Gerald said .loki walked away at this point but stayed in range .
"You know the penalty for assaulting the queen, right?"Julianna asked Gerald. he nodded . "I do, and I've talked to my wife, and we would like to talk to the girl if it's ok ." Julianna looked at loki, who looked puzzled ." I will talk to her and let you know ."
Gerald nodded and bowed and left . loki came back to her when Gerald left ."Do you think it's a good idea ?" loki asked her Julianna shrugged."Again, it's up to Asher, and if she says no, then that's that." She took lokis hand and they went to their room.
frigga was standing outside their door ."Oh, Julianna, are you ok?" frigga asked .Julianna nodded. "I'm fine. it looks worse than it is. I promise, " frigga nodded." I came to ask if we are holding the wedding here or in asgard ?." She asked . Julianna looked at loki .
" Whatever you want, pet ." he said, smiling at her .she thought about what her and Jane talked about ." Well, I'd like to do the wedding here ... But the party in asgard, is that ok?" Julianna asked, looking at frigga . friggas face lite up .
"That would be perfect .And thor and Jane tell me they are maid of honor and best man, right?" Julianna smiled."Yes, they are, and how about this me and loki plan the wedding you plan the party after ." frigga was extremely excited at this .
"it would be a pleasure. What colors did you pick ?"frigga asked " emerald green and yellow ." loki said frigga smiled, hugged them both, and left ."You know, I think she may just adopt you, lol." loki said .Julianna laughed. "ok, but wouldn't u find it weird to marry your sister, lol."
loki chuckled. "No, I'm not into that ... But technically, you'd be my adopted sister ." He said .loki noticed movement by the fire .Julianna turned to see Asher asleep in one of the chairs."Do we feel safe sending her back to her room ?"
Julianna sat thoughtful, "Not for a few nights there is a cot in the closet we can set up in there so she has her own space ." loki nodded, and headed to the closet .Julianna went to the bathroom and looked at her face; it really did look awful .loki came out and quietly moved Asher.
he then proceeded into the bathroom to find Julianna examining her face ." You're still beautiful. " He said, walking towards her . she smiled at him in the mirror."Well, I don't think these will match any of the wedding colors ." She said and laughed .loki looked at her, and she blushed .
" I love you, pet ."he said, hugging and kissing her . "You know your birthday is in a few days you're turning what 500? " She said with a laugh.he smiled,"actually 1,055 ." He said .she looked shocked. "Really . geeze, I don't know if I can marry such an old man ." She said .
She started laughing. "What's so funny? " He asked." The look on your face, I wasn't serious. I'm happy I get to marry you ." She said .loki picked her up and carried her to bed . he tossed her on it, and she started to giggle ."What was that all about ?" He shrugged.
"it's time to sleep ." He said smiling,"fully clothed ?"She asked, giggling .he snapped, and she ended up in a night gown and him in a pair of shorts ." I wish I could do that would make getting dressed every day much easier and quicker. " She said at this he chuckled
"That it does also makes other things more pleasurable. " He said she blushed with thoughts of what he could do to go through her head . "Oh, pet. I love how dirty minded you can be sometimes ." He said, kissing her .
She stuck her tongue out at him, and he gently bit the end of it .
She gasped; it felt good but weird at the same time .he lay next to he and ran his fingers through her hair . After a while, she drifted to sleep, and loki lay there thinking . What am I going to do with this woman? her bravery amazes me, but it may get her killed.
She needed a blade to keep with her for sticky situations when he couldn't be there .he would send word to the bladesmith in asgard tomorrow . Then I'll just have to convince her to carry it . I wonder if I could teach her some magic .to use in case of emergency.
I will discuss this with my mother and see if it's possible.
