A/N: English is not my first language. but i hope you would like my story.

It was almost dark when the hooded figure on a horse saw the Asgard city on the horizon. Smirking,the person increased the speed of the horse.

In the palace-

Two nobles were talking to each other while leaving the throne room.

"This is outrageous! Never in my long life have seen something like that!" said one of them

"I just don't know how anyone could do it without being noticed by heimdell? Three murders! Unsolved!" Later one exclaimed.

"It worries me that, two of them are nobles. Clearly, someone has a grudge against high born people."

"Someone always has a grudge against high born people. It is not uncommon in the game of politics. What surprised me is that, someone dared to act on it, when there was a full chance that heimdell would see it."

"Well, clearly this murderer knows how to hide from heimdell's view!" the former one said grimacing.

"I don't know what to think anymore! Even king Odin seems in distress. I really hope our investigators are good enough to find out the killer."

"Now that you say about it, I think Prince Loki was right. We've become too dependent on heimdell. As a result our law enforce department has legged behind. Well, of course nobody felt the necessity to kill either when heimdell was in question."

"Well, I agree with Prince Loki too. We shouldn't have been this reluctant. Apart from mischief, this boy really knows political techniques.I wish he was a little bit more mature."

"Don't worry educh, he is only 1025, nothing but a boy. In time, he'll grow up. Plus it is the time for him to have fun. He is not old nobles like us!"

"Whom are you calling old? I'm not old." Educh said teasingly. "My mind is still young like fresh dew of morning, my dear balthazar."

Balthazar pats Educh roughly "That's the spirit my friend!"

Educh yelps and rubs his back. "I said my mind is young, not my body you oaf."

Balthazar says only shakes his head, laughing out loud.

E/N:How do you like it? let me know. Yes Asgard is city. The capital city. Not whole planet here .And don't get angry. I just wanted to set up the plot 1st. then the main characters will appear. and yes Educh and Balthazar like Loki.I find it hard to believe that Loki had no supporters in noble class. I would not be surprised if all of them preferred Loki over Thor. I mean there is always a clash between noble and warrior class (Though Loki belongs to both).And Asgard is a city of magic. Why in the world, people will hate magic and girlish? (Do voltemore, Loki, dumbledore seem girlish to you? Hell no!). I think, it is Loki's pranks; that they're unhappy about but not all of all them.

"some do battles, other do tricks"- is line coming from a offended Thor who felt insecure about being saved by his lil bro. but he forgets that-everyone needs to get rescued at some point and the older needs protection of the younger too. ;)
