I had to tell Knight, besides, keeping it back for too long will probably will end out terribly. I take Knight to the side a month before Thor's coronation. Knight looks at me, puzzled, as to why I took her to a private place near the castle. It is getting dark out.
"What is it?" Knight asks.
"I...forgot to tell you something." I said.
Knight raises a brow.
"Something?" Knight repeats. "What kind of something are you talking about?"
"Bed time stories," I said. "Which one of them stand out to you?"
"The winter gear one," Knight said.
"...I never heard of the winter gear one," I said.
"Well," Knight said. "It teaches a lesson to be ready in winter, especially when visiting Jotunheim."
"Knight," I said. "I am a Frost Giant."
Knight blinks, absorbing the information, and then she looks confused.
"You look Asgardian," Knight said, taking a good look at me. "How can you be a Frost Giant?"
I willingly change before Knight.
Knight pinches her skin, rubs her eyes, and then takes a double look at me.
"You look better than the average Frost Giant," Knight said. "Blue looks good on you." My Frost Giant half went away. "Who else knows you are a Frost Giant?"
"Frigga,Odin, and Thor." I said. "I am not an Odinson."
Knight's face turns into a 'what kind of joke are you pulling on me?' kind of one.
"Excuse me?" Knight asks.
"I am not an Odinson," I repeat.
"That is a load of crap," Knight said. "You live among the royals and have been referred to as...part of the family."
"Knight," I said, taking her hand. "My real father is Laufey."
"...Pardon?" Knight asks, dumbfounded by the news yet she looks a little comforted.
"My last name isn't Odinson," I said, reluctantly. I let go of her hand. "It is Laufeyson."
"Loki, this is...unexpected." Knight said. She tilts her head. "Is there a reason why?"
"I can trust someone like you to know," I said. Knight straightens her head. "Except you and the royal family; the people of Asgard don't know what I am."
"What you are does not change who you are, Loki." Knight said. "You are the same man I have known since I was a little girl." She feels alongside my cheek, softly, not rough. "You being a Frost Giant doesn't matter. What matters to me is knowing the prince I have fallen for."
Knight accepts me for who I am.
