Chapter 2: horseback ridings and rulings

After Jane and Thor left for their honeymoon, I and Loki were trying to determine how we were going to be able to rule a whole realm for a week. "This might be a bit messy ruling a realm, what's to say we don't do this right?" I asked obviously nervous about ruling a realm. Sure at the time, I had not expected to rule Asgard when it came with the aspects of marrying Loki, but I was somehow more ready to rule, but not without having some really crazy fears about what might happen in the realm while Jane and Thor were gone. Loki turned to me and gave me a hug, kissing me on my head, comforting me. "You'll be fine don't worry…" he suddenly had an idea. "Tell you what, meet me at the stables in maybe 15 minutes, we might go horseback riding." He said. "Ok, sounds good, I will try and be there." I said giving him a kiss on his lips, going to change into my horseback riding clothes. Mine was similar to Loki's but it was silver, black and gold and it had white gloves with it. As I started walking towards the stables, I saw Sigyn and Theoric with big smiles on their faces. "Hey, guys! How's everything going between you two?" I asked giving Sigyn a hug, but noticing something a little off about her stomach. "Hello, your majesty, everything is much better between us, thanks to queen Frigga. By the way, we are expecting our first child." She said excitedly. My eyes nearly popped out of my head again as she was telling me this. It was weird because just over a few weeks ago, they were fighting; now they looked like a real happily married couple expecting their first baby. "Congrats, you guys! How long have you been pregnant?" I asked curious. "I think it was a few days after the weddings, we kind of reconciled after the talk with Frigga." She explained. 'Kind of?' me and Loki had seen them 'reconcile their marriage' on the wall outside the feast before me and Loki consummated the marriage between us.


So, I got to the stables, waiting for Loki to show up with his horse, clad in my horse riding attire. "Ok, I'm here sweetie." I said letting someone know that I was at the stables. Suddenly I felt nudging on my back. When I turned around there was a big black horse standing right behind me, nuzzling me and even licking me. "Well, hello!" I said giggling at the affection the horse was giving me. It had been ready, saddle, bridle and everything else and it had green eyes. "I wonder where Loki is…" I said to myself. The horse was just trotting around, jumping, and it wasn't until I looked at the saddle that I realized something was very familiar. The saddle had the same straps and colors as Loki's armor and there weren't any black horses with green eyes. My eyes widened in realization. "Loki, is that you?!" I asked. He neighed happily as if saying 'surprise my love!' I kissed in between his eyes and got on his back, leading him out of the stables. "I have to say, you look more daring as a horse." I said still surprised that Loki was a horse. He neighed as if he was saying 'Thank you!' when we got to a meadow, he started galloping fast, as if determined to take me somewhere. "Whoa, slow down Loki! Sheesh you're fast, even for a horse." I said pulling on the reins a little bit. He just continued on forth and neighed as if to say 'I do what I want, now hang on!' we finally stopped to take a break by the river so that he would drink some water. I was a little dizzy from the ride, but otherwise fine. "Good lord! Where do you even want to take me exactly?" I asked handing him an apple from my satchel on the back of the saddle. He ate the apple, and then nuzzled me on my cheek as if to kiss me. "Aww, I love you too sweet pea." I said kissing him in between his eyes and hugging his head. I then remembered what Sigyn had told me before going to the stables. "Oh! By the way, Sigyn and Theoric are expecting their first baby!" I said. He started getting a little crazy, backing away from me as if to say 'WHAT!?' "Hey-hey easy, easy…" I soothed, smoothing my hands on his head, down to his nose and back up again. Eventually he was calm enough for me to say something. "I know you didn't expect it, I sure as heck didn't expect it, but truth is stranger than fiction, so…" I said trying to explain it to him. He nuzzled me again as I got back on him and we went towards where he wanted to take me. When we got there, it was beautiful. The sky was filled with different colors and constellations. "Beautiful, isn't it?" Loki asked when he was back to his asgardian form. "So, this is where you wanted to bring me, huh? It's breathtaking out here." I said taking in the scenery. He embraced me from behind, hugging me to him, and having us sway a little. After a few minutes of being here, he kissed me on my ear trailing down to my neck.


Eventually we got back to the palace, with Loki in his horse form again and when we got back an advisor was waiting for us. "Your majesties, it's time to begin with the daily court activities." He said when Loki was back to his asgardian form again. We got back to the throne room, with us in our royal attire, to get some of the activities done, and some were there to congratulate us on our marriage, even when the way we met wasn't the greatest of ways that couples meet. We had some people come from different realms to bring the both of us gifts for the celebration of the weddings. There were people from Alfheim who were there to congratulate us. "Your majesties, might I say that it's an honor to be before your presence." One of the higher officials said. "Please, the honor is ours." Loki said. "I thought it a rumor about your marriage to a midgardian who is now one of the Aesir as a result of worth and love, but now, I see her beauty, and why she would be worth such a great deal of trouble to grasp in your marriage bed." The man said walking up to me and kissing my hand in greeting. "Take great care about your words to my wife and queen, she is more, virtuous, than anyone of a different realm, more than Sigyn, who I am happy that I don't share my bed with." Loki said in warning. "I meant no disrespect towards her, I assure you, your majesty." He said assuring me and Loki no harm as I put my hand on his wrist and squeezed it, hoping that it would calm him down. He put his hand on mine and put it to his lips and kissed it, telling me that he was calm. "Yes, we have heard of your rather, disastrous, courtship with her ladyship Sigyn the fair, or should we say Sigyn the jealous." The same man said. I was a little worried that Loki would lose his temper, but as I looked at him, he had no emotional investment in her the second the last ounce of patience with her was gone in the form of getting one of his good friends drunk at a party. "Yes, well, she's married to one of my father's soldiers. They weren't getting along at first, that's expected as punishment for jealous behavior, being married to someone who's practically considered her to be a treasure, only to be somewhat more than a fool's jewel himself." Loki said smirking.

Once the somewhat tense conversation was over, the Alfheim officials gave us their wedding gifts, which had consisted of some flowers, some of them from guarded palace gardens; their sorcerer gave us their blessing of our marriage and our firstborn child, if we decide to have kids alongside Jane and Thor. And the final gift from the Alfheim people was a staff for Loki to wield in battle. "We thank you all for your generous gifts, people of Alfheim." Loki finished. The Alfheim officials bowed and left leaving the throne room. "I'm surprised you could hold your temper, my darling, how do you do it?" I asked as they all left. Loki just chuckled as he kissed my fingers. "Patience,"- kiss-"Cunning,"-open mouthed kiss on my palm-"And, channeling feelings in non violent activities."-french kissed my mouth, nearly knocking me senseless.


Next in the line of gift-givers, were the Vanir, who had some dresses made from fine and rare fabrics for me and Jane, some more flowers from their gardens, one of them they had smelled like their favorite desserts, which I was impressed with, and gifted wisdom for all of us, and perfumes for Frigga, myself and Jane. The next groups of gift givers were the dwarves, who presented jewelry for me, Jane and Frigga, the strongest armor for Loki, which he was somewhat fine with, and I think a new helmet for Thor. As the final amounts of gifts were being given, we decided to have dinner in our room, just to save ourselves a night of feasting with the others. We were in our bedchambers, eating some meats and cheeses with fruits and mead, we talked about the gifts that were being given to us by the people of the realms. "So, what's with the conflict between you and the other elven folk of Alfheim, if I may ask?" I asked after noticing the slight tension between the Alfheim official and him. "Well, I may have caused a bit of trouble with their princess, who I think still has a grudge on me." He said chuckling a little bit in remembrance. "I hate to ask, but what happened, exactly?" I asked cringing about what he was about to tell me. "Well, when I and Thor were teenagers, we went with my father to see if I would court their princess, who seemed of a more desperate disposition. She had said something to me that insulted me, and, well I may have increased the size of her bust in retaliation." He said still laughing. I quirked an eyebrow at what he was saying. "You mean you increased the size of her breasts?" I asked. "Yes, and to this day, they need to make sure that her potential suitors don't look at her chest." He said laughing. I started laughing about this also, picturing what happened; it was hard not to laugh so damn hard when something like that happens. We did this for a while until we were done and started changing for bed, getting into our nightwear.


The next morning, I woke up to Loki underneath the covers, kissing the insides of my thighs, almost immediately waking me up from sleep. "L-L-Loki, what are you d-doing?" I said panting and moaning from the sensations that he was giving me. He slinked towards me, kissing me along the way, making a stop at my nipples, before reaching my face where he wrapped his arms around me and kissed me senseless. "Trying to wake you up, my flower, I need to work a little harder because you look,"-he pulled my thighs apart, positioning himself between my legs.-"So,"- put his finger in my heat, testing my wetness and making me moan.-"Very, very,"-Kissed me on my mouth, wrapping both arms around me.-"Sleepy." He started out slow in his pace, going in and out of me, sensations going off in me like fire crackers on a Chinese New Year festival. He then started going a little faster, with me smoothing my hands down his hard back, feeling his muscles flex with every movement he would make. "Don't stop, keep going please." I begged drowning in sensations as quick as they were coming. Oh, he kept going alright, until both of us came harmoniously together. "You should wake me up more often like that, if you get the chance." I said as he kissed my nose. "Oh I can, I just choose to let you wake up like that." He said playfully. We both had a bath and had breakfast in the feasting hall, where some of the warriors three planned to spar for most of the afternoon.


Me and Loki were sitting in the throne room, bored as heck, apparently, Loki's idea of 'bored as heck', was dealing with the same stuff that would occur like settling disputes, some that went from a small thing, to something that even Judge Judy would have a semi-hard time settling. We took a break to kind relax from what was going on with these disputes that were going on. It wasn't until we got back to the throne room that something happened that was at least worth something to remember: a daughter of a poor family was kidnapped by someone who was part of a more noble family, who claimed from a dream that the woman was to be his bride if he were to take her. Where I come from, that equals very hard time in prison for 'bride kidnapping', but things were different here on Asgard. It was getting fiercer by the minute until Loki, ultimately annoyed with the events, told me to cover my ears. I did, and Loki wind up casting a spell that caused the noise to be pretty loud. That made them quiet, pretty quickly. "Well, now that's settled, how long has the woman been in the house?" he asked in his kingly manner. "My King, she had been at the house for a little over 4 months, we were angry at the man when he took her. We thought that he would claim her as his own, but he wanted to somehow woo her in his own way." The servant of the noble house explained. "What would be your name then, good lady?" Loki asked. "Your majesties, my name is Kristianna, we fell through hard times within the past, my mother had died from illness, and when I was kidnapped, I thought that I was going to have my maidenhead ripped away from me, but he cares about me, in a strange way, so to speak." Kristianna explained when she bowed. "What do you mean by strange, Kristianna?" I asked, hoping to get some sort of reason as to how he cares about her. "Well, it's like he wants me to love him, but he doesn't want me to leave him behind, it's almost as if he's desperate." She said, looking at her kidnapper.

Her kidnapper stepped forward, bowing before us. "Your most gracious majesties, I am Nikolai Argeirson, I know that it was the most barbaric and outlaw of ways for me to find a bride, but I kept having the same dream over and over again, until I finally had to take her. My mother was sick; my father had died from battle, leaving me at a young age to take care of her, even with the other servants around." Nikolai said, nearly having tears from his eyes. Kristianna's father spoke up about what he was saying. "It's a bunch of lies, my king, don't listen to him!" he shouted. Loki had an irritated look on his face, before I had him calm by kissing him on the cheek. "Nikolai, do you love her, and I mean genuinely love her?" I asked. "I love her enough for her to have my children, whether they are son, daughter, or more than one child." He said with conviction, I could tell that he was telling the truth, I even looked at Loki and even he couldn't detect a lie in his voice. "Kristianna, do you love him?" I asked. "Yes, I just don't know if I can be able to provide for him, even if he is of nobility." She said afraid of disappointing him. "Your majesty, he lies, he's manipulating her!" her father spoke again out of turn. "If you won't let the lady speak her mind, I will have the guards escort you out, otherwise, wait until you are allowed to speak." I said in a stern yet gentle tone. The man grumbled, letting his daughter speak. "I have been married to Loki for maybe a week, but I don't love him because of his royal status, I love him because of what's inside him as a person. He's not Loki, the Prince of Asgard, the silver tongue, the Liesmith, he's just Loki. Sweet, adorable and playful Loki, who makes me feel loved and happy." I said. "Has your father been trying to have you betrothed to someone else within the kingdom?" I asked her. "Yes, he tried to have me with a soldier, but I have met him, he's handsome, but he's arrogant, cruel, and only sees me as logical way for a handsome man to have a beautiful woman, he doesn't love me, but I guess that's expected of any man, asgardian or no." she said staring fiercely at her father. "Kristianna, he comes from a rather good family, with fine sons who have fought in the battles, and you will marry him, my daughter!" he said firmly. "No, father! I Love Nikolai and I want to have his sons not Fritjov's!" she said standing her ground firmly. Her father went up to her and nearly slapped her, but was stopped after I called the guards to take him away. "Fritjov? Does that name mean anything to you, Loki?" I asked. "Yes, he's one of the soldiers for Odin, unfortunately, she's right, the man is arrogant and cruel, many women flock to him blindly like bugs to lights." He said inwardly groaning at the mention of the name of the soldier Kristianna's father tried to have her marry.

Eventually, we had everything settled to where Kristianna would be allowed to remain with Nikolai as long as they would marry within maybe the next month or two. Poor Loki was too tired to even eat something for dinner, the dispute was draining. He managed to have the last ounces of strength to have his royal armor off and into pajama pants. He climbed into the covers and I got in after him, with my own nightwear, snuggling up to him. We fell asleep knowing that the next few days were going to be trying until Jane and Thor would get back from their honeymoon, but I somehow felt like we could handle it, one day down, 6 more days to go, what a week it will be.
