Author's Note:: Review! (: Hope everyone had happy holidays!

The nurse had left Lady Astrid to bathe herself and dress before Thor was done with his training. She sat in the shower wondering exactly what all she had forgotten and she hugged her knees to her chest. This Prince Thor, he was very handsome and he did seem to be telling the truth. Maybe spending the day with him wouldn't be so bad. She stood looking out towards the window in the bathroom. After all, it couldn't hurt to be escorted around the now new to her city and relearn the things she needed to. She turned off the water and made her way towards the counter where her towel was. She quickly dried herself and wrapped it around her, beginning to mess with her long hair.

"My love!" Astrid yelped and quickly turned around grabbing the towel and holding it in his place. He smiled at her walking forwards into the bathroom. She took a few steps back looking around her for a weapon. He stopped and had a confused look on his face.

"It is me Astrid. Loki. Your betrothed. I am filled with happiness to see your glittering eyes again. Look them on me and come to me." He said holding out his arms. He looked at her confused again when she didn't budge. "What is the matter My Princess? Are you ill? The nurse had just informed me of your awaken, not of your condition."

Astrid took a deep breathe and stepped forward still clutching the towel.

"I have not a clue who you are sire," She said bowing a little towards him. "I must of hit my head, but consequently I have lost my memories. You stated your name was Loki correct? It is indecent to intrude upon a lady readying herself even after betrothal. Please step out and when I am done, I shall speak you with Prince." Astrid began walking towards him to close the door as he began backing way.

"Fair enough." He said as the door was closed. "Take all the time you need, My lady. Although, truly you need none. I shall await you."

Astrid leaned the palms of her hands against the counter. Clearly, there was something weird going on her. Her parents would not have planned her to marry both princes. One had to be lying to her, but which one?

Thor stood tall and powerful while he could fight she could tell he was kind with his people. Thinking of him, she could feel her cheeks turn hot and red remembering the gentle kiss he had placed on her. That seemed genuine, but maybe he was a master of trickery. She had finished drying herself and began getting dressed.

Loki was tall as well but more lanky than his brother who had rippling muscles. He was not bad looking just didn't seem to be the type that could be King. He seemed too small, too weak, too nice. She had heard many legends about the brothers and their father and she couldn't help but think that she hoped it was Thor not his brother. It just didn't seem something the All Father would pick out for his Kingdom. Astrid finished dressing herself and took a deep breathe and sighed, preparing herself for what the day had in store for her.

He stood upon the door opening and bowed to her. His green eyes met her blue ones.

"Beautiful as always my love."

She smiled at him and extended her hand and he laid a gentle kiss on her tiny knuckles. She pulled her hand back and sat on the edge of her bed.

"I know not what to do from here. I do not wish to push you from me into my brother's envious hands. Odin knows he would do anything to get his hands on you and take my place as King." Loki stopped bowing and stood in front of her now. He placed his hands on either of her shoulders and knelt down. Astrid kept his eyes and showed no signs of emotion.

"Prince Thor has already made his presence. He wishes to take me to see the city sights. He oddly enough, has told me the same story as you. How I am his betrothed, how he longs for me to remember but merely wishes to be comfort to me." Loki sighed and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"My lady I can not force you to remember the truth. I can only let you discover it for yourself. I wish for your sake, you keep caution when you are with Thor. He is angry, possessive, strong and determined. He had killed maidens before simply coupling with them. I know this is not of my business anymore love, but I pray to the All Father's glory that you shall remember your place in my arms." He bowed to her once more before taking his leave. He grinned exiting her room knowing what confusion he had just placed into her head.

Astrid sighed resting her head in between her knees. There was so much going on that was confusing her. Why would they both tell her she was their betrothed? She could only be married to one and only one could be King. Loki said that Thor was jealous of their love and that Loki was receiving the Kingdom, she could read in between his sentences saying how bad he would hurt her and abuse her love. Thor didn't seem like the easy going kind, he did when he came to see her earlier seem possessive and demanding. Loki seemed like he cared, why else would he have left her with her thoughts and not tried to push anything further despite how much he was infusing Thor with bad ideas.

She went to the bathroom to fix her hair. She gathered the top half in her hands and winded it down her back braiding it to ensure it staying away from her face. She grimaced when she hit a spot on her head that was very tender. Must have been where she had hit her head upon her falling. She closed her eyes trying to remember anything that could help her figure out the issues of her memory loss. She remembered the sound of crumbling leaves under her feet when the doors to her chamber flew open.

"Lady Astrid. Come watch the wonders of our new Kingdom." Thor smiled at her as she left the bathroom. "Come riding on the best stallion with your King." He extended his hand to her and she slowly placed her tiny hand in his. He closed his hand around hers which engulfed it. Thor lead her down the expansive hallways of the palace. Her blue eyes lit up, her head turning to take a glance at everything as she was rushed by it all. She remember Loki's words and decided she would found out the truth and if she didn't? She would not marry. She would choose a husband for herself and marry for love, not the harmony of the Kingdom. Thor lead her down to the stables and turned to face her as he placed his hand on the face of the pure white steed.

"This is the Kingdom's fastest horse. His name is Stallont." He said as he mounted him. Astrid grabbed his hand as he pulled her up to sit on the horse in front of him. He pulled her back to his chest and grabbed the reins. His strong arms were pressed against her sides. He gave the reins a tug as the horse began running its way down a long path.
