Chapter 19
Balder arrogantly greets Loki. "Hello, Brother have you come to see me wed Lady Astrid? She's agreed to be my wife." He smiles in self-satisfaction.
"Tell me, Brother. Why did not try returning to Asgard? Frigga was heartbroken." Loki ask not bothering to tell Balder about the one law that would make a wedding to Astrid illegal.
"Oh, yes! She was so heartbroken. Enough to forge all about me just like the rest of you. But look at me now, Brother!" The brunette makes a grand gesture. "I have my own kingdom and people who love me. Soon I will have a wife and children."
To prove his point, the prince teleports them into the Great Hall. Everyone including Loki, Alayna and Astrid are dressed for the wedding. Balder then conjures a doppelganger dressed as a cleric while he dawns white armor. He then takes Astrid's arm. "Shall we, Beloved?"
