Neala woke up with a wave of energy going through her body that felt of pure pleasure. She moaned and grabbed Loki's hand that was on her stomach.
"Loki…" Loki smirked as he stopped sending his magic into her. Neala's mind cleared and she playfully punched Loki. "Don't wake me up like that again unless you intend to keep going!"
"I do intend to keep going, just not right now." Neala raised her eyebrows and got out of bed.
"I need to bathe before they fit me and make me pretty."
"You're already beautiful, my lady." Loki said he got up and starting drawing a bath for her.
"What should I wear to the fitting since I'm only going to be taking it off?"
"Your night gown will do." Neala slipped out of her nightgown and settled into the warm bath water all while Loki was watching. His face flushed a bit and he got up and shut the door. When Neala walked out she saw that Loki had laid out a simple gown that had no laces in the back. She pulled the dress over her head, looked into the mirror and shrugged. Loki came up behind her and cast a spell to dry her hair. He turned her around and kissed her passionately.
"I need to bathe as well but you need to head to the dress fitting. The next time I see you will be the ceremony." Neala beamed and kissed Loki again.
"You sure you want to marry me? I could always leave, if you wanted me to."
"Don't even joke about such cruelties, my lady." Neala smiled as he kissed her again. Neala touched her nose to his and walked out of their chambers. She found the dressing room and the women who she had seen yesterday looked as if they got no sleep last night.
"It has been a long night, my lady, but we think they your wedding dress will be of your liking." The woman who spoke led her into a separate room where her dress was hanging up. She took one look at it and gasped at its beauty. She hugged the woman and thanked her over and over again. "You'll have to undress now so we can properly dress you." The woman said excitedly. Neala quickly undressed and readied herself to be put in the most magnificent dress she's ever seen. The gown started at the top with a deep ocean blue to match her eyes and faded out into a white at the bottom of the long dress. The sleeves and V neck line were rimmed with gold. The sleeves were form fitting all the way to her wrists with a slightly transparent material than the rest of the dress. Instead of the laces being in the back, the laces were now in the front so it looked like a backwards corset that went from where the curve of her breasts met her body to the top of her hips but with no extra lace hanging down. There were two wide but thin ribbon like fabric add-ons that started at the middle of the corset and were tied in a bow on the back. The bottom of the dress billowed out and had a slight tail on the end. It took a little bit just to get the dress on, but when Neala looked into the mirror she saw that it was well worth it. The women then adorned her hair with a gold clip that made the braid, which they had fashioned from the front of her hair around to the side of her head, stay that way. Frigga then popped into the room and practically squealed with delight when she laid her eyes upon Neala.
"You look perfect, absolutely perfect!"
"Thank you, my queen."
"I will be calling you that later today, lady Neala. Oh, there's something I want to bestow unto you." Neala smiled with surprise as Frigga gave her a wooden box. Neala opened it and it revealed a beautiful gold necklace with a heart shaped blue diamond.
"It's beautiful! Thank you very much!" Frigga took the necklace from her and went behind her to put it on. Once it was on both Neala and Frigga sighed at its beauty that was only magnified by Neala and her dress.
"It is a family heirloom from Odin's side of the family that is handed down to the queens of Asgard."
"I will be sure to honor this tradition."
"Good, because I want grandchildren. Lots of grandchildren." Neala and Frigga laughed together. Neala slipped on simple gold colored sandles and Frigga led her to where the ceremony was to begin shortly. This was the same place Thor's coronation was held and also the same place Loki confronted the citizens of Asgard about the deal he had made with Laufey. Neala's heart flutter and her stomach turned in nervousness as they waited to enter. Trumpets sounded, Frigga looked at Neala and started walking out. Neala walked behind Frigga and Neala saw Odin and Thor entering from the opposite side that they were entering from. Odin took his place on the throne, Frigga to the right of Odin and Neala to the left. Thor took his place at the bottom of the second set of steps leading up to the throne. Trumpets sounded again and Loki walked out opposite of the throne and Neala watched him eagerly as he made his way to the bottom of the first set of steps and kneeled. Loki was in his decorative armor complete with his golden horned helmet.
"Loki Odinson, my heir, my second born. So long entrusted with magic, taught first by Frigga. Your power has no equal! Magic can be used to destroy or as a tool to build. It is a fit for a king. I have defended Asgard, and the lives of the innocent across my realms in the time of the great beginning. Do you swear to guard the nine realms?"
"I swear."
"And do you swear to preserve the peace as you already have?"
"I swear."
"Do you swear to cast aside your selfish ambition and to pledge yourself only to the good of the realms?"
"I swear."
"And on this day, I Odin, All-Father, will proclaim you king." Neala was so relieved that his coronation was not interrupted as they had interrupted Thor's. Odin then stood, walked down to Loki and placed the crown on top his head and also handed Loki his staff. Loki stood and shook Odin's hand. Odin then climbed the first flight of stairs and turned to the crowd once again.
"In a usual coronation, this is where it would end. However, this is another part to this celebration. My dear Loki will now be married to Lady Neala." Neala walked to Loki and a Valkyrie stood slightly above them chanting from tradition. When the time came for them to kiss, Loki grabbed Neala's hands and pulled her in. As soon as their lips met a golden light burst through the hall and everyone cheered.
