I awoke at 8am, Loki had already left. I never spent the night with him before, I don't know why things have changed with him. I sat up in bed and turned my legs toward the floor and went to get up out of bed when I noticed a note on my night table.
"I left you an outfit in your closet, please put it on and meet me in the throne room after breakfast"
"Hmm" I thought to myself as I got out of bed and walked over to my closet. I opened it to see a green gown with gold stitching on the sleeves and collar, it was long almost floor length. I took it out of the closet and lay it on the bed. Just as I turned to the dresser to get out some underwear I heard a knock on the door.
"Yes?'
"Breakfast."
"Hold a minute, I need to get dressed."
I threw on a robe and opened the door.
"Thank you Abate." I said as I took a tray from his hands.
It was different from the normal breakfast. The normal was pretty bland oatmeal, some OJ, and some bacon. Today's breakfast was pancakes, OJ, bacon, sausage and some eggs. I was wary of this, I really didn't know what to think of this. First the gown, then the breakfast, what was in store for me today. I ate the breakfast greedily, Loki drained me last night. I took a quick shower and put underwear on. I put on some minimal makeup, Loki never liked me to wear too much. I put the dress on carefully, put on some sandals and walked out the door. I was met by a guard ready to take me to the throne room.
"My king." I said as I bowed.
"My dear Rebecca, please approach."
I walked up towards Loki, he was seated on the throne. After last night I am not sure I can really look at him the same way again, but he is my King, and I will always be his subject. I have realized that my love for my king is more than just a subject, I love him as a person, every single inch of him.
"Rebecca, I am doing a television announcement today, I want you to be at my side."
I was thrown aback by this. He never has done this before.
"My King, I shall be happy to oblige. However may I speak bluntly?"
He nodded.
"My King, why are you acting this way? Just last week you threw me against the wall and now you are asking me to be by your side? I cant help but be a bit taken aback by this."
His eyes opened widely and glistened a bright yellow.
"Rebecca, why do you question my actions?" he said as he rose.
He walked towards me, this staff clanking loudly on the floor.
"Guards, leave us."
All the guards turned and left the room.
"Listen to me closely. You are the only constant in my life, I feel no need to lie to you, no need to manipulate you. You have always been there, you have always been my real right hand I want to start treating you as such."
He pulled me in close and whispered in my ear.
"Rebecca, I love you."
"GUARDS YOU CAN RETURN." He shouted.
All the guards walked back inside in formation.
"The broadcast is about to start, stand right here on my left." He pointed to the side of throne.
I got into position and Loki sat back on the throne. The red light on the camera went on and the broadcast was on its way.
"My loyal subjects, I would like to introduce you to my right hand woman, Rebecca." I curtsied at the camera.
"You will be loyal to her as you are are to me. I would like to make this official in front of the world. Rebecca, bow before me."
I did as such.
"Rebecca, I hereby free you from your bondage and your enslavement." I looked up at Loki with tears in my eyes. He banged his staff into the floor and glow came from my head, floated above me and flew away.
"Thank you all for your time."
and the red light went off. I broke down in tears.
"Loki, I am speechless."
"Listen Rebecca, my love, I have prepared a feast tonight in honor of you. I have many things planned for you, trust me on this. Now, back to your room and pack. I will be moving you."
I walked slowly towards my room, wiping the tears from my face. I was completely shocked, I really didn't know what was going on.
"M'lady." Abate said bowing slightly. "Just yell for me when you have packed your trunk, I shall take it to your new room."
"Where is my new room by the way?"
