Fondness within

Sigyn was sitting in the palace library with Loki teaching her how to read. But she was elsewhere thinking about what villagers told her. Loki took her foot in his lap as they were sitting near the big window. He started caressing her foot from base to toes and then moved towards ankle. "I love your feet"

She looked at her foot and realise he kissed her feet at lot last night but as far as she knew her feet are rough. She asked "why?"

Loki dropped his lower lip forward. "I don't know but I love them" he raised her foot and showed.
"I mean look, the second toe is bigger than the thumb and last two are equal" he kissed her toes.
"I love them"
He traced her ankles and she saw he had tied ankle chains there.

She smiled "they are beautiful"
She asked him after some time. "Loki the elves were looking for a kamiran, why?"

Loki was busy in caressing her leg. "May be they have some unfinished deals with your ancestors"

Sigyn held his hands. "Loki they know one kamiran is alive. It's better to tell Allfather. If they had attacked asgard in my absence, they will surely attack again now when I am here. Tell Allfather"

Loki turned serious. "And what will he do? He will kill you like your tribe. Telling him that elves are finding you will raise questions and then I have to tell him about your heritage. I can't risk it. I just don't trust him. He will kill you"

"It's right to kill one for the sake of thousand innocent lives"

Loki frowned "don't you dare try to say those people are worth your sacrifice. You are much more important than any of them"

"You are thinking about yourself Loki. Think about those people..."

"Those lowly people could go to hell but I am not letting you die for them"

"Then you are as despicable as your father who never thinks about poor lower class people"

"Well firstly, he is not my father and secondly, if it ever comes to you or any other out there, rich or poor, upper or lower class, I will choose only you"

"What if your brother is on the other hand?"
Loki was silent.
"Or your mother?" He still didn't replied.
She leaned towards him. "Like your family is important to you, those people are important for me. They remind me of my tribe. Listen to me, at least we should know why are they finding me and what do they want from a lowly kamiran? We should tell everyone about me"

"What about you, lady Sigyn?" Queen's voice piqued their attention. They stood up and bowed before queen.

Loki tried to cover up. "Nothing mother we were just...."

Frigga stopped Loki. "My child, let me talk to the lady alone. Your father wanted to talk to you, he has some unfinished business with you"

Loki pursed his lips. "That's what he always talk about with me... about business"

Frigga asked Sigyn "I was finding you last night. Your room was ready for you but you were somewhere else I assume"

Loki haven't moved a bit to go to Allfather. "I took care of Sigyn last night, mother. I think she likes my hospitality very much"

Sigyn faced downward blushing red. Loki leaned to her ear and whispered "I see you blushing. I hope now you know why do women blush" he kissed on her cheek and went.

Frigga proposed to take a walk in garden which was accepted by Sigyn. Frigga tried to enquire. "So what do you want to tell us about yourself, Sigyn?"

"Your majesty, elves... attacked asgard because they were finding something or someone I would say"

Queen nodded. "Yes, they were finding a kamiran"

Sigyn's eyes widened. "How do you know?"

"Because elves sent a warning letter to king yesterday, saying that they want a kamiran as they do believe last kamiran is alive"

Sigyn tried to know queen's feelings. "What happened to kamirans? Why do they extinct?"

"Years ago because of Loki's silly mistake, the kamiran tribe was killed on the royal order as we thought they all were criminals" Queen's eyes filled with sadness.

"How do you know that they were not criminals?"

"Because after execution one of our courtiers asked for a proof of kamiran's terrorist activities and Loki couldn't be able to furnish it and he was brutally punished for that".

Sigyn's heart flinched for Loki but she was not blind in his love as not to understand he deserved that. "What could elves possibly want from this kamiran?"

"Well, elves' history could tell you that there was a witch who was half elf half asgardian, she was very powerful witch and from very noble asgardian family but because her elf features everyone treated her very badly. Only one kamiran boy loved her because he knew how it feels like to be alienated, bullied. When elves knew about her powers they wanted her gene to travel through elves only but she married to that kamiran secretly. Elves killed her husband and she died because of heartbreak"

"Oh dear..."

"It is said that before dying she cut her hand off in which she stored all her powers and she said only a kamiran girl for whom this power or any valuable thing is nothing in front of her love. The day this girl will touch her hand, her powers will be transferred until that kamiran will die. After her death, powers will vanish"
Queen turned to Sigyn.
"I think that's why they were finding a kamiran"

Sigyn felt scared and went to her room without a word and told maiden to tell Loki to meet her as soon as possible.
