At least it feels that way. I might have given up on my title. Told my father he was useless, king of Gods or no, and left Asgard. Made a life somewhere else.</p><p>Maybe I would never have let Loki cross my path. Never have fallen in love.</p><p>But there's no going back.</p><p>We were happy once.</p><p>And the price for that happiness was the end of everything.</p>
