Early in the morning, I received a reply from Shia:

What exactly are you doing? You just left without saying a word to me? I don’t care what happened between you and Loki, but is it really worth giving up your career, your life—even your friends—for him? If you don’t give me a reasonable explanation, then our twenty years of friendship is over!

  • Auden’s Blessing   Chapter 31

    Frigga has too much to bear, and too many choices she must make. I don’t want that kind of life. So in the days that followed, I tried hard to forget the past and return to being the simple Inna I used to be. But every time I spoke to Loki, I couldn’t help but shrink back.His hair was still as vivid as roses in May, his smile as dazzling as the moonlight of late autumn—still enough to make anyone fall hopelessly in love. Yet mixed in with that was something far stronger: deep down, I felt afraid of him.Loki, however, seemed to be in a particularly good mood these past few days and did not notice anything unusual about me.Until one day, while we were dining together at his house, I asked him a question:“Loki, if I were to fall in love with someone else, what would you do?”He froze for a moment and set down his knife and fork. “…What are you trying to say?”“Don’t take it seriously.” I waved my hand. “Xiya brought it up when we were chatting, and I just wanted to hear your answer.”

    After the award ceremony ended, Loki dragged me back home. He dropped me off, told me to have something to eat and rest a bit, and then left without going upstairs, saying he had something to attend to and would be back later.When I got to my door, I tried to unlock it with my key, but no matter how hard I turned, it wouldn’t budge. I suspected Sia had changed the lock. There shouldn’t be anyone inside anyway, so I decided to wait for Loki outside. But just as I was halfway turning the key, the door suddenly swung open. I was yanked inside so violently that I nearly fell flat.Before I could even steady myself, countless vials of liquid, mixed with magical bubble spheres, exploded in a burst of color. Water sprayed in all directions, confetti flew through the air, and petals scattered across the floor… A crowd surged around me, lifted me up, and tossed me into the air.“Woman, you’re finally back!”“Ena, Sia’s been missing you so much my head was about to explode…”“The boss is back!

    “Then come to Asgard. You can directly become a battlefield master smith. Your workplace, residence, and position are all yours to choose—including the Twelve Temples. A fixed annual salary of 80 million Bina, complete freedom in forging, and unconditional approval to open your own workshop, even a chain of them. You’ll be provided with two Black-Feathered Phoenixes, two Bone Phoenixes, and one Infernal Bone Dragon. You may also name any additional conditions you want.”If it weren’t Odin saying this, I would have thought he was joking. These conditions alone would be enough to recruit several gods. I honestly couldn’t think of anything more to ask for. Even in Vanaheim, my lifelong ambitions had never been this extravagant.Given how terrible my current situation is, it’s hard not to be tempted.But even harder is forgetting the past.“I don’t believe that a place as vast as Asgard doesn’t have a single outstanding master smith. Besides, I’m not so exceptional that I could stand agai

    Early in the morning, I received a reply from Shia:What exactly are you doing? You just left without saying a word to me? I don’t care what happened between you and Loki, but is it really worth giving up your career, your life—even your friends—for him? If you don’t give me a reasonable explanation, then our twenty years of friendship is over!The handwriting was wildly cursive and badly distorted; the tip of the pen had even torn the paper at the end of the last character. There was no signature.I put the letter away and stood in front of the mirror to comb my hair, only to notice that black roots had started to grow out again. Looks like I’d have to touch up the roots this afternoon. After putting on makeup and slinging my bag over my shoulder, I headed to Mimir’s alchemy workshop.But perhaps it was just my imagination—there seemed to be far fewer people on the street outside the workshop that day. Normally, scholars and craftsmen would be coming and going, but today even the cus

    “Are you kidding?” I glanced at Frigga, then at Loki. “That’s impossible.”“Then remain bound for the rest of your life. Unless you don’t mind having certain… images filling your mind day and night from now on.”“Don’t push me too far.”“I’m not forcing you. Take off your clothes and lie down on the bed. Do that, and I’ll immediately go with you to remove the binding.”At that moment, Frigga got off the bed, rushed to Loki, and clung to his arm. “Loki, don’t force her like this. If you want… I’m ready.”Loki shook her off and narrowed his eyes at me. “Have you made up your mind?”I clenched my fists, barely restraining myself from striking him. Then I turned and yanked the door open, rushing out. I ran down a corridor and turned straight for the stairs, but halfway down, a burst of flame shot up from the ground, blocking my path.Moving too fast, I nearly tumbled down the stairs. I grabbed the railing, steadied myself, then ran back up and tried another staircase. But flames erupted t

  • Auden’s Blessing   Chapter 26

    At the end of winter and the beginning of spring, the weather started to warm up. Loki had slept in a daze for more than twenty hours. Even after waking up, he still refused to eat anything. I bustled around the kitchen for more than two hours, and finally managed to make a bowl of soup that I was barely satisfied with. Carrying it to the bedside, I said, “Have some soup.”He acted as if he hadn’t heard me at all, lying with his back to me. I called his name a few more times, but there was still no response. I walked around to the front of him and crouched down. “No matter how little appetite you have, you should still eat something. If you don’t have the strength, I can feed you.”His eyes stared blankly ahead. His lips were pale and cracked, and his red hair seemed to have lost its vitality, lying limply and messily on the pillow. Without the usual spirited arrogance, Loki now looked like nothing more than an ordinary boy seriously ill.After waiting for a long time and seeing him r

After all, Shia had been in more romantic relationships than most people her age. Yet despi

    Of course nothing happened that night. Perhaps afraid that I might overthink it, Loki even suggested going back home to sleep. I kept telling him it was fine and asked him to stay and sleep with me. When we went to bed, I wore a lot of clothes and didn’t dare get too close to him. I barely slept th

    “Your Majesty, are you talking about someone you used to love?”“My wife,” Xiu En replied with a faint smile. “But she passed away many years ago.”He looked at me gently, the snowlight glimmering in his eyes. “Child, you must believe in the person you love.”With that, he stood up, preparing to re

    Since then, I still went to Loki’s house to see him every day. Apart from seeming a little wounded in spirit after his confession that day, he soon returned to his usual self. Whenever I asked about his injuries, he always gave the same answer:“This little wound? Just wash it with some water and i
