Chapter 1077

Loki stood at the door of his bedchamber, opened his arms, and let the guards fix his cloak in a suitable position. He lowered his head, thinking intently. After a while, he raised his head and asked: "Is Helen still with Frigga? Did the Queen say to let me go pick her up later?"

"Her Majesty Frigga hopes you can head to the greenhouse in about twenty minutes to have dinner with Her Highness Helen and His Majesty Odin."

Loki's movements paused, and he asked: "The All-Father is going too? But Thor went to the Centaurus constellation to patrol and won't be back for a few days. Did no one inform His Majesty?"

"Her Majesty Frigga only said to let you go over; we don't know about the others, and have no right to ask." The protocol officer standing next to him lowered his head and said to Loki.

Loki was silent for a while, suddenly flicked his cloak. The guard who was tidying his collar hurriedly stepped back two steps. Loki stood on the spot, his face sank, and he said: "No matter what I ask you, you only have two sentences, 'don't know, have no right to ask'."

"I ask you, who deprived you of those permissions you don't have? Thor Odinson?" Loki looked into the protocol officer's eyes. The somewhat elderly protocol officer avoided his gaze.

"This is the rule, Your Highness." The protocol officer answered.

"Don't call me Your Highness, I am no longer a prince." Loki still looked into his eyes and said: "Your expression is telling me that if you don't call me Your Highness, you don't even know what to call me. Perhaps you are also thinking, I am not a prince, could I be a prince of the blood? Asgard doesn't have such a stupid position."

"The God King has brothers, but Asgard has never had a prince of the blood. Do you know why this is?"

Loki's tone became lower and lower. The protocol officer reached out and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and answered: "I don't know, and have no right to ask."

"You wouldn't dare use this sentence to answer Thor." Loki flicked his cloak and turned around, took the helmet from the guard's hand, and slowly put it on his head, saying: "But at this time, what you said in your heart is also right. What kind of goods am I? Daring to demand treatment comparable to the God King?"

After Loki left with big strides, the protocol officer touched his forehead. This time, sweat soaked his cuffs.

Feeling the weight brought by the two long horns on the helmet, Loki felt a bit unaccustomed, so before walking into the garden, he still took the helmet off.

On the far east side of the Xiangong garden, there was a beautiful greenhouse, inside which were kept rare plants not native to Asgard. On the outermost side of the greenhouse was a sunroom made of a crystal dome, which was Frigga's favorite restaurant.

When Loki walked in holding his helmet, Odin, Frigga, and Helen were already seated. Loki stood by the door waiting. Odin pointed to his left side, and Loki walked over.

"Why don't you wear your helmet?" Odin looked at him and asked.

"Because it's a bit heavy, All-Father." Loki answered while placing the helmet on the seat next to him.

Odin frowned, but seeing the look on Frigga's face next to him, he didn't say anything. Frigga was tidying the napkin for Helen. She looked to be in a very good mood. When she walked back to her seat, she also smiled and said to Loki: "I'm afraid you have to do this yourself. After all, you aren't a child anymore..."

Taking the tableware from Frigga's hand, Loki lowered his head and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Hearing his address, Frigga's smile paused for a moment. She turned her head and glanced at Odin's serious expression, sighed slightly, and then said: "Don't be nervous, Loki, this is just a normal family gathering. Our family rarely has free time to sit here and appreciate the winter scenery..."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Usually at this time, you should all be on the starship, waiting for the start of the next battle." Loki straightened the tableware on the dining table, straightened his back, leaned on the dining chair, looked straight ahead, and said: "Indeed, rarely do I have free time like you to appreciate the snow in winter."

"Loki." Odin said in a low voice: "You are deliberately making your mother unhappy. You know clearly that she hopes this is a harmonious dinner."

"But this was never going to be a harmonious dinner." Loki said as if he had suddenly become annoyed: "Because of whom, we all know."

"Loki!" Odin's voice was like a giant bell being struck, carrying a compelling momentum. Loki closed his eyes and said in a calm tone: "Sorry, All-Father, please forgive my offense."

Helen was sitting opposite Loki. When he raised his eyes slightly, he could see this little girl who looked just like him, looking at him with a curious gaze.

Actually, Loki and Helen weren't too familiar. Although the two of them looked like they were cut from the same mold, in reality, there was no parent-child interaction.

Their relationship was limited to Loki being like a dedicated courier for Helen, traveling back and forth between Stark and Frigga, responsible for picking up and dropping off Helen between Earth and Asgard.

"Loki, let's start eating." Frigga said in a gentle tone: "Although you aren't a child anymore, it seems you still need me to help you fix your napkin. Come on..."

After finishing, she walked behind Loki and helped him tie the napkin with gentle movements. Frigga's gentle hem passed through the cold and hard chair back, brushing Loki's hand, making him feel like a prisoner on a restraint chair seeing a ray of moonlight.

Loki picked up the tableware and skillfully used elegant movements to divide the food. Frigga praised with a smile: "Loki, seeing you is like seeing the young me. Odin also always said before that you are very like me, right?"

Frigga's gaze fell on Odin's face. Odin cleared his throat and said: "You are indeed more like your mother."

"My honor." Loki answered flatly.

Frigga's smile stiffened again, so she brought up another topic and said: "Helen is also very like you. I don't just mean appearance; the naughtiness when she was little is the same too. But it's a pity, there isn't an older brother following behind to clean up..."

Loki's movements paused, and he opened his mouth to say: "Yes, Thor, in addition to fighting heroically, can also care for his relatives, which is why the warriors of Asgard are willing to follow him into battle..."

Frigga's smile had almost completely disappeared. She looked at Loki's face and said: "You clearly know that this isn't an exam. What I want to hear isn't the correct answer..."

Loki lowered his head to divide the food on the plate. He raised his eyes and glanced at Odin's expression, then said: "Sorry, Mom, I just feel a bit unwell. Perhaps the weather is too cold."

"Enough, Loki." Odin put down the tableware and looked at him, saying: "I have never taught you to say these words, and you don't have to perform in front of your mother as if I am coercing you. Stop your tricks!"

Loki also put down the tableware, as if he had finally lost all his patience. He lowered his head to look at the food cut into pieces on the plate, revealed a cold smile, and said:

"I am very sorry, my answer to this exam was untimely, but I don't have a better answer either, because I haven't participated in any family gatherings, so I don't know what I should say, and can only answer based on my usual experience."

"This isn't an exam." Frigga said full of sadness: "I just hope we can sit together and chat, as parents and children, chat about the future of us and this family..."

"Then why is it me sitting here now, instead of Thor?" Loki looked at Frigga and asked: "I can sit here and chat for ten million years, and still have no qualification to decide the future of this family."

Loki sighed and said: "I am not deliberately being sarcastic or wanting to make you angry by saying this. This is just an obvious fact."

"Frigga, your enthusiasm shouldn't be thrown at such a cold person." Odin placed his hands flat on the table and looked at his wife, saying: "Haven't you discovered it yet? He is exactly the same as Laufey, heartless and cruel."

"Odin!!" Frigga screamed for the first time. This God Queen, who had always been well-cultivated, had never made such a sharp sound. She said: "This is our family gathering, why do you have to mention other people's names?!"

"We all know why." Odin also stared at Frigga and said: "You wouldn't think that in your eyes, the little son who has always been intelligent and has excellent comprehension, doesn't know his true background by now, would you?"

Frigga slowly moved her gaze to Loki. Loki just sat on the spot, staring at his plate, and said: "Sorry, Mom, just now I said I was cold, it was just a joke."

Frigga closed her eyes painfully. Her hands gripped the edge of the dining table tightly. Finally, the tense knuckles finally relaxed. She said with an exhausted face: "If the consequence of everything I have done is just wasting your time to accompany me in acting, then I say, enough."

"Sometimes I really wonder if I am crazy to have such a husband and son. You aren't relatives, aren't friends, and aren't even strangers, but enemies!"

"We are born enemies." Loki answered at a very fast speed.

In the next second, the table knife was pressed against Loki's forehead, forcing him to retreat slowly and lean his head against the back of the dining chair.

Odin looked into his eyes and said: "Your biological father had his head cut off by me on such a cold night, because he provoked me just like you."

Loki straightened his back, took a deep breath, tilted his head slightly, looked at Odin, and said: "All-Father, your kindness is known to the Nine Realms, and your prestige is known throughout the universe. If the main course in front of you now is my head, would you be happier?"

"Loki!!!" Odin stood up, stared at Loki with his eyes, and said: "You make your mother sad and provoke me again. I really don't know why you are so naughty!"

Loki tilted his head and glanced at the helmet he had placed on the chair next to him, saying: "Today Thor isn't here, making me not know what to do next. If it were usual, I should have stolen his helmet now and disappeared from everyone's sight."

"Thor couldn't catch up with me, and could only stomp his feet in anger on the spot, and then stay behind, pretending to be magnanimous and saying 'this is just a prank', so you don't need to be angry for me."

Loki stood up, picked up his helmet, and used a movement he would never have used before, even with a bit of rogue habit, threw the helmet directly onto the dining table, messing up the tableware and smashing the plates.

Frigga and Odin both looked at him in shock. Loki also looked back at them and said: "The rehearsal ends here. I promise you that at a real daily family dinner, I will listen attentively to Thor expressing his views on the future and applaud in time... definitely more timely than all of you."

After finishing, he took his helmet back and put it on his head. Before turning to leave, he added in a low voice: "Because I know, the specific content of what Thor says, only I am listening."

Loki turned and left. Odin and Frigga were both stunned on the spot, as if they had never known this little son of theirs.

However, Helen rolled her eyes, jumped off the chair, and chased in the direction Loki left at a fast speed.

Loki walked on the bridge of the Xiangong, his cloak fluttering backward. One team of mighty guards after another walked past him and saluted him, but he just looked straight ahead and walked past the sunset glow of Asgard at a fast speed.

Crossing the bridge, bypassing the drill ground, and coming to the Rainbow Bridge pier, when he teleported away, Loki didn't notice at all that a small figure was following behind him.

Returning to the apartment on Earth, Loki threw the helmet onto the ground casually, pulled off his cloak and threw it aside, leaned on the sofa, his hands started to tremble uncontrollably, unable to hide his terrified expression.

Suddenly, Loki heard a little movement behind him. He turned his head, but saw nothing, so he stood up, wanting to check what made the sound.

But just as he stood up, he felt his chest being hit. Loki staggered back two steps, lowered his head, and saw Helen hugging his chest like an octopus.

"Helen, stop messing around, I'll call Pepper to come pick you up." Loki turned his head away and reached for the phone on the sofa.

Helen opened her mouth wanting to speak, but suddenly, she slowly frowned. The arm grabbing Loki's neck exerted a little force, and Loki was dragged out two meters away.

"What are you doing?! Helen! I don't have time now..."

Loki raised his tone, but at this time, where he was originally standing, with a "swoosh," an orange square portal opened, and a group of monsters wearing armor that looked like black riot gear walked out from inside.

The leader held a piece of paper, looked at the paper, looked at Loki, and then said in a low voice:

"Loki, verified by the TVA Time Variance Authority, you have violated the Universal Time Variance Management Act and are listed as a time criminal, wanted throughout the universe."

"Now, you are under arrest."

Not one is normal.
