As for Josie, unless Odin himself is present, he is unlikely to personally greet her.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Kahn!” Frigga replied very affectionately.

“Please come with me, I’ve prepared some snacks and afternoon tea, we can have a good chat!” Margot just smiled slightly at Frigga’s affection, not surprised at all.

Because upon receiving news of their planned visit, she and Josh had already guessed the purpose of their trip.

This is also one of the reasons why Josie doesn't want to be here.

"It would be my pleasure!" Frigga nodded.

After arriving at the garden reception room and taking their seats, Frigga spoke first.

“I’m here mainly to talk about our two children. I only recently learned that Loki and your daughter have developed feelings for each other. I just don’t know what you think about the two children?” Frigga asked bluntly.

“I don’t have any opinion on it. I’ve always been very open-minded about Carol’s love life, as long as she’s happy. However, her father has a lot of opinions about it!” Margot said, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh? Why? As far as I know, Loki and Mr. Kahn don't seem to have any connection, do they?" Frigga asked, puzzled.

“Hey, who can argue with that! But isn’t it because Loki’s image in Earth’s legends isn’t very good? Plus, Josie only has one daughter, Carol, so naturally he has some feelings about it,” Margot sighed.

“I see… But that’s just a legend. I raised Loki myself, and I know him better than anyone. Although he is a bit impulsive, he is kind at heart. And in over a thousand years, I have never seen him care so much about a girl!” Frigga argued for her son.

Kind-hearted by nature? Margot looked at Frigga with a strange expression after hearing her words.

Is it really okay to lie like this with your eyes wide open?

"...Is there a problem?" Even the usually composed Frigga couldn't help but feel a little guilty under Margot's gaze.

It seems the word "kindness" really doesn't fit Loki's description...

“I understand that it’s just a legend, but Loki still has to do something to prove himself, otherwise Josie probably won’t agree to it so easily!” Margot said, shaking her head slightly.

"Proof? How do you prove it?" Frigga asked, puzzled.

“It’s simple, is Loki willing to give up everything he has for Carol?” Margot explained.

"Give up everything you have now?" Frigga frowned upon hearing this.

“Yes, the identity, status, and right to the throne of the Asgardian prince!” Margot said, taking a sip of tea.

"...You mean Loki should marry into the family? Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Frigga exclaimed, her expression changing drastically.

“Nothing is impossible! Carol is the Queen of Austria, and Austria is one of the core strengths of the Kahn family. If Loki wants to be with her, he will naturally have to make some sacrifices! There are countless similar examples in history. If Loki cannot accept this, then I think it would be better for the two of them to separate as soon as possible!” Margot said.

"Is this Mr. Kahn's idea, or yours?" Frigga's expression was uncertain.

“It’s Josie’s idea, and it’s also Carol’s decision!” Margot said with a sigh.

"What do you mean? Carol agreed too?" Upon hearing Margot's words, Frigga felt a sense of foreboding.

Just as she said before, she actually knew Loki very well and knew that he valued his right to the throne, but he rarely showed it under the shadow of Thor's brilliance.

And now the Cahn family wants Loki to give up everything for Carol... That's probably...

“Not only that, if the two get married, Loki cannot marry Carol as an Asgardian. We will prepare an ordinary Earthling identity for him!” Margot continued.

These words struck Frigga's heart like a heavy hammer.

If the first condition was something Frigga was worried Loki wouldn't agree to, she wouldn't actually feel too bad about it. After all, while it was unfair for Loki to give up his right to the throne, it might not be a bad thing for Frigga's other child, Thor.

However, Frigga couldn't accept the idea that Loki would have to give up his Asgardian identity and be with Carol as an ordinary person.

What? Did being an Asgardian cost you anything? Did I embarrass you?

When have the Asgardians ever suffered such injustice?

“Your Majesty, I know this condition is a bit excessive, but I hope you understand that the Earth is in a different era now. It doesn’t need a suddenly appearing divine kingdom to stand on its head. If Loki were to appear as an Asgardian, it would be a disaster for the current state of the Earth…” Margot explained, seeing the displeasure on Frigga’s face.

“I understand. I’ll discuss this with Loki and his father when I get back… I won’t bother you any longer!” Frigga sighed and nodded, bidding farewell to Margot.

In her view, if Carol and Josie had indeed agreed to the two conditions, as Margot had said, then the marriage was essentially off.

Because Loki is unlikely to give up his right to the throne, and the proud Odin is unlikely to allow his son to marry into a mortal royal family.

Even though Loki was just an adopted son, and even though Odin valued this mortal royal family that was essentially a family of gods.

“Child, don’t blame me for being heartless. It’s just that your status is different now. Every action you take is for the sake of all of Austria!” On the balcony of the Queen’s bedroom at Schönbrunn Palace, Josie sighed and patted her daughter’s shoulder to comfort her as she watched the light of the rainbow bridge that guided Frigga disappear.

Actually, his initial strong opposition to Loki and Carol's relationship stemmed from his stereotype of Loki and the anger of an old father who felt his little cabbage being eaten without his knowledge.

But after a few days of calm reflection, he ultimately understood his daughter's feelings—as long as she was happy.

But as he said, Carol is no longer just an ordinary girl, but the leader of a country.

From the moment she took this position, many things were no longer up to her to decide.

Just like in marriage, although it's not like the royal families and nobles of the past who had to arrange marriages, it's not like Carol can do whatever she wants.

In order to secure her position in the royal family, her future husband would have to abandon his original lifestyle and accommodate her as the queen.

Just like Prince Philip of the neighboring United Kingdom.

But given Loki's personality, would he really give up everything for Carol?

That's highly unlikely!

“No, Father, I understand! If Loki is unwilling, then let’s just consider the past as a dream!” Carol said with a slight smile.

“Actually, if you really can’t let go, you can give up the throne. Our family doesn’t really need the royal status!” Although she initially showed strong opposition, Josie softened a bit when she saw her daughter’s sad face.

“No, I am the queen of this country, and I always will be. That will never change!” Carol’s expression hardened. Although young, she possessed the demeanor of an unparalleled queen.

He's alive... Without eunuchs, things will get better.

Chapter 328 Loki's Choice

"What a joke! Those Midgardians are humiliating Asgard! We absolutely cannot agree to this condition! Loki, I'll go with you to get that girl back!" Thor's roar echoed through the Asgardian palace.

Hearing her foolish son's words, Frigga, sitting beside the throne, couldn't help but want to cover her face.

How brainless must this guy be to say such nonsense?

Loki, standing opposite Thor, rolled his eyes at Thor's words. Thor was just playing around with you for fun back then, and you really don't know your own limitations, do you?

Besides, if you're looking for death, go ahead and do it yourself, but don't drag me into it!

"Shut up, Thor! Do you know what you're saying?" Odin angrily slammed the ground with the Spear of Eternity and scolded him.

"Of course I know what I'm talking about. The former Midgard regarded us as gods, feared us, and worshipped us. And we repaid them by helping them drive away the Frost Giants' invasion and warning the Kree not to cause trouble in the star system where Midgard is located! They should submit to us! Instead of denying our existence!" Thor said passionately!

Loki, who was standing nearby, thought it seemed to be true.

If it were the old him, he would definitely agree with what Thor is saying now.

But now... well, with Josie Kahn and his formidable subordinates around, it's best to just keep those thoughts to yourself.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Odin asked Thor, staring at him expressionlessly.

“Just like you attacked Jotunheim, attack Midgard, teach them a lesson, crush their will, and let them know that the majesty of Asgard is inviolable!” Thor said firmly.

"...That's just the mindset of a warrior!" Odin shook his head in disappointment. How could this child, with such a temperament, possibly inherit his throne?

"Then what would be considered the king's idea? To allow the people of Midgard to humiliate Loki and Asgard like this?" Thor roared.

"I don't see this as an insult!" Loki interjected, rubbing his nose... An insult? You've truly never seen what an insult is!

“This is just a matter between two families and does not involve the national level!” Frigga said at the right time.

"What? Even after all this, you're still protecting that mortal royal family of Midgard? I admit that Josie Kahn is powerful, but that's not a reason for us to back down!" Thor looked at the family in front of him, expressing his incomprehension.

"Enough! This is Loki's private matter, and it's not your place to make a decision, Loki! Tell me your thoughts!" Odin interrupted his eldest son's delusions and looked at Loki to ask.

“…I agree…” Loki said after a two-second pause in response to Odin’s question.

"Haha, I knew it! My brother would definitely agree with my idea!" As soon as Loki said that, Thor shouted happily from the side.

"...I agree to give up everything in Asgard and be with Carol as a mortal!" However, Loki completely ignored this fool and stated his decision.

His words left Thor, who had been so happy just moments before, completely stunned.

"Loki, are you crazy? You actually want to give up everything in Asgard to become a mortal? Just because of a teenage girl?" Thor stared at his brother in disbelief. Was this a fake Loki?

"Loki, are you really sure about this?" Odin asked, frowning slightly upon hearing Loki's decision.

Although Thor speaks without thinking, he is right about one thing: for a prince of Asgard to give up all his status for a mortal woman is not exactly honorable for the Asgardian royal family, even if that mortal woman is a descendant of gods and a queen.

Given his status as the king of Asgard, Odin actually did not want Loki to agree.

However, on the other hand, Loki's choice solved a long-standing problem for Odin.

“I’ve thought it through. Thor is more powerful than me, and his achievements and honors far surpass mine. He is the one most suitable for the throne of Asgard, isn’t he? In the end, I’m just a younger brother, the second in line to the throne. So my so-called right to the throne will always be just a mirage as long as Thor is around, won’t it?” Loki looked deeply at Odin and said slowly.

"What? Loki, what nonsense are you talking about!" Loki's words stunned Thor. "You are my brother, we are both princes of Asgard, we have equal opportunities, and we should rule Asgard together!"

Thor's naive words made Loki's lips curl into a sneer.

Odin and Frigga exchanged a furrowed brow upon hearing Loki's words... Was there a hidden meaning in his words? Did he already know something?

“Loki, you and Thor are both my sons, always have been. There is no such thing as first or second!” Odin said in a deep voice.

"Is that so? Then why did Thor get Mjolnir instead of me? Don't tell me that only those who are approved can lift that hammer; that's just a spell you cast on it!" Loki retorted.

Odin was speechless.

Even Thor was speechless.
