Loptr didn't want Loki killed, he wanted Loki brought to him. The reason he manipulates Balder is because Balder has the Right Eye; he just needed some reason to keep Balder around so that he could eventually take the Sovereign Power and use it to steal Balder's Eye afterwards. He knew Balder wouldn't actually succeed. (Loptr almost succeeded in getting everyone he needed at the end of Chapter IX, but Loki opens the gates of hell and throws everything off.)
