Chapter one: That Butler, Suggestion
ARENDELLE, 25TH DECEMBER
It was just after midnight mass when Queen Elsa walked back to her room, her little sister alongside her. They stopped as they approached Anna's room and Anna waved goodbye.
"Bye, sis. Sleep tight," Anna said before giving her sister a peck on her cheek. "I love you," she added as her warm turquoise eyes met with Elsa's cool icy ones.
"I love you, too." Elsa replied and they held each other in a long embrace before she finally let her go. Anna giggled at how sentimental Elsa was acting, before promising her that she had the best present ever prepared for her.
"I hope you will love 'em, love." Anna said and gave her a flirty wink before retreating into her room and closing the door behind her.
Dumbfounded, Elsa remained rooted to the floor before a thought hit her hard.
A Present.
A Christmas present.
It had suddenly dawned on her that she had completely forgotten to get little her sister a present. Elsa slowly hung her head in shame.
'She got you a present and what did you get her? Nothing!'
As Elsa chided herself, the temperature around her began to drop. She took a deep breath then exhaled slowly as she walked to her room, unaware that she has left a trail of ice behind her.
Elsa entered her room and immediately marched her way to balcony, to look for any sign that a shop might've possibly still been open at this hour, but there were none. She sighed miserably. The platinum blond then walked to the ball room, subjecting herself to the painted portraits of her late parents.
"I'm such a fool!" Elsa shouted out, not caring who heard, hating how shitty she felt and wanting to let it go. "I'm not fit to be her lover... or sister." She clenched her fists tightly, flexing them open and shut , and causing icicles to form on the walls. Elsa looked at the mess she had made, sighing once again.
"Your Majesty," a cold voice intruded, and Elsa turned to its owner, her stance guarded and ready to strike.
"Oh, it's you, Sebastian." Elsa muttered, regarding the black-haired butler with relief. Elsa took a deep breath before allowing herself to relax around her servant.
Sebastian Michaelis.
A butler mostly dressed in black.
He'd become her servant during an exhausting trip to Great Britain a few month ago. She was still not accustomed to his ways.
"It's past midnight. Are you having trouble sleeping, my Master?" Sebastian asked as he held up a lit candle, wondering if he should make a chamomile tea for the troubled queen.
"Should I prepare chamomile tea? Or honeyed hot milk, perhaps?" Sebastian offered, knowing full well the comforting effects a warm drink had on his mistress.
Elsa sighed and defrosted the icy walls.
"No thanks, Sebastian." Elsa declined the offer immediately, and continued to pace. "There's just something that ... has been on my mind lately." The queen admitted. With silence as his only reply, she continued. "I can fix this one on my own, Sebastian."
"As you wish, Your Majesty." Sebastian bowed, but made no motion to leave.
Elsa noted that her butler remained in her presence and it annoyed her. "You may leave, Sebastian," she hissed, her level of annoyance increasing.
"If her Majesty talked about it out loud, I'm sure she would feel better." The demonic butler discreetly advised in hopes that Elsa would stop chewing herself over this... matter. And still, he had not moved from his spot.
"Fine." Elsa sighed, her eyebrow furrowed. "I don't know what Christmas present to get for Anna."
"A Christmas present for the Princess?" Sebastian raised a perplexed eyebrow and wondered why his master was so worried about the present for next year's Christmas.
'Master sure is a thoughtful person.' Sebastian contemplated nodding to himself. It was a trait that he considered most endearing of Elsa.
"Surely Master, you must know what Her Highness prefers?" Sebastian wondered out loud, a thoughtful look on his handsome face. "And besides, it's still a year away until next Christmas."
Elsa looked at her butler incredulously, before she realized that Sebastian didn't know that she meant this Christmas.
"It's for THIS Christmas, Sebastian." Elsa retorted, before crossing her arms, a troubled look gracing her normally composed face. "Anna likes handmade presents. I've been thinking about getting her a snow globe, but..."
She sighed.
"It's doesn't do her justice," Elsa relented, and started pacing around the room again, the temperature dropping even lower.
A large grin spread on Sebastian's usually stony expression, before he erased any trace of it.
"Your Majesty, if I may?" Sebastian said slowly, a thought forming in his head.
Elsa turned around, wondering if Sebastian had an idea what her sister could possibly want.
"Sebastian." The young queen stated sternly, she was so desperate, the dawn would soon come and she still has no idea what to gift her sister.
"Do you know what Anna wants?" Elsa asked, her cool icy blue eyes meeting Sebastian's dark ones.
A smile slowly spread on Sebastian's handsome face.
"But of course, Your Majesty." Sebastian exclaimed confidently, referring to Elsa by title as he always did, even though Elsa had asked him numerous times to drop it and call her by her name. In the end, Elsa could only accept the fact that he would never drop it. "It is only natural that a butler of Arendelle's Royal Family would be able to know what Princess Anna wants." Sebastian added, a proud smile on his face.
"That's true. Thank you for your suggestion, Sebastian." Elsa replied, secretly happy that she didn't have to worry about the present problem anymore. All this worrying was driving her mad.
"I'm unworthy of such praise, Your Majesty. After all, I am merely 'one hell of a butler'." Sebastian said, and Elsa smiled at his catchphrase.
"There's only one thing Her Highness wants." Sebastian stated, raising one finger. "With one handmade item attached to it." He finished, a sly smile forming on his face.
Elsa was interested. She knew better than to trust her demonic servant, but she didn't have much choice now... did she?
So she agreed to Sebastian's idea.
"All right let's have it, what's this plan of yours is about?" Elsa asked, intrigued by Sebastian's confidence. He seemed so certain of his gift idea.
"Of course. But first, I'd like her majesty to create a layer of cloth so that I may create a charming ribbon with which to wrap the gift." Sebastian continued, trying hard to suppress a glee.
"I see.." Elsa replied, before concentrating on conjuring an icy blue sparkly cloth. "Will this be enough?" Blue eyes filled with worry, wondering if she has done it right.
"It's more than 'enough'. It's something amazing, as expected from Your Majesty, a finely crafted layer of cloth, with sparkly snowflakes." Sebastian replied assuredly, looking at the fine icy cloth. "We will start wrapping the present after you've had some rest." The demon replied, folding the cloth before walking away.
"Wait, what!?" Elsa looked surprised at this. "Shouldn't you at least tell me what the present is?" She wondered, and Sebastian stopped dead in his tracks. He slowly turned around.
"I will wrap Princess Anna's present with you, I assure you that. But I would have to wake you up early, is that all right with you, my Queen?" Sebastian asked politely, and Elsa considered his offer before she nodded slowly.
"All right. Sooner or later I will know about the present after all." Elsa mumbled, before turning away.
"Good night, Sebastian." Elsa nodded, before she left to get some good night's sleep.
"Good night, My Master." Sebastian replied, bowing.
As soon as his master left, Sebastian allowed a full blown grin to grace his face.
"Oh, this would be the perfect present, indeed."
"Your Majesty, it's time to wa~ke up." Sebastian said in a sing song tune, opening the curtains in Elsa's room. Elsa's eyebrow furrowed, Sebastian never did that.
She winced as Sebastian continued to hum happily.
"Mmmh?" Elsa murmured, before opening one eye to look outside the window.
It's still dark, she thought.
"Sebastian, it isn't even dawn yet, and I barely slept." Elsa complained, lying on her stomach and clutching to the covers even tighter. She didn't want to wake up early, and wished for more sleep.
The black haired butler ignored her, and instead poured warm tea into a china teacup.
"Today's tea will be Tibetan Butter Tea which contains rock salt and yak butter if you didn't wake up now, Your Majesty." Sebastian said in a non-threatening tone, as he placed the teacup on the saucer. "I will put a lot of rock salt especially for you, Master." He finished, smiling as he saw Elsa wince at the suggestion. "And yak milk tastes like blanched mud." He added, and Elsa sighed.
"Please don't, Sebastian." Elsa mumbled, willing herself to wake up. "Although, I have no idea where Tibet is." Elsa finished, resting her back on the bedpost.
"I have prepared English breakfast tea to help you stay awake, Your Majesty. We still have to wrap the princess' present after all..." Sebastian paused, and smiled in amusement as Elsa immediately woke up, eyes wide as she looked at her butler.
"The present! Can we just wrap it right now?" Elsa asked excitedly, turning to the smiling butler. She was growing impatient with all this secrecy.
"We can't." Sebastian replied, making Elsa frown.
"This is an order." Elsa ordered, crossing her arms in protest.
"We can't wrap the present until you have freshened up, Master." Sebastian reasoned, and Elsa nodded, taking the warm cup of tea.
She breathed in the hot steam, relishing the aroma, before slowly blowing on it.
The tea froze instantly.
"Ah." Disappointed, Elsa unfroze the tea and resigned herself to drink it cold.
"And I have clothes especially prepared to be worn by you today, Your Majesty." Sebastian went on, laying out a white furred red blouse, transparent purple cloak, and an extravagant skirt with the Arendelle emblem on its buttons.
"Sebastian, those buttons are silly." She commented in distaste. "I think you're going too far."
"Ahahaha, my apologies then, Your Majesty. I had the crest impressed buttons designed and tailored for your outfit just to get this very same reaction from you." Sebastian confessed, before laughing heartily. "I shall fix the buttons right away." Sebastian offered, holding a box of sewing equipment.
Elsa waved her hand slightly, dismissing him.
"No, it's fine. I want to see how Anna will react." Elsa replied, a smile gracing her face as she stared at the silly buttons fondly.
"Yes Your Majesty." Sebastian said, with a firm nod. "Well, I'll leave you to your own devices, Your Majesty. Please inform me when you're prepared." And off he went, closing the door behind him.
Elsa finished her tea before walking to the bathroom. It appeared that Sebastian has prepared a warm bath for her, complete with... bubbles?
"What's this?" She wondered out loud. But according the note Sebastian had left behind, the bubbles were a new lavender scented soap manufactured from goat's milk, which he believed would be to the queen's liking. On the back of that note a small warning, cautioned again eating the foaming bubbles simply because... it was highly recommended not to.
Satisfied with Sebastian's explanation, Elsa began to undress and slowly entered the tub, careful not to freeze the water.
Sebastian entered the princess' room and opened the curtains.
"Princess Anna, the sun is awake and so should you be too~!" He hummed, trotting and walking backwards to the table where he placed a set of china. Sebastian was in the middle of a moonwalk, when Anna awoke, bed hair in all its frazzled glory.
"What are you doing, Sebastian?" Anna turned to look at Sebastian, who was still walking backwards... or was it forwards?
"Why, I'm merely doing a moonwalk dance, giving the illusion of me being pulled backwards while attempting to walk forward." Sebastian explained, and Anna raised one eyebrow, before claiming that she never had seen such dance before.
Sebastian poured Earl Grey tea for the princess, with a sprinkle of lemon. He put one vanilla cookie on its saucer, before offering it to her.
"It's awesome. Do that again later." Anna said, slowly taking a sip of her tea and nibbling on the cookie.
"As you wished, Your Highness," Sebastian replied, proud that the princess has such refined taste.
He then turned his attention to the dress on a mannequin near the window.
"Are you planning to wear that dress, M'lady?" Sebastian asked, slowly walked to doll before examining the dress.
"Yep, this is the dress I asked you to make a week ago, one that is cool in summer and yet warm in winter." Anna said, before finishing her tea. "What's it called again, suede silk?"
Sebastian nodded.
"Yes, Your Highness. I have prepared a warm bath for you, complete with bubbles. Do not eat the bubbles since they're highly toxic if swallowed." Sebastian warned, bowing to the princess.
"Bubble bath?" Anna looked confused before turning to the butler, who smiled slyly before he left.
