PROLOGUE
Alone in the dark and dank dungeon of the Southern Isles's castle, Hans was counting the seconds, leaning against the cold wall of his prison. He couldn't figure out what kind of punishment his brothers would decide of after he tried to take over the throne of Arendelle and to murder Queen Elsa.
His ordeal began as soon as he had returned to his Kingdom, encaged aboard a foreign vessel, and ruthlessly handed over to the royal guards of the Southern Isles. They directly conducted him in the dungeon and locked him in the smallest and darkest cell. Daylight was nonexistent. The only gleam came from a lantern the warder lit twice a day when lunch and dinner were brought to the prisoners.
The First Counselor of the Kingdom, his sixth oldest brother Friederik, came to visit him once. He has been the only one out of his twelve brothers to pay him a visit. The only one. He walked down the stairs and stopped in front of his cell. Hans thought he would at least open the door, but he just addressed him behind the metallic bars of the cell. Hans looked away from the man standing before him to fix the wall. "I notice the King didn't even bother to walk down here…" he said, a smirk on his lips. "Our beloved brother, His Royal Highness the King, has much more important affairs to deal with. I've come here to inform you that your trial shall be held in three days from now. The jury shall be composed of the high dignitaries of the Kingdom; and chaired by our brother the Chief Justice of the Court. You will not attend; order of His Majesty the King. The judgment shall be delivered in ten days from now at exactly eleven o'clock on the Great Square, in your presence and in front of the high dignitaries and the people of the Kingdom," Friederik replied.
Such formality! thought Hans. His own brother was talking to him like he would talk to a stranger, with such aloofness and disdain. But, what bothered him the most was how the judgment was going to be delivered: in front of people. So his brothers were planning on humiliating him again. His heart tightened at the thought and that night, he couldn't fall asleep until the lantern totally ran out of oil.
Author's note: Hi guys. So this my first fanfiction ever. I totally fell in love with Disney's Frozen, so I wanted to write something about it. Also, I was so rooting for Elsa and Hans to be together because of the trailer I've seen before going to see the movie. I think they could have been a great couple. So that's what caused me to write this fanfiction I guess.
Sorry, it's a little too short, but that's the prologue. Next chapters will be longer I promise.
Reviews are highly appreciated. I'd really like to know what you think about my story (this is my first fanfiction, so please be lenient) ^^
