The Royal Couple

Chapter one- The royal couple

Some people were born more fortunate than others, such was a case with her. What little girl did not dream growing up as a princess?

But as a child she was always convinced as the opposite.

Some palace was not like at all what people thought. Even a palace could be a prison.

Her parents never explained why she was able to freeze the water or make snow out of nowhere. Or why she was not allowed to attend school like other children or to play with them. She heard the servants whispering about her mysterious power, but she never knew why they feared it.

When she accidentally hurt her sister with her powers, her parents decided to close the gates of the palace for forever. They said it was for her protection. Her connection to the outside world was cut down, even with her sister. She was only allowed to meet her during dinners, only with her gloves on. They were not allowed to play together, or have lessons in the same room. She was not allowed to build snowmen, not even just for fun. She was always told that her power held a great beauty, but it could be also dangerous.

But she never knew why everybody feared her powers, or why she was taught to fear her own powers. Why she was not allowed to go outside while her sister Anna roamed freely in the castle. Why she was told to hide her powers or had to wear gloves in front of people. She learned the reason for this when she was eleven. A prophecy.

Your future is bleak,

Your kingdom will splinter,

Your land shall be cursed in unending winter,

With blasts of cold will come dark art,

And a ruler with a frozen heart.

It was about her, she knew. No one in the royal family had the power to control ice and snow.

Being the first born to the royal couple of Arendelle she was always destined to be a queen. So she began to fear about the day to come, she began to fear about her secret to be exposed, she began to fear the future waiting for her.

On her eighteenth birthday, her parents enlightened her with the news of her betrothal. She was betrothed to a certain prince of The Southern Isles since birth. They said that that it was a part of her duty as future queen of Arendelle. Besides, this marriage would make a strong political alliance between two powerful kingdoms. Royal marriages were never held out of love, not when she was destined to be a queen.

"It is wonderful." Her younger sister Anna sounded overjoyed with the news of her sister's betrothal. But she could not feel like that, she was not allowed too. Still she could not but feel a bit jealous of her sister.

But she hoped to fall in love with her betrothed during the courtship her parents promised before the marriage.

Unfortunately, she never got the chance.

Her parents died on their way to the Southern Isles. The king of the Southern Isles sent his regards in a letter addressed to the royal family, saying that all of the thirteen princes were unavailable to attend the funeral, and the king himself was too sick to journey to Arendelle. But he agreed to postpone the marriage until the mourning period was over.

She was soon titled as the Queen by the council, though her father's trusted advisor Kai agreed to act as her regent until she came to age.

Dignitaries from foreign kingdoms came to congratulate the new queen. But the queen never met any of them. She locked herself in her frozen room while Anna knocked and knocked at her door. And finally it faded. She sat there behind the closed door, crying, shivering in her self-created blizzard.

She was afraid, she was mourning. She never wanted to be a queen with the loss of her family. Without her parents she did not know how to hide her powers from being exposed.

Your future is bleak,

Your kingdom will splinter…

Now on her way towards the wedding altar, she was praying to God to give her strength to meet her destiny. Her sister, Anna, the maid-in-honor accompanied her towards the altar, where her betrothed stood. She never bothered to look at him or to see his face as she stepped on the altar beside him. She recited the marriage vow like a parrot after the priest. When her husband kissed her lips after being announced as the man and wife, she only followed him like a rag doll. Dignitaries from foreign kingdoms congratulated the new couple on their new life. She only smiled at them, trying hard to stop the ice forming inside her white gloves.

He offered his arm as the young queen followed her husband outside the church. Flowers girls followed them, showering the new couple with flowers. Standing beside him, she could not help but notice how green his eyes were, how warm he felt against her cold skin. She wanted to step back, because the magic was still stirring somewhere beneath the surface. She pressed her lips in a tight smile, and accepted his arm. He returned her smile reassuringly as the new royal couple appeared in front of the people for the first time.

The whole kingdom went on their knees at the sight of their new rulers, and cried in unison, "All hail Her majesty Queen Elsa of Arendelle. All hail His royal highness Princess Hans of the Southern Isles."

And thus this story began.

review please, before leaving this page. I need your opinions to go through my first story.


A.N- This story is based on the one-shot "Arranged" by "An Unknown Foreign Beauty" with her permission. I am completely swept over by her brilliant stories, and asked for her permission. I am glad she let me to use her idea. But it is not completely a rewrite of her story because I will mostly use my own ideas. It is also a bit inspired by "The young Victoria."

Reviews and favourites are most appreciated for a new writer like me. Don't sue me for the errors as English not my first language, and it is my first ever story on this website also.
