Prologue

"You don't mind me being with a woman, father? What about the heir? The kingdom? The people?"

"As long as my only daughter is happy, what else could a father ask for?"

Seated there, opposite of her father, The Ruler of Arendelle, King Agdar, Elsa literally gaped at the fact that her father was actually approving this suggestion of the royal advisors council. Oh, how she desired so much in her want to blame them but Elsa realized she could not. She cannot. They had helped the kingdom so much and been so loyal to their King and Queen.

Elsa sighed inwardly. To compose herself without pinching her bridge nose or temple, Elsa closed her eyes momentarily and took a deep calming breath. She was recognized for her calm persona with the other kingdom after all. When blue eyes fluttered open again 3 seconds later, Elsa still cannot grip on her father's relaxed manner.

This father of hers was really hard to predict almost all the time. Wasn't it was him who really wanted her to welcome those male suitors from other countries and held numerous of balls since her 8th birthday 10 years ago only for that one purpose?

Who are you? Where is my father?

King Agdar shot a brow up. "You prefer I disapprove your sexual preference then?"

"What? No! Of course not, father." Elsa shook her head rigorously and even got up from the chair she sat on. Those questions were supposed to stay inside her head but she said them out loud. The composed Princess Elsa lost it. "I.. thank you Father." She settled back on the chair and smiled at her father to show she meant it. How grateful she was for her parent's acceptance.

"Good. I approve the suggestion then. Rest early tonight my dear for tomorrow you would not be alone, not anymore and anywhere."

"That's it?" Elsa questioned when her father motioned for the door.

"That's it."

"Nothing more?" Elsa suspiciously asked.

"Nothing more."

"Okay. Alright." Elsa got up and went to the door of the King's study room. "What about.."

"The heir? The kingdom? The people?"

Elsa nodded with hand still on the door knob looking at her father sitting behind the desk. The look his daughter had gave away the already being asked questions.

King Agdar sighed and placed back the quill to look square in her daughter's eyes. "You said you prefer a lady, a princess than a prince 5 years ago." He remembered that day as clear as day. "Do you plan to marry any of them if you meet the one anytime soon?"

Marry? She was going to get married? Elsa was surprised, shocked even. "Well, I can't say anytime soon since the one isn't that easy to find." Elsa said with easy smile. "And I'm staying inside the castle most of the time, you don't think it will make it easier either, aren't you Father?"

Agdar laughed, clearly amused by her. "Alright, my dear princess. Alright. Sometimes you are exactly like your mother."

At the same time, both the father and daughter held their breath glancing at the closed door on the other side of the room where another room was connected to the King's study room. Elsa's mother, Queen Idunn was there, probably was eavesdropping their conversation. She only wasn't with them since King Agdar wanted to talk to Elsa alone. Not that he wanted to keep anything as a secret from his queen but Idunn wouldn't want to force her beloved daughter about anything that decided by others even if they were the advisors. For Idunn, the princess had the whole right to choose anyone on her own will not because of some order or request.

King Agdar cleared his throat comically. "You know, full with intelligence but being able to appear at ease." A sincere comment to appease his queen before she burst into the room. He still wanted to sleep in the chamber tonight, not on the couch of the study room though he silently admitted it was quite comfy.

"And pretty too..?" Elsa added, trying to hide her amused smile. Oh, her parents were so cute sometimes.

"Yes, yes that's too. One of our queen's finest qualities." Agdar eagerly agreed.

They saw the shadow under the door moved again. Both heaved sigh of relief before sharing quiet chuckles.

Elsa straightened back her posture as the mighty princess she was. "Don't worry father. One day, when the time comes bringing me the chosen one, I'll make her my queen. Until then, I prefer to focus on what a princess can do to contribute to our kingdom, to our people."

"Then this would be one of your new duties to please the kingdom advisors as well." King Agdar rose from his chair with serious face but still tender face as he proceeded. "Heir can be adopted and be taught to be responsible and wise. People would be please if they know their only princess is happy being in love and love by someone even if that someone is a woman."

He paused before continued. "And you should know better as well about heir."

"Olaf." Elsa stated. Prince Olaf was Elsa's 7 years old brother.

King Agdar smiled. "Have trust in our people. Trust me my daughter. This is for your own good."

Her own good. Why must that anyways? She was still very young to find a lover or that she wanted one at this moment, that she was sure of. She was going to think about it even if her father already approved of the suggestion. She just hoped whoever her designated companion would willing to give her time for her thought even though the suggested idea could not begin in the latter part of the month or year, instead, she only got until tomorrow's afternoon to prepare herself.

Elsa squared her shoulders and met her father in the eyes. "I trust you father." No matter how ridiculous this idea was for her, she trusted her parents with her life as she believed they would for hers too, and for the dreaming sleeping soundly Olaf in his own room in the castle.

Elsa got out from the King's study room after saying, "Good night father," and added, "Goodnight to you too mother."

"Goodnight Elsa." Her father replied and before the door closed, she heard her mother wished her back and Elsa left for her room with her personal maid, Gerda who was waiting patiently in front of the room.

An appointed consort. Elsa would end up with one before the day of tomorrow ended. Who thought it was wise to appoint the Kingdom's only Princess a consort? She felt like being betrothed to someone, a planned fiancee sounded more like it instead of a lover. But this idea of designing the princess a consort as they called it was supposed to make her happy? She must be looking so lonely in the castle and cold that they thought of her like that, that she needed different kind of love to treat her better, to make her heart happier.

Just do your job as the princess, Elsa. You'll be fine. You have to be.

"But they plan to appoint a new consort for every 3 months, what that makes me then?" That was what the princess thought before Gerda quietly slipped out of the room leaving Elsa was laying on her bed. It was a surprised that sleep went to her as soon as she closed her eyes. She was tired, exhausted by today's event apparently.

Author's note: I just an Elsanna shipper and like to write a story about them. What do you think about the prologue?
