Chapter 1.
Head buried deep into papers Elsa wanted to groan. She was nearly tearing her hair out with stress Elsa has been Queen for almost six years she thought it would get easier but everyday seemed to be the same. Council meeting in the morning, then going about her expected duties of going over new laws and taxes all boring subjects that made Elsa's head hurt. Elsa banged her head against the desk when Anna barged through the door. "Good afternoon Elsa. "Anna chirped .Anna was in a good mood as always. Elsa couldn't help but smile when Anna was with her. "Good afternoon Anna" Elsa looked at Anna's rounding stomach. It had been three years ago when Anna married Kristoff and they still acted like they fell in love with each other yesterday. They were expecting their first child come fall. Elsa could not be happier for the couple although she had to admit to herself she was a little jealous she wanted a child of her own.
"So have you and Kristoff decided on a name?" Elsa enquired. Anna's eyes sparkled at the mention of their baby. "Yes! We have thought about Erik for a boy and Eva for a girl after mother." Anna's eyes sparkled with joy then turned to sadness. "I wish mom and dad were here to see their grandchild." Tears pricked at Anna's eyes, Elsa ran round her desk and kissed Anna's for head and looked into her eyes. "Mother and father would be so proud of you and they will always be here for us and the new arrival no matter what." Anna smiled weakly "Thanks Elsa." When Anna went to say something else someone knocked rapidly on the door .Elsa sighed and called "Come in." Henrik her first adviser walked in panting from walking up all the stairs to Elsa's office .He was a man in his late forties and was a little on the bigger size build but he was tall so the weight didn't look as bad. Gulping a breath he walked in.
"Your Majesty …Princess Anna "He bowed his head at Anna then to Elsa. "I have received a letter from the King of the Southern Isle I was asked to give this to you personally it is apparently a matter of great importance." Anna glanced at Elsa with curiosity and by looking at Anna's face Elsa knew that she didn't approve of the situation. "Anna would you please go and tell cook that I will be eating in my office tonight I still have a lot of work to finish. Thank you." Elsa just had to make up a reason to get Anna out of the room. Stress is not what she needed and thinking about it Elsa probably would eat her dinner in her office. Anna huffed she knew Elsa was trying to get rid of her while she read the letter. Anna would just have to grill her for information later not wanting to cause a fuss Anna left the room leaving Henrik and waiting a minute longer Elsa tore the letter open from its envelope and began to read:
Your Majesty Queen Elsa of Arendelle.
The subject I write to you about is of great importance the southern Isles is at threat of attack. And the Southern Isles army is low on men and resources I would like to ask your permission for an audience so I can discuss this matter further for I fear if I say to much it will fall into the wrong hands.
King Alexander V of The Southern Isles.
Elsa read and re read the letter and called for a high council meeting because war is not a subject that should be taken meeting passed in a blur Elsa knew she had to help even though she didn't want to, The Southern Isles being there biggest trades partner and her father had signed a treaty to say Arendelle would help in case of attack or war and The Southern Isles were pledged to do the same brakeage of this treaty all trades would stop and war would break out . Elsa ordered her most trusted and loyal messenger to deliver the message to the king. All she could do now was wait.
