Snow & Fire

Princess Laura of Chiredalle sat on the grass. She wasn't supposed to be outside unsupervised, but she didn't care. She hated being cooped up in her room, in her large, boring castle. She wondered what the rest of the world was like, she wondered if the rumors she overheard her family and the servants said were true. Especially the ones about Arendalle and Muckdale.

Imagine, she thought, the Queen of Arendalle, having ice & snow powers like me! And in Muckdale, the Grand Duke's children have heat & fire powers! I wonder how Prince Christopher managed to keep them hidden from everyone except his sister?

"Your Highness!" came a voice. "Her Majesty said you're not allowed to roam the grounds by yourself!"

Laura was so surprised, that the ground instantly froze. She turned around, hoping the person didn't see. The person was, Olive, one of her family's most trusted servants. "I was getting bored, Olive." Laura said.

"Boredom is no excuse for defying your grandparents." Olive reprimanded. Laura hardly knew her parents, except that her mom, Crown Princess Aina, was always on "diplomatic" trips. Although Laura had repeatedly asked about her dad, no one wanted to speak of him, as if he never existed. Most of Chiredalle thought that Laura's Stepdad, Duke Magnus, was her dad.

"You know, one day your orders will come from me." Laura said.

"Until that day, back inside, Your Highness." Olive said. And Laura reluctantly obeyed.
