Hey thanks for reading my fanfic, hope you enjoy it, got the idea for this story from watching Game of Thrones season 4 The Purple Wedding.
Sorry, if I misspelled a few words or if I used the same words over and over and over again, I was trying to write this as fast as I could. So I did not spend a lot of time with editing it.
Rated T for sexual reference
All the characters are the same as in Tangled and Frozen, but I have made a few changes to the original story line.
1. There never was an eternal winter like in Frozen.
2. Elsa has just been crowned queen, but is this story, everyone already knows about Elsa's powers.
3. Kristoff is already Arendelle's Ice Harvester and Deliverer, and is friends with Anna.
4. Flynn Rider or Eugene is not married to Repunzel, and the Tangled story took place only a few months, not three years from now.
Hans, instead of trying to marry Anna, is trying to marry Elsa.
Several of Hans' family members are in this story.
It was all happening again, just how she remembered it. But she could not do anything to stop it; Elsa just remained in her seat as she watched the whole thing unfold before her.
She is sitting at a banquet table at the royal wedding of her sister Anna, and the Southern Isles Prince, Haldor Westergaard. The prince calls for Anna to refill his wine cup, she does and hands it to him.
He gives a toast, he drinks, he coughs, he chokes, and then falls to the ground strangling for breath as his skin turns purple.
Haldor's mother, the Queen of the Southern Isles, who is also at the banquet, runs from her table to try to help Haldor as he is dying. Joining the queen is her youngest son Hans who was sitting with Elsa. But neither Hans nor the Queen can help Haldor as he continues to choke.
However, just moments before Haldor's struggling stops, he points a shaky finger at Anna, as she is holding the wine cup he just drank from, before he finally dies in agony.
The Southern Isles queen cries in sorrow as her son dies in her arms, before her she suddenly looks up at Anna, hatred in her eyes. "She did this! She poisons my son! She murdered him! Guards, take her! take her! Kill her!"
"NO!" Elsa tries to call out, but no sound comes out her mouth. She tries to move but her body won't. all she can do is watch as guards come and grab Anna as she tries to struggle against them. Anna calls to Elsa for help but Elsa can't do anything as one guard then approaches Anna with a sword and is about to follow the queens command to execute her.
"NO!" Elsa calls out again and this time she raises her hand and ice blasts from it. Freezing everything and everyone at the wedding, they all then shatter into tiny pieces. Looking around at the devastation she had caused, Elsa then looks where Anna used to be but only saw a pile of broken ice.
"Anna! NO!"
Elsa's head jumps up as she gasps, realizing it was a dream. Well…more like a memory…some of it.
There was a wedding, Haldor did die, and Anna was blamed for murdering him. But when the guards came for her, Hans stood up and commanded them to take her to a confined place, before ordering the whole kingdom of Arendelle be locked down as they tried to figure out what happened to his brother.
That was two days ago, and the only thing that the investigation of Haldor's death was that he had been poisoned, but no one knew whom it was that did it. Leaving Anna as the prime suspect.
Anna was now in prison, and the Southern Isles Queen was demanding that Anna be killed for her crime of poisoning Haldor.
This all made things extremely difficult for Elsa. She has been queen for only a few months now, and her kingdom faced financial problems in its trading business with the other kingdoms.
To help strengthen Arendelle, it was proposed that an alliance be made between her kingdom and the Southern Isles' by marrying Anna to one of the Southern Isle's princes.
But now that Haldor has been murdered, that alliance was all but gone. Meaning she had to find a new way to safe her kingdom from ruined while also trying to protect her sister.
Breathing hard, Elsa rose from her bed as she saw it was morning as the sun's rays came through the window of her bedchambers. However, despite the sun, and it being summer, a thin layer of frost covered the entire room.
Elsa gasped as she realized that the frost came from her while she was sleeping. My powers are getting stronger and more dangerous, even when I'm sleeping! She realized in a panic.
Her fear got worse as she heard a knock at her bedroom door. "Your Highness? It's I Gerda. Are you awake?" Gerda was Elsa's head lady in waiting.
"Yes, I'm awake," Elsa, answered as she got out of bed, afraid of Gerda and the other servants coming in and seeing what Elsa had done to the room.
"Very good your Highness. Your handmaids are here and ready to help dress and prepare you for today, if you will allow us to inter in."
"No!" Elsa burst out. "I mean, your services will not be necessary. I can prepare myself for today. Please, tend to the others duties of the castle."
There was a pause, then Gerda said. "As you wish, your Highness."
Elsa sighed in relief as she heard her servants leave. Then she realized that she would have to wash and dress herself now. But that was far better than letting them in and seeing the ice everywhere. Better than letting them see what a monster I am she thought, then started to prepare herself for the day.
After she bathed and cleaned herself with cold water and dressed in her royal attire, the ice in the room had melted. Elsa then left to have her morning breakfast before staring her day to save her kingdom, and Anna.
Anna woke and felt her whole body sore from sleeping on a hard prison bed.
At first, she didn't know why she was in a prison, then she remembered the wedding and afterwards. She was taking here, where Prince Hans told she would have to stay while he tried to solve who had poisoned his brother.
Since the wedding, only Hans has visited her, informing her about the investigation, as well as making sure she had everything she needed while in prison.
He is such a good man, unlike his brother. I would rather wake up here in prison then with Haldor Anna thought.
Although Anna had agreed to marry Hans' older brother, it was only because Elsa told her it was her 'duty' as a princess to Arendelle to marry Haldor, even though Anna told Elsa she did not want to marry him.
Ultimately, Queen Elsa had to command Anna to marry Haldor. They haven't talked since.
Anna suddenly saw the prison door open, and Hans walked into the room.
"Hans!" she jumped off the bed. "I'm so glad you're here. Have you found anything about the murder?"
Hans's kind smile dropped a little. "I'm afraid not yet my princess, we are still questioning everyone in the kingdom."
"Oh," said Anna sadly.
"But I do have some good news," said Hans. "I have arranged for you to leave this prison but you must remain in your room under guard."
"Really?" asked Anna surprised. "How where you able to do that?"
"I talked it over with your sister and the guards and they agreed."
"My sister, how is she?" asked Anna wondering what had happened to Elsa after the wedding.
Hans sighed. "I'm afraid things are a bit tense right now for your sister. The royal guest, ambassadors, and dignitaries from the other kingdoms are in an outrage of being held here under investigation, and the people are in a panic about the murder and about you."
"And what about…your mother?" asked Anna.
Hans looked away as a sad emotion came across his face. "She's in the cathedral…with my brother."
Anna felt sorry for Hans. He had just lost his bother, and yet, he was tying to help her and her sister despite what he must be going through. "I am so sorry for your loss. Have you…been with your brother yet?"
Hans took a deep breath. "Ah, no. I'm afraid I haven't had time to mourn him yet."
"You should go see him Hans, to say goodbye," Anna placed a hand on his shoulder.
"But I can't. I have to find out who it was who murdered him, and bring them to justice," said Hans determinedly.
"You don't think I did it?"
Hans looked surprised. "Of course not. I know you are innocent," he then took her hands into his. "And I promise, I will protect you."
Anna sighed, it comforted her to hear someone say that. "Thank you Hans. but you should go see you brother, don't worry about me, please."
Hans nodded. "Very well, after I have escorted you to your room, I will see Haldor."
As Anna, Hans and her guards walked to her room in the castle, they passed several of the castle's staff as well and a few of the royal visitors. All of them stared in silence at Anna, some believing her to be innocent, while others, like the Duke of Weselton, believed her to be guilty.
When they reached Anna's room, before she entered in, she turned to Hans. "Thank you again for everything."
Hans bowed. "My pleasure princess."
Hans made his way across the castle's courtyard towards the cathedral
When he entered the building, he saw several Westergaard soldiers as well as the bishop standing around the room while his mother stood at the alter, where his brother was laid.
"Your Highness," the bishop greeted Hans.
"Bishop. How long has my mother been here?" asked Hans.
"Since nightfall I'm afraid" replied the Bishop.
Hans nodded, then said to the captain of the guard standing with the bishop. "May I have moment alone with my mother and brother?"
The captain agreed and the guards and bishop left the building.
Hans then stood next to his mother in front of his brother. While his mother was now near middle age, she still looked beautiful with dark hair and a slim frame.
Hans older brother Haldor, also had dark hair and the similar facial complexion of his mother, which is probably why she always loved Haldor more than Hans who looked more like his father.
"Hans," his mother said.
"Mother, you should rest now," he placed a hand on her shoulder trying to comfort her.
But she pulled away. "I will never rest. Never, until the one who did this is dead!"
Hans tried to reason with her. "You can't mean Anna. Mother, she cannot possible be the one who did this."
"You saw it. Before Haldor died, he pointed right at her. You know she did not want to marry him," Hans's mother said while staring at her dead son.
"Mother, that doesn't mean anything. You must rest, then we will talk about this. Please, return to the castle," Hans then let a little sorrow show across his face. "I…I would like to say goodbye to my brother."
His mother finally looked at him. "Yes, of course. You haven't had time to say farewell. Alright, I will leave you."
The queen left the cathedral to go back to the castle where she was staying, leaving Hans alone with Haldor.
Leaning over his brother's body, Hans sorrow changed into a smile. "Hello Haldor, I see that your skin is still purple. Tisk. Tisk. Troll's Bane, it always was such a potent poison. I would know, I've used it before."
He the left his brother's alter to walk up to a table where there was a wine bottle and poured himself a glass.
"I will admit your and mother's plan was pretty good. Marry Anna, then arrange for Elsa to have a little accident. Making you the ruler of the Arendelle, the largest export of ice on the continent."
Hans then stood before the alter while drinking. "But, I'm afraid that I have my own plans involving Elsa, and I couldn't let you and mother get in the way."
"So, with Anna blamed for your murder and Elsa unable to help her, she will have to turn to me to save Arendelle's beloved Princess, making me a hero in the eyes of everyone. And when I ask for the queen's hand, What can she possibly say but yes."
"Now then," Hans placed the glass down. "If you will excuse me, I have kingdom to takeover."
After taking a moment to look like he had been crying for his brother, Hans exited the cathedral. Told the bishop he may proceed with the burial rites. Then left for the castle.
Everything is going according to plan he thought.
