"Don't you want to settle down milady? Meet a nice prince?"

-"To tell you the truth, no! Of all princes that you've ever shown me, there's not a single one I'd consider worthy of even shaking hands with!" Elsa answered her advisor. "And by the way, I don't think that this should be a priority in a 21 year-old's life."

"But milady, the princess has..."

-"As if I didn't know! Now leave me alone I don't want to hear this nonsense anymore!"

Elsa's advisors had been trying to persuade her into marrying some prince for quite some time now, and it was getting on her nerves. Anna and Kristoff had taken it to the next level and just recently got married.

"Morning, Elsa."

-"Morning, Anna. How's Kristoff? How was the Honeymoon?"

"Good! He's doing good. I think. I mean I can't be sure right now because he's not here so I can't ask him, but you know... like not... he's... He's fine!"

-"Good to hear! Did you have a nice trip?" she asked Anna with a slight, belated grin.

"Yeah it was beautiful! We did a whole bunch of things and tried out a lot of stuff there like for examp..."

Elsa giggled like an 11 year old who just hit puberty.

"Oh come on, Elsa! You're the older one of us! You're the Queen! You shouldn't laugh at something that's barely ambiguous!"

-"But I'm the Queen so I can laugh at whatever I want."

"I think maybe your advisor's idea isn't that bad. I mean a handsome, smart guy would really be a nice change in your life!"

-"I already told you and everyone else: I don't fancy any of these guys! They're just all so weird!"

"They were all completely normal guys!"

-"Well then maybe I don't like guys."

Silence.

"Don't you have stuff to do?" Elsa snapped at Anna.

"Yeah I'll...I'll go and unpack."

Anna stood up and walked away swiftly without turning back.
The door shut behind her.
Elsa broke down, her face in her hands, laughing. But it wasn't a happy laugh. You could see the frustration in her tear-filled eyes.
The window frames got frosty, the glass turned semi-translucent then opaque.

She ran up to her room jumped on the bed face first and screamed on top of her lungs into her pillows.
Her room froze completely and icicles grew from every imaginable corner of the room.

"ELSA? ELSA!" Anna furiously knocked on the door, but it wouldn't open.
"Elsa please don't shut me out again! OUCH!" the door knob had frozen solid while Anna had held it.
A frostbite became visible and Anna shivered.
-"Go away! I want to be left alone!"

The next morning, when Elsa walked down to the dining hall, there was only one plate and one set of eating utensils on the table, which meant that Anna had already had breakfast, and Elsa would be eating alone.
Next to her plate, on top of her daily newspaper was an envelope.
"That's odd." Elsa usually didn't receive any mail at that time, since she told the staff that she'd rather not be bothered with such things in the morning. Considering this, whatever was inside that envelope must be of great importance.

She turned it around to see who'd sent it when she saw a shiny, glimmering seal with the emblem of one of Arendelle's trade partners, the Kingdom of Aphaunia, which was located in the middle east.
She slit the letter open with her knife and began to read.

Highly-valued Queen Elsa,

as your newest partner in trade, the Aphaunia Kingdom would like to invite you and the whole Royal Household to visit the palace in our capital, Araka. It takes about six days to sail by ship and then a two day's journey on horseback.
We would be delighted to have you and would feel very honored, if you accepted our invitation.

Yours faithfully,
The Royal House of Aphaunia

"By ship? I can't go by ship. I won't go by ship!" Elsa thought to herself "but I suppose it'd be necessary if I wanted to get there."
"Well if they want to see me they'll have to come here." she said to herself as she rang for a member of staff that would take the letter away and write a suitable reply.

"Hey Elsa, I'm sorry for what happened! I won't go on about it." Anna said while entering the dining hall for lunch.
-"Thanks Anna! Oh and by the way in three weeks the Royal family of one of our trade partners will visit us, just so you know."
"Uh nice! Maybe they have a handsome, nice son that... I mean... it sounds lovely .. that they are coming over."
