The three day long journey was over Arrendel was in the distance, Hans smiled at the castle trying to imagine what it be like to live in a place like that. He closed his eyes say himself in the throne room holding the queen's hands, imagine the rumors of how her eyes were like her mothers a light and bright blue like the inside of a glacier…then SMACK his head fell forward. He turned around, his older brother laughed brother number twelve, Victor beat him by three years to be duke of a near by providence, as a gift for his 24th birthday. Hans just turned 21 he thought that mean something the true age of becoming a man. He rubbed the back of his head, " Come-on now Hansy, you think you got a chance? She has rejected every letter our brothers have wrote to her. Every invitation to a ball, for us to come to her everything. You think you could just show up and swoon her? " "Yes, I do maybe she has been training to run a country is why she has not replied, think about it, her parents died when she was 18 years old. After a tragedy like that.. do you think you want to see anyone?'' his brother chuckled and replied, " I say her heart is cold, cold as ice, too many walls are up. And brother even your charm dosen't stand a chance." He pinched his cheek he smacked his hand away. The ship was docked. The bridge let down he went to step of his brother pushed ahead, he turned and looked back "oh Oldest first to see the queen, father said so." Hans stepped off the doc he stared at his brother in rage. He thought will have to thrown some how, some way. As he watched his brother leave, he walked around the city. Might start memorizing now, if he is to run it.
Victor stepped up to the gate and knocked. A small window opened, "yes?" replied a guard. "Open the gate, I have a letter for the queen from the near by kingdo-" he was cut off "Gate is not to be opened until the queen has ordered." He held up a small bag, 12 silver coins say you do and a bachelor of the near by kingdom, with a letter from his father the king says you let me in." the guard opened the gate and took the money. Victor walked forward, no one in the castle not a sound, he heard the light footsteps of boots he was above the stairs, her the princess Elsa. He called out "Princess" she stopped and turned he stepped forward with a low bow. "I come with a letter for you madam, from the southern Isle, by my father to ask a request of me asking...," she cut him off " No, I am not taking any letters or suiters, a worker will lead you out. Leave the letter here." "but my queen." She walked on at a hurried pace, not even looking at him a guard took the letter and lead him back out.
Hans was saddling his horse at the dock, the kingdom's city was small he had to make a good impression on the queen. His brother walked by "back already?" He replied yes, I am leaving." Hans stopped walking after him shouting "leaving? That journey took three days we are not going!" he threw his bag off the ship onto the ground. "I am, but you're not. Stay here and rule the kingdom or find another way home, or maybe don't come home at all. You are already a disappointment. He lifted the bridge and the crew untied the ropes, he turned around. The ship left. Hans heard bells in the distance the crowd cheering. He heard faint shouting in the streets "the gates are open" Hans knew this was his chance he quickly saddled and loaded up his horse. He mounted and said lets go his horse took off forward and then smack, he halted his horse. He ran over a young lady she fell into a boat, Hans felt horrible and was in a panic this day is not going well. "Hey!" she shouted. He asked out in concern "I I am so sorry! Are you hurt?" she was dressed in royal attire maybe if the queen did not take interest maybe another princess from a country may. She replied , "heeyyy… ahh yeah I am no, no I am ok," she tried to get up. Hans to this moment with that in mind, "are you sure?" he asked out in concern. He did feel bad the fact he ran over someone, and almost didn't notice. She stammered "yeah, I I just wasn't looking where I was going and uh but I'm great actually." She seemed nervous and she shyly lowered her shoulders. Hans thought if I have any chance with leaving her, or ruling a kingdom he might as well turn on his charm, he sighed and said , "oh thank goodness." and held out his hands with a smile. She smiled back and they had a moment of just looking at each other. Hans had never had someone look that way at him with admiration and joy, she took his hand. Hans thought oh gosh my name, he said, "oh-uh prince Hans of the southern Ilse's" he bowed she replied, "oh princess Anna of Arendel." She curtsied. "princess..my lady" he bowed upon one knee and thought the younger sister the princess why didn't I think of that this could be a chance my chance. She could introduce me to her sister, if all else fails maybe he could get her to fall for him, To rule a kingdom" she seemed shocked at his respect. His horse lifted a hoof, the boat slowly fell back almost into the water "whoa whoa!" he reached out and caught her she looked at the water then back. "whoo whoa" Hans tried to think of something to say "um" she said "hi..again," his horse put his foot down they shot back Hans landed on his back. The princess fell on top of him. "Oh boy." he said, as he He thought this is not going well at all. She looked up, "oh this is awkward, she continued on stammering, "not that you're awkward, we're uh I mean I'm awkward,.. You're gorgeous, wait, what ." She looked away he smiled, got up, brushed himself up looking at her with a sorry expression, he thought, be the most gentleman like you can be. " I would like to formally apologize for hitting the princess of Arendel over with my horse," he paused and smiled "and for every moment after." she replied "no, no, no its fine I I'm not that princess." She tried to apologize and explain. " I mean if you hit my sister Elsa, that would be geeshh." She chuckled. Hans thought, I guess she is as serious and stern as his brother's said. She continued, "cause you know…" she paused when she saw his horse and said hello and scratched his chin. This made Hans smile. "but lucky you its just me." Hans stepped back and smiled and said, "uh just you?" she replied, "yeah…" she stood and smiled, the bells rang she said, "oh the coronation oh I have to go." He smiled and waved then his horse back up and he fell in the water when he surfaced, he smiled and thought, guess I might become king after all.
