The chirping crickets could be heard throughout the royal garden in the evening air as the moonlight caused the fluorescent flowers below to glow almost magically. It was peaceful, tranquil even. Elsa could see it through the window from she was sitting listening to men prattle on about goodness knows what. It was late, she was tired and quite frankly the monotonous blathering of advisors wasn't exactly helping.
"Your majesty?" Came a questioning voice from among the advisors, Elsa's azure eyes shot up to meet his granite ones and he looked scared, why?
"Your majesty as you know there has been recent talk about the town, concerning your hand in marriage." He said, Alec, she believed his name was. Brown hair, granite eyes, broad shouldered and towered a foot over Elsa.
"I am aware of this Alec, continue." Elsa replied whilst raising an inquisitive eyebrow. He shuffled nervously before speaking again. He straightened his posture and cleared his throat.
"Well you see, your majesty, the townsfolk have begun to question your-uh your, they have begun to question-" He stammered, Elsa frowned at him as she saw he was very nervous about telling her something. Then it was most likely something she wouldn't like.
"My what Alec?" Elsa asked with the most steady tone she could manage, how nervous Alec was made her fear what exactly he was about to say.
"Y-your sexuality, you majesty." He replied, fear evident in his voice. Elsa's eyebrows rose and her cheeks took on a red hue as she clenched her fists under the table.
"Excuse me?" She asked. Alec swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing and he looked down at the Queen.
"Some believe you to be a homosexual, d-due to the fact that you've yet to marry." Alec explained, he could feel the chill that radiated from the Queen next to him. Either she was angry, furious even or she just wanted to torment everyone else im the room.
"Because I'm not married?" Elsa said flatly.
"Indeed, your majesty." Alec confirmed.
