"The name is Han, Hanson Alister." the tall blonde man said. Elsa blinked and was about to respond when Anna called for her.
"Excuse me." She said heading towards the audience chamber.
"But I don't even know your name!" Hanson called.
"Elsa! Queen Elsa." She answered picking up he skirts and racing away from him.
That had been three weeks ago and Elsa was sitting in her throne in the audience chamber bored beyond belief. Anna sighed beside her and Kristoff grumbled about something. Elsa was about to call it a day when she spotted Hanson Alister. Sighing, she continued and waited for the tall blonde man to approach.
"Lord Hanson Alister of the Fells requesting residence in the Kingdom Arendelle." the master of the audience stated. Elsa sat straighter and stared at the lord.
"And why do you seek residence?" Elsa asked. Lord Hanson cleared his throat and said "The Fells is a dangerous place for a man like me."
"How so?" Elsa asked.
"Many consider me a thief, others a threat to the crown, and many more a threat to the queendom. I however am none of those." Lord Alister said. Elsa paused to think. A man considered a thief, a threat to a crown and a kingdom. Anna muttered, "And we thought Hans was trouble."
Elsa smiled and said, "Request granted. And Mires, I am done for the day. Ilsa and Ildri, lesson time."
Two girls rose from a corner in the room and came over to stand beside the Queen. Mires bowed, and Lord Alister watched in interest as the Queen, her niece and student left the hall. Elsa relaxed when she finally left the chamber.
"Aunt Elsa. Why did you let him stay?" Ilsa asked. Elsa smiled and shook her head. She was asking the same question herself.
It was late that evening when the answer came to her.
"Queen Elsa? May I speak with you?" Lord Alister's voice drifted to her. Elsa rose with a small smile, and went to her door. When she opened it, Lord Alister was standing there looking awkwardly around.
"Yes?" Elsa asked, her heart fluttered in her chest and she struggled to keep control over her power.
"I would like to thank you. Not many have trusted me." Alister said. Elsa glanced up at him and motioned him into her rooms.
"What do you mean by 'not many have trusted me'?" Elsa asked, after retrieving her gloves and settling herself in a chair. She motioned him to sit.
"I'm a wizard with no heritage. Born and raised in the slums of Fells-march. I was the leader of a gang but quit street life. I learned that I was related to the queen and that I was a wizard. I saved the princess heir but I did not know it was her. I left the Fells. But I didn't leave the Fells. It is very confusing." Hanson said, his head dropping to his hands. Elsa paused, a wizard! Then she did something that changed Arendelle forever, she reached out and touched his shoulder. Elsa and Han gasped at the same time as their magics clashed. Elsa wrenched her hand away.
"I'm so sorry!" Han said, "I don't usually leak magic."
"It's alright. No harm done." Elsa replied, pulling off her glove and testing her power. Han gaped.
"Sorry. I have magic too and it is typically well behaved." Elsa said. Except when you are around me, she added silently. Han smiled, and Elsa's heart skipped some beats. Han stood and bowed.
"I shall leave now." he said.
"Come back for breakfast." Elsa said, then mentally smacked herself. Why on earth did I say that, Elsa thought. But as she watched the wizard leave, she knew why. He had captured her heart, through his charm and grit. Elsa smiled softly at herself. Arendelle was in for a magical future.
