Your Royal Highness

Chapter 1

A new job

Elsa stared at the castle of Arendelle in the distance. Of her many jobs as a personal bodyguard, she had never had to protect anyone as important as the royal family. Sure, she had worked for many noble families, but this was… well, you couldn't get any higher than this.

She only served women or young boys. It had all begun with women being more comfortable around her; men didn't want to be protected by a woman. Even with her powers, it didn't look good. However, after saving the life of one noble family by freezing a small group of bandits, her powers got feared and desired. Word of the mystical ice sorceress spread quickly and after that she had no problems getting a job.

Keeping it however… her first job protecting a man, turned out to be her last. It had not been more than a week before he was coming on to her, and she had almost had to hurt him to keep him away. She got fired and decided that this was going to be a one-time thing. After that, she only protected women.

Her next job had been… problematic. The young lady she was protecting was to be married and her parents were constantly seeking suitors for their daughter. When they got there, they were polite, smiling, interested in the family fortune… and then they got a look at Elsa. She didn't mean to distract them, she really didn't. But her beauty had been the end of all of her jobs.

She had milk-white skin, ice blue eyes and platinum blonde hair, always braided.

Quite a few men had told her that she was the most beautiful woman they had ever seen. Elsa did not take their compliments to heart though. Men were good at sweet words, only made for making women swoon. The exact same phrase would be used later, on yet another young soul.

At her last job, she had been protecting the eldest of three daughters. She had not been fond of Elsa. She didn't like to share the spotlight. Often she would require Elsa to be elsewhere when she was meeting suitors or going to parties. Of course this became an issue. Who would pay for protection if it wasn't being used… and then Elsa got a letter from the king and queen of Arendelle.

Not fully knowing how she felt about this task, she had accepted without hesitation. After all, refusing the royal family themselves would not be taken lightly and she was in the need of a job.

She stopped the horse in front of the giant, brown gates. They were more than four times her height. She liked it actually, the castle. It was beautiful and seemed like a proper place. Not that she had expected anything else of course. A couple of servants came walking towards her.

"Lady Elsa?" one of the servants asked and smiled at her. Elsa nodded and gave a small, polite smile in return. "My name is Kai Andersen, I am here to escort you to the king and queen. Mr. Brown will take your horse to the stables," Kai said. Mr. Brown bowed his head "milady"

Elsa nodded again and gracefully got off her horse. She followed Kai inside the castle and looked around. The walls and the carpets were in deep, red colors. Everything was beautiful and tasteful. Kai stopped in front of a door and gave it a knock.

"Enter" a male voice said and Kai opened the door. "Your majesties, I bring you Lady Elsa" he said and Elsa stepped into the room. "Your majesties" Elsa said and bowed before them. "Welcome to our home, please have a seat" the king said. He nodded at Kai, who bowed and left the room. Elsa placed herself at the chair before the king and queen and looked at them. The king was a tall man with light brown hair, a small mustache and forest green eyes. The queen had a darker shade of brown hair and her eyes were a beautiful, sky-blue. She had a soft expression on her face and Elsa immediately felt like this was a kind person.

"We appreciate that you got here this fast. As we wrote in our letter, this position is as our daughter's personal bodyguard. Every moment she is not being guarded… well, let me just say that I am very happy that you are here" the queen said and gave Elsa a warm smile.

"We have heard good things about you… bad things as well" the king said. The queen gave her husband a look of concern, but he continued, "You were fired from lord Fanes service?" The queen did not look pleased with her husband's questions, but Elsa simply nodded. "I was yes. The lord wished more from my service than protection, and when I declined, he decided it was best for us to part ways. I agreed."

The king looked at her, while the queen nodded "I have heard this version before. You were described to us as a beautiful, talented young woman. While your powers were the reason we started looking for you, these other factors have also been something we requested"

Elsa frowned at this and gave the queen a puzzled look "may I ask why, your majesty?" she asked. If the queen had heard about her other jobs, she had probably also heard of the problems there came with them.

The queen nodded again. "Our daughter is… well. She is quite beautiful and has a way of getting into people's heart. We have had problems with her being… too desired. Her last bodyguard fell hopelessly in love with her to a point where we did not feel safe with him around her. You being a woman solved that problem. And when we heard you had a reputation for distracting young suitors… we thought this could be just what we needed"

Elsa blinked. The princess was too desired and the king and queen planned to use her as a distraction? That was not what she had hoped for. "She must be very beautiful. A proper lady who the suitors cast one glimpse at and then never forgets." She thought and could already see the princess in her head. Graceful, polite, soft voice and… maybe a complete tyrant. If she was truly adored by everyone, there was a good risk she was also spoiled and ungrateful. Not that you could expect anything less from a princess, if there was anyone who could act like that, it was the royal family.

"I will do everything in my power to keep the princess safe from any harm. I shall protect her night and day." Elsa said with a clear, confident voice. The king and queen both smiled. "Very well. You will get a room close to our daughter's. You are to escort her every time she leaves the castle. You will be by her side as a guardian, when she is dining, when she is practicing and so on" the king said and stood up and so did the queen. Elsa quickly followed their example.

They went out to the hall. The king looked at Elsa "we will find our daughter and get you two properly introduced. We will be back shortly" they left and Elsa followed them with her eyes. She took a deep breath and readied herself to meet the princess.

A loud crash came from behind her, followed by a panicked "LOOK OUT!"
