A soft smile graced her perfect face. She was so happy, words could not be used to describe the glee she was just feeling.
Her boyfriend of two years had finally proposed to her!
It was something she knew her mother would've been proud of. Her little sister had eloped. Of course it wasn't a bad thing, but she was doing things right. Just how her mother would've wanted.
"You have no idea how much I love you... Right now," she teased her new fiancé, a smile tugging on both their lips.
"You know after we get married," his eyes shined brightly, "I want for us to try for a baby!"
The blonde gasped, a deep red blush covering her cheeks. "Harald! We're just starting."
"You do know that we can now begin to..." Harald wagged his eyebrows seductively.
Elsa Anderson, ms. Perfect, blushed. It was her dream to give her all at her wedding night. He knew she wished for that, but that wasn't going to stop him from asking. What if he got lucky?
A pout suddenly appeared on her face, "wait till we're married?"
Elsa stared at her fiancé with huge sparkly blue eyes. Hoping against everything that he'd not pressure her.
The brunette sighed, contemplating her wish. "Fine, Elsa." He pecked her nose and she began giggling. He hugged the woman, reassuring he wouldn't press on, and kissed her forehead his lips lingering there.
"On one condition,"
Her huge blue eyes stared up at him, "and what's that?"
Harald let go of the blonde girl, his left hand scratching the side of his strong chin.
He couldn't really not ask her, after all he was his brother.
"Harald, what's the condition?" Elsa's anxiety began to get the better of her. "Is it really that bad?"
Her fiancé turned his back to her. A slight frown on his face.
"Tell me Harald, is it really that bad?" The anxious girls nails began to scratch at her coat sleeve. "What can you possibly be asking for if you can't even tell me what it is?"
Finally the brunette haired man turned to face her, his face and green eyes as serious as his military position.
"Forgive my brother... Hans."
CH. 1 BEGINNINGS
Elsa swayed from left to right her wedding dress pressed against her body with her hands. She was so happy, so excited about her wedding!
If it weren't for her fiance's brother, everything would be perfect.
A small frown appeared on her soft lips. Why did Harald have to bring his annoying youngest brother up? She knew he was related to him. And she also knew that they were going to be related. But what he had done to her sister was unforgivable!
That slimy fool two timed her. He left her drunk and passed out at a local nightclub. For all they knew he could've raped her little sister.
Elsa sighed. It wasn't like she could forever stay angry at him, with her marrying that swines' brother. Harald had sent him to boot camp after that, and he had personally made sure his brother had suffered. But that wasn't enough. Not for her... not for Anna.
The blonde settled the dress down gently, spreading it on the bed. Maybe she would never even have to see the monster of man. Ever again. Harald had only asked her to forgive him. That didn't mean she had to forget. Right?
The girl sighed again. What was she to do? Harald couldn't force her to either sleep with him, nor force her to forgive his brother. Though she knew Harald just wanted to get her to agree with him on something. The man was used to being listened to.
A burst of the door abruptly shook Elsa out of trans, what in the world? With her hand to her chest she stood quickly from the bed and walked out towards the noise. A large blonde man, holding a load of what she could see dresses had just burst through her door, not so much as even knocking.
The blondes eyes pivoted from the mess of a man to the clothes he was carrying.
"Um, excuse me can I help-"
Suddenly without warning she saw a flash of red and before she knew it she was on the ground with a giggling girl atop of her.
"Oh Elsa! Big sister!" A fiery red headed Anna screamed rather loudly, "I'm here!"
The blonde pushed her sister off to the side roughly, "hey!?" and began giggling herself, before standing on her feet again.
The red head groaned and stood herself.
Awkward silence fell between the two until the broad blonde man spoke up.
"Ahem!? Helloooo Anna, where do I place your stuff? This isn't as light as it looks ya know."
Anna made an O shape with her lips and turned to look towards her sister.
"Where can I place that?"
Elsa smiled and pointed towards her room. "You can leave it on my bed over there. Just a few more steps and you're there."
"Here I'll guide you, Kristoff!" Anna chimed up, as optimistic as ever.
The blonde man just groaned but kept walking nonetheless.
It had been almost six months since Anna and this blonde man had gotten together. Two months after, they held the wedding.
Anna had opted for a spring wedding outdoors nothing too fancy. It was the most beautiful wedding Elsa had attended. Her sister had decorated everything from balloons to the cake. Anna had even put together a bunch of old photos, from when they were just children. A picture of their mother and father was put, it was almost as if they were there. It was beautifully done.
There also wasn't many people who had attended the wedding. It was Elsa, Harald, Olaf a small orphan child who liked to linger around them. Sven who was a lumberjack and also Kristoffs best friend, Gerda whom was like their mother after the accident, Kai Gerda's beloved, and lastly the priest. It was a small elegant wedding.
Anna had even worn a black pencil skirt and white dress shirt, respecting that she had lain with her beloved already.
It was such a beautiful arrangement.
"Helloooo! Earth to Elsa!" Anna searched her sisters distant eyes, her hands wildly waving in front of the blondes face.
The blonde shook her head, rapidly blinking out of her trance. "Huh, what did you say?"
"I was just saying that it's completely amazing, from your fiance's part, to pay for our tickets!"
Elsa stared at her sister with a raised brow. "What are you talking about?"
"Anna it was a surprise," Kristoff walked in on the conversation, a knowing expression on his face.
The redhead quickly shoved her hands to her mouth.
"Whats going on here?" The blonde held her hand to her chest again, anxiety taking a toll on her.
Anna shook her head feverishly.
"Kristoff?" Her eyes pivoted towards the lumberjack and she eyed him suspiciously.
"Well, there's no going back now, now that Anna here spilled the beans,"
Elsa stared intently at him as a sign for him to continue.
" your fiancé bought everyone you care for and love, plane tickets."
Elsa looked even more confused. "Where are all you guys going?" A hint of fear resided in her tone.
"HE WAS GOING TO SURPRISE YOU BY TAKING US ALL TO HIS HOME COUNTRY SO YOU GUYS COULD GET MARRIED THERE!"
ITS SO ROMANTIC ELSA! Just imagine the beautiful sunset at the Southern Isles!" Anna blurted out her eyes shining brightly.
"Wha-what?" Elsa held her hand to her chest again, for the third time, and sat limp on her couch.
Anna and Kristoff eyed another, did she not know about this?
Elsa sat there motionless, once again her eyes distant.
Had he already planned on taking her? They didn't even have a wedding date yet. What on earth was he thinking?
Wait... If he already bought them the tickets, did that mean he was already making decisions without her? Was he so confident she'd say yes to his marriage proposal? Did he think she was that desperate as to agreeing to his proposal? Had she thunk things through? He had made plans and decisions without her. Without her consent.
"Elsa," Anna approached her older sister, "you OK?"
"I told you telling her was not such a good idea."
Anna frowned, "I mean Elsa, if you really don't want for us to come, we can just stay. If that's what's bothering you, I mean."
The blonde turned to face her younger sister. Why on earth would Elsa not want for her to be there? Was Anna going nuts?
"No, of course it doesn't bother me! I want for you guys to be there for me." She turned to look at Kristoff, "Both of you."
Tears filled her blue eyes, "your the only family I've got."
Anna hugged her sister, and soon Kristoff joined the two, embracing them tightly.
After a long moment, and the hug becoming awkward, Anna spoke up. "Does this mean we can come?"
"Of course!"
It's just that I originally I thought that we were going to wed here, in Arendelle, home... Not in the Southern Isles...
Anna clapped her hands together excitedly, she was happy she would get to go to the Isles.
Kristoff smiled timidly. Something was off about this he didn't know what though.
"Ok so which dress should I use for your wedding?"
For the rest of the evening the three chatted and picked out a dress for Anna to wear.
Harald smiled at the clerk, thanking him as he left the store. Everything was set. He would have to go check in with Elsa about the wedding colors, and he was done with his list. He had sent her friends and family invitations the moment she had said yes. He had paid for their tickets so they could join them, and of course stay a few days, he'd even paid the return package. The cake, would be chocolate flavored he knew that for a fact already, and also he'd picked but the finest champagne for their toast. What else was on the list?
Harald turned left then right before crossing the street and quickly arrived to his car.
He had the place where the ceremony was to be held. He also had his best man, and he knew who was to be her first lady. No brides maids. Hmmm... What was missing? The rings were his parents, it was tradition to being passed down as they wedded.
He slowly drove towards the next exit, to reach his "home".
Pictures of her parents, Anna had agreed to help him on that.
He got to his driveway and speed inside his house. Trying desperately to remember what else he was missing.
All his family and friends were invited. So his own fortune was completed.
What else?
Harald heaved a sigh. The meal was going to be done by his mother personally.
He stepped into his home, nearing the refrigerator he scanned his list titled " wedding list".
He nodded to himself and smiled having completed all that was needed in excellent timing.
His perfect wedding was only a months way.
Hans stared at his brother a look of rage on his features. "Why am I the last one to know about things?"
Harald tried to calm his brother down. "Listen I just want for you to talk to her. I want for you two to be on good terms, do you understand?"
"Harald, with all due respect, I will not accept."
Harald heaved a sigh through his nostrils. Getting Hans to agree was harder than making rocks cry blood. "Listen little brother. Whether you like it or not, Elsa will be my wife. She will be there for family meetings, she will bare my children, and she will be your sister."
Hans snorted. "Her sister punched me in the face!"
"Because you wronged her Hans!" Harald slammed his fist on the nearby table, making Hans jump in place, he hadn't expected that.
The younger of the two stayed in silence for a long while, until Harald turned on his heel and began walking away.
"I advise you to listen, your Majesty, or I'll force you back to camp. And this time I won't be so easy on you."
With that said the older of the two walked out of the room.
Hans growled in rage and crashed his fist against the poor table, causing splinters to burst up and injure his hand.
"Coward..."
