CHAPTER 2
Elsa was awake bright and early the next morn looking out over the village of Arendelle, the people were bustling about going about their days work in happy enjoyment. Children were participating in a snowball fight Elsa giggled to herself once she seen Anna had conquered Kristoff to the sport.
"Good Mornin' Your highness!" The gentle yet always cheerful voice of Olaf came.
"Good Morn to you as well Olaf." Elsa smiled back as Olaf struggled to shimmy up to sit on the ledge of the balcony.
"Why aren't you out enjoying the snow?"He questioned innocent tone in his voice.
"I am waiting for the arrival of Prince Hans of The Southern Isles." She said returning her attention of the harbor.
"Oh." Olaf said stretching out the word.
"Yes, he should be here any moment." Elsa said then looked out seeing the moving cloud like sails on the ships heading towards the docks.
"And, there he is." She looked to Olaf helping him down then walking down the corridor heels making a small clicking sound.
the echos in the hall mimicked the thoughts in her mind the sound matched up with her beating heart, worry for her sister and kingdom started to rise, what is the betrayal happened again? what is something much worse happen? The what ifs piled up but son as she stepped into her throne room where her palace guards stood at attention facing the royal guards of the Southern Isles.
"Your majesty the prisoner you have requested has been brought here and placed in the royal dungeon."
Elsa raised one slender eyebrow, "At whose request was it to send him there?"
"Your royal advisor madam."
Elsa sighed Axel Frigate was her appointed advisor once the entire mess with the treason and what not occurred, he was a young fellow about Elsa's age but sometimes he tended to overstep his boundaries this was one of those times.
"Very well you are dismissed, inform your king I am ever grateful for his allowance of over turn in his command." The royal guards saluted her turned and marched off.
Elsa looked at her own guards,released them back to their posts then walking down the long flight of stairs to the cold and bitter dungeon, a place she herself had been locked in but a few months ago the memories still haunted her.
"Prince Hans." She said to the man in a crumpled heap nothing like the charismatic man she met not to long ago.
He looked up at her his green eyes meeting her cold blue ones. Before another word was spoken Hans quickly bowed down to the Queen swearing up most allegiance to her and repeatedly thanking her for the second chance. Elsa calmly let him finish then held up a silencing hand.
"Y-Your majesty what is it you wish to do with me." He kept his eyes lowered trying to keep the charming prince facade up.
"You're not fooling any one here Prince Hans, only yourself." Elsa said sternly causing him to looking down in,almost, shame.
"I'm a changed man Queen Elsa I-"
"One does not change in a few months Hans." Elsa interrupted same stern tone, "You need to prove your self a changed man or its back to whatever punishment your brothers had in store for you."
Hans paused thinking for a moment then nodded ever so slightly, "What is it your Majesty has in mind?"
"You must show three things, Humility, Generosity and Genuineness. These are he three things of a kind heart."
"When will I know when these tasks are finished?"
"You will not know a kind person does not know when they do good deeds they only do them out of habit, but once you do one hundred acts of kindness to others and truly mean them then you may return to your life."
"So, I'm your servant?"
"No, your actions must come from you and you alone."
Hans nodded once more thinking how he could easily get out of this as he fooled everyone the first time he could do it again, "As you wish, your highness."
Elsa nodded once more then turned sharply on her heels and went back to the royal dining room where breakfast was being prepared on the table.
Soon the heavy,still sleepy, foot steps on Anna were heard soon she emerged hair in a loose french braid sticking out on all ends, "Good morning Anna." Elsa giggled slightly, "Mornin'...Mornin' Elsa." Anna grinned sheepishly at the elder sister as she flopped down into her chair her rose colored gown flittering about her like petals of a flower.
"Good sleep I presume?" Elsa smirke taking a bite of the fresh Goose eggs fried over easy, to her pleasure.
"Oh yeah really good." Anna stopped taking a moment to swallow the ham she was stuffing her face with.
Elsa rolled her eyes at her sisters manners, "Hans arrived today ." she said distantly as if it was an everyday event.
"And?" Anna stretching out the word. "He has agreed the to punishment I set for him."
"I dunno Elsa...something doesn't sound right..."
" Anna we must learn to have limited trust, Remember keep your friends close, Enemies closer."
"Yeah well I don't want that slippery no good any where near me!" Anna pouted slightly eating more ham.
Elsa chuckled shaking her head returning to her cold growing breakfast.
"Elsa?"
"Yes Anna?"
"Why did you stay away from me all those years all of a sudden?"
Elsa blinked at her and sighed, "Well I suppose it is time you knew..."
