Chapter 1

I sat in my dad's office looking over documents with a light snow falling on my shoulders. It is the end of Summer here in Arendelle. I can't believe it's been a whole month since 'the frozen summer' I thought to myself.

A heard the rattle of a carriage in the courtyard and smiled to myself. Anna back from her picnic with Kristoff. "Hi! I'm Olaf," said the cheery snowman. What? I sped to the office window overlooking the courtyard. In the courtyard was not one of our grand carriages. It was nevertheless grand, but it was not ours.I ran downstairs, oh no. Either someone has arrived undeclared or I've forgotten, again. When I arrived at the doors I took a moment to regain my composure, and then I signalled for the guards to open the doors.

I strode to the carriage confidently, absentmindedly playing with my white braid. There was someone at the carriage with Olaf and Sven. When I arrived at the carriage he turned and just stared at me. I stared right back.

He was beautiful. He had dark brown hair that was combed into place with an expert's hand, a strong jawline, soft pink lips and the mouth slightly ajar. There is something about his eyes that was familiar… I can't quite put my finger on it. He regained his composure and bowed "Queen Elsa, I'm Prince William, of the southern isles-" he began but I interrupted "I knew there was something familiar about you!"

"I think it best you leave," I said turning on my heel, but he grabbed my arm.

"Please wait, I'm here as an apology from my kingdom, for my brothers actions."

"Is that so? And how do you propose to apologise."

"By helping out your kingdom in any way possible for the next two months."

"So you decided to come unannounced?"

"I sent a letter."

"The letter was not received."

"We got a reply from your secretary."

"Olaf."

"I'm sorry, I did not receive the letter and the kingdom will be doing just fine without your help. You can stay tonight but you should leave tomorrow."

"Fine," he said obviously beat. "But," he said grabbing my hands "I cannot go without having a dinner with you." Oh dear, it was going to be like that. "I appreciate the offer but-" it was his turn to interrupt "One dinner and I won't be here tomorrow when you wake up." Now that was an offer I just couldn't decline, the sooner there wasn't any relations to Hans here the better. "Okay. I accept." I said as courteously as possible. "I am much obliged."

"My secretary will show you to your room." I turned and started walking away "Olaf!" I called.
