A/N: Thanks for the reviews! I honestly wasn't expecting a single one! Anyway, on with the chapter…

Elsa stretched out her arms and yawned. It was close to midday, she should have been awake hours ago. Elsa sighed and sat up, swinging her legs over the side of the bed. I better get to the study… Elsa thought. Suddenly, like a hammer, all the memories of earlier in the morning hit her. She clutched her head, knowing without a doubt that ice was already creeping through the bedroom and sliding over the floor before slowly snaking up the walls. How could she be so stupid? Elsa groaned loudly and sat up. "I might as well talk to him." She muttered under her breath.

An hour or so later, Elsa was walking out of her room, shutting and locking the door behind her, she didn't feel as safe with Hans around. As she turned the corner of the corridor, Hans stepped out in front of her. "Queen Elsa." He nodded curtly at her before falling into step beside her. "So, have you noticed?" He asked, smirking at her.
Elsa didn't look at him, choosing instead to stare at a fixed point on the wall in front of her, hardly blinking. "What was I supposed to notice?" She asked, walking faster by the step. Hans stopped in his tracks. "You don't know?" He frowned. "Elsa, look at your left hand." Elsa stared at him, convinced that he had lost his mind. "What about my hand?" Hans pointed to it, his face completely void of all expression. Elsa followed his gaze to her fourth finger.

Elsa froze. There was a silver and gold ring on her finger. It glinted in the sunlight reflecting through the window. "No." She whispered. "No, this is not possible." Her hands were trembling, ice beginning to spread on the floor, snow beginning to fall. "No. No. This cannot be legally binding, no!" "THIS IS YOUR FAULT, HOW DARE YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ME TO GET WHAT YOU WANT?!" Elsa screamed at him, losing even a pretence of calmness. Hans held up his hands in denial and took a step back. "Elsa, this wasn't my fault. I didn't know until after I left your-"
Elsa cut him off. "Don't mention that!" She hissed.
Hans sighed and started again. " I only noticed it around half an hour after I woke up. I assumed you knew and that was why you were so angry."
Elsa rolled her eyes. "No, I was angry because of how we awoke."
Hans interrupted her. "We didn't do anything."
Elsa narrowed her eyes. "How do you know?"
Hans folded his arms. "I remember part of last night. We went straight to sleep, nothing happened inbetween us."
Elsa raised one eyebrow. "And I believe you, because?"
Hans shifted his position. "You should believe me because it is the truth." Elsa nodded and turned to walk towards the library. "Thank you for being honest."
Hans laughed mirthlessly. "Well, you know what they tell you in jail. Honesty is the best policy." Elsa turned around to him. "Why are you here anyway?"
Hans shook his head. "I can't tell you."
"Arendelle is my country!" Elsa demanded. "I have a right to know what business you have here!"
Hans started to walk away. "Queen Elsa, with all due respect, I'd prefer it if you began to figure out how we can out of this marriage, as I assure you, I want to be in it even less than you do." He was almost out of view when Elsa called out to him. "Hans?"
"Yes?" He asked. Elsa twisted her hands together and looked at her feet before looking back up and meeting his eyes with hers. "Please don't tell Anna. Or Kristoff. Or, in fact, anyone."
Hans smirked. "Wouldn't dream of it." Elsa nodded as a thank you before rushing into the enormous library. Upon reaching it, she locked the door and sank down into a chair, eyeing the mountainous bookshelves that stood in front of her. Working this problem out was going to be trickier than she thought.

Anna had hold of Kristoff's hand. "Come on Kristoff! I want to show you something!" Kristoff laughed and ran with her. Anna suddenly stopped outside the library and attempted to push open the door. It wouldn't budge. "Huh." Anna glared at it before running at it and attempting to hit it with her shoulder. Before she could touch the door, she felt arms lift her up. Kristoff rolled his eyes at her and grinned. "Anna, don't run into doors. I can open them for you." He set her down to the side before attempting to twist the handle and push the door open. It wouldn't move for him either. "Sorry, Anna, Elsa or one of the staff must have locked it."
Anna sighed. "Kai said he'd unlocked it for me. Oh, well. I'll show you later. Have you seen Olaf around?"
Kristoff shook his head. "Not since he interrupted us when we were kissing." He scowled and Anna laughed. "It's only Olaf. He's basically an overexcited ten year old who just happens to be made out of snow."
Kristoff chuckled at her analysis. "If you say so."
