Merida was totally stunned and could not believe what her mother was saying to her when she said that she had to go to Arendale a country she'd never heard of in 3 days and stay a week and Merida had never left Scotland let alone leave the country she had no interest in traveling overseas
' But mum why can't dad go instead he's better at these things than me or even you your Queen here canna you no go instead ...? Asked Merida still stunned
' Merida no enough please I can't go as I have too many things going on here and as the king is unable to attend and your the firstborn well I'm afraid it is down to you to go and also as I said you will have to be on your best behaviour no running wild cussing breaking wind or fighting you will act refined and ladylike as you are representing the entire Dunbroch clan so you have to make a very good first impression as first impressions are very important so if you go their looking regal and ladylike Queen Elsa will be pleased if not well I simply dread to think what will happen 'Elanor said as Merida sighed blowing stray curls out of her eye and folding her arms
' Okay mum well at least I'll huve ma bow wa me I guess so I can practice ma archery and I'll take ma sword too and I'm sure I can find a nice spot to ride Angus and ...Begun Merida But Elanor cut her off
' Oh yes and that is another thing Merida no weapons are allowed on this trip so the sword bos and arrows and Angus stays here till you return home ' Elanor said
' WHIT are you serious mum I canna take my wepons or Angus surly your joking mum I need them " Said Merida not wanting to believe what her mom had just said
' Yes I am serious and what I am saying is that you can not take your weapons or horse and anyway we do not know how Angus would cope on a long journey and on a ship days at sea I am sure their are horses in Arendale and anyway wig you went over their with weapons well the Queen and her people might get the wrong idea and think that you are looking to start a war and not come in peace so you can leave your weapons in your room until you get back and Angus will be taken care off and he will be waiting on your return everything will be quite safe so do not worry " Elanor said shocking Merida
' But mum what will I do say if I'm attacked I need something to defend myself with I need to take something with me ' Merida said stunned
' No Merida I won't say it again you are not taking your weapons and no one will attack you you will have bodyguards with you and anyway you are going their as an Allie and bringing friendship to these people so you will behave regal and ladylike and anyway when you are over their you never know you might meet some nice young man who will take a liking to you so you can not behave yourself and show him your refund and ladylike and not a barbarian warrior who loves fighting and getting dirty all the time ' Elanor Begun But now it was Merida's turn to cut her off
' I know it I just knew it that's you trying ta marry me off again Look mum how many times have we been over this I'm no ready to marry yet aye sure I'll marry in ma own time but no the noo and ony man I will marry will have ya beat me in archery sword fighting and hand to hand combat and be stronger than me and be able to kick my ass but so far no man can do that their all too scared to take me on cos they know I'll beat their asses ' Merida said
' Merida you listen to me ' Elanor Begun But Merida cut her off again
' Look mum we've been over this so many times like since I was 15 it's time to marry and huve wee bairns unite the kingdoms wa another one but mum I danna want that the noo I'll da all that in ma own time no before and ony way I'm happy wa ma position in life the noo canna you be no happy ya fir me instead of trying ya marry me off Aye I'll marry one day but I'll marry when I'm ready and i will be in a few years no the noo ' Merida said
' I know tha but I just don't want you left behind without a husband and I was married at your age and so were your grandparents and also when you go to Arendale you really must try and talk properly too ' Elanor said stunning Merida
' Whit da you mean talk proper I da talk proper nothing wrang wa the way I talk ' Said Merida a bit shocked placing her hand on her chest
' Well perhaps you might think you talk proper but in a forgin country like Norway you really must try and loose that Scottish slang it sounds So course and Queen Elsa and princess Anna won't understand a single word you say and I am Scottish too and I don't use slang I talk proper ' Elanor said in a snobby tone shocking Merida
' Slang I Danna ken whit ya mean ' Said Merida confused scratching her head
' Exactly that now what you should say is I do not know what you mean now that is proper ladylike not the way you say it oh dear Merida I'm afraid you picked up that bad slang from your dad and also now the triplets are coping you now ' Elanor said sighing
' Aye well that da that I canna help that can I and ony way I da talk proper I'm no gonna put on ony posh accents and pretend ta be so,woke I'm no wa me whit ye see is whit ye get I Danna care they can all take me as I am ' Merida said firmly making a face and crossing her arms again and making Elanor roll her eyes and tut a bit as she knew turning Merida into a fine grand lady would be one very hard Job as Merida was not going to play along with her
' So is that all ye wanted to see me fir then or isntheir ony thing else ye want me fir ...? Asked Merida still in a bad mood
' Yes for just now but please listen dear to what I just said Merida I know I may sound a bit harsh at times but you do know I am doing this because I do love you and I only want the best for you " Elanor said as Merida only sighed as she mumbled fine and left the room in a bad mood leaving Elanor by herself
Elanor just sighed too knowing how stubborn Merida was she got that from her as Elanor could be very stubborn at times too and now her daughter was the same
' I dany beleive it I just dany beleive it she's at it again why can't she just leave me alone ' Merida said in a mood as she came back outside where she seen the triplets still sitting on the grass and they looked up
' Whits wrang sis..? Asked one of the boys
' Mum that's whits wrang she's meddling in ma life grrrr ' Said Merida growling a bit
' So whits she done noo then ..? Asked another triplet
' Whits she no done Hamish oh na she's just gonna send me to some place called Arendale or something a place iv never heard off apparently it's in a country called Norway and apparently iv ta go and meet their new Queen she wants to see dad but as he's away on business soon iv ta go instead as I'm the firstborn ' Said Merida now sitting on the grass next to her brothers
' Oh wow so yet gonna be leavin Scotland then how long fir and can we come ..? Asked the last triplet
' Na na I'm no leaving fir ever just fir a week I'll be back soon so Danna worry and fraud no you canna come yet all too wee but I'll bring you back a present so Danna worry but I'll tell ye something it will be worst week of ma life I bet but ye no heard the worst of it laddies wait till ye hear this one ' Said Merida explaining to the boys about not being allowed to take her we-OJ's or Angus and the triplets were stunned as much as she was
' So whit ya gonna da their wa na weapons or horse then sis still gonna go ..? Asked one of the boys
' Aye I need ya keep mum aff ma back But Danna worry I huve ideas so Danna let on you three alright ' As Merida told the boys her plan and all 3 nodded in agreement as they thought secrets were so cool
Later that night everyone was all in the banqueting hall and as usual it was a very loud and messy affair as no one had any table manners apart from Elanor
The triplets were in trouble for having a huge food fight and Merida joined in and had food down her dress around her mouth and in her hair but she didn't care and now she was listening to her dad telling one of his wild crazy stories as she ripped apart a chicken leg with her teeth between slurping in wine
' Aye so I said to him away and bile yer heid ye eejit ya canna beat me and I'm telling ye all he must have done a big shite in his undies cos he wis reeking ' Fergus said laughing loudly between chewing his own food and drinking wine and burping loudly and he had food stuck in his beard but he didn't care and soon another loud noise was heard that made the triplets giggle and horrified Elanor
' Who wis that Merida ...? Asked Fergus as Merida giggled a bit
' Aye sorry dad I cudnna help it it just came oot before I could stop it ' Merida said laughing
' Merida just farted and it's boffing " Laughed one of the triplets
' Well I canna help it just came and ony way ye know whit they say better oot than in and iv heard you 3 fart too ' Said Merida laughing and she had food on her chin now as she ripped more meat off her chicken leg with her teeth and chewed it with her mouth open before taking another gulp of wine and banging on the table with her knife and telling ' More food over here '
Merida had a very big appetite and really loved her food she could finish a 7 course banquet even but she stayed super slim and never gained an ounce she was very lucky that way and also she had no table manners what's so ever as she burped loudly and broke wind and did not even say pardon me instead she just laughed loudly and quite often she just reached across the table to get something without saying excuse me and if she knocked something over she'd just say oops instead of sorry Elanor was horrified by her daughters terrible table habits and she really hoped she'd learn so,e kind of manners I'm Arendale
' Dad dad. tell us a story aboot the big bear make it scary ' Said one of the triplets
' Na tell us aboot when you were a wee laddie ' Said another triplet
' Will you pair whishet and let dad talk ' said Merida trying to quite 2 of her brothers
' Go on tell us whitbye want dad we love all yer stories ' Merida said smiling
' Och a;right then noo let me see whit will I tell ye ' Said Fergus as Merida and the triplets gathers round and listens closely and made Elanor roll her eyes yet again as Merida took a big gulp of wine and burped loudly and again not saying pardon me and also making her dad and the triplets laugh as they thought it was hilarious when Merida did that and the triplets often copied her making Merida and Fergus laugh much to the horror of Elanor who thought it was disgusting
well that's that chappy done more to come
