Author's notes
Hello guys! My name is Didjey Disantales and I am a professional critic. I am always ready to read your stories and give reviews of them if you want. So, if you are interested, just PM me. Now, for the story. First of all, I named main hero after myself not because I am selfish, certainly not because I feel myself in his place. As for his appearance, character and age- there are not copy of myself, neither they are the atributes I would like to have. I am perfectly comfortable with my own looks, and although being even more handsome wouldn't be bad, I still prefer my real look. Anyway, at first I wanted to stop writing this story but thanks to 1 follower (thank you!) I decided to continue. So, please if you have a spare minute, give a review (both bad and good will be accepted with open arms) or at least click a follow button. You will definitely make me happy. So, let's start, shall we?
Chapter 2.
Change in plan
When The Royal Ship of Lancelot sailed away towards Arendelle, Gaspar sighed. He was surprised by Didjey Disantales's plan and even felt irritated by it. He clearly felt Didjey was making unwise decision, but changing his mind is even more difficult than changing penguin's habitat. After few minutes of struggle, he had to give up. Now, when King finally left, Gaspar was allowed to read the letter from Prince Hans. Didjey did not tell his advisor about the contents of the letter, and naturally the latter was curious. So, he asked to read the letter and since D.D. always allowed him to do that, his request was granted again, albeit only after his leave. Gaspar thought about his relationship with King and couldn't feel any more prouder. After all, he was the only one apart from Hans to call King by his name. He could even insult him and still get free without a scratch or a warning. And, of course, reading letters was also a thing only llowed to the trusted servant, who was like a father to Didjey.
Gaspar read the letter few times before starting thinking. Why would Hans ask Didjey to come? After what he did? How could Didjey forgive him? Hans was his best friend, his only friend for that matter, but still? Why? What strange happened in Arendelle? And how could Hans have courage to ask him to come?
All these questions were swarming inside Gaspar's head. Unfortunately, there were no answers to satisfy these questions. Deciding that sleep will help forget these annoying questions, he went to sleep...
12 Hours later...
Gaspar was not a heavy sleeper, but this time he took a really long nap. So, when he saw that it was already after midnight, he jumped out of his bed faster than a kangaroo. Everyone in the castle was sleeping, apart from him. He decided to have post-midnight walk in the gardens. When he got there, uneasy feeling crept to him, but he shrugged it off. After all, who would be wandering in the garden after midnight?
A thief, that's who-said his inner voice.
Why would he come to try and steal in the CASTLE? Even storming Ancient Egyptian Tombs would be easier than the castle...-he told his voice.-Anyway, just shut up, okay?
Then he heard it again. He started panicking and looking around with fear. Suddenly someone tapped his shoulder from behind. Gaspar jumped even higher than his king did yesterday. A high-pitched voice echoed through the garden
-You have got mail!-said a boy in his late teens. He sneered upon seeing Gaspar hugging a nearby tree, gripping with fear. Gaspar undertood how embarassing he looked and decided to make that boy pay.
-I don't know what you are doing here at such late hour in the CASTLE. but I am sure that charging you with treason will be appropriate. Now it was turn of the boy to get scared. His face turned white and he fell on his knees, begging Gaspar to change his mind.
-Please, please, sir, I am sorry. I came here to give you an important letter and got hungry. I was looking for the kitchen but couldn't find it so decided to go and find something edible to eat in the garden. I am sorry sir, please don't kill me!- mail boy babbled. Gaspar smiled and replied.
-Okay. this time I will reconsider my decision but next time bring the letters during the day so the staff may help you find the kitchen. Now, about this letter, give it to me and you are free.
The boy gave it to him, still shaking pretty violently and before the latter could thank him, he ran away. Gaspar sighed. After all, even though D.D. did so much to Lancelot and people were grateful to him, 13 years without being seen or heard was enough to spread the rumours around. Few citizens thought he was young and handsome, few ugly. Others-middle-aged man with freckles and wrinkles and grey hair. There were many of those who imagined their king as a very old man, probably in his 70s, with bald head and a walking cane. There were even those who thought king was dead for a long time, but the Council didn't want people to know about it and thus was hiding this horrible truth. 13 years... Gaspar knew how much Didjey hated this number. All terrible things that happened to the monarch was somehow involved with this number. He felt sorry for the king who had a terrible fate...
Gaspar then banged into the door of his room, breaking train of thoughts. He was surprised to see himself here but guessed it were his reflexes which guided him to his room. Opening the door, he slid inside and went immediately to his study desk. Lighting the candle, he was ready to read this "important letter". When he looked at the seal, he gasped. It was Royal Seal of Southern Isles. And it was not the end-there was a number, indicating who was the writer of the letter. Number 13 was imprinted on the letter with bright red colour. It was almot frightening. "Again this number!"-groaned Gaspar. He then proceeded to open the letter carefully. Even though the letter was addressed to Disantales, Gaspar had an authorisation to read the letter in desperate measures. "Hopefully this situation is desperate enough or the King will be eating me on a banquet!"-thought Gaspar and started reading the letter. The more and more he was reading the letter, more and more he was gasping, breathing heavily and even panting. It was Hans' letter, alright. And he was explaining everything he had done during the coronation and after it. His marriage proposal, Queen's outburst leading to an eternal winter, her sister's reckless rescue mission, his own successful one, saving the Queen in process, his betrayal of Anna, then his antics afterwards including his attempt to kill the Queen, and finally, Anna's true love towards Elsa that saved her and plunged Hans into the darkness. After that, Hans explained that he was sent back to the Southern Isles and how he was treated upon the return by his ruthless brothers. He also wrote in his letter about his trial that is bound to happen in few months. At the end, Hans asked his friend to forgive him. He doesn't want to involve Didjey into this mess, so he asked D.D. not to come on his trial, not to defend him, and just stay out of it. He also wrote with big, fat letters this sentence:... And, whatever you are doing now, DO NOT COME TO ARENDELLE. I REPEAT, DO NOT GO THERE. IF THEY FIND OUT ABOUT YOU, SOMETHING TERRIBLE WILL HAPPEN. HER POWERS ARE TOO TRONG TO HANDLE! REMEMBER THAT! I HOPE THAT YOU ARE NOT THERE ALREADY, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT YOU GETTING HURT. I ALREADY DID ENOUGH TO PUT SHAME ON MYSELF AND I DON'T WANT YOU TO SUFFER THE SAME FATE...
When Gaspar finished reading the letter, he raised his eyes. His expression was pure shock. He couldn't believe what just happened. Didjey Disantales' best friend, his only friend, tried to kill someone he valued so much for so long, even without his knowledge. This thought brought new ones, including the one about trolls. He cursed them for erasing memories. Not Anna's one. No, that day not only her memories were changed but 3 other children had suffered the same gruelling fate. Hans, Elsa and Didjey were all subject of Grand Pabbies' spells and their memories were changed, destroyed or forgotten for indefinite amount of time. And now, he knew that he had to tell Didjey everything. Grand Pabbie warned him not to do it, but it was important. Surely, having his original memories return would be painful but there was no other choice. Gaspar had to save his King. And the only way to do that was to follow him into Arendelle. So, without waiting a single minute, he started his preparations. It would be a LONG way to go, but he knew it had to be done, in order to save his King from something horrible.
Hey guys! Sorry for small chapter. I really want to write long chapters but I am a critic, not a writer, so I am moody about writing. Sometimes I can be interested in writing, sometimes-not. That's why I write chapters real slow. I don't want you guys waiting for the story though, so I am writing small chapters so you could enjoy the story. Thanks again to my ingle follower! You inspired me to continue! By the way, I am sure you are intrigued to find out that Grand Pabbie also changed the memories of our characters as well. Da-da-da-dam! Anyway tune in to find out!
