p2: Escape
A pair of blue tired eyes focused on the reflection in the mirror. After she was married to the Prince of The Southern Isle, her body, her face were covered with several bruises. She has no longer had the power to rule Arendelle as its Queen after Prince Hans was officially crowned King. Gerda was helping the Queen with her hair, "if i may ask, how are my subjects?"
Gerda was startled, "they..."
"Just tell me ...it's okay"
She softened her eyes, "they...suffered because the government tax had rise double than the previous, your highness"
"Is there more?" A sad tone was used by the Queen.
"The one who failed to pay tax was threatened by the guards to be in prison , your highness"
The Queen turned to the window, "any news about me?" The royal maid hesitated. Queen Anna put her hand on hers, "it's okay...i need to know...i promise no harm shall fall upon you"
Gerda nodded, "they...talked about how cruel you are for agreeing with such burdening new rule towards them...they wondered if you still love them...your subject" the Queen sigh sadly, "your highness" Gerda got onto her knees causing the Queen to widen her eyes, "please talk some sense towards his majesty"
"Gerda...please stand"
"No...my family have failed to pay the tax...they were threatened.. if they didn't pay it this friday" she looked at the Queen with begging eyes, "please...help my family"
The Queen stood, "i wish i could...but, i have no power to stop my husband" she walked out from the room, "no one is on my side now..." she left the maid on her own.
Queen Anna's pov
My poor poor subjects...what power do i have to help you? If only i know how to stop him. I opened the door to the library and went to the history books. It was all my fault...i was too naive...i was too hungry of a thing called true love . I was blinded by it.
My knees bent as i can no longer support myself...what should i do? Mom... dad...
Pak!
I was startled. What was that? A book fell in front of me. I know this book...the book that my mom read to me very long ago. The ice Queen...i widened my eyes...maybe she can help me yes! That's it! I need to go to the North Mountain. She will be on my side. I turned to the 8th page. A drawing of the snow Queen cryiny with her brother...i hope...there was still love for Arendelle despite their hate to you, your highness.
I closed the book and went to the room when i was young. I need to get out from here...but how? I need to plot. I went under my bed only to found they money i kept for emergencies. I took it and felt the weight, "well this would do"
I opened my old cupboard to take a small backpack. Now, i need a dress for travelling and a pair of boots. Oouh i don't have boots. I returned to my-our room and put on a dull dress not to represent me as royal or something. I took a cloak too to cover my face. I have to do this for Arendelle.
I turned around only to see someone so familliar looking at me. He looked so blue? Out of curiousity, i followed him until suddenly he disappeared in the library at a book shelf. One book had won my attention. Golden coloured but ancient looking, i pulled to take it but then the shelves moved revealing a secret passageway, "oh my, it's a button to open this secret passageway" i said.
I'm thinking this is the only escape i could get for now. Without any hesitation, i walked inside and got startled as the shelves closed leaving me in darkness. Suddenly a fireball came floating to me as if wanting me to follow it. I did.
I was so grateful that it lead me to the abandoned side of the castle. I saw a boat and quickly got into it. I had to row this thing myself then...well how hard could it be?
" Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream"
An adventure ahead...
