When I first saw Arendelle from my ship it was beautiful. The castle is surrounded by a large fjord and it is a construction masterpiece. Our boat was docked at the fjord and when I got off the boat there was a large group of people surrounding the front gate of the castle which hadn't opened yet. I saw a short old man walk past with two large bodyguards. He was talking menacingly to them.
"Ah, Arendelle, our most mysterious trade partner. Open those gates so I may unlock your secrets and exploit your riches." He said. I felt a little awkward hearing that. And what secrets did he mean?
The old man then said catching himself "Did I just say that out loud?"
He walked away with his bodyguards and two more people who seemed to know each other from a previous gathering were talking about Arendelle.
"Oh, me sore eyes can't wait to see the Queen and the Princess. I bet they're absolutely lovely." The person seemed to be Irish
"I bet they are beautiful." The other person said back.
"I have heard that they are beautiful," someone said from right behind me. So close behind me that it shocked me. I turned around quickly and saw the soldier that my brother assigned to come with me here. I hadn't talked to him at all throughout the voyage to Arendelle and I had intended to try and stay away from him as much as possible.
"Hello," I said awkwardly.
"My name is Alfred and I am meant to be your guard!" He looked at me sternly. "And you left the boat without me!"
"I have a brother named Alfred." I changed the subject.
"I know it is a common Southern Isles name," He told me. I wouldn't know since I don't talk to anyone outside of my family and I never go outside my castle.
"I am meant to be independent on this trip and find my own place." I told him.
"And your big brother wants you to behave and not make any mistakes." He told me "And if someone wants to kill you, you need to be able to have someone to fight for you."
"I was trained by my father in the art of combat. I can sword fight and use a crossbow." I told him
"Compared to your brothers you are awful at fighting."
"You are only saying that because you are employed by them."
He stood there in silence for a second and glared at me. I could tell already that he doesn't like me and probably didn't want to come with me in the first place.
"When are the gates going to open?" I asked impatiently trying to break the silence
"Whenever the queen is ready to open them." He told me "However who knows how long that would take."
"Why?"
"Because the gates haven't opened for years, and we don't know why."
That is probably why the old person was talking about unlocking Arendelle's secrets. I told Alfred that I needed to get my horse Sitron out of the boat and he followed me there. When I got Sitron off the boat I decided that it was best that I get away from Alfred as quickly as possible so I got on Sitron. I then rode away as quickly as possible from Alfred. I really wanted to explore Arendelle.
"Come Back. I AM MEANT TO GUARD YOU!" I heard Alfred yell from a distance.
"Ha Ha he can't stop me now." I laughed as I rode Sitron. But then I realised that my horse was going pretty fast. "Slow down Sitron." I said to him. But he did not slow down. And soon I was riding through the city of Arendelle with a horse that I could not slow down.
"Get out of the way!" I yelled at people who were walking in the streets. I heard the people of Arendelle screaming and shouting and stopping their children from wandering in front of the horse. I had managed to get through the city and was back at the fjord but at the opposite end from where I began so there was no risk of literally running into Alfred. I tried to pull the reins on the horse because I didn't want to end up riding into the water but then I saw a girl running straight in our direction wearing a green dress and she had strawberry blonde hair. She was singing:
"I KNOW IT ALL ENDS TOMORROW, SO IT HAS TO BE TODAY! 'CAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER. . . FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER! NOTHING'S IN MY WAY!"
Well I guess it was time to prove her wrong as Sitron slammed straight into her. This collision managed to stop Sitron. The girl fell down in a small wooden boat which was tipping off of the nearby dock. But just then Sitron slammed his hoof into the boat and steadied it.
"Hey!" The girl said angrily.
"I'm so sorry. Are you hurt?" I asked her. The girl looked up at me for the first time.
"Hey. I-ya, no. No. I'm okay." She said awkwardly.
"Are you sure?" I asked her. From her stuttery speech it seemed like she wasn't.
"Yeah, I just wasn't looking where I was going. But I'm okay" she responded. I got off Sitron and stepped into the boat to help her up. "I'm great actually." She continued
"Oh, thank goodness." I held out my hand to help her up and our eyes met each other. I helped her get to her feet. I decided to finally introduce myself to this girl.
"Prince Hans of the Southern Isles." I bowed towards her.
"Princess Anna of Arendelle." She curtsied towards me.
"Princess..?" I said surprised. This meant the gates had opened. I also couldn't believe I was in front of the princess of Arendelle. She was going to be crowned as queen today and I just ran into her with my horse! But this could be the chance that my brother talked about before I left referring to how I could marry a princess who isn't thirteenth in line to the throne and instead has an actual chance of having influence in this world. "My lady." I said respectively and I bowed.
My horse is stupid as you have probably already picked up on from before. So when I bowed Sitron bowed which resulted in his hoof going off the boat. The boat rocked backwards and I fell on top of Anna. It was really uncomfortable.
"Hi again." She made it even more awkward. Sitron luckily put his hoof back on the boat.
"Oh boy." I exasperated.
"Ha. This is awkward. Not you're awkward, but just because we're I'm awkward. You're gorgeous." She paused for a second and realised what she said and remarked "Wait, what?"
I couldn't believe that she considered my appearance as gorgeous. "I'd like to formally apologize for hitting the Princess of Arendelle with my horse...and for every moment after." I said. I thought it would be appropriate considering how uncomfortable this whole situation is.
"No. No-no. It's fine. I'm not THAT Princess. I mean, if you'd hit my sister Elsa, that would be- yeash! 'Cuz, you know..." she stopped talking and patted Sitron "Hello. But, lucky you, it's-it's just me." This girl has worse social skills than I do.
In the distance bells rung in the distance. This meant the coronation was going to begin. Anna then realised something and said "...The bells. The coronation. I-I-I better go. I have to...I better go." She walked away, waved at me and said "Bye!"
I waved back at her and then Sitron does to. But then because of his hoof not being on the boat anymore it tips and I fall into the water. As I am in the water, which doesn't feel too bad actually as it is summer, I look at Anna. She sure was beautiful. She may not be the first heir to the throne but it might be the closest I ever get.
