"Your Highness. Princess Elsa is quite a charming young woman, is she not?" A man in a carriage with the arriving prince spoke finely.
"She very much is. Her beauty has fascinated many gentleman across the globe and if she becomes my bride to be, I might as well be the luckiest man on earth!" Erik replied.
"And not to mention her talent for singing! She's quite a jewel!"
"Indeed, sire!" The man said to the prince. "But what about her younger sister, Princess Anna? She's very pretty but she's quite a child!"
"Not to worry, Lawrence! We will only be dealing with Princess Elsa! She will be the future Queen of my heart!"
"But sire... Maybe you're forgetting her other suitors." Lawrence adds.
"Like Mahala, the crowned prince of India. Or Prince Edmund of Britain."
"There's Prince Mikael too... But I am the most gorgeous one!"
"Indeed you are, your highness!"
Prince Erik of Denmark was a snobby prince who eventually fell head over heels for Elsa since their first meeting. And didn't he deserve the best? Elsa disliked him and would rather not eat for three days straight than spend two hours entertaining him. He tried his best to please her by offering precious jewels, flowers and exquisite chocolate. Elsa always kindly accepted these gifts but secretly sold them and donated the money to charity. As for the chocolate, it's still a mystery that Anna hasn't gained any weight after being spoiled by her sister.
Prince Erik was the kind of prince that didn't like being told what to do. He did everything his way and wanted literally the best. Elsa didn't exactly like that. He was the same age as Elsa but was a few months older. The youngest son of the King of Denmark and the younger brother of Prince Philipp, the heir to the throne. He wasn't at all interested in knowing more about The princess. He even disliked her sister so he was definitely not Elsa's type. He was obnoxious and quite violent which did not impress Elsa one bit.
"We're here, Your Highness!" Announced Lawrence.
Prince Erik went out of his carriage and stepped inside the palace but found no sign of Elsa except her younger sister Anna.
"Erik! Hi!" Anna said.
Erik rolled her eyes and walked past her.
"Where is Princess Elsa?" He asked impatiently.
"I think she's still in her room." Anna informed.
"She's never this late-"
"Yes, yes. I'll be in the gardens." Erik interrupted and left
Anna went upstairs, mumbling something under her breath and she made her way to Elsa's door.
Before knocking, she hesitated for a while but knocked anyway.
"Uh... Elsa?" Anna asked awkwardly.
"That Erik guy is here!"
No reply.
"Elsa..." Anna called again.
"Ooookay..."
Anna turned her heel and went back down to spend another day with herself.
Gerda was already getting slightly worried that Elsa was taking so much time in her room. She found Prince Erik waiting almost too patiently for a woman who wasn't usually more than a single second late.
Prince Erik was just staring at the roses that he did not notice the trail of tied blankets hidden deep behind the bushes.
