I hoped you all liked the little encounter between the two. I assure you that Vergil is still cold, he just feels at ease with Elsa, as she is with him. Will Vergil return to Arendelle after he leaves or not? Will he return for Elsa? In the next chapter, All of Arendelle will get a glimpse as to why he is dubbed the Dark Slayer. And a very uninvited guest comes to crash the party. This also M-rated because we have Vergil here and when there's Vergil there's always blood and gore. Also, I may include lemons later on but not now, we have some demon-slaying to do before we have that. Read and Review please. Every review helps
Chapter Four – A Day With The Queen, A Day With The Devil
"Vergil..."
Elsa woke up, for the first time in a long time, even after her sister and hers reunion, feeling happy. Today was Arendelle's celebration, today was a very joyous day, today was the day she gets to see Vergil again. Vergil, Elsa dreamt about him. She sat up on her bed and wiped away the sleep in her eyes as she smiled. She hadn't been able to get the cold man out of her mind. Vergil was just too much for her.
Today was the day he would come to the festival, but she felt afraid. Afraid of what he will think if she showed him her powers. Before the Great Freeze, she treated her powers like a curse, now she now understood that it was a gift. Only love was the answer. Even with that, Elsa still feared of his reaction towards her if she showed her ability. The mere thought of Vergil's eyes showing disgust and hate made her heart clench and drop to deepest hole possible.
Even if the possibilities of Vergil hating her were great, Elsa had to do it. Everyone wanted to see her magic and she promised them she would. With a heavy sigh, she got out of bed and got dressed. 'What will Vergil think of me? What will he do when he sees my power? What if doesn't come back to Arendelle, doesn't come back to me?' Elsa thought as a tear slowly dripped from her eyes.
The thought of him leaving her was too unbearable. What if he did leave her? What if he never came back? It was too much for her and Elsa broke down sobbing not knowing that Anna was at the door.
Anna heard her sister's crying and immediately checked up on her.
"Elsa? Elsa, is everything all right?" Anna asked warmly as she crouched down to her sister. Anna sensed that Elsa was acting suspiciously since the past two days. At first, she was flustered, then she was smiling like a lunatic and now she was acting like this, crying like there's no tomorrow.
Elsa shook her head as she cried in her sister's shoulder. Anna had no idea what had caused this and sighed as she wrapped Elsa in a comforting hug.
"Come on, Elsa. Talk to me. What happened?" Anna asked her sister softly fearing that any sudden moves could set Elsa off again.
"Anna, w-what if h-he l-l-leaves me? I-I can't bear i-it. I-I just can't." Elsa sobbed in her sister's shoulder. Anna was now curious of what the hell Elsa was talking about. Who was he? And why was Elsa crying over him?
"Elsa, who is he?" Anna asked as Elsa finally rose from her sister's shoulder which was now soaked.
"V-Vergil." Elsa said softly.
"Who's Vergil?"
Elsa sighed as they sat down on her bed with Anna looking on, curiosity building. "He's this man I met in the city. He's like me in so many ways but I don't know what he will think of me when he sees my powers." Elsa said sadly, looking about to cry again.
Anna was stunned. Elsa had a crush on some guy, that was something she had hoped for since forever!
"Ohhhhh, Elsa that's wonderful!" Anna squealed as Elsa gave her a confused look.
"What's wonderful? Him leaving me?" Elsa said, still looking depressed.
"No silly. That you have a cru-ush with some-one." Anna giggled and Elsa blushed deeply, confirming Anna's suspicions
"Elsa has a crush! Elsa has a crush!..." Anna chanted like a child, making Elsa blush even more, that Anna thought she was as red as a tomato from how much Elsa was blushing, and making her more embarrassed.
"Anna, enough." Elsa said seriously finally lifting her face which was still red but was fighting to keep her giggling from escaping. 'Anna can make any depressing thing happy.'
"Oh Elsa, you have got to tell me what he's like! What's his eye color? What's his favorite color? What's his favorite food? What's his foot size? What's his…" Anna began to ramble on questions that Elsa had to stop her.
"Woah, woah, Anna stop. I don't know him that much." Elsa snickered as she held her sister's mouth to stop her rambling.
Anna, not very appreciative of being stopped, licked Elsa's hand, which Elsa quickly retracted. "Anna, that's disgusting!" Elsa shrieked as she wiped her hands clean of Anna's saliva.
"Okay, fine, I'm disgusting. But seriously, what's his eye color? What's his favorite color? What's his favorite food? What's his foot size? How does he eat." Anna asked once again.
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you. Happy?" Elsa asked as she rubbed her aching temples and Anna laid on her stomach with her head on her hands as she waited Elsa's story.
"Well, get on with it." Anna said impatiently.
Elsa sighed. Sometimes, Anna was like a child. Like this, for instance. Begrudgingly she started her story and she smiled at her memories of Vergil Sparda.
"Okay, his name is Vergil Sparda but he prefers Vergil instead." Elsa began her story of her Vergil.
"Vergil? That's a cool name." Anna sighed and urged her sister to continue. Elsa merely complied.
"Once you see him, Anna, you'll think you're in the presence of a god. He's just so handsome like he's a gift from the heavens." Elsa sighed dreamily as images of Vergil appeared in her vision. "The way he dresses is also majestic: a black vest with a neckerchief at the collar, a three-tailed palatinate blue silk coat with golden snake-like patterns on each side, and black trousers tucked into his brown combat boots." Elsa went into great detail of Vergil's appearance that she forgot that Anna was even there. Anna, on the other hand, was glad that Elsa found someone who could hopefully love her. "Vergil is much like me: graceful, elegant, cool, and composed. He always carries a sword with him." That caught Anna's attention.
"Woah, hold up. He carries a sword with him?" Anna asked worriedly and Elsa nodded slowly as she was still daydreaming about this Vergil. 'Why does he even carry a sword? If he even thinks about hurting Elsa, I'll make sure that he gets it.' Anna growled mentally but didn't show it and let Elsa continue her story.
"His eye-color is steel-blue. When you first see his eyes, you could only see ice," Elsa said sadly and Anna began thinking of ways to hurt Vergil (As if that was possible) until Elsa spoke again. "but underneath the ice, there is also warmth. I don't know what caused that but I know, what happened to him was worse, far worse compared to mine." Elsa said sadly. She did not know what in God's name happened to him but she was willing to help Vergil. Anna, too, felt sorry for Vergil. If he had it worse than even Elsa did, then he deserved to be happy as much as Elsa did. That she would make sure of in the future.
Elsa then smiled a little when she remembered one beautiful thing about him. His smile. "Oh his smile. His smile is like a light in the darkness, warm and gentle. I've never felt so happy to see someone smile like that. He's just amazing.' Elsa sighed contently as she looked at her right hand in memory of the kiss he left her with. Anna could see this and couldn't help but smile at her sister. 'She finally found someone.'
"His favorite color is blue, as you can tell by his coat." Elsa laughed as did Anna. "Yeah, only an idiot would think that blue isn't his favorite color!" The royal sisters laughed so hard that their sides hurt.
"Okay, okay. What else?" Anna asked.
"His favorite food is blueberry sundae because, you guessed it." "Blue!" The two sisters started to crack up once again. "I don't know his foot size but they're not that big just right. The way he eats is just like me: poised and well-mannered unlike some people around here." Elsa said, looking at Anna who playfully glared at her sister. Before Anna could even ask, Elsa beat her to it. "And before you ask Anna, no. He does not pick his nose." Elsa snickered as Anna just rolled her eyes.
As the two sisters sat up Anna said, "Wow, this Vergil guy is kinda cool."
"Yes, yes he is." Elsa said as she looked out the window with a smile on her pale face.
Anna feeling a little playful decided to have a little bit of fun with her sister. "Elsa?" Anna said barely containing her laugh. "Hmm?" Elsa responded, still dazed. "Do you love him?" As soon as Elsa heard her question, she immediately blushed and hid her face. Anna just laughed hard.
"Okay, Anna. I'll admit, I like him but not love him." 'I do love him but I won't say that to Anna, not yet anyways.' Elsa thought to herself still blushing.
"Oh yeah, I believe you." Anna said sarcastically and Elsa gave a cute giggle. But, as soon as Elsa was feeling happy, she was depressed yet again.
Anna noticed her sister's distress again and asked, "What's the matter Elsa?" As Anna scooted closer to her.
"What if he doesn't like me back? What if I show my powers, he'll just run away and say I'm a freak?" Elsa asked as tears began to appear in her eyes once again.
"Hey, Elsa look at me." Anna said and Elsa looked at her flustered. "I know it's not my place to say but, I can see that you're really attracted to him and I'll bet that he is too. He's just a little new to this as much as you are. Give yourselves time to get to know each other better and maybe the two of you will come around." Anna said soothingly and Elsa smiled as she hugged her sister.
"Thank you, Anna. I love you." Elsa said warmly
"I love you too. Now come on and get dressed, I'm starving!" Anna said as she ran like hell to the dining area.
Elsa shook her head at her sister, Anna was always one for food. Elsa stood up and began to get dressed. She still feared of Vergil's reaction, but if there was even the slightest chance that he would accept her, she would take it. That possibility made her smile. She walked to the window looking at the city where Vergil stayed and smiled brightly.
"I'll see you soon, Vergil." She said softly as she walked down to eat breakfast.
Vergil awoke from his sleep, surprisingly calm and let's say happy but would never admit it. He had dreamt of Elsa that night as well. He somehow couldn't get her image out of his thoughts. She was beautiful and each passing minute it was getting frustratingly difficult to control his devil when near her.
As his bare-chested form sat up on the bed, his head again filled with images of Elsa. Her smile, her figure, anything everything about her was perfect in his eyes. 'What has that woman done to me?' Vergil growled mentally to himself. In all of his life, he had never felt this way before. He had condemned all affections in favor of his quest for power, he was still adamant in his quest but it became apparent that she was distracting him. And he let her.
"Elsa, what is it with you?" Vergil asked mostly to himself as he began his morning routine. As he was taking a shower, his mind still filled with images of Elsa. Growling lowly, he finished his shower and went on to brush his pure white teeth, and put on his trousers. He could not get more distracted than this. Would he attend the celebration? He could just leave and never come back but that would mean not seeing Elsa again. Plus, he gave his word to her that he would attend. Vergil may be a cold-hearted man but he was still a man of honor. Sighing heavily, he gazed out into the town, which was already decorated for the celebration. 'Hmm…I never realized that human could move that fast when there is a special occasion due.' Vergil mentally commented as he surveyed the decal. He could also see ships, from different kingdoms he supposed, entering port. Probably were invited by Elsa, he chuckled.
Opting to don his wardrobe, he went back to his grooming. After he stylishly put on his silk coat, he brushed back his hair in his desired position with one flick of the wrist, he grabbed Yamato, more out of habit than protection, from the study table and went down to the dining area for some breakfast. At the thought of breakfast, his stomach grumbled. He scowled at this humiliation but was thankful no one was around to hear it lest they lose a limb or their lives.
"Good morning, Mister Vergil!" The elderly couple, Johannes and Camille Fjordman greeted happily.
"Good morning to you two as well." Vergil greeted coolly back in return as he bowed.
"I assume you will stay for the celebration, judging that you're still here?" Johannes asked.
Vergil growled mentally that this mere human could ask him so many questions and not get hacked to pieces. "Yes, I will. I look forward to seeing it."
"Very good, Mister Vergil. You will not be disappointed for sure." Camille said surely. 'More than you know.' Vergil thought as he was looking forward to seeing Elsa again.
"I suppose that you will be having breakfast then?" Camille asked warmly like a mother. That made Vergil tense.
"Yes, yes I will." Vergil said lowly.
"Mister Vergil, is something wrong?" Camille asked, worry evident in her eyes, as was Johannes.
"Nothing. Nothing is wrong." He said as he entered the dining area leaving the elderly couple to look at him like they noticed a twinge of sadness in his eyes. 'Why am I reminded of Eva and Sparda when I look at them?' Vergil thought angrily as he ate his served breakfast.
After Vergil finished breakfast, he was stopped by Camille and Johannes, much to his mounting annoyance. "What is it?" He spoke, ice evident in his tone and they gasped. 'Damn.'
"We wanted to apologize if we had offended you. We didn't know that you had a traumatic experience, I hope you forgive us." Camille said worriedly. She and Johannes looked down like they did something very wrong to him. They did and they should die by his blade, at least it was an honorable end. But decided not to, they didn't know what he went through and they were just naturally warm, both acted like a mother and father to him which he greatly missed. He missed his mother, he missed his father, and after much consideration, his brother. Vergil missed the days that they were just a normal family. With normal lives.
"It is all right. You couldn't have known." He sighed as he left the Inn leaving the two to watch his form disappearing from the crowd.
"Johannes, the boy has been through so much. I've seen it in his eyes." Camille said sadly as they entered their Inn.
"I know, my dear. I saw how he tensed up and the sadness in his eyes. Whatever he went through, it is not to be spoken lightly." Johannes agreed as they wondered what happened in Vergil's past.
As Vergil entered the courtyard where the majority of the crowd was gathering, Vergil sensed that he was, once again being eyed by those women. Oh how he loathes these harlots. Then he saw Elsa at the center of the courtyard. When she saw him, she smiled his smile and he couldn't help but smile back at her. 'What has she done to me?' He asked himself casually. He was beginning to grow fond of her, and he admits that he was attracted to her. Not openly of course, not yet at least.
Reluctantly, she tore her gaze away from him and spoke to the crowd in her angelic voice that made Vergil smile even brighter. "Are you ready?" she said. Whatever she was planning to do, he could see that she was nervous about something. Completely taking himself by surprise, he nodded his head encouragingly towards her and she smiled gratefully at him causing him to smile as well.
What happened next took him by surprise.
Elsa finished breakfast along with Olaf, Kristoff, and Anna. It was very awkward because Anna kept smirking at her. Kristoff, however she noticed that was nervous. Elsa could see him fiddling his food and running his hand across his blonde hair. She knew something was up with Kristoff but let it slide, he would bring it up to her if it concerned Anna.
As Elsa rounded the corner, she heard Kristoff calling her and she met up with him.
"What is it Kristoff?" Elsa asked curiously.
Kristoff was acting very strange, very flustered. "I uhh I just want to ask you if…umm. I wanted to ask…if it's alright if…" He rambled as he looked anywhere but her.
Elsa rolled her eyes, she knew where this was going. He was finally going to propose to Anna. "Kristoff." Kristoff looked at her. "Yeah?" "Just spit it out already."
Taking a deep breath, he said the thing he'd been wanting to get Elsa's blessing for. "I want to ask for your blessing to propose to Anna." Kristoff said quietly while looking down.
Elsa couldn't help but smile that Kristoff finally decided to propose to Anna and unlike that one incident, she was more than happy to accept it. "Of course, Kristoff. You can marry Anna."
With that said he hugged Elsa warmly. "Thank you Elsa. I promise, I'll take care of Anna." Kristoff vowed to the queen.
"I know you will. You'll be stuck with her so you'll have to up with her." Elsa chuckled.
"Good point, she's sometimes a handful." Elsa only nodded in response.
"So how are you gonna propose to her? Do you even have the ring?"
"Don't worry. I got it all taken care of. Just cover your ears when the screaming starts." At the mention of Anna's screams, they cringed. They all knew how powerful Anna's vocal cords were and that was very powerful.
"Thanks for the heads up Kristoff. I'll see you later after the celebration." Elsa said as did Kristoff and went outside to starts the celebration, meet with the visiting delegates, and maybe see Vergil among the crowd. She smiled at the mention of his name. Elsa still had her doubts of what Vergil will think of her but smiled nonetheless. She was looking forward to meeting him again. She was attracted to him, that Elsa would admit, but she would not love him, not yet anyway.
As she stood at the center of the courtyard, she scanned the crowd for Vergil. And sure enough she found him and she was elated that he was here. 'He came! I can't believe he came!' Elsa thought to herself.
Not knowing what she could do, she smiled as bright as she could at Vergil, who smiled back at her making her knees go weak. 'His smile rivals that of even the stars.' She sighed dreamily.
Okay. Now she had to do it. Now she had to show him what she could do and just hope Vergil could accept her. With a breath, she conjured up a glowing snowball in her hands and launched it up into the air. As soon as the snowball dispersed into the sky, it began to snow lightly. Sparkling snowflakes filled the air and the crowd, especially the children were cheering; all except for Vergil as he looked up at the sky with a bewildered stare. Elsa's heart dropped as she saw him just staring, knowing that it wasn't over she took a light step and coated the courtyard floor with glistening ice. Then the people skated.
No matter how much Elsa tried to hide it, she was devastated. 'He…he doesn't accept me.' Elsa thought glumly as she walked away but a hand stopped her. When she turned around, she gasped when she saw Vergil standing there.
When Vergil saw that Elsa created a snowball out of thin air, he instantly knew that she had control over ice. 'Hmm...she can control ice. How ironic.' His soul was ice and she could control ice. The irony almost sent him into a fit of laughter, almost.
When he realized there was a light flurry of shining snowflakes, he couldn't help but stare bewildered at the beautiful sight. 'She truly is a goddess.' Vergil commented promisingly at Elsa. If she could make something this beautiful, she was truly a gift from heaven.
Vergil contemplated on whether to take her power or not. 'I should take it from her, it would be a great asset in my quest for power. But I would mean that she can no more create objects such as these.' Vergil thought to himself. He could take her power easily and he should, but Elsa made ice lovely. All he can do with it was destruction, but she could make it into an art. 'And besides, if demons find me creating ice sculptures they will think I've gone soft.' He scoffed at this notion. Him - the Dark Slayer - gone soft. The was laughable on infinite degrees. Vergil opted that Elsa could retain her ability because it was who she was, and taking that away meant removing a part of her soul from her. And he preferred her being whole.
Then, the floors were coated with glimmering ice and everyone started to skate. 'Humans.' He growled at them. They never did saw what was truly happening around them. The darkness and evil that surrounded them and they were oblivious of it, even when it was staring at them right in their faces.
Tearing his cool gaze from the crowd, he looked for Elsa. To let her know that he was impressed and what she did was captivating. But as soon as Vergil found her, she was looking down at the ground, sadness evident in her gorgeous eyes. He was confused, one minute she was giving happiness to these worthless humans, and then the next she was sulking over something he didn't even know.
As he made his way towards Elsa, she turned her back at him obviously not noticing him. When he caught up to her, he gently grabbed her arm. 'Okay, it is decided. She has truly changed me.' Vergil thought to himself.
When Elsa turned around , she was surprised to see him and gasped making Vergil smirk inwardly. "What…what are you doing here?" Elsa asked looking devastated which concerned Vergil. "Well, I seem to recall being invited by the queen herself." He responded coolly but with a hint of playfulness.
"But-but you saw what I could do and I thought that you would hate me if I showed you. I was afraid that you would never accept me." Elsa said sadly as tears rolled down her face. 'She is really just like me.'
"Elsa," Vergil began as he gently lifted her head with his forefinger to face him. "I don't care if you hid it from me. We all have our secrets, you are no exception, as am I. When I first saw you making ice out of magic, I was surprised, but I was not afraid, I was bewildered. I was fascinated with your ability to make ice beautiful as you are. If this really means heavily to you, then I accept you for who and what you are. No deceptions attached."
Elsa couldn't help but cry into his chest as he said those words to her. He accepted her, all of her willingly. She couldn't be any more happier than she is now. "Thank you, Vergil. That…that means a great deal to me." She said softly but happily as she raised her head to look into his steely eyes. He was sculpted and refined; he was cold yes but he had even a small amount a warm side. The only side that he showed her, only her.
Vergil stood there as she stared at him with those enticing eyes. 'Those eyes, they are just too beautiful to forsake as well as all of her.' Vergil said to himself as he too looked into her eyes. Elsa's eyes were radiant, and filled with innocence and life. She was perfect.
Vergil smiled warmly at her as she too smiled at him. Vergil, sensing where this was going, kissed her on the forehead, the one thing he could do for now. "You're welcome Queen Elsa. I just couldn't stand idly by while you were depressed like that." He said as he took a step backward. Away from her. He could not afford to fall in love, he had lost too much to suffer this pain again. But no matter how much he denied it, he was slowly falling for her Him, a demon falling for a human. If he was told years ago that he would fall in love with a human, he would smirk and slice whoever told him that nonsense in half. But now, he could see truth in those words.
Elsa was disappointed but she did not show it. She was sure that they were going to kiss but alas fate had other motives.
As they stood there in an awkward silence, Elsa was blushing as she looked at her feet while Vergil was fiddling with his sleeves trying to take his mind off his urge to kiss her. 'Why is it so hard.'
"So, how is the festival?" Elsa asked modestly at Vergil, trying to lift the uncomfortable silence.
"I find it jovial. I didn't think that the decorations would be up in mere hours." He said plainly as he shrugged.
Elsa smiled and nodded. "Yes, the people really love to celebrate." She agreed.
"But what is the occasion? Surely, this is not just for leisure." Vergil observed. Normally, these types of celebrations were special events like Christmas or New Year but as far as he knew, it was the middle of May, no holidays yet.
"It is just for the people. Every now and then, we conduct a celebration. Keeps them happy." Elsa said as she looked around to see happy faces and smiled at this. Vergil only nodded in response.
"Hey, we could go around town and see the games there. That's if, if you want to go?" Elsa asked hopefully to Vergil and faced him with a puppy-dog face as if saying 'please, please, please, please.'
Vergil inwardly rolled his eyes at this but found it to be rather cute. "Like our little tour?" He asked coolly as he quirked an eyebrow and giving a smirk.
Elsa only nodded as she could not respond that he just made himself even more handsome than he already was.
"Well then, milady." Vergil held out his arm for her arms to link with his. "Shall we?"
"We shall." Elsa giggled as she linked arms with him and departed to see the games prepared in the town.
Unbeknownst to the two, they were being watched by four, very shocked observers. Mainly Anna, Kristoff, Rapunzel, and Eugene.
"ANNA!" A short-haired brunette shouted at Anna while dragging a protesting man.
"C'mon Punzie. I can walk." The man whined like a child.
"I know. I just like to drag you around. Now come on, Eugene! There's Anna." The one called Rapunzel said to Eugene who rolled his eyes at his wife. 'She can be so energetic. That's why I love her.' Eugene thought lovingly.
"Rapunzel!" Anna greeted back as she pulled Kristoff to meet their good friends from Corona.
"It's been so long you guys!" Rapunzel said as the two girls hugged while the two men rolled their eyes.
"Yeah, like three months ago." The two said at the same time causing Anna and Rapunzel to glare at their respective partners
"Okay, so what's been going on since we were gone?" Rapunzel asked as she went to Eugene's side and he promptly put his arm around her as Anna and Kristoff did the same.
"Oh nothing much. But I think Elsa has a boyfriend." Anna said nonchalantly and that caught the three's attention and their eyes widened in shocked surprise.
"Elsa has a boyfriend?!" Rapunzel, Eugene, and Kristoff exclaimed quietly at the same time. Anna nodded.
"Well, who is he?" Eugene asked and the others followed suit.
"Elsa said that he looked like a god when you see him and judging from her behavior when she talked about it, so it must be true." Anna said as the others listened very closely.
"Go on, Anna. Tell us more." Kristoff urged and Rapunzel and Eugene nodded in agreement. Anna being Anna, told them of what Elsa told her about Vergil Sparda, the man colder than ice.
"Wow, I never thought Elsa would find someone who could actually like her." Rapunzel commented.
"Yeah, but it's a good thing right? She can finally have some happiness in her life." Eugene said as they all nodded in agreement. They all knew that Elsa had it rough and it was only right that she had her happiness.
"Okay, so where is this Vergil?" Kristoff asked.
"I don't know. Elsa never did mention where he lived." Anna shrugged
As the two couples were searching for Elsa, they were shocked as to what they found. A man in a blue coat, Elsa in his arms, and him kissing her forehead. To say they were shocked was an understatement. Elsa looked happier than anything in a long time, for what they can see. The one named Vergil truly did look like a god as the four got close enough to see them.
"Wow, Elsa wasn't kidding when she said he looked like a god." Rapunzel said quietly while the others only nodded, still in shock that Elsa had found someone who could be with her.
They thought that they could not get more shocked, they were dead flat wrong. Vergil offered his arm to Elsa and she willingly linked her arm to his and walked to town leaving them with their mouths wide open.
"Okay, now I'm shocked beyond belief." Rapunzel said.
"Yeah, not only did we found out what Vergil looked like, but Elsa was like happy to be with him." Kristoff said.
"That's for sure, she looked at peace to be with him." Anna sighed, happy that Elsa had found someone special.
"That's all good but one question." Eugene said offhandedly
"What is it?" The three asked curiously
"What's with the sword?"
Anna just shrugged. "I don't know. Elsa said he just has it everywhere he goes."
"Well, I guess it's wonderful that Elsa is happy. It's been due for a long time." Kristoff said and they all agreed to what he said. They then went back to the castle to catch up on what's been happening between the two.
Unknown to them, they weren't the only ones that has seen Vergil and Elsa. "So, the Ice Queen has found somebody to love, eh?" A man chuckled darkly and disappeared amongst the crowd.
Vergil had to admit that this was the most fun he'd had in years and from the looks of it, so was Elsa. They walked out of the courtyard, arm in arm and Vergil couldn't stop butterflies from fluttering in the pit of his stomach. It was the first time that he was on a date. Okay, a date is a little over-anticipating things maybe a civil outing of two friends, yeah that must be it. Nothing serious, just a little tour again.
Elsa on the other hand can barely contain her giddiness. This marks the first time that she went out with someone other than Anna or Olaf. To say the least, Elsa was excited and a little nervous. Excited that Vergil wanted to spend the day with her and nervous that she would make a fool of herself.
As they entered the town, the two were met with a sight of children playing, and men and women sharing kisses that made both Elsa and Vergil blush ever so slightly. Elsa smiled at the sight of such joy and peace her people were having and Vergil remained cold as always.
The two had a very good time. Vergil actually started to warm up to all of this and Elsa saw this under his ice and couldn't help but smile that Vergil did in fact have a heart-a frozen heart. They got away stealing glances at each other as they walked together. Elsa still blushed when she even got a glimpse of his face. Vergil just looked at her from his peripheral vision and saw her blush. 'Why does this woman have such an effect on me?' Vergil asked to himself and can't help but smile at this.
Vergil and Elsa engaged in a simple conversation and playful bantering with each other. Playful banters were yet another rarity for Vergil.
"So Mister Vergil, what would you like to see?" Elsa said, continuing their little game.
Vergil pretended to think as he playfully rubbed his clean-shaven chin. "Hmm…I don't know." He said and he looked at Elsa who was totally flushed. "What do you suggest, my queen."
Elsa looked away blushing. She could hardly contain her giggles when he said 'my queen' to her. She thought it was kind of sexy and cute at the same time.
"Oh, I know, We could go play some of the parlor games in the city and maybe we could take a nice stroll to wherever. That is, if you approve Vergil Sparda?" Vergil did not know why, but he enjoyed Elsa calling him that was. 'I know it is wrong of me; nevertheless I highly approve of her saying my name like that, only her.' Vergil thought with a smile. He was starting to care about this particular human even more and was now contemplating on coming back to Arendelle for Elsa.
"A splendid idea, Elsa." He bowed at her. "Lead the way, milady."
"As you wish, Mister Vergil." Elsa giggled and held out her hand. "Will you accompany, my good sir?" She asked lightly at him.
Vergil hesitated for a second. This was beginning, little by little, to be a date. Vergil did not mind one bit but, hell this was getting out of hand fast.
Elsa patiently waited for him to take her hand. She didn't mind the he won't take her hand, she was new to this as was Vergil.
When she was about to retract, Vergil grabbed her hand with his gloved one. She was surprised at this but was elated all the same. His hand was warm and inviting and she liked the feeling of his hand in hers. With her mind clouded, Elsa could only smile at him and he did the same, which warmed her up.
They walked together hand in hand and went to play some of the parlor games. Vergil and Elsa proved to be a formidable combination as they fiercely but playfully competed with each other. Vergil and Elsa were having a grand time with each other, they played various games which include shooting a ball into a small cup, darts, archery, charades, etc.
Vergil had won at darts as Elsa bested him in shooting the ball and archery and charades which increased his admiration for her even more. 'She is skilled, I'll give her that.'
As they continued their game hunting, Elsa found a game that would be fun for the both of them: knife throwing. "Vergil, could we play that game?" Elsa asked him cutely as she pointed to a knife throwing game.
Vergil looked at where she was pointing and smiled excitedly. 'Finally, a game that will have some form of practice.' He said to himself. "Very well, but are you sure? We wouldn't want the queen to hurt herself." He teased which shocked him to no end while Elsa raised an eyebrow at him.
"You think I can't throw a knife, do you?" She asked at him.
"I do not think of that of you. Only I worry that you would be defeated if you chose to challenge me at this." He said plainly, as if he was issuing a challenge, which he was.
"Oh yeah, then I accept your challenge, my good sir." Elsa said as she walked up to the game with Vergil following suit.
"Excuse me, sir. We would like to play your game." She said lightly at the chubby man.
"Oh, my queen. What a pleasure to have you here today." The man bowed at her which Elsa smiled to.
"Yes it is." Elsa said looking at Vergil who immediately tugged his collar and Elsa began giggling. "We would like to play your game. How much will be the charge?" She asked at him.
"Please, my queen, there is no need to pay. It is on the house." He said shaking his head.
"We insist." Vergil said walking up to the two as he held out a ruby.
The man and Elsa were surprised that Vergil had a ruby with him. "Where did you get that?" They both asked at the same time.
"I have my reasons." Vergil replied as he gave the man the ruby which he reluctantly accepted.
"Thank you, good sir. You may begin, three knives each, the one who hits the bull's eye gets a prize." The man said as he handed Vergil and Elsa three daggers each.
"Okay Elsa, since that this was your idea, you may proceed first." Vergil said as he gave Elsa room, which she was grateful for.
Elsa threw the daggers and totally missed the bull's eye, she didn't even hit the board. Elsa groaned as Vergil shook his head with a smirk plastered on his face.
"I'm sorry, my queen but it would appear that you have lost."
"Do not despair Elsa. Not everyone can be skilled in knife throwing." Vergil said trying to sooth Elsa down.
Elsa nodded and smiled at Vergil and he did the same. The man smiled widely at this as he knew what was to become of this later on.
"Okay, sir. You may now begin."
"Good luck Vergil. It's harder than it looks." Elsa said
Vergil looked at her with a smirk and Elsa blushed. "You really think I would lose at this, don't you?" he asked and she nodded.
While still looking into her eyes, he held out a single knife for her to see. "I will show you how to throw a knife." He said coolly. Then he threw the knife at the target without even looking and it hit the very center of the bull's eye.
The man and Elsa were flabbergasted at this. He didn't even look at the target! "How-how did you do that? You didn't even look!" Elsa exclaimed while the man looked on, still shocked that this young man had such skill.
"I am many things a skilled warrior is one of them. Now I do believe that I am entitled to a prize." Vergil said turning to the man who snapped out of his trance. "Oh. Yes, you can just pick one from the rack." Vergil began to look at the racks filled with toys. He didn't want to have these things but he thought of someone who could probably have a remembrance of this day.
With that, he looked at Elsa. "Would you like to have a prize, Elsa?" He asked her.
Elsa was surprised that he would give her the chance to pick a toy. "Are you sure, Vergil?" She asked carefully which made him chuckle.
"Of course I'm sure. I have no need for simple toys but you, my queen, would need a remembrance of this day."
Elsa smiled at him so brightly that it made Vergil's heart race a mile minute. Elsa began to look at the rack filled with toys. After much contemplation and consideration, she chose a snow-white teddy bear. Typical.
With the toy in her possession, they thanked the man and went on for that promised stroll, hand in hand.
Vergil would have never thought that he would become like this. Feeling content and happy, and accepted all because of one insignificant human. The only other human that made him feel like that was his deceased mother, but she was now resting. At the memory of his mother, he looked down for a moment, ice once again filling his heart.
Elsa took notice of the coldness in his eyes and she began to worry. "Vergil, what's wrong?" Elsa asked softly.
"Nothing, nothing is wrong." He said turning away from her and walked to a cliff with a beautiful view of the ocean and the sun. Strangely, this was so familiar to him but paid no mind to it.
Elsa caught up to the disturbed Vergil but wisely kept her distance. She knew that her past pain paled in comparison to his and if she asked the wrong questions, Vergil may snap at her.
With careful steps, she was beside a blank Vergil once again and a silence occurred between the two. After a few minutes, Elsa wanted to alleviate the silence that has befallen them so she thought of a way to get Vergil back to ground level.
"Beautiful isn't it." Elsa said hoping to receive a reaction from Vergil and she did.
"Yes, yes you are." Vergil said without thinking and made Elsa blush an uncomfortable red. It took a while for Vergil to realize what he said and when he did realize it; his face was now the same color as his brother's red coat.
"Apologies, Elsa. I do not know where that came from." Vergil said looking away trying to hide his blush. 'Where in the hell did that come from?! I know I'm attracted to her but this is just ridiculous!' Vergil thought angrily at himself, this Elsa was beginning to change him that's for sure. In addition, as much as he denied it, he was starting to fall in love with her.
"Um, no, it's alright no…harm done." Elsa said looking away as well trying to hide her horrible blush on her pale skin. 'He said I'm beautiful. HE SAID I'M BEAUTIFUL! I can't believe it!' She thought happily to herself. She did not want to admit it yet, but she was beginning to fall for him.
After a couple of minutes, Vergil turned to face her as did Elsa. They smiled sheepishly at each other and continued to watch the scene before them in peaceful silence hand in hand.
"Vergil?"
"Yes?"
Elsa bit her lip as to what she was about to say. "What were you thinking about just a few minutes ago?"
Vergil gave a long sad sigh that Elsa caught on that what he was thinking about was his past and tightened her grip on his hand.
"My mother, and my brother, I watched my mother die in front of me when I was eight years old. And my brother believes me dead." He said looking at the horizon.
Elsa gasped at this. She isolated herself from her family, lost her parents to a storm, froze Arendelle in eternal winter, and almost killed Anna; but Vergil watched his family die before his very eyes, all that and he was still eight years of age and she this was just the beginning. Tears began to pool in her eyes and she gave him a comforting hug.
Vergil tensed up at this sudden contact but wrapped his arms around her nevertheless.
"I'm sorry Vergil. I didn't know." She said softly
"It all right, Elsa, I don't blame anyone for what happened." He said lightly as he sat them down at the grass.
The tension seemed to disappear as they held hands and Elsa rested her head on his shoulder, a smile gracing her angelic face. Vergil smiled at this; he was truly fascinated with this weak human. Elsa was beginning to be the object of his thoughts more and more frequently.
"You miss them don't you, your family?" She asked as she gazed at the ocean.
"Every day." Vergil responded
"What happened?" Elsa asked as she looked up to him.
He closed his steel-blue eyes. "Please, Elsa, this is not a memory to dwell on. What happened to my mother was barbaric and I do not want to remember what they did to her." He said plainly but his anger was dangerously high that he had to close his eyes lest Elsa see his eyes glowing blue.
Elsa was saddened to hear that his mother suffered greatly. She wanted him to tell her what happened so she could help him, but she knew that he would tell her when the time is right and when that does happen, she will listen.
Elsa only nodded her head. Vergil would tell her when he was ready.
"Oh, Vergil, I must ask you something." Elsa said as she remembered the ball later this evening.
"Yes, what is it?" He asked as he looked down at her.
"Would you attend the ball later this evening? It will be a formal gathering." Elsa asked, hopeful that Vergil would be in attendance.
Vergil began to think about this. He was never a socialite; he was more of a loner. But that would mean leaving Elsa alone with princes, noblemen, old men, etc. His anger began to boil at the sight of Elsa being harassed by these immoral men. How dare they touch his Elsa, he would make sure that she stays his…wait what? Did he just say that Elsa was his? Was he claiming her as his, his mate; but they didn't even know each other that well yet. Nevertheless, he could not leave her alone so he opted to agree.
"Very well, I will be there but you must be there too if I am to attend" He said and Elsa tackled him to the ground, a feat that would leave anyone without arms.
"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!" Elsa shouted happily and Vergil just lay there his eyes drifting to her exposed cleavage. He could see he white undergarments and her breast and he was beginning to feel something harden in his pants. His devil was going crazy about the prospect of taking her here and now, and it took all of his self-control to hold himself back.
He swallowed quietly to calm his nerves down as they both sat up. "You're welcome. I better make sure I am dressed accordingly for later on."
Elsa rolled her eyes and smirked at him. "You already dress like a king, and you say you have more stunning clothes than this."
"You'd be surprised as to what I have in stored for tonight." Vergil said sexily as he looked into her cerulean eyes.
Elsa blushed as to how he said those words to her and looked into his eyes. Those eyes that held so much eyes yet so much warmth. Without them knowing, they were leaning into each other.
Vergil didn't know why but he knew what he wanted, he wanted to kiss her. Elsa could feel her heart trying to jump out of her chest. She wanted to kiss him so badly, but would he want the same?
Her train of thoughts were halted when their lips connected in a passionate dance. Vergil was finally at peace and shut his eyes in bliss, Elsa did as well. Elsa found his lips to be sweeter than chocolate. Warm and delicious, was his lips in her mind. Vergil felt a chill run down his spine as their lips connected, her lips were cold yet enticing that he had to control himself. He was a gentleman, mind you. Without him knowing, he brushed his tongue across Elsa's lips begging for entrance. Elsa smiled and happily granted him entrance, and their tongues battled for dominance. Elsa put up quite a fight but was subdued by Vergil. They did not want to stop but the two had to breathe.
They reluctantly let go of each other's sweet lips and rested their foreheads on the other's
"Wow." Elsa said breathlessly as she tried to regain some oxygen.
"I agree." Vergil said breathing heavily.
He finally found someone who could be the source of his salvation, and that put a smile to his face. Someone whom he could truly love. It was then he realized that he had fallen for Elsa. He-the Dark Slayer had fallen victim to a weak human. God save them all.
Then something occurred to him, could he expose Elsa to the dangers of being his mate, a mate of a son of a traitor. Demons would surely hunt her down to get to him. The thought of her lifeless body in his arms, he would lose all reason for living.
'All the more reason to gain power. If not for me, for her.' Vergil thought as they wrapped their arms around each other's waist. He would make sure that she was safe, he would make sure of that.
When it was already late in the afternoon, Vergil opted that now was a good time to end their date so they could be ready for the ball. "We'd better get back. We don't want the queen to be late for her own ball." Vergil teased and Elsa giggled.
"I concur, and we don't want her escort to be absent also now, do we? She asked just as teasingly that made Vergil smirk. 'She has a vocabulary, I'll give her that.'
Vergil helped Elsa up and dusted themselves off and walked back to the castle hand in hand, in a comfortable silence. They were naturally quiet individuals and they did not feel the need to say empty words, the other's presence was enough.
When Vergil and Elsa returned to the courtyard, Elsa kissed his cheek. "Thank you for the wonderful day Vergil. I had fun." She said as she hugged her stuffed bear.
"As did I, I will see you at the ball and try not to drool." He said casually and Elsa playfully nudged him with her hip, which made him vibrate with want.
"I'd better go back inside. Anna'll probably be looking for me."
"Anna?" Vergil questioned.
"My sister. She's…let's just say chaotic." Elsa said and Vergil nodded in understanding. 'Exactly like Dante.'
With that, he gave her one last kiss on the top of her hand and bowed at her. "I'll see you later, queen Elsa." Elsa then curtsied in response. "I hope so."
Vergil gave her a smile and turned around to prepare for the ball.
Elsa stayed standing there just watching Vergil depart, knowing that he will show up at the ball. She touched her lips as she remembered the feel of his lips on hers. He was so sweet and warm that when they kissed she was afraid that she would melt on the spot. Elsa smiled at this as a blush came upon her cheeks and hugged her bear more tightly. "I'd better go back in and make sure everything is ready." She said and turned around towards the castle.
When Elsa entered the castle, she was met with Anna, Rapunzel, Kristoff and Eugene, all with their arms crossed and a serious expression on their faces.
"Um…did I miss something?" Elsa asked curiously.
"So, Elsa, how was your date with Vergil?" Anna questioned and Elsa hid the bear behind her back and began to think of a way out of this predicament.
"Uh…well you see…It's not what you guys think…" Elsa began and Rapunzel rolled her eyes.
"Oh come on, Elsa, we saw you with him leaving the castle together, arm in arm." The brunette said with a smirk and all of them gave her a sly smirk making the queen of Arendelle blush uncontrollably.
"Yeah, just spit it out. We know." Eugene said.
"Okay, we had a date. You guys happy?" Elsa said as she hid behind her teddy bear.
She was sure that they would judge for this but instead she heard a shriek so loud that it broke the sound barrier. She had to cover her ears lest she lose her hearing.
Vergil thought that he heard someone screaming and it came from the castle. He was half-tempted to teleport there and save Elsa but decided against it. 'She probably told her sister.'
Elsa uncovered her throbbing ears and saw that Krsitoff and Eugene doing the same. "Oh, Elsa, we're so happy for you!" Anna and Rapunzel said as they hugged her.
Elsa was confused, she thought they were mad and now they were jumping like lunatics. "Wait, I thought you guys were angry?" she questioned.
They laughed at this. "Elsa, you found someone who accepted you for who you are. How could we be angry with that?" Kristoff asked sarcastically making Elsa roll her eyes.
"Oh yeah, and I gotta say, you chose one heck of a looker." Anna said that made Elsa blush. They laughed at Elsa embarrassment.
"Okay, now tell us about your little date." Eugene said as they sat down in the library.
Elsa smiled that they were happy about this and told them of her day with Vergil Sparda. She told them about their little completion of parlor games and that he hit the center of the bull's eye without even looking and that's why she had her teddy bear.
"Damn, he's good." Eugene commented and Elsa nodded her head in agreement.
"Yeah, I couldn't believe my eyes when he hit the target dead on without even taking a peep at it." Elsa said.
"Wow, Elsa, Vergil really is cool." Rapunzel said.
"Yeah, he is, but I gotta make sure the ball is ready for tonight so I'll see you guys later." She excused herself and went into her room where she laid the teddy bear on her bed gently and she stroked the soft fabric of the bear with a smile on her face.
"I'll see you later, Vergil."
