Chapter 4: Queen and the Duke

JACK FROST

She's still lost in thought. It's always like this, whenever she walks she always seems distracted by something in her head. I mean here I am right beside her, and yet I feel like she's miles away. I wish I could be with her. It's a shame though, here she is still fulfilling her duties when it's such a nice day to be outside. I bet she just wants to get out of this castle.

"Umm…hello…is Elsa in there?" I said jokingly

Then she suddenly stops and looks outside the window. I did the same and saw the snowman and the reindeer playing again. I still think that I should be a tad worried that the snowman's alive, but hey I'm not more unusual than he is. It seems that seeing the two gave Elsa another thought.

"Elsa come on, you got to go."

She just stared at the two. She even looks more depressed now.

"…Elsa…"

She proceeded to one of the maids around the castle. From what I heard, she was asking where her sister was.

I know I shouldn't be thinking badly about someone I rarely know, but why would her sister leave someone as amazing as Elsa alone to all these boring duties. It seems kinda unfair. She should be helping her sister, instead of being with that mountain man.

She finished talking to the maid, but she still looked sad. She seemed to sink deeper in depression. I wish I could comfort her, to just hold her hand so she'd know she's not alone.

"Ok Elsa, enough of this…It's time to do your job" She told herself, but I could still hear a hint of sadness in her tone.

"You'll be fine" I said hoping to reassure her. Even if I knew it wouldn't help.

I followed her into the study, and a saw the small duke and the two guards who tried to kill Elsa. I honestly wanted to beat the three of them with my staff, but I know it would only cause trouble. However, based on Elsa's face she had a similar idea. Even when she's mad she looked cute. Her nose was somewhat flaring, and her eyes looked stern, but no matter what she still looked elegant. She took her usual composure and greeted the 3 men.

"Good morning gentlemen, I hope that you and the people of Weaseltown are doing well." She said.

"It's WEZELTON…I mean its Wezelton, you're majesty." said the small man

Hmph…as if that's any better.

Elsa was handling the situation really well. She was so calm and was straight to the point. I followed her as she went to the door until that duke pleaded once more.

"You're majesty if I may, our kingdoms have been partners for quite some time and…"

"That does not make-up for what you have done against me and my kingdom." She said with a bit of force.

"However, these kingdoms shared…"

"I said no!" I was starting to get mad at this small fellow, and seemed like Elsa was starting to get irritated.

"With all due respect…"

"enough…" He was starting to get on both our nerves.

"Your mother and father would hav…"

On that second, I was shocked and filled with anger that he decided to use Elsa's parents for his own good.

"I said ENOUGH!"

I looked at Elsa, her eyes mixed with anger and fear as she looked at her iced surroundings. I wanted to help her, but at the same time I was furious. This little man had the nerve to come in her asking for their trade after what he's done, and using Elsa's parents to get an advantage. I really wanted to freeze that stupid toupee of his right of his head and shove an icicle right up his…well south of his Weaseltown. Though I couldn't, Elsa would be blamed if I did.

I looked at Elsa, who managed to unfreeze what she had done, and I realized she regained her composure and had the three escorted away.

I was happy for her, and happy that the duke finally stopped talking. She seemed to be on her way again until she saw someone. A girl younger than her.

The Princess.
