Chapter 4 Inauguration.

"Elsa, I am enjoying this yet let's get down to business and do this later?" Anakin slowly breaking from the hug.

"Oh Anakin I do enjoy being with you, but yes let's discuss your role in my kingdom". Elsa pulled out the chairs and they sat down. She took out a parchment and a pen from the drawers. Elsa looked at him and spoke;

"Your role as my new consort is follow me to meetings, act as my second in command in my absence, overseeing the affairs of my kindgom, escort me in oversees trips and protect me with your life."

"Not that I need protecting" Elsa laughed she could handle any threat but she knew that she can't do it alone.

"Hahaha, Queen Elsa you are what other worlds needs!" Anakin's eyes sparkled in all his travels as a Jedi only Elsa was capable and independent unlike most rulers he encountered.

"That's flattering! If they were under my rule things will be very different". In her mind she still couldn't believe there were other worlds besides here.

"This role sounds easy enough, I will do what I can!" He stood up confident.

"Oh you think so? We have only just begun I do have very high expectations for you Anakin, I am a very demanding queen and expect the best from everyone including you most of all". She turn to him giving him a serious look.

"The Force will help me!" Anakin assured her.

"I am sure of that, now it's time for the next part of our business." Elsa got up excitedly and motioned for him to follow.

"What's the next part" He asked clearly anticipating something difficult.

"YOUR INAUGURATION!" Elsa spoked excitedly she had waited a long time for this day.

"My what?" Anakin taken aback, he never saw this coming.

"We need to go now, it's almost time and you are dressed splendidly for this occasion, smile Anakin everyone likes a smile."

Elsa unfroze and the door with Anakin following behind her, they came to the throneroom, Elsa took her place at the throne while Anakin was placed on her right side, with only twenty minutes to spare Elsa gave Anakin instructions.

"This is your big day Anakin, you can do this, when I make a statement everyone will kneel, you just need to kneel when I call you, and when I make you my personal royal consort just say thank you your Majesty."

"Haha too easy your Highness! Anakin joked.

"After the ceremony is where your real work begins, it's not easy as you may think but I am confident you are able to handle it."

"Now let's get ready we only have five minutes left". Elsa sat down on her throne while Anakin walked to his rightful place. He somehow wanted this, recongisned, honoured, and respected unlike the order which never gave him a thought.

Kristoff lay in bed the work was harder than usual, making a living off his business was no child's play, it demanded passion and commitment, but he was grateful he was not ruling a kindgom it will be too much for him.

"Finally some rest it's been a long day, perhaps I can sleep for the entire~~~"

The door slammed open he nearly fell out of his bed.

"GET UP KRISTOFF, WE ARE GOING TO BE LATE FOR THE CEREMONY!" Anna yelled she hated being late.

"Anna please next time knock, and what ceremony?" Kristoff puzzled.

"The Inauguration, you know Anakin's new role of consort? Did you forget?" Anna grabbing his hand helping him out of bed.

Then he remembered.

"Oh that! We need to go now Dear!" Kristoff rubbing his eyes, putting on his robes and royal uniform.

"Okay let's go!" They both ran out of the room and race acrossed the hallway, till they finally reached the throneroom.

The throneroom was bigger than before thanks to the renovations made by Elsa, she made sure that everything was of the finest quality, she left out nothing.

Kings, queens, lords, dukes, princes and every respected person was there enjoying the food and wine, they can't deny it was the best quality they had ever tasted. Everyone was having a great time.

Queen Elsa stood there both regal and powerful, her sliver dress glittering this was the moment she had been waiting for, everything was in place now time to reveal the surprise.

"Exactly as I planned, now it's time for the real party to begin!" Elsa rose from her chair looking to Anakin.

"Anakin it's time, stand beside me it's time I announce you to the world!" Elsa commanded and giving her best royal smile she could muster.

"Good Evening! I have a announcement to make, as you know Arendelle has prospered thanks your trade in which I am gladly thank you all, yet I have someone special I will like to introduce!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, meet Anakin Skywalker my new consort!" Anakin stood in front of Queen Elsa and kneel.

A royal guard step forward towards Elsa presenting a ceremonial sword.

"Thank you!" The royal guard bowed and slowly made his way back to his post.

Elsa turn to Anakin, "Do you Anakin Skywalker pledge yourself to devote all your might, your strength and yourself above all to the service of Arendelle and the crown?"

"I do your majesty, with everything I have nothing less!"

Elsa lay the sword on his left shoulder, "I proclaim you my personal royal consort" she lifted the sword to his right shoulder.

"ARISE! MY NEW CONSORT!" Elsa smiled her teeth radiant and her eyes glowing white.

Anakin got up and smiled too, he was enthusiastic he almost wanted to hug Elsa , but decided against it. "Later my queen."

Anakin turned to face the crowd, they kneel and shouted, "HAIL QUEEN ELSA, HAIL QUEEN ELSA! LONG LIVE THE QUEEN! LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!"

"You may rise! Let the feast BEGIN!"

"Elsa you had this planned, since I first crash landed didn't you?" Anakin asked surprised by the way things turned out.

"Haha you implied to me! You are a open book Anakin too easy to read you." Elsa gigged.

"Now you are pulling my leg aren't you?"

"You can never hide your feelings from me Anakin, I am a queen it's my duty to know."

"What else do you know about me? " Anakin cuorius.

"Maybe more than you know, come let's feast I am starving!" Her stomach growling and so was Anakin's.

"Your majesty!" The butler bowed "your private room is ready along with food and Champagne you ordered."

"Thank you! You may go!"

"Come Anakin, the food is getting cold." Elsa walking swiftly to the room, her stomach still growling in hunger.

They entered the room and Elsa froze the doors shut, "We need some privacy for more important matters just you and me, but first let eat!" Sirloin steak, pasta, smoked salmon,a whole Turkey and chicken along with two bottles of champagne lay there.

"I have no idea how this food tastes like, but I am very hungry". Anakin implied as he took some of the steak and turkey , he like the meat more than anything else.

"You looked like you can eat a cow! Seems to me you never eaten royal food before."

"I am usually on the front lines and we Jedi as generals we don't have the time to eat." Anakin slowly chewing his food.

"You! A general, really?" Elsa smiled widely covering her mouth with her hand trying not to laugh.

"You find it hard to believe me?" Anakin not amused by her lack of faith in him.

"You will prove it when there's a war, but I need to know how good you are." Elsa looking at Anakin skeptical, Jedi are peacekeepers not generals. When did this change.

"You will find out soon enough, I would like to try this champagne of yours it's looks good!"

Reaching for the bottle , he use the force to pop the cap off, and started drinking from the bottle itself.

"No! STOP! STOP! You are not supposed to~~~~" Elsa stared at him in shock, already knowing what will happen next, she got up and tried take the bottle away from him.

"Elsa let me have some fun, what could possibly happen?" Anakin ignoring her and drank the whole champagne. "See nothing hap~~~, what's going~~ so.. dizzy~~~ uuuhhhhh must sleeeeeppppppppp!"

Anakin fell off the chair and hit the ground, "Hmmmm, what am I going to do with you?" Elsa placed him on her shoulders and place him on the chair, he fell off again. She checked his eyes, "he is totally drunk, maybe a snowball will wake him up". "Wake up Anakin! Throwing the snowball at him, but nothing happened. "What? How strong was that Champagne?" Elsa examined the champagne, "Gout de diamants! Explains why he got drunk so fast, it was too much!" She laughed out loud.

"Elsa, You areeeee sooooo lovvleee leeeee leeeee!" He suddenly got up and look at her, still tipsy and not thinking straight. "Let's finissssshhhh ourrrrr dinnnnerrrrr."

"Alright Anakin you need to sit down, you are drunk." Elsa carefully helping him to his seat.

Anakin got up walk a few steps reaching for the other champagne, "drunk? Oh no! I am fine, let's toast to our beautiful~~~~".

"Time to sleep Anakin!" She pinched him and he fell straight into her arms, "you have done enough for now, take a rest my brave new consort." Smiling as she closed her eyes and embrace him.

"Looks like I will call it a day for you Anakin, but I will double your workload, while you sleep." She unfroze the door and yell, "Guards! Get me Kristoff and Eugene immediately!" They bowed and summon them.

A few minutes later they arrived. "What can we do for you queen Elsa?

"Take Anakin back to his room, he drank the whole champagne and got drunk."

"He drank the whole bottle? He is not supposed to~~~" they both looked each other confused. "Thats what I tried telling him. Too late he finished all of it in one gulp!"

"We will get him back to his room~" they placed him on their shoulders and left.

"Guards! The party is over dismiss everyone and see them to their respective rooms now!"

"Yes your majesty! Right away!" As she made her way to Anakin's room clearly not finished with him yet. "I hope he is okay, I have never seen a man gulped down a whole champagne before, this is definitely your first time drinking champagne, " she laughed to herself.

Eugene and Kristoff reached Anakin's room, they took out the key from his pocket and unlock the door, gently placing on the bed.

"You will make a fine consort to the queen, I have faith in you please don't let her down" Kristoff looking at Anakin, this man better live up to his reputation for Elsa didnt just trust anyone. He worked hard to gain her trust.

Prince Eugene place his right hand on Kristoff shoulder assuring him, "relax he and Elsa will be fine, I know man like him, he will do well as her consort."

"Let's go back I need to attend to Anna, we have a date tonight". They leave closing the door gently.

Elsa briefly arrived seeing them leaving and proceed to entering the room, she step closer pulling a chair and sitting towards him.

"Ooooohhhhhh uuuubhhhhh! What happened?" Anakin slowly sitting up and looking to see Elsa beside him. "That's one powerful champagne, did I missed anything?" Anakin slowly regaining consciousness.

"You got drunk it was hilarious! HAHAHA! Never seen a man drink a whole bottle of champagne in one gulp!" Tears forming in her eyes and laughing so hard.

"So what did I tell you?" Anakin was still dizzy from the champagne.

"EVERYTHING! You kissed me and told me you love me!" Elsa smiling widely and blushing at the same time.

"I did WHAT? How? I.. why are you looking at me like that Elsa?" He begin to wonder if it was true.

"Sure you did! Hahaha I got you!" Elsa laughed harder this time, and looked at him the confidence in his eyes confirmed she made the right choice in choosing him. Everything was going according to plan just as she wanted.

"Can you walk Anakin?" Elsa asked she had something special in mind for him.

"I am feeling better now and I can~" Anakin slowly getting to his feet.

"GOOD! SADDLE UP WE ARE GOING TO MY ICE PALACE RIGHT NOW!" Elsa got up and took his hand, impatiently waiting for him to move.

"You can let go now I am fine, so where to?" Both of them walking halfway down the staircase. "To the stables Skyboy! We are taking a horse there, I am sure you know how to use one!"

"Ha that will be easy!" Anakin eyes glowing with confidence.

"Let's ride Skyboy, it's a long way there but we will make it in time for dinner!"

"HAHAHA! He drank the whole champagne? This is too good! " Anna laughed she never drank champagne before but this was amusing.

"Kristoff you look concerned what's on your mind? Is it about Anakin again?" She looked at him awaiting an answer. Anakin was a good man to her she had no reason to doubt him.

"Anna I think Anakin and Elsa are getting very close to each other, she trusts him too much, and Anakin he seems to be enjoying the attention."

"So what's the matter with that? It's a consort's duty to be beside the queen at all times, Anakin is up to it he is a Jedi after all."

"Yeah but… " Kristoff looking at his plate, he was losing his appetite.

"Maybe you should be my consort! We can go everywhere together! Sounds fun!" Anna leap with excitement.

"Anna~"

"Kristoff come on, dance with me!" She took him by the hand leading him in a slow dance.

"I am so glad I married you Anna! You are the best thing that's happen to me!" Looking passionately into her eyes.

"No more worrying about Anakin okay?" She looked back at him.

"I promised!" Leaning to kiss her, Anna closed her eyes as their lips met, "Hmmmm!"

"Looks like I am going to win Anakin! You are too slow! Elsa's horse was a few meters ahead of Anakin's, she trained the horse personally in her free time.

"Ha we will see", Anakin closed his eyes and use the force to motivate the horse. Suddenly the horse gallop faster until they were on Elsa's side.

"What did you do Anakin?" No horse was able to catch to her horse for it was the best in all of Arenedelle.

"I motivate him personally and look at the result." He smiled being a Jedi has its advantages this was certainly one of them.

"We re here Anakin, where's marshmallow he was supposed to be here?" Elsa looking around for the giant snowman.

"Who is marshmallow?" He sounds like a giant or something.

"He is a giant snowman and protector of my ice palace, we will find him later. Come up the stairs." Elsa eagerly walked up the stairs elegantly she can still remember the time she thought she could isolate herself to protect them. Now looking back it was all just a bad dream.

"This looks slippery Elsa are you sure it's safe?" Anakin looking at her gravely concerned he didn't fancy falling into a hole or worse.

Elsa knew that look, it was the same look she had when she accidentally froze Anna. But she knew what to do, she was in control not her emotions, Elsa walked down the staircase, placing her hand on his shoulder.

She looked into his fearful eyes, "you can do it Anakin! I believe in you, take my hand we will walk up together!" Her words provided comfort to him, he gave his right hand taking a one step at the time.

After a few steps he got used to it, the staircase wasn't that slippery as he thought, when they reached the top, he looked into her eyes and hugged her. "Thank you Elsa! I was afraid I might fall off."

Elsa smiled and hugged him back, "Don't worry Anakin I am here, come we have matters to discuss." They came at last to the main door of her ice palace. "OPEN!" She commanded. Slowly the doors opened and they went in.

"Wwwwhhhhhhooooooooaaaaaaaaa!" Anakin couldn't believe what he was seeing, everything was made of ice and it was so beautiful beyond words. "This is so.. amazing! Elsa, I am starting to like ice, I… I never thought of~~~~"

Elsa seized the change to make many snowballs as she can, the trap was sprung she had him where she wanted him. She threw a snowball at him, "oooooofffffff, you! That's it I am going to get you!" Anakin smiled looking at the snowballs.

"Don't tell me…." Anakin sensed what was already going to happened.

"SNOWBALL FIGHT!" Elsa threw one snowball after the other at Anakin, he barely had time to dogde them all, "you are so done your Highness!" He picked up a few snowballs and threw it straight at her, most of them hit.

"Ha! How do you like it now Elsa? I am just warming up!" Anakin smiled victorious.

"I am going to get you Anakin! The real snowball fight begins now!" Elsa smile mischievously conjuring a big boulderlike snowball ready to throw it straight at him, "oh no you wouldn't Elsa" Anakin saw a staircase and started running up.

"Get back here Anakin! You can't run from me!" Anakin reached the second floor, looking around he saw a baloncy and hid behind the door.

Elsa soon followed behind, but she saw no one, "Anakin, where are you? I am going to find you!" She walk towards the balcony still holding the snowball in her hands.

"Click" Elsa looked down at the ice, Anakin was right there behind the door. She smiled and started walking backwards behind the wall.

"I win", he walked triumphantly back into the room. Elsa silently walk behind him"GOTCHA!"Anakin tried to run but it was too late. Elsa threw the boulder size snowball at him.

"*Cough, *cough", he got up, "alright your Highness you win!" He smiled, this was the most fun he had in so many years.

"We should do this again sometime, I really enjoyed myself, you are truly the snowqueen everyone says you are Elsa!"

"Walk with me Anakin, I want to show you something." They walked to end of the balcony and looked at the sunset.

"Beautiful isn't it?" Elsa pointing towards the sunlight. "Not as beautiful as you Elsa! You know I like this view".

Elsa smiled and look at him. "Anakin I am a queen the responsibilities of my kindgom must come first before everything else."

"Then let's do it together, show me the ropes and I will help you with all my power!" Anakin place his hand on her shoulder and smiled.

"You are just too good to be true Anakin" She smiled looking at him in the eye.

"Yet here I am Elsa just as~~" Elsa placed her arms around him and embrace him, Anakin hugged her back. "Elsa you are full of surprises" he thought. "I wished we can stay here forever Anakin."

"I wish that too Elsa! Just the two of us together and no one else".

"What's for dinner?" Anna ask the chef, she was always fond of the food besides chocolates, tonight she wanted something special.

"Turkey, Sirloin Steak, Fish and chips and Lasagna". He replied.

"Very good, you may start cooking now" it was 6:30pm Anna love having dinner, the only time she get to see Elsa and get to talk to her, "Elsa is getting too busy I must find a way to get her attention."

"Elsa, we should go it's getting late and it's time for dinner." Breaking away from the hug.

"Indeed we should go, I am starving!" Elsa motioned for him to follow her and he did walking down the staircase, and walking out of the front door.

"What's that?!" Anakin getting of Elsa and activating his lightsaber, ready to strike if the snow giant made the first move.

Marshmellow wasted no time in reacting to Anakin's aggression, "roooooaaarrr!"

Elsa reacting quickly got in the middle of them. "BOTH OF YOU STOP IT!" Elsa conjure a wall of ice between them. "Marshmellow stand down this instant!" Elsa commanded him.

"Anakin this is marshmellow my palace guardian". Anakin nodded. "He's big! For a giant snowman".

"We should get~~~ Anakin whats that?" Elsa looking at the lightsaber, it was unlike anything she ever seen the glowing blue emitting, she wanted to know how was this possible.

"Oh this? It's my lightsaber, all Jedi have it here take a look." Anakin placing his weapon in her hands.

"Impressive so this is the weapon of the Jedi?" Vrroommmmmm, vrooooommmmm, vrooooommmmm. Elsa swang the weapon around a few times, "Under someone's skillful hands this is a powerful weapon. I will keep it" deactivating the saber, holding it in her right hand.

"What are you going to do with it, we are not in war." Anakin looking at her eagerly.

" Anakin, I am going to test what it can do, I must know more, come Anakin I am sure you have a spare somewhere."

"Marshmellow, return to the palace I need you there at all times!" Marshmellow nodded.

They got on their horses and left for the castle, looking forward to the delicious dinner awaiting them.
