I stood by my throne as I greeted all the guests coming to this event. It was pretty standard; say thank you for coming after they bow and kiss your hand. I wouldn't have minded it as much if I didn't have to pull a smile every time I had to greet another.

"Good evening Your Majesty." The Duke of Everden greeted me. He took my hands and kissed the back of it, I tried to hold another smile despite the pain on my cheeks.

"Good evening. Thank you for coming." I greeted. He walked away to talk to some other people.

"5 out of 10." Anna said from right behind me. She was scoring each man who came up to talk to me; so far she's scored 15 different men.

"Anna, seriously. Why are you doing this?" I whispered.

"You need someone, Elsa. Come on, is it bad that I want my sister to be happy?" Anna pouted.

"I don't need help with whatever this is Anna, just let me be." I said. "Go find Kristoff! Dance, or whatever. Just get going."

"Fine! Go find love your own way." My sister said as she shooed me away.

"I'm the Queen, I should be shooing you away." I joked.

"I am your younger sister and I get to be annoying to the older sister, even if said older sister happens to be the Queen."

"Excuse me, am I interrupting?" A man's voice asked from behind me.

"Not at a-" I started but stopped the moment I saw him. He had the bluest eye's I've ever seen. He had longer brown hair that almost went to his shoulders, but it looked nice on him. A strong jawline accompanied with a smirk-like expression on his lips. Straight up, he was really handsome.

"Ten..." was all Anna could say.

"I'm beg your pardon?" he asked.

"Hello." I interjected. "I mean, good evening. You are?"

"Forgive me for the introduction. I am Julian, Duke of Elrondey. Thank you for having me here today Your Majesty." He bowed.

"Please, just call me Elsa." I said with a smile. This time I didn't have to pull a fake one, but we both just stood there smiling at each other for some time.

"I'll just leave you two alone then." Anna said as she began to walk away.

"I'm sorry. Where are my manners? This is Princess Anna of Arendelle." I introduced.

"Could you excuse us please?" Anna cut in as she pulled me away from my position. When we were far enough she started talking.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"What do you mean what am I doing? What are you doing? I was greeting him like I did everyone else." I said.

"This is your chance. It's not love... yet. But you can make it your love." Anna cheered.

"Anna! You can't be serious."

"Elsa. Please just try it." Anna pleaded. "I just want you to be happy." She gave me her pleading eyes... They never actually worked on me, but I knew that if I didn't give the response she wanted then she would never let me live that down.

"Fine!" I said walking away.

"Good luck." Anna whispered before turning me around and pushing me in the right direction. I walked back to Julian, knowing that she would be watching until I reached him.

"Sorry. Anna just wanted to know if I knew where her... lover was." I lied.

"Oh, well alright then." Julian replied. I tried to think of something before any awkward silences could take its place.

"Would you like any refreshments of some sort?" I asked trying to keep my voice straight.

"I wouldn't mind something." He said as he unexpectedly took my waist and guided me. After getting a few things to eat, we went to find a more private place to talk. I didn't think it was necessary for others to see the Queen… do this. We talked through the night about anything we could really think of. He told me stories about his greatest adventures, from across the seas to the highest of mountains. I on the other hand didn't have many other enticing stories, so I just told him stories of Anna and I.

"Must be nice to have a younger sister here all the time." He said after I told him about today.

"Oh, are yours never home?" I asked.

"I only had one older brother... but, uh, he passed away a few years ago in a fire." He explained.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be. It was an accident; it couldn't be helped." I got the feeling that he had something to do with it; I did sympathize with him for an obvious reason.

"I understand how you feel. I had an accident with my sister recently; she nearly died because of it." I said.

"Yeah, we all know that story. Your kingdom is now known as the most powerful kingdom." He responded.

"I don't necessarily understand how. Our military is just like our allied kingdoms."

"Because you made it the most powerful." He took my hand and looked me in my eyes. I was dragged into a trance when I felt his warm finger tips against my cold ones. It felt nice, very comfortable. I was fairly surprised by the connection we felt so soon, however, my trance was broken when I started to hear constant murmurs around us. People must have begun to wander out of the ballroom and outside to the garden where we were. I began to pay attention to what they were saying.

"She's a witch."

"She'll destroy everything her father worked for."

"She doesn't belong to the throne."

"She doesn't deserve to be Queen."

"You know the people of Arendelle are just waiting for a mistake to begin a revolution."

"My Queen?"

I quickly snapped out of the state I was in. Julian had a concerned expression on his face.

"I'm sorry." I said to Julian and I looked down and let go of his hand.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Just-" I saw different sets of eyes turn to us, I had to leave. "Excuse me." I said walking away before the tears could spill over my eyes. I quickly ran through the door and into the study hall. I let the tears spill over my face the moment I shut the door, and snowflakes began to fall the moment I sank down to the floor. Great, what's next? I lose control and drop the temperature of the entire kingdom again?

Okay, I needed to calm down before that happens. I got up from the floor and walked towards the window to take a look at the view it gave; A lake with a few trees in the area. Some days I would freeze it and skate on it alone. Then I started to rethink of the lords from other countries calling me a witch.

"They'll never understand." I sighed as I sat down. I stretched my hand out on the desk and felt something bump into my fingertips.

The book Anna had found, a Jack Frost story. I opened the book, and I saw a picture of stoic figure standing on a hill, watching over a village he had cast a winter upon. He looked happy with his work, yes; but there was an emotion hidden in his eyes, loneliness... just like me.

"Only you'll be able to understand what it feels like." I said as I touched the face in the picture. "Why can't you be real? That way we could be alone together." I sighed as pushed myself off the chair. I looked in the window's reflection so I could wipe off any extra tears, I couldn't afford to look distraught especially now. I took one last like at myself and made sure to take a few deep breaths to calm down, but then something happened in the window.

In a panel of glass, frost started to spread all over the window, then down onto the grass. I was debating on whether I should be worried as there was no way that could be me doing that. The ice traveled over the grass to make a path towards the lake. The next thing I knew I was running out the nearest door to follow the trail. When I reached the lake, the ice had already begun to freeze the surface.

"How-? What-? This isn't me." I said as I took a cautious step on the ice. It was solid like how I would make it to skate.

"How?" Just as I asked, a snowflake glowed in the centre of the lake. I walked towards it and the glow began to dim into a dot in the centre of the ice. In that spot, there was something being written on the frost. I had to force myself not to panic the moment I saw the little script by my feet.

Hello.
