So sorry for taking so long to update ! Life took over and I wasn't pleased with this scene so I wrote it again and again. The good news is that I just finish my internship so hopefully I'll have time to update more often! Thank you for sticking with this fanfiction and I hope you'll like this chapter!

« You killed her ! »

« Robin, you knew who I was back in the Enchanted Forest from the beginning, I never lied to you ! I killed hundreds of people, ripped children from their home! She was…she was one among many others! »

Elsa, hidden behind a big trunk, couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her mother had killed her father's wife when she had been in crazy evil queen mode?! She was sure her mother never knew about that. After all, from what Elsa knew about her parents' life in the Enchanted Forest, Robin's had been the life of an outlaw, running from knights –including her mother's black knights. Thinking about it, it wasn't unlikely that Marian had crossed the Evil Queen's paths. But Elsa couldn't help but think, as evil as Regina had been at that time, Marian surely did something to get herself executed.

"But Regina, she's my wife, Roland's mother!"

"Do you think it doesn't pain me? But how was I supposed to know that? And anyway, you perfectly know I used to do unspeakable things to anyone I caught helping Snow-White!"

So here was the justification. Marian had been reckless enough to stand against her mother's desire for revenge when she was the evil queen.

"I'm not proud of this but this is who I was. Who I am".

Robin replied gently. "Don't say that. I know you've changed. But…do you regret it? Killing Marian?

"Don't be absurd, she's not even dead. She's actually very much alive".

"Regina… if you had killed her, would you regret it?"

The voices stopped for a few seconds. Finally, Regina sighed.

"I'm glad Roland has a mother. But …what do you want to hear Robin? Why bother about a past no longer real? You know I would make a different choice now. But if you want me to say that I'm glad Emma rescued her and thus prevented your wife from dying at my hands, I won't. How would you have reacted if Daniel had suddenly reappeared out of nowhere and I wouldn't even have spared you a glance? You want me to be completely honest? If I was given the choice now, of course I wouldn't kill her. But, at that time, in the enchanted forest … I wish I did".

Elsa knew there were hidden words within her mother's speech because she had known her for 21 years. She knew Regina was happy Roland got his mother back but that she had been heartbroken to see Robin run towards Marian and to hear Roland call her 'mama'. After all, because of Marian's return, she was without her love. But the truth was, despite Robin being Regina's soul mate and the first person she had opened up to for years, he didn't know her enough yet to understand the unspoken lines.

"I beg your pardon ?!"

Elsa felt they were reaching a deadlock situation. She had to intervene before it was too late. So she did what her guts told her to.

But being a magical child born from true love, trusting her guts meant one thing: magic.

Elsa gestured towards a tree next to her parents and froze it, stopping their argument and making them turn to see who had cause the freezing.

Elsa didn't wait to throw her hand at another tree, and another, all of this while crying for help, making it look like it was completely out of her control.

She started to create a small icing storm out of thin air before Regina, who had finally detected the source of this bustle, reacted and imprisoned Elsa's hands with a magical rope.

Elsa immediately stopped, looking at Robin and Regina with panicked eyes. If she wanted to get close to her parents, appearing like the new threat in town was certainly not going to help but she had to be the source of a problem sufficiently important to make her future parents put their differences aside. To do so, everyone had to believe she was having difficulties controlling her powers.

Regina narrowed her eyes before approaching Elsa warily.

"Who are you? And how did you get these powers?"

Elsa stared at her and wondered why on earth she had decided to go for this crazy idea. Anna would be proud, surely.
