A/N, this is a chapter that was not originally planned into the story to begin with but I felt like splitting Elsa meets Ticf into two chapters and I named this one a different name than Elsa meets Ticf part 2. Hope you enjoy.
Chapter 7: Royal Council Meeting.
Ticf ran past several servants on his way to the royal council meeting room where Queen Elsa was waiting for her council to arrive. When Ticf arrived, he was expecting the meeting to already be on the way, he forgotten that Earth citizens are not like Hell and Heaven citizens. He entered the room in a hurry, knocking Elsa onto the ground. Elsa looked up from where she laid on the ground and was angry at the man for not knocking before he entered. Ticf held out his hand to help the queen up off the ground but Elsa just refused his helping hand. Ticf than calmly walked to the dark corner of the room and leaned on the wall for the time being.
Every member of the council walked into the room an hour or two later and took their respectful seats on the table. They all waited for Queen Elsa to explain why this meeting had to take place. Gordon and Susan walked into the room, which made every member of the council nervous because neither one of these guards have ever walked into the royal council meeting room before. One of the counts in the room was the first to speak, "your highness, may I ask for why both of your most trusted guards are present in the room and also why you have called for this meeting."
Elsa sat up straighter in her chair as both of her guards made their way to her sides. "Count Fjord, I called this meeting because a matter has come to hand about both a stranger and why they come so close to Anna's death's anniversary" Elsa spoke softly to the count.
All the members of the council looked at each other, they didn't understand why this would have to involve them. The only baroness in the council spoke first out of the other members of the council, "your highness, why is this a concern for the royal council of Arendelle, if it bothers you that a stranger has arrived so close to the anniversary, why don't you just tell them to come after the event."
This caused Elsa and the other members of the council to rise their eyebrows. None of them could answer this question except the queen herself. Before Elsa could answer, everyone heard movement from the darkest corner of the room. This didn't surprise Elsa but to everyone's surprise, it didn't surprise Gordon. They all watched as a figure walked out of the shadows wearing a hood making nearly everyone in the room jump as they feared the figure was going to kill them. Elsa finally spoke to the council members about who this figure was, "this is the stranger I was talking about. He goes by the name of Prince Ticf and he has proposed the common treaties and one other treaty that has only ever been tried once before. Also, Ticf, remove your hood at once, you're scaring my council."
With Elsa's command, Ticf removed his hood revealing his dark skin and scarred face. One count laughed a little to claim his spot speak to everyone present in the room, "this is the stranger, your majesty, he is black. There is no way that he could be a prince unless he is from a kingdom in Africa."
Ticf quickly backfired a response to this count, "my dear count, just because I don't have white skin does not mean I don't have feelings and that I'm not an actual prince, for I am a prince and you did get the location of my kingdom in the correct area on the globe. Also, might I say, how is your sick wife, Count Nick, is she well or did you do the unthinkable yet?"
The count was shocked, Ticf somehow knew his wife was sick and that he had tried kill her to stop the spread of the disease. He was also shocked that the man somehow knew his name. The baron who was a good friend of Nick spoke in Nick's defence, "how did you get that, you don't even know us and yet you got something out of Nick's life so quickly. Have you or anyone from your kingdom been spying on us, I will kill you if that is so."
Ticf smiled at this comeback from the baron. "Well Baron, what is it, oh, that's right, Baron Stephen, may I ask, did you by chance, try to help your younger brother from drowning when you were ten years old or am I just making a random guess?"
Anna's ghost couldn't help but giggle at how Ticf was getting the most regretful things to happen to two of the council members precisely that they all were shocked at his quick responses, even Gordon had to laugh a little at how these two so called brave and flawless men were having the most regretful events revealed to the council. Elsa however was getting fearful about Ticf, due to him quickly saying the very things two of her council members regret the most. Every member of the council except for Elsa herself, had the darkest moments of their lives revealed. The countess had her secret of her sleeping with her sister's husband revealed and the duchess however was the only one who laughed at her secret being revealed, due to it being something she would laugh at and regret at the same time. Everyone started to feel the cold that Elsa was producing for when she was on the verge of crying or in fear. "STOP THIS AT ONCE" Elsa screamed at the top of her lungs.
Ticf stopped as soon as Elsa screamed, he now knew he pushed it too far. He quickly looked at the council before he spoke yet again, "well then, I guess I got a bit carried away there, sorry but you all were getting fucking annoying. Sorry your majesty but your council needs to clean up their act otherwise someone who can get any event out of someone else's past revealed just by looking at them, like me intense, could do so."
Gordon could help but laugh at how polite Ticf sounded when he just told everyone's darkest secrets to the council. Elsa quickly looked at her captain of the guard and then she started to cry, remembering the last time the guard laughed, the day just before Anna's death, at dinner when Olaf was telling stories about his travels in the forest. Snow started to fall in the room and all the candles went out as a wind started to pick up. Susan and Gordon both calmed the queen down before everyone was frozen. As soon as Elsa was calm and the snow and wind stopped and a tiny fireball appeared in the middle of the council's table. No-one without the aid of magic could see the origins of this ball. Both Elsa and Gordon both followed the invisible line of magic that the fireball showed as a way to link up with the one who created it. The council members without the aid of magic just stared at the ball in amazement for it was the one source of light in the room. Elsa was the first to see the creator of the fireball, she gasp to see that it was none other than Ticf. She looked at her guard who was also following the line and wondered if it was only him and her who could see the line. She was the first to speak after the ten minutes of silence, "Ticf did you create that?"
Every member of the council and Susan looked at the man to see if Elsa was correct. "Why yes, Elsa, I did create the fireball, that is why I would like for a treaty in our kingdoms about magic, I know how to control it but you are the only other kingdom with a monarch who has magical abilities. I do recommend that you sign the magic treaty, otherwise I might reveal the one thing you wish you could forget and no I don't wish to threaten you but you need this treaty done otherwise you won't be able to control your magic for as long as you like."
Elsa looked at her council and saw that all wanted to leave this room for one that didn't have a man with magical powers and the ability to say in perfect detail, the most embarrassing events in their lives. She then looked at both of her guards and saw that Gordon was signalling her to say yes to the deal. She took a deep sigh before she said her answer, "Ticf, if I say yes will you please not reveal anything about my past to anyone but me and not to pull off that stunt of revealing my council's secrets again, to anyone but them."
Ticf nodded in response, his plan had worked. He then open his mouth for an extra request, "I agree to not reveal your secrets but I will only do the not revealing the others' secrets unless you allow me to do my family code of staying in the location of a treaty signing for at least three months and yes I know that goes into the event of your sister's death's anniversary but I am a man who likes to stick to my family code."
Elsa knew that she had to agree to this otherwise her council won't have a single secret that should be left alone, left. She sighed again before she answered to the request, "fine, only since it is part of your family code to stay in the treaty signing location for three months but only if you clear off right after the months are up."
Ticf smiled at this response, he had finally sealed the fake treaties and also got the time he needed to help resurrect Anna. Gordon knew that in a month or so he could finally tell Ticf everything he knew about Anna and the resurrection. Elsa was just happy to finally have the meeting over after how intense it got. The council members were happy that Elsa got a way to stop this man from revealing anymore secrets of theirs. Susan was just amazed that she was almost needed for the meeting. No-one predict the outcome of the 'treaties' except for those who knew the truth.
A/N, this will be my final update for a bit due to me having to go on holidays on the Monday after I publish this so don't worry about me not updating for a bit. I won't update for ten days but that is still a long time due to how fast I have been publishing this for. Also I forgot to mention in the previous chapter that I split it up in to two chapters instead of two chapters. Hope you enjoyed for now.
