Elsa could barely think properly as she sat in the accused chair looking helpless.
"The defense team was born ready your honor!" Said Angelo.
Elsa found that hard to believe her lawyer. Even worse that she glanced at the prosecutor and saw him make a dark grin.
The prosecutor gave his opening statement.
"There seems to have been a strange turn of events your honor. Eugene Fitzherbert and a nurse have gone missing, and there hasn't been a single trace of them left behind."
The jury was filled with surprised looks and exchanged conversation, and the judge quickly slammed his gavel.
"Order! Yes, that is amazing!" The judge said.
The jury continued talking and the judge slammed his gavel 7 more times. The three lawyers were very much used to that head pounding sound, Elsa wasn't though.
"How could this happen?" Said the judge.
"The only forms of evidence, if you can call them that, were an unfixed bed, a broken arrow, and a wide open window."
Tina stepped up, "They are still pieces of evidence sir, whether you like it or not!"
"Yes, would the defense team like to give an idea of what might have happened?" Said the judge.
Angelo stepped up from the two older lawyers. "I am sure you all heard of the scream from yesterday in this peaceful kingdom, not long afterwards we were told Mr. Fitzherbert was missing."
"So we believe that if an assassin did attack Eugene he may have jumped out the window to safety!" Tina cried.
The jury cried out and Elsa's face went a bit pale with that thought, even if she saw the bright faces of her lawyers.
"Order!" The judge cried after smacking his gavel.
When the cries of the crowd died down the judge took a moment to think. "Yes, that could have happened."
"The kingdom can't afford to search though, the victim may as well be considered dead!" Cried the prosecutor.
"We don't know that yet and we don't believe that for a second!" Alberto cried.
"But the safety of the people."
Suddenly everyone in the room froze as Prince Hans, stepped up witness stand. Tina glared at the sight of him thinking he had business up there and Elsa looked even more frightened.
"If I would king, I would have this parasite problem fixed in an instant, I guarantee that," Hans said with a smile.
"No!" Tina cried.
"You're the one who hired that assassin!" Alberto cried. "You're like a stalker to this kingdom!"
Hans' smile only grew bigger. "I care about the safety of these nice people, would you want them all to die?"
"Anymore wild claims and the defense team will receive a penalty." Said the judge.
Hans turned to the defense team and his smile slowly became dark. "I am the only hope for Arendelle."
The three lawyers glared back.
"I OBJECT!"
Everyone turned to the strawberry blonde haired girl who just entered, Princess Anna.
Elsa's eyes widened. "Anna," she cried.
Anna took a few steps forward and gave a dirty look to Prince Hans. "I am Anna, princess of Arendelle. And I will become the new queen."
"Thank goodness," Angelo said.
Tina smirked at the horror on the prince's and prosecutor's face.
The prosecutor stood up from his seat. "Excuse me!" His voice could cause everyone to shut up in an instant. "Queen Elsa is still a murderer! She should be locked up for the rest of her days!"
"Wrong again pal."
Eugene revealed himself, he felt a bit weird being the star of the show and seeing everyone, but when he finally saw Elsa he smiled, like he usually did.
"Hello darling," Eugene said.
"Eugene!" Elsa cried.
The young queen stood up even if she looked ridiculous bounded in fabric. Eugene was shocked though, to see his girlfriend remove what was considered her metal handcuffs and climbed over the accused desk.
Even if her ice dress became an obstacle she lifted her skirt and ran, hugging her boyfriend first. He held her close and gently and stroked her white braid and then Elsa went to hug her sister. A small tear formed on Tina's face.
"I believe the accused should go back to her chair," the prosecutor barked.
"It appears Mr. Fitzherbert is alive," The judge said, ignoring the prosecutor.
"More than alive!" Eugene said. "And I forgive Elsa, please don't arrest her!"
"I forgive my sister as well," Anna said. "I was hurt, yes. But I healed!"
Elsa grabbed Anna's hands and smiled. Anna was surprised, she held her sister's hands that were cold, but gentle. "And I would like the kingdom of Arendelle to be ruled by Anna."
The judge thought about it for a moment, but then slammed his gavel. "Yes, I will announce the accused not guilty. But she will be forced to resign her title as queen."
"Thank you," Elsa said.
Surprisingly, the jury clapped, and a few in the audience cried, "Long live Queen Anna!"
Anna blushed, "Thank you everyone." She then hugged Elsa. "Thank you Elsa."
The judge slammed his gavel again. "Case closed! What a lovely way to end a trial."
Eugene wrapped his arm around Elsa as Anna hugged her. Elsa was surrounded by the two people she loved the most, everything seemed perfect.
"HANDS UP!" Cried a deafening voice that the entire court could hear.
Eugene turned and gasped at the sight of the man with the black mask. "It's him!" He cried.
He then gulped when the assassin quickly aimed his cross bow at him, his face turned white and has palms sweated.
The judge slammed his gavel and the people of the jury ducked their heads. "Stop this instant!" The judge cried.
The assassin turned to the judge for a moment and the judge ducked for cover himself. "I have a job to do," the assassin said in a dark tone.
The assassin shot an arrow at Eugene, but with Elsa managed to stop the arrow with a quick summon of ice. If not for the ice, the arrow would've scraped Eugene on the face slightly as the arrow just barely missed his cheek.
Hans slammed his gloved hands on the witness stand. "I will pay you to cease fire," he looked at Anna, "If Princess Anna agrees to let me be her husband so I can rule the kingdom alongside her."
Anna froze. "No," she whispered.
Elsa caught on to Anna's pain and fear, she saw that her sister was not yet ready to marry, and would die before she married him.
"No! You hired him!" Tina cried, her eyes burning with anger. "You hired him to take over the kingdom!"
The assassin quickly shot another arrow, this time at the defense team. Alberto quickly pushed Tina out of the way. The arrow seemed like a clear shot but Elsa trusted her hand forward and froze the arrow. The arrow slowed down in front of Alberto and shattered into harmless sparkling crystals in front of Alberto's shocked face.
The assassin turned slowly and then dashed toward Elsa, Anna, and Eugene but was soon lifted up in the air being unable to hurt anyone, and nearly completely engulfed in ice, courtesy of an enraged ice queen.
Elsa powered herself down. "I said I would protect my people."
"Tell me who hired you, right now! Because I am still queen for now and I will have you executed for trying to harm the people and the visitors of my kingdom."
The assassin had a hard time putting words together since he was being freezed to the core. He tried his hardest to reach for his black mask but his hand was bounded, any longer and his body would give up on him.
"F-Fine!" The assassin said.
"Elsa, I don't think he can say anything while he is freezing. Maybe you should stop." Anna said.
The assassin slowly pointed and Eugene caught on that he was pointing at Hans' but it was too late. Hans quickly ran and grabbed Anna from behind, and held a knife to her neck.
"Anna!" Elsa cried.
Hans gave a dark smile. "Surrender your kingdom to me, or else."
Elsa looked down in despair and let her hands go limp, Anna couldn't bring herself to say anything but her blue eyes pleaded.
Eugene quickly grabbed Hans' armed hand and used all his strength to lift it away from Anna. The princess cried in fear and winced away from the two men.
"Not today fancy pants," Eugene said while gritting his teeth.
Eugene's stamina eventually faded, as Hans eventually regained control of his arm and gave Eugene a stab on the back on his shoulder.
"No!" Elsa cried.
Eugene fell to his knees, Hans took a moment to savor his victory until Elsa shot a huge gust of icy wind at him, knocking him back a bit and making him unable to move.
The strength of Elsa's power increased as she angrily continued to freeze him. Ice shards held his legs in place, thick layers of blue frost formed on his face and clothes.
"Elsa stop! Eugene!" Anna cried.
Elsa stopped and had to take a moment to breathe before she knelt down to Eugene who was currently laying face first on the ground. His wound was bleeding a bit.
Elsa moved him to his side and held him. She gasped a bit at the sight of blood leaking out the corner of his lips.
"It hurts," Eugene said weakly.
A tear fell down Elsa's eye. "I'm sorry, it's going to be ok."
Elsa nearly closed her eyes and continued to cry until she saw her hand was glowing ice blue again, but she didn't feel any cold or any type of temperature in particular, but it was gentle.
She placed her hand on Eugene's wound. Her hands quivered a bit as she felt his blood but then the blood felt like it was disappearing. She was actually healing him! And Eugene's pained breathing quickly became sighs of relief.
Elsa smiled and hugged her boyfriend tightly. Eugene still laid awkwardly but he smiled back, and hugged her back with one of his strong arms.
Nurses eventually came after Seija ran out of the court room for help. Much to Elsa's displeasure she also had to unfreeze Hans and the assassin so they could be put into prison until further notice.
After the trial, life for Elsa seemed a lot more beautiful. Anna finally spent time with her older sister again, eating a nice meal, reading books, and building a snowman. And Elsa continued to be friends with her three lawyers as they congratulated Elsa in turn Elsa thanked her lawyers for their dedication and virtue. At the end it all Tina was able to consider the two lawyer brothers Alberto and Angelo, friends. The possibility of the three of them working again would not be overlooked.
Elsa enjoyed the company quite a bit, but she was very anxious to see her boyfriend again. But all the nurses ordered that Eugene would rest in peace.
Late at night that night, one of the nurses told Elsa that Eugene requested she spent time with her. When Elsa came through the door she smiled at the bedridden Eugene who waved at her.
"The ladies were really surprised at your healing powers Elsa." Eugene said as he stroked Elsa's white hair. "I was, by no means cured but if not for you I would be in much worse condition."
Elsa gave a dreamy sigh. "I guess I'm not a complete monster after all." She joked.
"Anna's friend Kristoff said something about how ice can heal," Elsa giggled, not being able to continue her sentence.
Elsa laid beside Eugene that night, the two of them were just about to drift off when Eugene remembered something.
"I wish you were the one who kissed me awake Elsa," Eugene said in remorse.
"What?!" Elsa cried.
Thankfully Elsa was too tired to freak out for too long.
I hope you guys enjoyed...To be honest I didn't think I would enjoy sibling fluff between Elsa and Anna but I did.
Next chapter will be the epilogue...Thank goodness because I am ashamed to admit I am just about tired with this story...Hopefully it doesn't show in my writing.
