Chapter 9 The Big Surprise
"Your face Sirius.. It's changed." -Queen Elsa.
Queen Elsa unable to watch Sirus in agony rushed to help him, putting both her hands on his cheeks she felt his muscles shifting, his facial hair and beard had now fallen off, he yelled out in pain trying to get up, however stumbling to his feet Aisa motioned for Elsa to help him to his feet, both the Queen and the Crown Princess carried him with their hands putting him on the throne while the crowd watched to see what was happening. Elsa had an idea her hands started to glow icy blue, he felt the pain-numbing.
"Whatever you are doing Elsa keep it up! It's working~~ hold on~~ There is something stirring in him, its faint… but… its… growing, what sort of power is this?"
"Elsa~~ I feel… so… so…we~weak… wha~whats… hap~happening to~me~~ I can't feel~~ my han~~hands.." his hair started to change colour, bit by bit. Anna scratched her head in confusion.
"Elsa, his hair, its all falling off.. I am getting a doctor right now!" before Elsa could stop her Anna was already halfway towards the door, pushing and shoving everyone aside. Aisa sensed the power was still growing within him.
"Its getting stronger.. Wait his hair.. It's growing, Elsa you are not going to believe this~" Sirius begin to counter the effects of the spell yet in doing so ignited the power he absorbed from the Snowqueen, the remanents of her power now synced with his creating a huge reaction.
"ARRGGHHH!" yelling in pain as new strands of hair soon emerged from his head, everyone stood still for a minute, seeing his face glow radiantly almost everyone covered their eyes except Elsa and Aisa. Anna arrived with the royal doctor accompanying her seeing the immensely powerful white light she shielded her eyes with her hand.
"Whooooaaa! So bright!" the white light soon enveloped the entire throneroom, it became too much for Elsa to bear, covering her eyes with her hands just before the light steadily begin to recent into his face.
"Sirius? Are you~" at first there was no response, prompting Elsa to worry a bit only to find him on his feet. She saw the light still glowing on his face decided to try again.
"Sirius? Are you alright? The spell has it~~" the light receded, revealing his face, everyone's eyes flew wide open including Elsa, it took every ounce of her strength to keep her mouth from falling open, she stood there both surprised and dumbstruck, his face was different the same with his hair almost to close for comfort.
"Your majesty? Whats wrong?" Aisa cut in, whispering in his ear what had just happened, a tiny smile appeared across his face. Fully aware, he turned back to Queen Elsa.
"Elsa, this is probably the right time to say the spell might have an unintended side effect. Yet the Grand Prince in his own way looks exactly like you, except he is exceptionally more handsome than he was before without the facial hair and beard, this new look fits him well, if the assassin intended to cast a genderbent spell then she has succeeded, don't you think?" she laughed. Before either of them could say a word, the Prime Minister of Britain stepped forward yelling.
"Hail Grand Adjudicator Sirius! Long live the Grand Prince of Arendral!" the others soon follow suit going down on their knees.
"HAIL QUEEN ELSA, CROWN PRINCESS AISA, PRINCESS ANNA AND GRAND ADJUNITCATOR PRINCE SIRIUS! MAY THEY RULE AND REIGN FOREVER!"
A thunderous roar of claps soon follow, getting back on their feet they all bowed their heads in respect awaiting for the Queen to deliver her speech, Elsa stood forward once again doing her best to keep her regal mask on, she took a deep breath.
"That concludes our ceremony, may our nations continue to prosper and benefit from each other in this time of peace.. Now if you kindly proceed to the grand ballroom, the food is probably ready to be eaten, feast to your heart's content!" Anna's phone vibrated, she looked to see what was it about, seeing the WhatsApp text from the delivery service she responded promptly.
"Elsa, I need to take this, see you in a few minutes." Elsa nodded, seeing her sister walked off to the door leaving Aisa with both of them.
"We were attacked again! This time in the throneroom too? We really need to find the source of this attacks or we might find ourselves in the crosshairs of a much larger threat, this attacks won't stop till we eliminate the source, if we don't we might end up being assassinated for good." said Aisa.
"Then I will increased security with more hidden chainguns, more royal guards on guard duty, mandatory security checks around the castle, we will start with the servants to everyone including visitors, if this attacks still persists, we will lock down the castle reduce the staff, subject everyone for questioning." said Elsa.
"Elsa, we should go for the former not the latter, I am still part of NATO it took me awhile but I have absolute control of all spy satellites, we will be able to see, know and hear any incoming threats before they happened… yet do know this satellites cannot predict the future all it takes is one GPS Scrambler and the system goes down temporary." said Sirius, taking out his personal tablet.
"This is great news, all we need now is a strike force, I will take a team of our best men and lead them to attack whatever hideout they are hiding, we will catch them off balance from there I will locate their leaders and eliminate them once and for all, once the head of the snake is cut off, the body will definitely die.." Sirius placed his hand on her shoulder stopping her.
"If I was them, I will be expecting an attack as retaliation this terrorists are bold, devious and cunning, its beyond a shadow of doubt they re well-funded to conduct this kind of audacious attack knowing fully well we have enough power to end them, we should find out who their leader is also what they are truly capable of before we attack them, if we go in blind we might find ourselves losing men, we do not want to play right into their hands, they will expect to be panicking by now, instead we do the opposite~"
"And what might that be?" asked Elsa gazing into his eyes.
"We fortify our position, starting by conducting a nationwide awareness program telling the public about this terrorists, I will inform the police to conduct thorough security checks on our people, while increasing surveillance everywhere from trains, buses, taxis, private corporations, offices, banks airports, public places like schools, libraries, shopping malls, and if it need be even homes, no exceptions but I will leave the security to you Elsa, this castle does belong to you not me." Elsa thought about it, momentarily before agreeing to his plan.
"So we just sit back and let them have another shot at us again?" asked Aisa rudely. Elsa glared at her, shrugging off her words taking her seat on the throne.
"I am not wasting our men's lives on a blind attack without any solid intelligence, Sirius has a good point here, we will place guards on every floor, every inch and every corner, increase security and put in place more automated cameras loaded with chainguns in this castle to ensure our safety, Aisa I am placing in charge of the Royal Guard as Supreme Commander, with one exception, You. Do. NOT. Kill! Is that clear?" said Elsa firmly.
"We are dealing with terrorists.. Fine! I will do what I can to make sure they are interrogated and try not to kill them. If you excuse me, I need to make the arrangements for our new security measures." with that she left the presence of both Elsa and Sirius, watching the doors closed behind her. Elsa buried her face in her hands, letting out a deep sigh.
"She takes our security over the top, maybe we should keep an eye on her.." said Elsa.
"We may not need to, she is just concerned for all of us, including you Elsa.. None of us has the capacity to take your place, Anna can't, she is too naive, Aisa is more suited to command and combat roles while, on the other hand, I could only be a regent at best, but a monarch? I will be way over my head." Elsa nearly agree to all he said, but Sirius being merely a regent.
"Sirius, there is much to do Arendelle has become a bigger place, no longer are we the small reclusive kingdom like we used to be, its time we took to nation-building, your work starts here right now, let's get moving.. I am starving." both royals walked towards the door, the guards seeing them opened the door as they stepped out into the corridor. Elsa found it very difficult to take her eyes off his hair, it was the same as hers even the style and colour were the same with the exception without the braid, to which she was most grateful. She felt a surge of joy rushed throughout her entire body.
"Sirius… slow down…" they both stopped.
"My Queen? Are you alright?" asked the Grand Prince, merely a shoulder-length away from Elsa.
"I…I…think… we should…" Elsa turned her gaze to the floor, doing her best to conceal her feelings for him, however the more she conceal them, the stronger her feelings became.
"Elsa, you are looking very stressed, is there anything you want to share with me? You know I am here for you.."
"Its nothing… I was just thinking of.. What to say to the dignitaries later, just.. Stay by my side.." Sirius nodded while Elsa walked ahead of him by a few steps.
"Indeed I will.. Elsa, I am not going anywhere, not like there is much I need to do, but watch you skillfully talked to them about politics.." joked the Grand Prince, Elsa gleefully giggle to herself.
"You are going to participate in the conversation with me too, I do need your thoughts on what's best for our nation, you have dealt with people like this before, time to put your skills to work."
"Certainly your majesty! Practice always make perfect, we shall see what their intentions are, although some dignitaries.. I believe some may not be honest with us especially since Arendelle has become much bigger, Britain would be a great ally if we can win them over to our side.."
"Having them as a trade partner would do nicely, Arendral needs to not rely on other nations for support, we will build our nation and that means depending little on them to influence our society, in the past we might need to, but now its different.. Arendral will be the beacon of the world." "A wise decision Elsa, we still should not forget Britain can be a valuable ally if we play our cards correctly we certainly can use them to our advantage, think of all resources they have we can use.."
"We are three times the size of great Britain, our armies, navies and air force outmatch them single-handedly, yet you do have a point, I might consider an alliance with them but not now, we need to focus on Arendral first before the other nations, the safety of my people will always my~ I meant our priority.." said Elsa, stopping again this time to admire the portrait of both her and Anna, seeing Anna grinning in her green dress while herself in her signature icy blue dress smiling.
"Oh Anna, if only I had a bit more time for you, we could build a snowman together~ wait did I just say~" Sirius smiled cheerfully placing his hand on her shoulder.
"You need not hide it, I feel the same way like you do.. The times when I missed someone, I think of all the good and fun times we had together, you will have time for her sooner than you think.." Elsa scan his eyes, his tender words made a hole in her mental defences, she felt peace and joy overwhelming her, unable to contain any longer she threw her arms around him pulling him in for a hug. Sirius was momentarily taken aback held her gently in his arms.
"Sirius… you have no idea how much those words mean to me… Anna has been my whole world… without her I do not know what I would do…" Elsa tilted her head to rest upon his shoulders.
"Elsa, I guarantee Anna feels the same way too, you know for Anna to sacrifice herself so that you can live is truly an act of true love defying all explanation." Elsa tighten her grip on him. Her right hand behind his cape rubbing his back.
"Have you been checking out my sister? Well she is already taken by Kristoff… although I am not too sure if he is suitable for him."
"Princess Anna at best is considered, in my eyes as a sister to me, otherwise there is nothing going on between me and her, I do have sky-high standards which I believe is the very reason you choose me as Grand Adjudicator Prince, I think it's also safe to assume you saw something in me I did not see if not I will not be here in this moment with you.." Elsa choose not to reply him yet, but smile joyfully enjoying every second of it with him.
"What about my twin sister, she seems like your type.. While I am just not~"
"My Queen, you should never shortchange or demean yourself, yes your twin sister may have fought in many battles, lead countless armies to victories, but there is one thing she can never have…"
"Whats that Sirius?"
"Your personality Elsa, she can never be you, even if she wanted to, for the main battle is fighting to keep Arendral safe and secure from foreign influence and incursion, if you asked me, you are doing a very stellar job so far!" Elsa for the first time felt flattered and appreciated. Elsa not convinced decided to question him further.
"Do you… well… like her…" Elsa bit her tongue wondering to herself why did she even say that.
"Aisa? She has skills to become a great military leader, but she has a tenancy to take matters too seriously we both know it too well, at best we might just remain friends nothing more, however for all information I gathered over the years Elsa, this contradicts mostly eveything I so called know about you… with all my heart, I do really want to know you better, just not from anyone else… but only from you!" Elsa began to feel his body warming up, his words were like honey, sweet to her ears.
"We will get to know each other better, Sirius.. Tell me, what is it like being the primordial God of Light? Is it more of a clutch than it benefits you?"
"It.. Has its moments, I once thought.. To be here I sacrificed some my divinity just to come here, I had everything going for me, I truly believe I had it all.. It was not until that day when I realise that was beyond true… as a God I can do things incomprehensible by any human, there is a void in my heart which needs fulfilling, like the Supreme Lord Himself said it can only be filled under very special circumstances when it does, my powers would mean almost nothing to what joy it will bring to me."
"Sirius… if you were asked to give up all your powers to be with somebody you truly love and care, would you do it?" Elsa braced herself, thinking this was another worse question she could ask, but she needed to know.
"Without a second thought Elsa! Without a second thought or any hesitation!" Elsa turned her gaze towards the sun, thanking the Gods for his answer knowing where he stood. She noticed snow now had begun to fall only it was not her doing but it was natural snow adding more to her joy. Her trust in him slowly but steadily grew.
"Elsa, I do wish we could stay in this moment for a long time but our guests are probably waiting for us as I speak, we can talk more about it this later.." Elsa agreed, pulling away slowly from the hug seeing him smile, his platinum blond hair glittering in the sunlight. Their eyes lock onto each other for a few seconds before their stomachs growl.
"Our stomachs are getting impatiently hungry, we should go before they grumble again, we shouldn't be far off from the ballroom." said Elsa, walking leading the way while Sirius walked beside her.
"It ought to be around the corner, I certainly hope the chefs had cook more than enough food for everyone, including us, some deserts might be nice too." both of them walking regally down the spiral staircase, not far of from the grand ballroom.
Anna waited at the courtyards, a helicopter soon made its way in, dropping the medium-size square shape cargo, landing opposite of it in the middle of the courtyard, the delivery man emerged from the helicopter, opening the square container, making a quick check on everything she had ordered, her sister's birthday cake, the six triple-double sundaes, ten dark chocolates and ten boxes of her favourite perfumes, she signed the remaining documents keeping the receipt, she ordered a dozen servants to bring everything inside, at that moment Aisa appeared in front of her as a pillar of sunlight. Anna covered her eyes with her hands just as the sunlight receeded.
"So this is what you have ordered? I'd like to see the look on Elsa's face when she sees this… you overdid yourself this time Anna!"
"Whoa.." said Anna taking a step back before regaining her posture, "Aisa, how did you get here so fast?"
"Whenever there is light especially sunlight, I can be everywhere and anywhere at once, the sunlight is all I need to be at any place at any time I choose to be.."
"Thats awesome! Elsa will never see this coming, this will be the Best birthday she will have and nothing is going to ruin this moment, Aisa, I need your help with something.."
The Grand Ballroom linger with the air of food of every kind from lamb chops, steaks, turkeys, rows and rows rectangular tables spread across the far edges of the ballroom, ten big round shape tables and a dozen all full of world leaders, presidents, diplomats, ambassadors and dignitaries filled the entire ballroom, many of them discussing politics but some discussed the currents events of what the future might be for their nations.
"Arendral has grown beyond its small borders for the past few months since the tragic attacks made by those savages, their leader, Queen Elsa has diligently take up the task of assimilating the other Scandinavian nations into the fold." said British Prime Minister Hoffman McAndrew.
"Beyond a doubt the Queen is more capable than I anticipated, many lesser monarchs might be overwhelmed by this major undertaking.." said German Prime Minister Alfred Schiller.
"Gentleman, we must Not underestimate the threat she poses, she has powers beyond any of our knowledge, she might be a Monster behind her regal mask she wears, we may be in terrible danger! Lets not forget what she did to her own country, what makes~" said Abakumova Angela, the Russian Supreme Prime Minister.
"What she did was an accident, now she in control of her powers I am sure about it, for myself she is doing a great job at being Queen, there is no shortage of everyone liking her, I can see why, she is very capable! She is not a threat but a potential friend and ally to everyone, she deserves respect for everything she has been through, the United States will see to it that she gets the best military hardware money can buy." said President Harvey Richardson.
"Mr President, you give her too much credit, she has the power to freeze the oceans of the world and march her armies across the nations, what then? Should we just wait for her to send us all to another ice age if we dont comply to her demands?"
"She will not do such a thing, for everything she has done for her people, clearly shows she is a force for good not evil.. In any case if she does go out of line, we will deal with her the way I see fit do you understand?" said President Harvey.
"You dare speak to me this way?! We Russians will NOT forget this insult do you hear me?! You Americans think you rule the world like the back of your palms! I promise you Mr President, you will regret your cockiness towards me!" shouted Angela, stomping out of the table to grab some more wine.
"She is getting out of hand Mr President! We have evidence from our spies that she is building up her military arsenal, which worries me, with the upgraded Russian military they can take eastern Europe within a short period of time.." said Polish Prime Minister Pamela Bobrowska.
"She is right, the Russian military has grown exponentially huge in numbers, what is stopping the Russians is NATO, Mr President how much can you guarantee that the armies of NATO even with the full might of the American military can aid us should they invade both eastern and western Europe?" asked Greek Prime Minister, Alessandro Carras.
"Mr President, if I may, we all know what Queen Elsa is fully capable of doing, that incident worries me, the power she wields is very godlike.. Seemingly without any known limits She needs to be stopped if she poses a threat to the world including the Chinese, Angela is right, we ought to~" said Supreme Premier Xuan Zhenya.
"Let's all of us calm down, the Queen has not done anything worth noting but with her policies has always been of peace, mutual cooperation and prosperity, she has doing all she can for her people, there is no reason to see her as a threat, in fact to classify or even to consider her as a threat is blatant over exaggeration." said Singaporean Prime Minister Elias Zheng Long.
"Queen Elsa of Arendrelle has come a long way ever since the incident when she froze her own country including her own people, and her own sister, suffered treacherously at the hands of the deviously deceased prince Hans even had to endure losing her own sister, I was there, I have seen it taken place, she is a good, mature, responsible and benevolent Queen, for me, I intend to trade with her perhaps establish a good relationship as partners if she is willing." said Japanese Prime Minister Yuki Hikaru. The words barely left her mouth, when the announcement was heard, the doors of the grand ballroom flung wide open.
"Queen Elsa of Arendral! Grand Adjudicator Prince Sirius!" all eyes were on both of them, walking towards gracefully towards the throne, everyone rosed from their seats, kneeling to their feet, both Elsa and Sirius turned to face them bowing their heads, slowly one by one they rise to their feets resuming what they originally had done. It was at this point his phone began vibrating. He took a quick glimpse, it was Anna the WhatsApp message wrote;
"The birthday cake, the sundaes are all ready, is Elsa there yet?" Sirius briefly replied her.
"We just arrived, bring in the cakes and everything you bought with you." within a second, Anna replied.
"Will do! Here we come!" Sirius smiled, placing his phone back into his pocket, yet his actions had not gone unnoticed.
"Who was that you were texting?" asked Elsa.
"It was Anna, she was basically texting to check up on you." Elsa hardly believe him, knowing Anna better than he did.
"Your Majesty, its very rare to find woman as beautiful both outwardly and inwardly as beautiful beyond words like you!" Elsa grinned at him, yet she was not buying it before she could speak, the Announcer spoke.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister of Russia!" Angela glared at him also shouted cruelly at him.
"SUPREME Prime Minister of Russia, you snivelling pig." turning her glance to the Queen then to Grand Prince. Sirius felt his anger grew and wanted to rebuke her right there, but Queen Elsa held him back. He reluctantly agreed swallowing his anger.
"Ahem, as your closest neighbour in trade, I believe its only fitting we discuss the terms of your claims to the Scandinavian nations you unlawfully assimulated into your so-called kingdom, so tell me.. On what grounds gives you the right to add what rightfully belongs to us?" Elsa's eyes widen a bit, never before had she witness such arrogant behaviour by any ruler. Sirius spoked first.
"With regards to Russia, the Queen did what she needed to do, the people had suffered a terrorist attack on their nation, their leaders were all dead, which you are keenly aware of, seeing there was no one to lead them, the Queen took it upon herself to bring them under her care, now the people have never been happier." The Russian Prime Minister was not impressed.
"Which is why you stole the lands away from them, what makes you think they are content? I demand you hand over those lands over to me so I can rightfully govern them, they will do better under me than your Queen!" Seeing this was quickly getting out of hand, Elsa stepped in.
"Supreme Prime Minister Angela, it will be wise of you to consider the fact you too assimilated Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia into your nation when you saw it fit your interest, so I only did what you had done, the difference is I helped them while you, on the other hand, drafted them with threats, and I don't tolerate threats even here in Arendelle!" Angela, provoked lash out in anger.
"You are nothing but a Monster!" Raising her wine cup, she attempted to spill the wine in the Queen's face, only for it to freeze in midair before it spill instead into her face. Sirius having enough of this fix his gaze at her.
"You have made your point, remove yourself from our presence… NOW!" His eyes became radiant like the sun, his voice sounded like a angry lion, the floor beneath her started to crack, Angela stunned for a moment begin to back off slowly exiting from the grand ballroom. Elsa stared at him, not knowing what to say seeing him angry gave her a strange sense of security. Before she could say anything, the doors burst opened with Anna and Aisa pushing something resemble a huge birthday cake made of pure brown chocolates with numerous candles lit.
"Happy Birthday to you Elsa! Happy Birthday to you Elsa! The greatest sister I ever have! Make a wish, make a wish!" said Anna excitedly, Elsa seeing Anna grining joyfully, close her eyes, made her wish then blew out the candles.
"HURRRAAYYY! Now for the second part of the plan… Aisa?"
"Anna, what plan?" asked Elsa, her regal mask still on.
"You will see! Aisa?" the Crown Princess nodded, snapping her fingers, mass teleported everyone towards the royal courtyard, standing before them was a huge object wrap in fine red cloth. Anna stood before them on the platform ready to deliver her speech, taking up the microphone from the table and placing it in her ear began.
"Elsa, you are the best sister in the world, I would trade everything for you, without you I am incomplete, even though we may not see eye to eye sometimes, but nevertheless.. Elsa, you are still my sister.. And I Love You!" one by one, everyone clapped their hands, Elsa and Anna looked at each other lovingly smiling, Sirius felt the connection they have for each other through his eyes, their love was like endless streams forming into a great waterfall.
"This gift is for you Elsa! Kristoff.. Its time!" Kristoff rip away the red cloth as it fell to the snowy ground, both Sirius and Elsa flew wide open, their mouths opened wide, they were not alone, many did the same.
"Ohh Wow!" said Elsa.
"Indeed… WOW!" said Sirius, there stood a statue of both Elsa and Anna standing together, Elsa's right hand pointing towards the sky, her left hand on her sister's hip, the Snowqueen's face smiling with love towards her sister. Anna's left hand intertwine with Elsa's right hand, her head slightly lower staring her elder sister's eyes.
"This is a.. Masterpiece!" Sirius walked towards Elsa.
"Its very inspiring beyond words, maybe you like a word with your sister?" Elsa titled her head to face him.
"I have a better idea.." Elsa tapped her foot on the ground, ice soon formed over the entire courtyard, giving everyone skating shoes, she pulled his hands preventing him from falling, he stood up regaining his balance.
"Do you know how to skate Sirius?"
"This will be my first time, although I'd prefer we do~"
"Come on!" Elsa took his hands, guiding him step by step, he steadily begin to skate with her.
Supreme Prime Minister Angela, made her way towards the toilet, revealing her true identity, snapping her fingers, her clothing soon changed into a black dress, wrapping her brown hair into a bun she walked out of toilet, teleporting herself towards the prison cells, there stood Kai, the assassin she send appearing before them, the Witch stared at both of them her eyes promising eternal destruction, however this was just the tip of the iceberg.
