Chapter 9 of Return of the Wolf Knight. This will involve the wedding of Elsa and Jason, Jason being crowned king.

I own only my original characters, nothing else.

News of the engagement of the Snow Queen and the Wolf Knight had reached far and wide. While some were surprised hearing this, as they believed that the Queen had a frozen heart, others couldn't be happier.

Kai and Gerda was working day and night to arrange the wedding quickly. Anna helped them out as best she could, while she continued to train.

Rapunzal, Eugene and their son were sent back to Arendelle to represent Corona as Arendelle's ally. They were overjoyed by Jason and Elsa's engagement, and Rapunzal soon decided to help with the planning. With the wedding now only two days away, Eugene, Jason and Kristoff waited for King Eric and Queen Ariel of the Southern Isles to arrive.

"In all honesty, I'm actually looking forward to seeing Eric again," Kristoff said, and Eugene nodded in agreement.

"Me too," Jason said. Then he noticed something, a small boulder with moss all over and a face, gesturing him to come over to him. "I'll be right back."

"Okay," Eugene said.

Jason walked into the alley that he saw the shape and he finally got a clear view and saw that is was someone he had not seen in a very long time.

"Hello, Grandpabbie," he said. "Sorry I didn't come to see you, things kept on coming up."

"It is quite alright, Jason," the leader of the trolls said. "Kristoff said that you're engaged to Queen Elsa."

"That's right," he said with a small smile.

"I always thought you two would make a great couple. But on to what I came here for. I've come to warn you."

"Of what?"

Grandpappie walked closer to him and Jason knelt down. "Recently, I felt a strange presence arrive here. Something ancient, more than even Chaos and Order magic. I believe that it may be the power of Fate."

"Fate?," Jason parroted.

"Yes, from Fate came Order and Chaos. Fate determines everything. This presence disturbed me very much, which is why I've come to tell you. Something more sinister than yours and Marcus' war is happening here, maybe it started all of this."

"Which means that it is coming to an end soon. That is why you sense it now, this power is revealing itself. I will keep an eye out, and I will protect our family from it."

"I know you will. Good luck, Wolf Knight," he said then disappeared in a flash of light. Jason walked back over, just as King Eric's ship came in.

"Where did you go?," Kristoff asked.

"Later," Jason answered as Eric walked towards them. He was as tall as Kristoff, muscular, and had slightly long black hair. His wife, Queen Ariel, walked behind him, she was very very beautiful, long red hair, about Elsa's height.

"Sir Jason, Princes Kristoff and Eugene," he said upon reaching them. "Very good to see you all again."

"You as well your Majesty," Jason said, bowing in respect, then. "And you as well, Queen Ariel."

"Nice to see you again, Sir Jason," she said. "You remember our daughter, yes?"

"Princess Melody? But of course," he said. After he said that, he saw young lady coming from behind the queen, the princess. She looked much like her mother, just with her father's hair.

"Well that's good, Sir Jason," Melody said. "Cause I haven't forgotten you."

"Melody, come along, leave the man alone," Ariel said, and she obeyed. The king and soon to be king laughed a little at this.

"So what's this I hear about you marrying Queen Elsa?," Eric said.

"Exactly what you heard," Jason said, making him chuckle.

"Well, congratulations. When is it?"

"In a few days as we want to get married before the war starts. And seeing you made me remember something."

"What?," Kristoff asked.

"I'll be King of Arendelle," Jason said, and the look on his of this realization was priceless. All three of the guys chuckled, but dared not laugh hysterically.

"That's right," Eugene said. "That's kind of how I felt when I married Rapunzal. The thought of me one day becoming king."

"Well, shall we get going?," Kristoff asked and they nodded and they all began walking back to the castle.

"By the way, Jason?," Eugene said quietly so Eric wouldn't hear. "Does you know who know that the princess is here?"

"I thought I'd leave that as a surprise to him," Jason answered, just as quietly, and Eugene grinned.

They all soon reached the castle and Kai and Gerda greeted them. As the two head servants showed the visiting royal family to their rooms, Jason excused himself and he went to go find his bride to be.

He found her where he suspected, in her study planning the wedding while worrying about the war.

"Knock knock," he said and she turned and smiled.

"Hey," she said. "Are the king and queen here?"

"Along with their daughter, Princess Melody."

"I had forgotten they had a child."

"Yeah she's about Anna's age, and fair warning, you might receive looks from her."

"Why?," she asked.

"I had met the princess a couple times during the last war, and I'm quite sure she has a massive crush on me," he answered and a frown of jealousy grew on her face. Jason saw this and he walked up to her and placed his arms around her waist, pulling her close. "Now don't you go and get jealous. I love you, not her. Besides, I know how to deal with that."

"Oh really? How?"

He then whispered his plan to her and her eyes widened.

"Are you serious?," she asked and he nodded. "You and your schemes."

"What can I say?," he said back. "I'm a sucker for romance."

"Am I interrupting something?," Anna asked behind them. They turned to see her at the door, carrying Maura. Elsa immediately blushed and pushed Jason away, who was also slightly blushing.

"No, nothing at all," Elsa said quickly and Anna smirked. "Is there something you need?"

"Oh, I was just coming to tell you that your presence has been requested in the sitting room. You too, Jason."

"We better get going then," Jason said and he linked his arm with Elsa's and they began to walk down to the sitting room. They soon made it to the room and Jason then began to introduce Elsa to Eric and his family.

"King Eric, Queen Ariel, Princess Melody, I would like to introduce you to...Queen Elsa," he said and they bowed slightly in respect, Melody having a slight frown on her face as she saw how close Jason was to Elsa.

"It is good to finally meet you, my Queen," Eric said.

"Likewise, but I must say I was hesitant to have you here, given who your brother is," she said back.

"That's perfectly understandable," Ariel said. "We'd like yo once again extend our sincere apologies for what Hans has done."

"I thank you for that, I just hope that your stay here will turn out better than both of his."

"As do we," Eric said. "How about we get down to business? Ariel, dear? Could you and Melody step outside for a little bit?"

She nodded and led their daughter out of the room, leaving Jason, Elsa and Eric alone. Then Ariel noticed the frown on Melody's face.

"Melody, what's wrong?," she asked. Then she realized that she was upset about Jason's engagement to the Queen. "Melody, it was just never meant to be. You'll find someone, eventually."

"I know," she said. "I just thought it'd be Sir Jason."

Then they saw a bubbly strawberry blonde princess walking down the hall.

"You must be Princess Anna," Ariel said, and Anna nodded. "I'm Queen Ariel of the Southern Isles, and this my daughter, Princess Melody."

"Oh, hi. It is very nice to meet you both," she said, feeling slightly uncomfortable. "And this is my daughter, Princess Maura."

"Why hello there," Ariel said to her and Maura stared at her wide eyed. "Haha...she must think I'm another you, since our hair looks the same."

They all laughed as Maura tried to grab some of Ariel's hair, then she saw that there was frost on the end of her hair.

"Yes, she has powers like my sister," Anna said, addressing the elephant in the room and they all began to walk side by side. "Just out of curiosity Queen Ariel, and I don't mean to offend, but Jason said that you once a mermaid. Is that true?"

"Ariel is just fine, and yes, I was," she answered. "Even then I was a princess, daughter of Triton, King of the Seas."

"I was a mermaid for a time as well," Princess Melody added.

"Really?," Anna said.

"It's a long story," Ariel said.

"Well, we have time."

Meanwhile

As Anna continued her conversation with Ariel and Melody, Eric, Jason and Elsa were discussing what their plans were for the war, Rapunzal and Eugene had joined them as Corona was a part of this as well.

"Corona will likely be attacked first," Jason said. "It's the closest country to Marcus and has many ports."

"If he captured it, he would be able to reach our countries with general ease," Eric said. "But there is something I've learned about this Marcus, he does have a wife, Queen Amelia. And she's connected to you, Princess Rapunzal."

"What do you mean?," she asked.

"She's Gothel's actual daughter," Eugene said and she went wide eyed. "Amelia, like her mother, is a witch. She was one of the previous Barbarian King's deadliest assassins. I never told you about her because we learned about her parentage until well after the war and I thought it was irrelevant then."

"And there has been no word from the Stabbington Brothers for sometime now yes?," Jason asked.

"That's right."

"That means they likely are working for this Amelia," Elsa concluded. "What about Arendelle?"

"Arendelle is surrounded by mountains," Jason said. "And the journey by foot is long and treacherous. If Marcus were to be attacking here first, he'd be on his way now. But we have heard no word of his armies moving, so he's going to attack Corona first, use the ships there to attack by sea. He sent Hans here to ensure a victory here, turn the soldiers against us."

"He'll likely go after the Southern Isles last," Eric said and everyone nodded in agreement.

"Yes, its very spread out and it would take a long time to conquer," Elsa said. We would have plenty of time to gather our forces and attack from behind."

"Marcus will attack it second no matter what," Jason said. "He wants to save Arendelle for last. If your countries fall, take your people and get them to safety and then send whatever men you have left here, and we'll make a last stand. But Arendelle will send aid to both of you."

Eugene and Eric both looked at each other and then nodded in agreement. Jason then turned to Elsa.

"Does this plan alright with you?," he asked.

"Of course," she answered. "But we'll need to make sure that all of our armies are completely ready."

"The Southern Isles army stands ready at all times," Eric said.

"And we merely need to arm the army in Corona and they'll be ready," Rapunzal said.

"Then it's all settled," Jason said. "Rapunzal, Eugene, have your armies and kingdom ready for an attack. Eric, be ready to assist if possible. But no matter what, Arendelle will be where the final battle shall be. Our own army will be ready as well. We still have about six weeks left, so let's make the most of it, because Marcus will be like the rain that never stops."

After all the talk of war was over, they all decided to find something to take their minds off of it for a while, so Eugene and Rapunzal went to go find their son and Eric went to find his own family, leaving Elsa and Jason alone once again. Jason looked to his beloved and saw she seemed to be very worried, and he placed his hand on top of hers.

"I'll protect the kingdom," he promised. "I'll protect everyone. I may have failed to protect your parents, but I won't fail to protect you."

"You didn't fail them," she said. "You made them proud by coming back. By keeping your promise to them."

"I suppose you're right. But let's not dwell on the past."

"Yeah. We both have our own parties to go to."

"Oh, right," he said, chuckling. "My stag party. Yeah, I reckon that Kristoff and Ethan are gonna be barging in here in three...two...one."

As if on cue, the Bear Prince and Captain of the Guard cake in and grabbed the fearsome Wolf Knight, dragging him away and leaving Elsa laughing.

"I wouldn't be laughing, Elsa," Kristoff said and she looked at him weirdly. "Anna said you're next."

Her eyes widened and then her baby sister and cousin grabbed and dragged her away, followed by Queen Ariel and Princess Melody, who Anna decided to invite.

"You do know once my wedding is done and stuff that I'll be coming after both for this, right?," Jason asked.

"Well you were probably expecting it, my lord," Ethan said as they continued to drag him to the most popular bar in the kingdom.

"Yeah we were gonna worry about that afterwards," Kristoff said.

"First mistake then. Now, can you let go? I'd like to feel my legs again."

They put him down and he got up and led them into the bar. The owner had cleared out everyone and readied a large table for them. Waiting for them was Eugene, Eric and Rapunzal's father, King Frederic, who he and his wife, Queen Arianna had arrived with her. Jason had not been able to speak to him yet as he had been waiting to greet Eric.

"Gentlemen," Jason said. They all nodded in greetings and the rest went by in a flash. They began drinking and reminiscing about times during the last war. They had drinking contests, which always came down to Jason winning, but was always beaten by Kristoff when they were testing their strength, though that wasn't really surprising. They had a lot of laughs, but soon they called it a night, as they had a lot of work tomorrow.

Ethan and Eugene had passed out so Eric and Kristoff had to carry them while Jason, who was merely a little tipsy, helped Frederic get back to the castle.

"Guess Ethan is the lucky one," Kristoff said as he struggled slightly to stay up. "He doesn't have a girl who's gonna yell at him for drinking so much."

"Too bad for him," Eric said and they all laughed for him.

"Well we could all say it was his fault for us drinking as much as we did," the King of Corona suggested, then he fell over.

"Come on, you big lump," Jason said picking him up.

"How is it you're only tipsy?," Kristoff asked.

"Let's just say my father liked to have drinking contests."

"Enough said," Eugene muttered as he began to wake up, but at a very bad time because they found all the girls frowning at them as they saw how drunk they were.

"Hello ladies," Jason said casually, then he saw a snowman behind them. "Hey Olaf."

"Hi Jason," he said giving him a little hug, which Jason returned as best he could. This scene seemed to calm the girls down slightly.

"Oh and before any of you get mad at us, it was Ethan's fault that we drank so much," Kristoff said.

"Uh huh, I'm sure it was," Anna said, not buying it. Then Ariel guided her husband to bed and Arianna did the same for Frederic, while Rapunzal yelled at Eugene.

"I thought we agreed that you'd only drink a little!!," she yelled and he cowered behind anything he could find. "I don't want Jason to see you drunk!!"

"And you, other Jason?," Elsa said getting the wolf's attention. "How drunk are you?"

"Possibly more than anyone else," he answered and this surprised her as he was keeling over. "I'm what people call a heavyweight, while the lunkhead here is surprisingly a lightweight."

"I'm not a lunkhead!!!," he yelled and he tried to charge him. Jason simply moved out of the way and Kristoff fell over, passed out.

"Ugh...great," Anna said.

"Ah, I'll just put him and Ethan in the stables with Sven, I'm sure he'd love the company," Jason said they all laughed at that as he began dragging them towards it.

"Men," Elsa said rolling her eyes, and the girls nodded.

"Who was that Ethan guy?," Melody asked, genuinely curious.

"He's Captain of the Guard," Rapunzal said. "You've met him a few times."

"I have?"

"Yup, he came with me every time I came to the Southern Isles," Jason said walking back to them. "I don't know about you, but I think I'm gonna go get some sleep."

"Same here," Elsa said and they both walked back to their room.

"Goodnight everyone," Jason called out and they all waved goodnight and they left for their rooms. Then Jason turned to Elsa with a serious look on his face. "Grandpabbie came to see me this morning."

"Oh really?," she said and he nodded. "What did he want?"

Since he was still quite drunk, he struggled slightly to explain what happened, but she got the gist of it.

"Interesting," she said. "I thought there was only Order and Chaos, though."

"Me too," Jason said as they got in bed. "We'll worry about that after the wedding, goodnight."

"Goodnight, I love you," she said as she cuddled up to him. "Just to remind you, you won't be able to see me tomorrow, until the wedding."

"I know, and it's gonna be a nightmare."

"Haha...you'll survive."

Hope you liked this, sorry it took awhile to write it. Next one will be the wedding. See ya later.
