Chapter Nine

Three months. It had been three months since the time Elsa and Anna had met the princes of the Southern Isles. Three months since a war had nearly started between Arendelle and the Southern Isles. When Christian and Thomas had found out about the spell that the trolls had placed on their youngest brother, the brothers wanted to destroy the trolls. Edmund had nearly joined them as well. They had come very close to killing the magical creatures. It was a good thing that Hans had showed up before they had had a chance to. He nearly burnt Arendelle but he had kept the war from breaking out.

Anna looked out the window. A smile crept upon her face as she saw Kristoff talking to Sven. The strawberry blonde haired young woman let out a sigh. She stood up and slipped her feet into her shoes. She ran out the door and slid down the stair's rail. She had not seen Kristoff in a week since he had been harvesting ice last week.

Elsa let out a moan as her younger sister had fallen on top of her as the queen had been walking by the stair. "Anna!" She exclaimed.

"Oops! Sorry," her sister replied. The princess immediately got up and extended her hand toward her older sister.

Elsa took it and pulled herself up.

"Are you all right?" Anna asked.

The Snow Queen nodded. "I am fine. Where are you going?"

"I am going to go see Kristoff and Sven!" She said excitedly.

The older sister grinned. "Have fun!"

"I will!" Anna yelled as she ran toward the door.

Elsa shook her head and smiled as she looked at the envelope that was in her hand. She walked up the stair and went into her room. She sat down on her bed and opened the envelope and took the letter out.

Dear Elsa,

In your last letter you expressed your deepest apologies for what the trolls had done to Hans. We have forgiven them (well I have), but Christian and Thomas are still angry at them. I am just thankful that Hans is alive and not hurt. He is getting better at controlling his powers. Joan has been a big help to him. It is good to see him have some confidence about himself.

Concerning your invitation to the ball, I would love to attend. My brothers have accepted other invitations to different balls so it will be just me who will come. I am looking forward to seeing you in a month. Hopefully, this mess between us and the trolls can be resolved during that time.

Are you over your cold? Anna wrote me and said that you had had a cold. She said that every time you sneezed little snowmen or was it snow people that popped up? I apologize for that. Tell Anna I am sorry that I did not make it to her birthday party. I had planned on being there but the King and Queen of Denmark came to our land during that time so I had to stay to greet them and attend the trade meeting as well.

I hope that you are well! I will see you in a month!

You friend,

Prince Edmund of the Southern Isles

Elsa smiled as she read the letter and shook her head. She should not have been surprised that Anna told Edmund of her cold. She was a little embarrassed about but she could talk to her sister about that late. She got up from here bed and walked to her desk. She opened the drawer and pulled out a piece of paper from the drawer. She set the paper on the desk, sat down, grabbed her quill, and began to write her reply.

Anna laughed as Kristoff picked her up and spun her around in the air. She grinned up at him when he set down. "I missed you," she told him.

"I did too," the blond haired man replied. He looked up deep in thought for a moment. "W-Wo-would you like to go on a picnic with me?"

His girlfriend nodded.

They both held each other hands and walked to toward the castle to go to the kitchen to grab a picnic basket and to make some sandwiches.

Author's Note: I am so sorry for not update fast enough. I have super busy lately. I am doing my last semester in college and have been busy with homework and my internship. I am sorry. I hope you enjoy this!
