Authors note: After the big victory Queen Elsa assembles both Royaldelle and Arendelle in a meeting to determine the future of both Kingdoms. This is the final chapter of this story, thanks to all those who have viewed and followed even favorited, means a lot to me. What will the future entail for the sisters? Let us join in on the meeting and find out.

CH.11: The two kingdoms

"Emperor Hans is dead," Elsa began the meeting, grim faces turning to look at her in shock. She let that sink in before continuing. "It was through the brave and noble sacrifice of Arendelle's own Kristoff that he was stopped before the invasion of Arendelle could begin-."

"Wait…Kristoff served the Emperor," a confused nobleman stated.

"Yes he did, and in so doing betrayed our Kingdom. Kristoff did not survive the crash, though if he did he would answer to his war crimes among both our council." Elsa saw some ease at this, though some were still a little concerned.

"So, if things had gone according to plan there would be an alliance right now between our two kingdoms?" A woman with long white hair frowned.

"Hans was a power hungry individual set on dominating both Kingdoms, he has shamed his father and grandfather for their way was peaceful and conducted with high regards for the safety of those who served Royaldelle-."

"How would you know anything about that?" A older member shot. "You have only been Queen for a few years, such a youth could never understand the past."

"My sister has shown compassion for her people and led a life of example. Can the same be said about Hans?" Anna slammed her hands on the table and heard gasps throughout the room.

"Thank you Anna…that will be all." Elsa quietly motioned for her to sit and met the eyes of the older council. "My sister, while speaking out of term, has valid points. I rule my Kingdom with a kind hand, never waving punishment lest it truly deserved."

"While we have your sister as the topic…what actions will be taken against her?"

Anna let out a gasp and Elsa didn't bat an eye. "And what do you suggest?"

"Well…exile seems the best option. I mean she did betray the Kingdom and go over to Royaldelle, charges have to be brought against her."

This came from one of Arendelle's own and chatter ran rampant over this. Elsa took a breath and calmed her nerves. It was quite clear now they wanted someone to blame. A scapegoat, and with her sister exiled it would only hurt her. No, there had to be a better way for it. Meeting the eyes of everyone in the room she let her gaze rest on Anna last.

"Emperor Hans is gone…and it is a sad loss for your Kingdom, for that I cannot atone. We are here to discuss your government and who is right to lead your people, fill in his absence. Matters that concern my sister are for me, and me alone to answer for, are we clear?"

"Ok, fine, Hans was not the greatest guy…and I admit him creating the title for himself was a little unorthodox, still, much of his ways held value among us." The Nobleman addressed folding his hands on the table.

"Then keep the values, just find someone respectable and aware of the people's needs before filling in that seat. Both of our side will need to do damage control before we can truly function as a Kingdom again." Elsa walked around the table and placed a hand on the back of Anna's chair.

"How do you propose we move on after this? The casualty rate is high and tension is surmounting even now in Royaldelle, we are afraid we will have a rebellion on our hands-."

"If it will help quell the rebellion I will send a diplomat over to ensure peace is kept…for the time being. It will take time to heal these wounds, and I will tell you now it will be a long drawn out process, but at the end of the day…long as you are honest with the people everything will be alright."

This seemed to calm some of the people down and Elsa let out a breath of relief. Sometimes she even wondered if she was meant for this. Her mother ran this Kingdom so well as Queen, it made her wonder if Anna perhaps would make a better Queen. Looking around as she realized her part in this affair was over she cleared her throat.

"I will leave this to you now…talk amongst yourselves and find a peaceful solution…the room is yours." Elsa dismissed herself as she went out to the balcony.

Anna followed her and saw her sister looking out at Royaldelle. "Hard to believe we were at war just a few days ago."

"Yes…it makes me realize just how fragile a balance we live in society really is. Anna, have I made the right calls?"

Anna smiled as she walked up behind her and looped her arms around her waist. "Elsa, you have made all the right calls, what has come over you?"

Elsa melted into her hold and placed her hands over hers. "I just figure…someone else would be better running this Kingdom, maybe you-."

Anna laughed lightly, her laughter musical to her sister's ear as she pressed her face against her neck. "I'm too young and impulsive to be seated behind a table filled with old people. See…I don't even have a filter for my mouth. Elsa, if mom and dad were alive…they would be so proud of how you handled things."

"I wonder," Elsa said to herself, to Anna, "thank you for those words Anna…they mean the world to me."

"What are sisters for?" She gave a big smile and took a breath as she summoned the courage for what she was about to say next. "Elsa…about us…"

Elsa turned around to face her and looked deep into her eyes. She could read the wavering hesitation shimmering in her eyes and her lips suggested an unspoken question she knew. It had been one crazy adventure, but, one thing had always remained true. "I love you Anna…and I want you to be part of my life…and more then the sisterly variety-."

Anna's heart leaped for joy and she wrapped her arms around her neck pulling her into a deep kiss. Holding the kiss for long as possible she only pulled back as a gnawing thought pressed into her brain. "Wait…just wait a second…what about the Kingdom? Surely there will be those who oppose of such a union?'

Elsa wore a warm smile and ran a finger lazily through her hair. "Regardless what time period it is, I imagine our love will always find opposition in some form or another, what makes it all the worthwhile though is we beat the odds everytime."

"Now that is why you are Queen," Anna smiled as she placed her head against her chest. Taking a breath she could hear the argument stewing in the room. "Should we go back in?"

"I was thinking of retiring to my quarters…correction…our quarters. Care to join me?" Elsa moved away wagging a finger in invitation towards Anna. Heading off she waved off the tabled diplomats as they asked for her opinion. The future was always uncertain, moving day in and day out to ensure some part of that future was bright, Elsa knew with her sister by her side such a future will exist, shall exist…today was just the beginning.

Authors note: I hoped you enjoyed my second Elsanna tale. Sci-fi, especially with Elsanna, I admit it was a tad out there. Still, I couldn't imagine telling this tale in any other shape or form. Thanks once again to all those who have followed and favorite this tale, and of course viewed it.
