Okay, this chapter is shorter. Sorry guys! :-( But be sure to read the authors note at the end of the chapter. ;-)
Chapter 14 – The Weakness
Nate Vizsla strode through huge double doors; the great spruce wood was lined with pure gold. The room that followed the entrance was smaller than the doors, but still extremely large compared to your average throne room. Vizsla was currently wearing his formal attire instead of his battle armor, this meeting was important enough.
He knelt before the throne in the center of the room and said, "My lord, I have good news."
The figure Vizsla was addressing spoke in a deep voice, yet it was still slightly tinted with youth. "Excellent. I can always count on you, Vizsla."
Vizsla rose and leaned up against a table adjacent to the throne. "May I remind you, Sire, that I will do whatever you ask, as long as I am paid. Once the cash goes…so do I."
The royal scoffed. "Don't fluster about your precious payment. You will be handsomely rewarded, once I have the Queen. Now, what news do you bring?"
"I have the weakness you requested," Vizsla replied.
The young man gave an evil chuckle. "Wonderful. Do you require payment?" he inquired, although slightly annoyed for having to ask.
"For what? The info? Please! That was like 'Reconnaissance 101' for my warriors!" Vizsla responded, insulted.
The royal brushed a speck of dust off of his expensive garb. "As you wish, but for your sake, I hope you brought footage with you."
Vizsla raised a hand and snapped his fingers. "Of course I did," he replied coldly.
At the sound of Vizsla's snap, one of his Mandalorian warriors walked up with a small comlink/holoprojector in his hand.
Then Vizsla spoke. "So here's the deal: We first checked out her sister, Princes Anna. The Queen loves her dearly, which would make her the perfect target. But unfortunately, the Princess is by Elsa's side twenty-four seven, so we resorted to finding someone else."
"There is no one else," Vizsla's client interjected.
"I thought that way also. But then we stumbled across this." Vizsla gestured to the guard, and he activated the holoprojector. It silently displayed everything from Elsa grabbing Jack's arm, to their kiss, then it froze.
The sinister one smiled. "Interesting. The great Snow Queen has acquired a significant other," he said with disdain.
Vizsla nodded. "It would seem so."
The young royal rested his chin on his thumb and index finger, deep in thought. "Then why is she still having the ball?" he mumbled.
"My thoughts exactly, Sire," Vizsla said. The man still pondered these things, and a moment of silence passed. Then Vizsla spoke again. "Will you still go to the ball?"
The royal nodded, still deep in thought. "Yes," he responded. "We shall see what transpires there." Then he turned to the Mandalorian holding the holoprojector. "You! What is his name?" he demanded.
"Jack Frost sir," the guard replied. Then the hologram switched to a single picture of Jack.
The royal scowled. "I don't take kindly to jokes," he threatened.
"The man doesn't lie," Vizsla interjected. "When I took a score of my warriors to try and capture the Queen by force, this man was also with her then." He pointed at the picture of Jack. "She called him Jack. And later, I overheard her call him Mr. Frost."
"I see." The man stood up. "Leave me. But continue sending information." Then he turned, and paced out of the room, saying, "I must prepare for my journey to Arendelle."
The main bad guy was just introduced as you guys have probably figured out. And you'll only get a few hints throughout the story as to who he is. See if you can guess before his true identity is revealed!
And let me know how you all are liking/disliking my story! Haven't heard from you guys in a while! ;-)
P.S. To all of you with accounts who have reviewed, I thanked you/answered any questions personally in a private message (PM). Just incase you didn't see it and thought I only answered the guests in the authors notes. :-)
