Anna was not feeling well, she was feeling nauseous ever since she woke up. Elsa was there by her side all morning, they asked a servant to serve their breakfast in their room since Anna wasn't able to walk without a stumbling.
They just lied on their bed until her nausea abated, but after that she felt her stomach turned upside down and threw up all its contents. Thankfully, Elsa managed to find a silver pot nearby for Anna to use. She quickly made a single snowflake and let it float outside their room, as she rubbed the back of her lover.
"Gods, Anna what happened to you?" Elsa worriedly asked.
"I don't know, maybe because of the food I ate last night."
Elsa scowled, she saw how pale Anna was. "Are you sure?"
"Yes I am-" Anna once again emptied her stomach.
Elsa doesn't know that to do, since she rarely got sick. "You are not fine,"
A knock came. "Kristoff? Is that you?" Elsa asked.
"Yes, it's me."
"Come in." Elsa instructed.
"Good morn- What happened?" he asked worriedly as he observed the frost all over the room.
"I don't know, she's like this all morning." Elsa was panicking. "I need you to get her physician, make haste!" Elsa ordered.
"Of course, right away." Kristoff left in haste. Elsa hawed the frost in room.
Elsa poured a glass of water and handed it to Anna. Anna emptied the glass then Elsa assisted her to lie down. Few moments later, Master Osbert entered the room.
"Master Osbert?" Elsa didn't expect the King's physician to enter.
"Princess Anna's physician is out in town at the moment. What do we have here?" he asked.
"She said she was feeling nauseous and threw up for a couple of times."
"I see," the physician had asked Anna questions about what she ate and how was she feeling. He also checked if she has a fever, "It's nothing serious, but I won't take any chances, I'll make Princess Anna a tonic that would relieve her dizziness and I advice that she should increase her water intake since she's expelling generous amount of it by means of sweating and throwing up. If she kept on throwing up after taking the tonic, call for me immediately. I'll be in the infirmary."
Elsa nodded and thanked the physician, but before Master Osbert dismissed himself. Anna spoke.
"Please don't tell my father and brother about this."
"But Princess-" Master Osbert said in protest.
"Please Master Osbert, I don't want them to worry. Elsa will be with me all day."
"Of course I will," Elsa held her hand and smiled.
"Very well, but I'll tell them when the situation calls for it."
"Of course." Anna gave him a weak smile.
They were left alone, Elsa was cuddling with her lover, comforting her in anyway she could. They were silent but Elsa had striked a conversation.
"Anna?"
"Yeah?" Anna nuzzled at Elsa's neck.
"Are we still going to talk to Esmé or just let it go?" Elsa asked.
"Of course we should talk to her. I mean I want to know the reason why she did that. That sly woman didn't turn up for dinner last night."
"I am curious too but with your current state, I think we should ask her when you're better." Elsa caressed Anna's cheek. "What do you say?"
Anna hummed in response.
"Is that a yes or no?"
"A yes." Anna received a peck on the lips, and it made her smile. "By the way, when you were under the influence of that herb thing, your eyes glowed, just like how your ice glowed. So bright, so beautiful."
"What?" Elsa raised her eyebrow. "Really?"
"Hnn really, are you aware of that?" Anna asked.
Elsa shook her head. "No, I am not. I don't even know ..." she trailed of.
"I've seen it many times, I kept on forgetting to tell you." Anna hugged Elsa's waist.
"When?"
Anna had told Elsa about the time they first made love and other times they did it. Anna had observed how Elsa's emotion affected her powers, whenever the platinum blonde was agitated, jealous and any other strong emotion, there's always a change in temperature in the room and worst, frost and icicles. At first she thought Elsa's eyes only glow whenever they made love but she was sure she saw Elsa's eyes like that back when she witnessed Elsa's magic back in Gadleigh, long before they became a couple. That made her conclude Elsa's power was greatly influenced by her emotion.
"I wasn't aware.. but I do know my power gets out of control whenever I am upset and j-jealous." Elsa looked away shyly.
Anna grinned at the cute sight. "No need to be shy about being jealous." she kissed Elsa's chin. "I love you."
"I love you too." Elsa leaned her forehead against Anna's.
The couple were interrupted by Master Osbert, who returned to give them Anna's tonic. Elsa had to persuade Anna into taking the tonic since her princess and medicines were not best of friends. Master Osbert left the couple but not before giving them instructions.
"Please Anna be a good girl and drink this tonic." Elsa pleaded.
"No."
"Anna don't make me force you to drink this." Elsa sternly said.
Anna found Elsa's change of tone... sexy, she blushed and nodded obediently. She drank her tonic but she regretted it when the bitterness spread in her mouth. She drank water to rinse her mouth from the vile taste.
Elsa smiled brightly at her lover. "Good girl." she cupped her lover's face and smashed her lips on her lover's lips.
"Mmh," Anna responded with such vigor. "I mmmiss kissingmm you." she said in between kisses.
Elsa pulled away and giggled. "We just kissed last night,"
"That maybe true but we didn't kiss this morning," Anna reasoned. "Now make it up to me," and Elsa did indulge her lover.
Few hours later Anna felt better. On the other hand, Elsa was worried, she tried to dissuade Anna from looking for Esmeralda but she insisted she was feeling better already. Elsa just sighed in defeat. So both of them where looking for the raven haired woman in the castle, thankfully they ran into a raven haired servant with a mole on her left cheek and gave them the direction where Esmeralsa was. Anna was in deep thought because it was the first time she saw the servant, Anna was sure she knew all the servants in their castle but a moment later she shrugged it off, thinking her father might have hired additional servants. The couple found Esmeralda in the kitchen talking to the servants who were having their break.
"Your Highnesses," the servants curtsied, Esmeralda smiled at them.
"What does the love birds doing here?" Esmeralda chirped.
"These love birds would like to talk to you." Anna started. The three of them went out the empty hallway and talked.
"Please tell us why did you do that." Elsa went straight to the point, while Anna stared at Elsa in amazement on how straight forward she could be.
"Do what?" Esmeralda replied, as if she doesn't know what Elsa meant.
"Esmé why did you lace my wine with that herb?"
"What? I don't know what you are talking about." Esmeralda coolly responded while fiddling with the tips of her hair.
The couple realized they won't be able to make Esmeralda talk.
"Esmé please tell us why? We just want to know." Elsa pleaded. "I swore in my ancestors' names that we won't say a word about it to anyone."
Esmeralda was staring at them with serious face. "Laced your wine with what? Anna are you accusing me of something?" she sound offended.
"No, well..." Anna doesn't know how to answer. "..but why do I get the feeling like you're protecting someone."
Esmeralda's eyebrow raised and crossed her arms.
Anna stared at Esmeralda for a moment. Thinking who could possibly ordered Esmeralda in to do such task. If it's Hans, which was unlikely since he was so protective of her, if it's her friends then they didn't do a good job on doing so because Aurora herself became the first victim. If it's her father...her father. From what she could remember, Oaken was asked by her father to make alcoholic chocolates just for the ball and it was Esmeralda who offered those to her that night. It was also Esmeralda who re-filled her at their picnic, though she doesn't know how Aurora ended up being a victim.
"It's Papa isn't?"
Esmeralda's blood ran cold. She was asking herself if she slipped up while talking to them, she doesn't know how Anna made it into that conclusion.
"Uncle Magnus? Are you saying I am protecting Uncle from this? Whatever it is."
"Just a feeling." Anna dismissed.
"What? Your father asked Esmeralda to lace your wine with that passion herb?" Elsa's gaze was on Anna.
"I think so, but unfortunately you drank my wine and got under its influence." Anna explained and turned her attention to Esmeralda. "Elsa was all over me, not that I am complaining, but still she was not herself." she kept her face straight to prevent her from blushing but it didn't work.
"Excuse me? What did you say?" the three of them whipped their heads on the direction of the voice. Elsa gasped in surprised. Queen Idunn was sporting a curious face. All of them were mortified, especially Esmeralda.
King Magnus was in his study reading couple of papers that required his attention. All of them were regarding the line of succession. Of course, Hans would be next in line then Anna, unless Hans and Carina produce an heir. The Solskinnian dynasty was secured by his two children. He would love to see his grandchildren grow up and would want to teach them, whatever they needed to know, himself.
There was a knock on the door, he gave permission for the person to enter. King Agdar entered just to asked for the progress of their investigation.
"It's slow and we couldn't pinpoint anyone yet." King Magnus sighed.
"I would be hard since we are putting a show of some sorts. The wedding became a great distraction for everyone. When we came here we didn't think it will lead us to this." King Agdar took seat.
"Yes, we all thought everything would go smoothly, but thanks to Count Selberg's actions, the things from the past came to light."
"Indeed." King Agdar responded. "Any progress from her?"
King Magnus smiled. "Yes, I think so. She's getting on something but didn't tell me anything at the moment. I am sure whatever she's looking for it would be a great help for us."
"Elsa would do anything to help." King Agdar has a proud smile plastered on his lips.
King Magnus smiled. "When Hans told me he enlisted her in our search, I was quite surprised, he has explained that no one would suspect her of anything, since it won't be out of ordinary to see her in the library."
"That's true, but...have you told your daughter yet?" King Agdar asked.
King Magnus sighed and shook his head.
"How come? She's with Elsa all day and I am sure sooner or later she would go suspicious and would start asking questions." King Agdar explained.
King Magnus massaged his temples. "I don't want her to get involve in this since we don't know who we are up against."
"Isn't that enough reason to tell her? Because you like it or not, she's involved since she's Adrianna's daughter. If you would tell her then wouldn't be easy for us to make our move?"
King Magnus was pondering. His best friend had a point, Elsa would be able to work without worrying about Anna.
"And since they are always together, no one would take note of it." King Agdar further explained.
"You're right." King Magnus sighed in defeat. "I'll tell her soon after I finish this papers." They were silent for a while.
"Mother please calm down,"
"I am calm, no need to worry."
Both Kings heard a muffled voices just outside the door. And the said door burst open revealing a slightly livid Queen Idunn, and behind her was Elsa and Anna tried to talk her out of whatever she was planning to do.
"Dear? What are you doing here?" King Agdar asked his wife.
"My dear children, would you be so kind and close the doors?" she ignore her husband's question.
The two princesses did what she asked. "Mother, I think Anna and I should go." Elsa suggested but Queen Idunn gave a sickly sweet smile, that made the ice wielding princess shiver. "On second thoughts, Anna and I will just sit next to Papa." The princesses sat next to King Agdar.
Anna, on the other hand was silent and her hands were shaking, she never thought talking to Esmeralda would turn out like this. "Elsa I'm s-scared." Anna whispered to her Elsa. Elsa grasped her lover's and it helped Anna to calm her nerves.
The Queen was standing in the middle of the room, oozing with elegance and dark aura at the same time. Her hands were on her sides.
"Is there anything you want to say?" King Magnus asked with such confidence but in truth he was sweating buckets. The last time Idunn was like this when she thought Magnus was seeing another woman behind Adrianna's back, but it was all misunderstanding.
"There's one." Queen Idunn started. "One question."
"By all means, ask it."
Queen Idunn placed a black velvet pouch on King Magnu's desk. "Do you know what's inside that pouch?"
The oblivious King only furrowed his eyebrows and went to open the pouch. "Powder?"
"Right...an aphrodisiac power to be exact." her blue eyes was staring him down.
King Magnus paled and had his eyes widened.
"Ah now I think you know why I am here."
"Look Idunn I didn-"
"I mean no disrespect, Your Majesty." Queen Idunn hissed. "But finding out that my own daughter was drugged by this abominable substance, I think you would understand why I am acting like this."
"Wait, Elsa was what?!" King Agdar looked at his best friend in shocked.
"You heard me right, she was drugged, thanks to your best friend here." she answered without tearing her gaze to the Solskinnian monarch. "I overheard their conversation with Esmeralda. Your daughter and mine had confronted the Countess regarding the herb."
"I-Idunn it w-was meant for A-," King Magnus explained.
"I am well aware who it was meant to, but it was my daughter who accidentally took it by drinking Anna's wine. Esmeralda confessed everything, it was tough to extract information but being a monarch gave me an advantage." Queen Idunn crossed her arms. "Even if it was meant for your daughter, don't you think it's dangerous to be under its influence since there are a lot of guests here in the castle? They are consenting adults, just let the nature take its course" she sighed. "What were you thinking?" she added.
"You see..." King Magnus trailed off while his gaze landed on King Agdar, who shook his head a bit, before shifting back to the Queen. "I was just.. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done it." he sighed.
The other occupants of the room took the Queen'a sigh as a sign that she calmed down.
"I do not know what's your real intention for doing that, but please Magnus, they are doing just fine on their own, a frozen door would atest to that."
The couple in question gasped and blushed like a ripe tomato. King Agdar stared at his daughter before blinking for few times.
"Don't sound so surprise, I know what's going on between you two. I knew sooner or later, both of you would go to that road. And Elsa's power gave me a clue plus some ungodly noises in an ungodly hour."
Anna and Elsa looked down and refused to meet the gazez of their parents.
"If only you both could have a child of your own, I wouldn't be surprise if one of you would get pregnant sooner or later."
"Mother!" Elsa chastised and her face was redder than before. Anna looked at her lover in confusion. Does Elsa know something she doesn't?
"Anyway, just don't use any kind of things to my darlings and we won't have any problem." the Queen sighed for the last time and left the study room, leaving fathers and daughters inside.
All of them were silent as if the place was desolate. King Magnus who was still thanking the gods above that he was saved from the Queen's wrath and King Agdar barely managed to avoid her wrath. Truthfully, when King Magnus gazed at him, he was sure his wife would turn her attention to him, but thank goodness she didn't. While the princesses' faces were red because Queen Idunn had disclosed their activities just to prove her point, not to mention they weren't able to protest while the Queen was in that state.
They all sighed.
Somewhere in Solskinn.
"Let me go!" a man pleaded, his arms and feet were tied up in a stool, for days now. His abductors glared at him before giving him a wicked smile. A man burly man who used a hook for a hand went towards him. The burly man took a stool and sat in front of the poor man. "I am a royal guard! This is treason! Traitors!"
"Be quiet! We'll release you when...we feel like it" the abductor chuckled. "..or maybe we could flayed you and hang your skin in our vessel." he stared at the guard. "And also we are not traitors, we are just egotistically optimistic." he laughed.
Fear was evident on the soldier's eyes, he feared that he won't be able to see daylight.
"Oh the royal guard of Solskinn suddenly went mute. Wait, what was your name again?" the abductor thought for a moment. "Was it Ranger? Rhino?"
"Roger," slurred the co-conspirator who was obviously drunk near the table.
"Ah yes, Roger." the abductor used the side of his hook to lift the man's chin. "Just shut your mouth and we won't have any problem or much better if we gag you" he signaled his co-conspirators to gagged their prisoner. The abductor went back to their table to continue their gambling and drinking.
The royal guard looked around the vessel for an escaped when he noticed a slender figure who was dressed like a servant,a castle servant to be exact, tied up on the floorboards with a cloth that covered her mouth. The raven haired woman was unconscious. It seemed the abductors were orchestrating something that would harm to the royal family.
In one of the castle rooms.
The Duke of Weselton was staring down out of the window, observing the people outside. He couldn't accept the fact that his son was rejected by some mere girl. He gritted his teeth, he wanted to have Arendelle for himself, he planned to have Elsa sign the Crown Matrimonial. A Crown Matrimonial, it's a document used by the consorts to have equal power like legitimate monarch. If the Duke's son married Elsa, he would just be King consort, no power, no control over the kingdom. But if Elsa signed the crown matrimonial, the Duke's son would be King not only in name, he would have full control of the kingdom and when Elsa die without an heir, he wouldn't be removed as King, in fact his offspring from another woman would be named heir and his bloodline would rule Arendelle, Olaf and the other Arendellian candidates for the throne would be disinherited. The Duke had plan to assassinate Elsa and have his son become the sole ruler of Arendelle if ever Elsa would sign the the crown matrimonial...or maybe he could force her to sign it.
But the Duke has one tiny problem. Anna.
The Solskinnian princess must be removed out of the equation in order for his plans to fall into place. The raven haired servant with a mole on her left cheek walked in without knocking. The Duke knew who just came in.
"Any information?" he asked without turning around.
"The Princess of Solskinn is always with the Princess of Arendelle. I couldn't make my move. I apologized, Your Grace."
The Duke turned around and looked at servant. "I was told you are the best assassin in Weselton or they were wrong."
The servant's head was hung low, "I did put the of the poison you gave me but a servant knocked me over and spilled all the food."
The Duke's face went dark. "Is there anything left, did you put it all?" his voice rose.
The servant stammered. "N-no, Your Grace put it all and-"
"Imbecile! Your wasted it! Do you know how much does it cost?!" the servant cowered in fear. "It's the finest poison in the Southern Isles that could kill a person in seconds with a single drop!" his face was red in rage.
"I'm sorry Your Grace, forgive me!"
The Duke bellowed. "If that redhead princess is still alive before the wedding, I will have your head! Look for another lethal poison and get out of my sight!" the servant didn't need to be told twice and scurried out of the room, leaving the raging old man inside
At late in the afternoon.
King Magnus, King Agdar, Queen Idunn, Hans and Elsa were inside a hidden room beneath the castle. It was dark and damp, only candles were used to illuminate the room, this room was their only available rendezvous point at the moment since the council room was a risky place to discuss such delicate matters. There was a stone table at the center and high-backed chairs that could be used.
"Elsa, first of all, I am sorry for causing such trouble to do for doing such ...thing." King Magnus couldn't meet Queen Idunn's eyes, not yet, at the moment. The Arendellian Queen was still glaring at him across the table.
"It's fine, Your Majesty." Elsa politely replied with a smile.
Hans, on the other hand has no idea what they were talking about but the way Queen Idunn glared at his father could mean it was something big. To avoid the Queen's wrath, he just stayed silent.
"Anyway, any recent information regarding the matter?" King Magnus asked.
Hans spoke first. "I have a couple of names on my list." The monarchs nodded. "Prince Fernan, Duke of Weselton, and Count Selberg..." Hans trailed of. "There was someone I didn't manage to name, one of my spies told me he saw a hooded figure one night and disappeared into the night. He was sure it came from the King's deputy's office.
"That was me." four pair of eyes landed on Elsa when she spoke.
"What were you doing in my deputy's office so late at night? I already gave you my permission to access it back when we last spoken in the library." King Magnus asked.
"That's true, but going in the deputy's office in broad daylight and as a princess would get some unwanted attention, because as a Princess of Arendelle I had no reason to access those records. I couldn't risk my cover." All of them agreed to Elsa's reasoning, he father has a proud smile on his lips. "Also there's something I wanted to ask."
"What is it my dear?" King Magnus asked.
"Who is Master Reigar?"
"He was my royal physician before Master Osbert." King Magnus answered.
"How did he die?" she asked again.
"When Master Osbert examined him, he was poisoned in his office.
"How close he was to Count Frollo?"
King Magnus told them how Master Reigar and the Count worked together to reveal who were the mastermind in the Queen's murder. Elsa figured much that both men were going after the culprits given how close the dates of their deaths. If the perpetrator had the physician murdered that means the physician knew a lot and needed to be silenced before any word was spoken that would lead to the culprit.
"Is there anyone who knew Master Reigar more than than anyone else?" Hans suddenly asked as if he already knew what was going on in Elsa's mind.
"That would be Master Osbert since they studied medicine at the same time and they were great friends."
"I see." Elsa met Hans' eyes and nodded in understanding.
"So going back to the names I mentioned." the others nodded for him to continue. "Prince Fernan kept on saying how Anna resemble my mother when I don't have any memory of him visiting us prior mother's death."
"That's indeed suspicious. I had visited Spain but Adrianna was not accompanying me." King Magnus explained.
"Duke of Weselton, his unwanted presence in the castle would raise any suspicions especially the way he behave." Hans explained. Elsa on the other hand, she recalled the things he told her. She debated whether tell Hans or not, knowing he was so protective of his sister and she doesn't know how he would react if she told him about another engagement proposal from the Duke. Elsa opened her mouth to say something but she closed her mouth again.
"Is there something you want to tell us Elsa dear?" Queen Idunn asked in concern.
All eyes were on Elsa, she took a deep breath and told them about the Duke's displeasure on her current betrothal. Hans' eyes darkened at every word he heard. His knuckles turned white and his jaw flexed in displeasure. "The nerve of him! How could he insinuate something like that!. Uncle did you agree with this proposal?" the question was directed to King Agdar.
"I didn't and absolutely won't agree into it. Elsa's happiness is our priority and her happiness is your sister."
"I won't ever leave Anna, no matter what happen." Elsa said conviction.
"Have you told Anna about this?" Hans asked.
Elsa shook her head and said. "I will tell her before it will cause another misunderstanding between us." she didn't want to be part from Anna like what happened before.
Hans agreed then proceeded on his list. "Count Selberg, for obvious reasons." he was in deep thought for a moment. "...but how did he know that?" he asked himself out loud.
"About what, son?" King Magnus asked.
"Nothing. I would look into more to it before another word will be spoken." Hans' mind was running wild to his conclusion.
No that's impossible, how can it be him? What are his motives to murder a Queen?
Unknown to him, Elsa was looking at him with such curiosity. She wanted to know what Hans was thinking.
"I think that would be all for today. Please excuse me father,Uncle, Aunt, Elsa I still have things to do." Hans stated as he rose from his seat then bowed to the other royals. Once he was out, Magnus turned his attention to Elsa.
"My dear, you have my permission to tell Anna about what we are doing. I know it's hard hiding things from her. For her safety and yours as well." King Magnus said. King Agdar smiled at his daughter.
"I'll protect your daughter with my life."
Elsa's parents were so proud of their daughter.
That evening Master Osbert went to check up on the princess' condition, he was glad to know that Anna was feeling well. He gave her vials tonic in case she throw up again. Anna and Elsa thanked the physician and was about to went on his way when he was halted by Elsa.
"May I speak to you in private?"
"Elsa is there something wrong?" Anna worriedly asked. Elsa smiled and shook her head.
"There's nothing wrong, I'll be back okay?" she kissed Anna's forehead.
About half an hour, Elsa came back and hugged her beloved from behind. "I missed you."
Anna giggled. "I missed you too." she turn around. "What did you talk about?" Anna asked though she knew Elsa wouldn't tell her. The latter knew it was the perfect time to tell her.
"Anna, please sit with me." Anna became worried. Both of them sat on their bed with Elsa's hand interlaced with Anna's own. "Maybe you are wondering why I was in the library these past days and I would excuse myself and be gone for a long time and also your father would ask you to go somewhere to do something."
Now that Elsa mentioned it, Anna wondered why and sometimes she noticed Elsa and Hans would exchange mysterious glances. "You are not breaking our engagement right?" she asked carefully.
"What?! No. Of course not!" Elsa hastily answered. "I told you I won't ever leave you." she caressed her lover's face. "I love you."
"I love you too." Anna answered with a smile. "Please tell me the reason why you are in the library for days."
"I am doing an investigation."
"Investigation on what?" Anna's eyebrows were furrowed. Her beloved took a deep breath and spoke.
"On your mother's death."
Anna's face became grim and her eyes were brimming with tears. "Mother's d-death?" Elsa nodded. Her lover wiped the tears off her cheeks and held her close.
"Your brother asked me to join their search for the mastermind. We all believed that the person who's behind your mother's demise is with us here in the castle. The reason why your brother asked me to because they wouldn't suspect a foreign princess to interfere with the your family's personal affairs. I was in the library to read further on the cause of your mother's death. I was told she was poisoned but they didn't know what kind of poison that killed her. I studied different herbs just to pinpoint what type and where did that poison came from. I went through different medical records from your father's physician, who was also your mother's physician, but they weren't enough. All of the records were missing after her death. Whoever ordered Baron Robert to do the deed, he or she made sure that no traces of evidence can be found." Elsa explained. Her lover was sobbing on her chest. Elsa waited for Anna to calm down and when she did, Elsa kissed her forehead. "I'll protect you no matter what...even if I have to sacrifice my own life for you."
"And I will do the same for you Elsa. I love you."
"And I you."
They settled themselves on their bed and cuddled. "I want to join the search." Anna declared.
"My love, I don't think your father would allow you."
"Why not? Don't you think us being together would lessen the suspicions on what we are doing?"
Anna has a point.
"I'll do my best to convince your father and brother...and also there's something else." Elsa trailed of.
"I'm all ears." Anna smiled.
Elsa told her another secret that their parents wanted her to say to Anna. It was about the proposal of marriage for Elsa and the Duke's son. Anna feared Elsa would consider that proposal but she was assured by her lover and was determined to make her Queen of Arendelle without dispute.
The wedding of the couple was only few days away and the Duke was annoyed that he could still see redhead princess walking around the castle. He ordered his female assassin to do his bidding soon. The meals he was having with the other royals were perfect opportunity to execute his plan so no one would suspect him that he was the one who ordered it. At the moment they were having their afternoon tea in one of the castle's drawing room. Queen Idunn and Queen Arianna were there, King Magnus, Agdar and Frederik were there too. Also Anna, Elsa, and Aurora. Merida was with her parents and the princes were nowhere to be found.
The Duke saw the raven haired servant, they had a brief eye contact while the servant poured the tea on Anna's cup. The whole time, he watched the princess pick up her tea cup but not drinking from it. His patience were running thin but Elsa, of all people, told Anna drink her tea before it gets cold. He watched and waited then Anna suddenly dropped her cup. All of them were alarmed, especially Elsa.
"ANNA!" Elsa exclaimed when her lover's body went limp. She caught Anna just in time before she fall off the chaise lounge. "Anna! Look at me love! Please Anna!" she shook her lover as she cried.
The Duke just stood there looking at the scene in triump.
"Anna! My daughter! Who did this to you?"
"Anna don't leave me!" Elsa shouted. "Anna!"
Now there's no hindrance between my son and Arendelle's crown.
Another drama? Stay tuned on the next chapter! Don't forget to review!
