WickedMagic: I know you were but it was always going to be a boy. Sorry.

mackjoyo35: Yeah he probably does, just probably doesn't care very much.

GeeklygirlJelsalover: Yeah I got the hint, don't worry. Ah well on your love crisis, I don't think there is much you can do if your friend likes your crush. Sorry.

Guest Reviews: I don't think I've ever heard of a Winx Club but I'll take your word for it that its silly. First question: Hmm, probably as he is carrying on what he, himself, did. Next question: I try and update every day. I usually can unless I'm really busy throughout the day. I update at the same time though which is between 8-10pm my time.

Chapter 36: An Offer

Elsa wasn't sure if she heard Kai correctly. Did he just say Prince Edvard of Fellen was here, in Arendelle, to see her? She knew about him of course, smart, handsome, powerful athlete. He was next in line after King Diederik XII dies; he would be next in line for the throne and in Elsa's opinion, based on what she heard from her advisors, he would make a fine young king. She knew a little bit about his background as well. He studied overseas in Switzerland, came top in his class, for a while before travelling around the world. He was clearly intelligent and had a great deal more common sense than his cousin and perhaps the rest of his family. But the question was; why was he here in Arendelle? Elsa was sure that he would follow his family's example and hate Arendelle with a passion. She was sure that the last place he would set foot in would be her kingdom. Maybe he was sent to scoop out anything he could muster out of them to help Fellen win the war? Maybe to see if he could find anything that would give Fellen any advantage to win the war? That was indeed a possibility. Or maybe he was here for a genuine reason that had nothing to do with the war. Well that was a stupid thought. The prince of Fellen doesn't drop by to country it's a war with for tea and cookies. She doubted very much this was social visit. Of course it was about the war. Maybe he was here for peaceful reasons? Like negotiating a treaty. Well that was another stupid idea. King Diederik XII would never negotiate a peace treaty or dream of surrendering to Arendelle. That would be the last thing he would ever consider doing, he would hate making peace with his enemy. So if that was the case, then why on Earth was Prince Edvard here of all places? What was he doing in Arendelle?

"Did he say why he was here?" Elsa asked voicing her concerns.

"No ma'am," Kai said. "He just said he wished to see the Queen on urgent matters."

"Alright," Elsa sighed. This was going to be something new to her. Talking to the prince of the country that her country is at war with was going to be quite strange. She was thrown quite off her game and didn't have a lot of time to get back into it. "Where is he?"

"He's in the Great Hall, your majesty."

Elsa gave a look at the new happy family. "You don't mind if I take my leave?" she asked Bunnymund and Tooth.

"Oh no," Tooth said. "Go, I'm sure you're bursting to find out why Prince Edvard is here to see you."

Tooth couldn't be more right. Elsa was indeed bursting to know that. Elsa gave little Hugo a smile before she swept from the room. Kai followed her and soon they arrived outside the Great Hall. She opened the doors and walked down the room. She could see Prince Edvard waiting for her by the thrones. She gave him a smile and received one in return. She sat down on her throne and stared down at the man. Prince Edvard was taller than she expected. He was also fiddling with his hat which was gripped with both of his hands. Could he be nervous? Elsa thought. That could be a possibility. He was talking with the Snow Queen in Arendelle where he knew he was not the not the most popular guy in town. When Elsa sat down, he gave her a bow to show his respect.

"Queen Elsa," he said. "It is an honour to meet you."

"Thank you Prince Edvard," Elsa said. "I say it is quite early for a man of your stature to be visiting."

"Forgive the intrusion but my ship arrived a lot earlier than I expected and I hurried to see you at once."

"Why must you see me at once Prince Edvard?"

"I've come with news about the war milady."

Elsa wasn't too surprised to hear this. She knew it had to do something with the war but she did find it strange that the prince of Fellen was the one to deliver the message. She would have thought that King Diederik XII would have sent someone else rather than his own cousin.

"Go on," prompted Elsa.

"You see, milady, the people of Fellen are anxious to see the war end."

"As are the people of Arendelle."

"Excellent, then I believe we could come to some kind of arrangement."

Elsa's heart skipped a beat. Surely he wasn't talking about what she thought he was talking about…

"If you mean for us to surrender then I'm afraid you've come a long way for nothing," she said.

"Oh no," Prince Edvard shook his head. "No, I'm afraid you misunderstand me. You see I don't wish for you to surrender. I would like you to win the war."

Elsa was now confused. Why would the prince of Fellen wish for his own country to lose a war? Surely he was on-board with Fellen's wish to punish Arendelle for what it supposedly did to Fellen all those years ago. So why would he be wanting the country that caused that to win against his own country? This all seemed rather strange to her.

"I judge by the look on your face that you are confused by my statement," Edvard said with a bit of a smile.

"Forgive me Prince Edvard," Elsa said smiling as well but she still had her look of puzzlement on her face, "I just don't understand why you wish for Fellen to lose the war. Don't you wish that Fellen to win the war? Aren't you a citizen of Fellen?"

"Yes milady and for that reason, Arendelle must win the war."

Elsa was getting more and more confused. This just adding up in her head. She didn't understand how Prince Edvard would like to see his own kingdom potentially crash and burn before him. Prince Edvard must have noticed as he gave her a cherry smile.

"I gather by your expression that I am not explaining properly."

"No," Elsa said. "Please do."

"Well you see my cousin, King Diederik XII, wishes to obliterate Arendelle for what Arendelle did to our grandfather and to Fellen. What did Arendelle do to Fellen, you might ask. Well as you may be aware there was a huge war that took place between our grandfathers and their kingdoms. Fellen fired the first shot and Arendelle simply defended itself. Arendelle drove back Fellen's forces and gave Fellen a massive shake down. Arendelle destroyed Fellen for what it did to them and my grandfather was known as the king that let down his own kingdom. My grandfather grew mad over his constant thirst for revenge and this dripped down through the generations, it was shown in my uncle and now in my cousin, the current king of Fellen. It is that desire for revenge that has jet started this war, that has caused all this misery and destruction. You see Lord Pitch Black came to us a while ago with a proposal, he wanted revenge on Arendelle because you spurred his advances, quite rightly so if I may add, and this fuelled my cousin's desire for revenge even more. There was another man who wished the same amount of revenge on the same kingdom as he did. They plotted together and decided to take your kingdom for themselves. After the defeat of Lord Black, I thought that this could be the end of the war. Arendelle's soldiers may have been defeated but I was sure that with Arendelle's allies' support, there would be no way that Fellen could stand up to that kind of might and especially without aid from the Fearling army that Lord Black provided. I was sure that this would be the end of the war. Alas, it was not. My cousin was still driven by that same mad crazy revenge that my grandfather was, so much so, that Fellen is paying for it. My cousin is running Fellen, my home, into the ground because of his mad vendetta against Arendelle."

"So to save Fellen," Elsa said starting to catch on, "Fellen must fall?"

"It must," Prince Edvard nodded. "My cousin would not be able to stand up to the backlash that this war would cause him. Then in time, it has been suggested that I take up the reins and be crowned king."

"So we would win the war and you will become king?"

"It is a win/win situation, is it not? Arendelle wins the war and I get to be king and pull my country out of the ashes it is in."

"You're offering help aren't you?"

"All the help milady needs," Prince Edvard bowed again.

Elsa considered Prince Edvard's proposal. It was rather attractive. Prince Edvard clearly didn't have this desire to tear Arendelle down brick by brick unlike his grandfather, uncle and cousin. He seemed to see the world as it should be seen. He saw the war the way that Elsa saw it. Elsa was a little concerned that his offer to help Arendelle was fuelled by his desire to become king himself. Well, he would be a good king. He had a lot more experience dealing with kingdom's affairs than King Diederik XII ever had. King Diederik XII was just a boy with no idea what he should or shouldn't do. He was basically thrown onto the throne with no real experience or knowledge. Prince Edvard was a little older and would certainly make a better king than King Diederik XII could ever could. Maybe Elsa should take his offer. After all, Prince Edvard would have the working inside knowledge that Elsa would need to help take down the Fellen army with minimum lives to be lost and he did say it would be a win/win situation if they helped each other. Elsa did agree with him when he said that his cousin was running Fellen into the ground. King Diederik XII wasn't the only king to do this, his grandfather and his father also weren't known to be quite the noble kings. Elsa did for a second consider not taking his deal. But then what would that accomplish? Prince Edvard would just go back to Fellen and listen to whatever his cousin told him to do and Arendelle may or may not win the war. Elsa knew there was only one thing she could do that would ensure the safety of her kingdom.

"Alright, Prince Edvard," she said. "What do we need to do?"

Prince Edvard grinned and he started to speak.

Anna didn't realise how much time had gone by when the clock outside chimed ten times. Elsa was still not back yet from her meeting with Prince Edvard. She bit her lip. What could they be discussing that was so important? The answer came straight to Anna in a flash. The war was the obvious answer. But why would Prince Edvard of Fellen want to talk to her sister about the war? Wasn't he the prince of Fellen? What could he be discussing with her sister? Anna excused herself from the room and headed down into the Great Hall. She poked her head through the door and to her surprise she didn't find either of them in there. She thought was slightly strange. She wondered where they could be.

She walked down the hallways, thinking. Maybe she had finished the meeting a lot earlier and went back to bed? But then Anna noticed Elsa coming towards her talking with Prince Edvard which meant her theory went down the drain. They both had smiles on their faces and looked like they had been discussing something very important. Elsa stopped her conversation with Prince Edvard the second her eyes laid upon Anna. Anna knew that from that, the conversation they were having was something worth knowing about.

"Hey Elsa," Anna said brightly.

"Ah Anna," Elsa said. "This is Prince Edvard, he's come for a visit to Arendelle."

"I can see that," Anna said. "The question is why."

"That is a matter between me and her majesty, your royal highness," Prince Edvard said.

Anna raised her eyebrow. Didn't this guy know that she and Elsa practically shared everything? Elsa wouldn't keep anything from her.

"Elsa?" Anna looked at her sister expectantly. She was expecting her sister to give her a very long talk that included every single detail that she and Prince Edvard talked about. She expected to be told everything. What she was not expecting was her actual response.

"Why don't you run along Anna and find Kristoff," Elsa suggested. "I'm sure he's looking for you."

Elsa and Prince Edvard pushed past her. Anna gaped at them.

"That's all I get?" she yelled after them.

Elsa didn't respond. She couldn't believe that Elsa wasn't telling her what was going on. Anna just shrugged her shoulders and continued walking. Whatever it was, it was probably a matter for the highest ranking individuals of Arendelle which somehow, despite her being the princess of Arendelle, didn't apply to her. Maybe it really was only a matter for the Queen. Well that just made Anna want to snoop even more. She really wanted to know what was so important that Elsa found it necessary to hide it from her. She knew what Elsa was trying to do. She was trying not to worry her with whatever was going on. She surely knew that Anna worried a lot more if she didn't know what was going on? Sisters, Anna thought to herself as she hurried up the corridor.

Jorgen was pacing up and down his room that he was given to use with his wife by Morten. He and she had moved in a while ago as it was part of the deal he made with Morten and of course Morten was going to keep Jorgen to his end of the deal. Currently Jorgen had been trying to figure out a way to tell his wife that he was planning on moving to Arendelle. He had been promised a nice little farm there and he was hoping that, that Jack boy would keep his promise. He was sure he would. That Jack guy sounded nice. Besides he did feel like he was owed something for not turning them over and for helping them get back to Arendelle. Now it was only a matter of telling his wife the truth. She wasn't too into moving away from Fellen. She liked living in Fellen as that's where her family have lived for generations plus she hated the idea of moving away from her own brother who was her only family left. Plus she was never keen on Arendelle. She was into that stuff about the vendetta against Arendelle that their king kept harping on about but which Jorgen knew was just a ridiculous thing to do. Jorgen had a plan to tell her, he just had to approach her carefully.

He watched as the door opened and his wife walked into the room. She smiled at him and sat down at her dresser. She started to take off her bracelets and earrings while looking at him through the mirror. Jorgen didn't know quite how to tell her. He took a deep breath in and decided to just say it.

"Dear, there is something that I need to tell you," he said.

"Hmm?" she said while taking off one of her earrings.

"I made a deal with an Arendelle solider some months ago."

That made her turn around in one solid movement. She had an angry look on her face. Jorgen had to back up a little. Last time she was this mad was when she was pregnant and he had eaten the last cookie she had wanted. Jorgen hadn't been able to sleep for a week because of that mistake.

"What?" she snapped. "You did what?"

"I made a deal with some Arendelle soldiers," Jorgen repeated.

"And what did this deal involve?" she snarled.

"Basically if I arranged for them to get back to Arendelle, they would provide something in return."

Marta looked a little flabbergasted for a moment and it looked as if something had struck her brain.

"That's why you needed Morten's ship!" she said. "That's why you made that deal. I knew there was a lot more to it. You would never have willingly offered to live with Morten. You hate the guy and you hate the city. You prefer your quiet and peaceful life of living on your little farm."

"Exactly," Jorgen said. "Which is why I've arranged for a nice relaxing retirement package in Arendelle. There is a little farm waiting for me with helpers. I'm going to move to Arendelle and work in a cosy little farm."

"You're moving to Arendelle?" Marta said as if she couldn't believe this.

"Yes," Jorgen said. "The bonus is that Monika lives there as well with her husband and our grandchild. So not only is Arendelle a definite improvement on Fellen but we would also be near our family."

"We?" Marta said.

"Well I would love for you to join me but I understand if you don't want to join me."

"Don't want to?" she shrieked. "That's a bit of an understatement."

"Look, even you have got to admit that Arendelle's a nice place to live than Fellen. It's not crumbling, it's not miserable and the people there are actually friendly. Arendelle is a nice place full of nice people. It doesn't have a king who is determined to not let the past go. Arendelle has a decent Queen who loves her people."

"Well I'll give you that," Marta shrugged. "But Arendelle Jorgen, Arendelle, its Fellen's arch rival."

"It's the king's arch rival," Jorgen corrected her. Neither ours nor its people. I know you have this thing with Arendelle but why? Arendelle has done nothing against you and Monika loves living there. Haven't you read all her letters and seen all her pictures? She's finding it such a lovely place to live."

"So you do want to do this?" Marta said after a silence.

"Yes," Jorgen said, "and I would love it if my beautiful wife would join me."

"But what about the war and everything?"

"The war is nearly over. Fellen won't have a chance against Arendelle now that Lord Black's army of Fearlings are no more. Arendelle will win. There is no way they would lose. Besides they have the Snow Queen and I don't know about you, but I hate the freezing cold. There is no way I'm staying here if she decides to freeze us all here."

"I guess your right about that," Marta admitted.

"You guess?" Jorgen asked. "You know I'm right. Now wouldn't you like to live out your days in sunny Arendelle and just watch the world go by instead of being in this dark and horrible place?"

"That place is my home you're talking about!"

"I know, I'm just stating facts here."

"Urgh, fine, you win," Marta said. "I hate it when you're right."

"Wait, I actually won that?" Jorgen sounded a little confused. That almost never happened to him. It was usually Marta who would win their arguments.

"Yes but don't get to excited," Marta flashed him a smile. "So this is something you really want to do?"

"Yes," Jorgen nodded.

"Alright, alright, I'm on board," Marta said. "When do we leave?"

"As soon as we're ready."

Marta nodded. "We just can't tell Morten. He would go crazy if he found out what we're doing. He hates Arendelle more than I do and a simple speech like the one you gave wouldn't calm him down."

"Agreed."

Marta looked a little sad. Jorgen knew why she was sad.

"I'm really going to miss Fellen," she said.

"I know," Jorgen gave her a little kiss. "But this is the best thing for us."

"I know," Marta said sadly.
