Anna was going to leave ,just ignoring him , but she just couldn't leave him with such an unfair accusatory tone. She feel her cheeks become red...but not red of embarrassment Anna was angry ! first second she saw him and he was already...

arrogant , mocking , loathsome

Yeah she just wanted to punch him right in the face. So , She decide with a little smirk around her face to used the same arrogant cocky tone than him. he wanted to play she was going to play his game.

- Firstly… you are not the center of the world Hans of the southern isles ! Secondly… i didnt knew you were there and third...

damn ! She had forgot what she wanted to tell him ! She was so sure of herself and now all her confidence had disseapear now he was the one smirking.

-well ..i forgot but i m gonna remember in one instant Hans of the southern isles ! She could saw an evil smile begin to draw in the corner of his lips...

-So ? He responded without giving her times to remember what she had forgot.

-And third...she added while thinking very hard about she had just forgot. Finally she looked at him...why was she responding to his questions when he was the own owning her more response about his presence here than her.

-and third i forget but whatever !

-What are you doing here and not rotting in your cell in your castle in the southern isles Hans of the southern isles ! He laughed with the exact same mocking tone that...

thay day

a waves of unpleasant memory took anna by surprise.

- oh anna ,

damn ! He didn't dare ! This bastard didn't dare ! he did it on purpose! ? right !Her fits clenched she wait for his answer

- its been 3 years now and by the way my castle is already a cell ! I dont need one ! he explained with a dramatic...too much dramatic...and theatrical behavior.

She rolled her eyes

-what are you doing here ? If your prefered that question ! she responded severely annoyed. its not even surprising how exhausting it was to talking to him.

-My oldest brother force me to come !

She couldn't help but be surprised she knew that apparently...well based on Hans word...his 12 olders brothers were not the most benevolent person toward him. but in the end its was yeah...only Hans words for what she has briefly see downstair there seems to be kind man.

-so in the end there are not that terrible your brothers She crossed her arms with a firm expression of disdain.

-Guess this one tried to be better to me that he was in the past so he thought that i should get my head out of the southern isles sometimes.

-But why are you doing here and why are you not with your brothers she asked genuinely curious

-because i find this ball extremely boring and i had king edward permission to be here ! Happy ?

-Oh !

-I guess i m not the only one that find this ball extremely boring dont you your majesty ?

-Yeah she added this time laughing to herself. She was definitely not crazy the ball was really boring !

- well goodbye i did not wish you a good evening then ? She asked

- Same !

- and do not take my laugh for a...friendly interactions between us i was only laughing with myself ! she needed to added.

- of course of course your majesty !


Finally she had decided to leave him this time , he was not going to ruined her evening ! She took happy the first step of the stair but unfortunately look over her shoulder once she was more far from Hans. Hans expression was not something to ignore. yeah ! He was all alone by himself in a corridor and she couldn't help not feel pity for him in some way. What was he even doing here all alone by himself sitting in the corridor ? The problem was that anna her she was not like him ! She was the whole contrary. Anna's heart was not Frozen , she was caring and empathic and seeing an other human being in distress was not something she just walk over and close the door behind her. not even if it was her evil ex fiance; yes each human on this earth deserve to have a gentle person who can listen to them right ? So anna didn't knew if it was the party talking of the chocolate fondue but she wanted to comfort him.

its been now a little more than 3 years since he stabbed her with his words and actions and break her heart. A little more than 3 years that he had left her to died , tried to kill her sister and steal her kingdom. well she sort of give him she taught reminding herself of her own mistakes. Now seeing he there she realized that she had move one. Of course she had not forget and will never forgive him but the pain was now gone. The past was in the past. but Hans him was right in front of her eyes tonight and a part of her was indicating her that perhaps Hans needing a person to listen to him perhaps she could be that person putting to the side their past at least during one evening. So since she had nothing to do at all and was in a helpful and curious mood she decide to do a crazy thing. a very vey crazy thing that she would have swear she would have never do 2 years ago. She sat next to him.

-What are you doing ? He raise an eyebrow confused and shocked . He slowly tried to move a little to not be too closed but anna seeing it approached herself even more closed to him to annoyed him even more.

-well i sat here ! Did you own this corridor Mr. of the southern isles ?

-No ! He responded an expression on his face indicating he was taking literally anna question.

Now there were both in the same position. back against the wall of the corridor of andalasia looking in front of them. Hans like if was some liveless robotic human being. She heard a pretty dramatic sight coming from Hans.

- you know its gonna be boring to sat next to me and by the way if someone saw you next to the almost murderer of your sister its gonna be complicated for me your majesty !

she decided to approached him with an average sentence , slowly like someone would approached a hurt animal.

- are you ok ?

- why do you cares...He answered not bothering to look at her but only right in front of him.

- because i m human being not like you she responded proud of herself in a playful whisper.

- well why do you cares about me anyway ? finally he looked at her deciding to affronting her and looked at her as if she was judging him.

- i ' m curious also ! She shrugged.

- so you expect me to talk to you about me ? seriously because you come with your disgusting loving attitude isn't it ?you are courageous but..crazy he responded with an arrogant smile and tone.

- you Kind of did that the night of the coronation she reminded him.

- oh please ! no i didn't i only was trying to relate with you for my evil plans..when you talk to me about your sisters issues

- well its funny because last time i remember you were the one that talk first about your sibling issues not me !

- i…

he stopped himself she was right.

-yes you right he added disappoint anna had win the conversation.

- well its seems my disgusting loving attitude is not that bad !

finally he looked at her during one long instant as if he was trying to discover if she was complotting some crazy plans.

- my oldest brother wants me to be a priest. He added casually.

Spontaneous , she burst out laughing hans ? Her hans ? a priest the idea was insane ? She laugh during long minutes the whole idea was crazy too much crazy. she even had imagined him in her head dress with clothes of a priest but what was more insane is that hans was not really hurt by her reaction he had in fact laugh at the same time than her. It was the first time since Anna has accidently meet him here that their interactions was far from hostile.

- i knew it i m not crazy to hate the idea he added finally more liveful

that smile this time was genuine and it was very beautiful. Yes hans had a beautiful smile she had notice it before , which means during the night of the coronation. And thats what was difficult for anna how was she supposed to deal with the fact that he had played with her when even when he was not playing with her he had the exact same expression as the night of the coronation. maybe in the end Hans had enjoy his time with her and didn't manipulating at all ? no ! she was only fooling herself.

- i dont know anything about religion ! he added making her stop thinking about his smile.

- oh hans even if you know by heart religion the thing is that you dont even know what is evil what is a good what are going to said if someone is dying..closed the door behind ?

Again she had responded with impulsivity and was expecting him to be hurt again but he laughed again this time sincerely as if he was really amused.

-your right ! he added with a smile.

-I should say that to my brother ! But i m sure his plan is not gonna worked !

-Why ? She asked suddenly very , very curious about Hans family.

- the king has others plans for me ! Like royal nanny !

This time she couldn't help burst out laughing again even louder Making Hans laugh again.

Hans a priest ? And now Hans as a nanny ? But she remember : 12 olders brothers ? ...its means 2 or even 6 niece of nephew by brothers , 12 times wooo hans family must be bigger that she thought. Something inside of her break a little this time again she hadn't thought about all of that. About Hans with children , what kind of uncle he is.

This...must means hans has experience with babies , children , he has pass perhaps times , a lot of times with kids and if his father plan for him to be a nanny ...anna laughed again...that means that hans is actually good with children ?

A part of her feel incredibly disappointed Hans was not suppose to be like that. He was...not someone good ! He was evil ! This was not how she had pictured the true Hans ! No it couldn't be the reality !

- this is that that makes your sad ? anna asked curious

- yes !

Hugh…wrong jerkyface ! Anna taught. She could feel miles away that there was something more than that even him was not convince by his response. Suddenly as if he read in her mind he asked her

-your feeling sad too your majesty ?

-Wait what ? Anna asked surprised Hans guess her mind.

-And lonely...

- how do you know ?

-Well your aura tell me you are ! each person have own and i feel sad waves coming from you ! he whisper softly closed from her ear

wooo is he a magician ?

- remember your majesty that you have in front you someone that can read people like an open book !

again did he have read in her mind ? she decided to overlook what he said.

- if it can comfort you elsa is not anymore at home. Anna shrugged if hans didn't have difficulties to lied its was actually difficult to lied to him. So she allowed herself to makes her sadness and melancholy apparent to be honest she also needed to talk to someone.

- i miss her a lot ! I thought she would come more often !

Again…a genuinely expression of worries crossed Hans face. Was he truly upset for her ? No way it couldn't be possible !

-i m so sorry your majesty !

he makes a little paused indicating he was actually thinking.

- excuse me for my language but your sister seems really to be a bitch ! he said in a a very natural and relaxed way.

eyes wide open she give him the best dirty look she could. She knew it ! She was gonna regret to be here. She had forgot Hans was...Hans and now what he was doing ? Insulting her sister ? No surprising coming from him.

-You dont talk about her like that or i m gonna put you in prison this time in arendelle ! For insult to her majesty queen elsa !

- she is not the queen anymore ?

he has technically a point

- you have understand me ! anna look at her bottle of champagne maybe she should took her staff and leave.

- well what i know about her is not really glorious your majesty she ignore you for years... run away selfishly , didn't cares about bring back summer...froze your heart you nearly died of it and would have if i didn't tried to kill your sister allowing yourself to makes your act of true love and...

she interrupted him and claimed witha lot of sarcasm

- oh thank Hans ! thank you so much to habe tried to kill my sister

- but your welcome he said as if he didnt catch the obvious sarcasm in her voice.

- now…she is just somewhere in a forest based on the rumors i heard in my kingdom leaving you... all alone ruling arendelle.

-She is not living on a forest anna added in defense of her sister it will be too long defend elsa about his others accusations and she didn't wanted to think again about the past. she has lost already too much times thinking about the past.

- Then where is she ? He asked seriously confuse

-i dont know she is she in a river name Ahtohallan i guess tonight !

-Ahtohallan ? He repeat

- no ! She is…she is…the 5th spirit riding a water horse well we are the bridge , after she heard some creepy voice calling her she decide to follow her...but then there was this forest and our grandpa was in fact the bad guy...oh yeah and arendelle was gonna be destroy because there was those spirit of the forest that father told us about and then

lost in her explication she hasn't even notice hans was extremely confuse of course so much crazy thing happen...

- oh thats complicated and a long story and it dont concern you i dont know what i talk to you about her it was a bad idea , a very bad idea.

- wait your sister has a water horse ? He repeat from all the crazy thing it was the only one thing that had took his interest.

- yes its impressive !

- she has a water horse ? he repeat truly amazed.

- But this is amazing ! this time really too much...excited !

Anna bite her tongue. What was she thinking hans love horse . he literally adore them. He talk hours about sitron during the coronation night he even talk to her more about his horse than his own family. A part of his punishment as she read in a newspaper was to work on the stable ! oh no he was going to ask her thousand silly question now.

- what's his name ? He asked for the first time of their interaction happy.

-nokk !

-Wooo

-i dont think he will like you did try to chop her owner head ! She answered finally bitter.

-Of course of course ! He makes a paused indicating he was thinking

-do you think this is possible a fire horse ? He asked a idiotic smile on his face.

-Perhaps but i m pretty sure its hurt !

- she has a water horse ! he repeat still amazed but this time more too himself.

she ask him a question before he could ask an other silly one himself.

-do you want a bite of my sandwich ?

- there is what inside ?

- chicken !

- poisoned ? he added suspicious

Anna rolled her eyes

- no Hans this is not poisoned !

- perfect then ! he smile , As hans took a part of anna sandwiches , he proposed to the young queen

- and do you want a bite of mine ? There is cheese !

-cheese why not ? Added anna visibly charm by this composition.

A silence settle between them but instead of being uncomfortable anna find it kinda relaxing. She could here hans breathing next to her and the annoying sound of the ballroom where far far away. Finally she really tolerate Hans presence right there and even if it hurt to admit it...

she was enjoying it. him also...if not he would have defintly move since a long time.

The corridor were gorgeous yes extremely gorgeous regal and huge and she could see the night and the stars through the windows gave a magical tone to her evening.

Finally anna put her attention again on her compagnon of the evening and come to the conclusion that she had in front of her the true Hans. not Prince charming ! of course he was Hans he was an asshole ! of course ? but at the same time this man was not the cruel man that betray her in the library he was very strangely...more sympathetic ! or just that there something extremely touching coming from him this night.

Hans was visibly lost in his thought , still an expression between bitterness and sadness on his face even after their little chat. From where she was she could admire how perfectly built his face was. It was true he had lost weight but by looking at his arm anna could still see hans form of biceps under his shirt. Yes kristoff arm were definitely bigger not that hans arm where small but there were smaller than kristoff one. A smile appear on her face as the thought of her fiance. I wonder what he must do ? Now ? Sleeping ? Oh no no no i know anna taught inside of her. He must like always make that funny and weird voice for sven. Finally she put again her attention at her ex fiance , when suddenly she saw a bruises in his neck it was hide by hans clothes but anna could still see it.

- hans what is that ? Surprise he whispered some unbelievable explanation..

-oh that ? Well…i….i…i fall on something pointy one day !

- i m clumsy he added embarrassed while chuckling

- so finally you are most clumsy than me observed anna serious. she had never ever see Hans as someone clumsy. she was the awkward and clumsy one Hans was elegant , regal and sophisticated but then he did hit her with sitron the day they meet. she sighed inside of her frustrated. Realizing that every opinion that she had on Hans was based on three days of his whole life. in the end its was pretty hard to have an opinion about him

- yes !it happen a lot !i m…extremely clumsy he offered her a smile.

no ! That'was not possible a pointy object will definitely not have let on hans skin a bruise like that. Yes its was a bigger object. She was not a fool hans was lying to her. But then it was not anything of her business. right ? she was making him very uncomfortable, of course she was the one that need to makes everything awkward. Like always she blush.

-your majesty is something alright ? He added worried.

- oh no i was thinking about….something.

- I m sorry !

- for what ? anna responded raising an eyebrow. Has hans read her mind again ?

- for your sister !

- oh yes..! she lied not wanted him to know what she was actually thinking..

She then observed on him a malicious smile finally appear

- so that means that your sister…is in magical forest free with a water horse , enjoying her times , free , doing whatever she likes and you… are stuck in arendelle study as the queen with thousand duties and responsibilities and boring works he laughed too much amused for her taste.

Anna offered him a dirty look and hit him on the shoulder than makes him laugh.

- you sure this is not a trap from your sister your majesty ?

- say who? Mister who want absolutely to be king ? she responded Playful.

-between a water horse in a magical forest and be king i would definitely choose the first option your majesty he laughed again still not over the fact that elsa had a water horse for herself.

Anna make a grimace her majesty ? again ? He had call her only by" your majesty" it was weird as if there were strangers. Well there were not strangers anymore ? Right ? has he forgot her name ?

-please call me anna !

- anna ? He said very surprised.

- well…

She took his glass to serve herself a glass of champagne finally now even more comfortable with Hans presence.

- you know very well my name and the queen ask you to call her by it so i dont see the problem ! She add while smiling.

- oh…ok ! I didn't wanted to be improper.

This time she saw it ! A genuinely loving smile again! or is he acting ?

- so…she added while drinking very fast her glass of champagne.

-you prefer a water horse than be king she said amused

- i dont want to be rude but...that's surprising coming from you she added

- thats not very complicated i bet i would have sucks at being king !

She stopped herself shocked by his Answer.

- wait what ? Was the only thing she could say dumbfounded.

She had talk to her citizens and they had all said to her that Hans had take great care of all of them. It was actually the only thing Hans did actually Right.

- and me i bet you would be an awesome king hans ! She answer way too fast that it surprise him He raise his head and look at her.

- i mean This is not about that this is..this is you ways to be king that were evi…

- no ! ….i dont know what does i feel i will be a good king i mean if people had constantly belittle you your whole life this is maybe because there are reasons.

reasons ?

Wooo it was really a confession. Prince hans of the southern isles was really feeling that way ? Woo it was a true shocked for Anna that the arrogant prince was feeling like this inside of him ? Did something happen to him in 3 years for thinking this way ? Maybe he was trying to have her pity him ? But no he really seems to be sincere in his confession. there was absolutely no purpose in lying.

- no ! ! She added trying to comfort him.

- Sometimes people belittle you because they are jealous , means bullies...not for actual reasons !

He close his eyes and whispered

-you really are a lovable person anna ? Each time someone stab you behind you responded with love.

-that's my secret power ! love ! just like yours is...whatever you did to read in my mind with you waves , aura thing. This time he paused a little his head on the wall looking in her direction but she couldn't tell if he was taking her for a stupid little princess naive believing in love something disgusting according to him or he was just really amazed by what she said.

He really was mysterious

she also noticed his eyes. his dreamy blue...wait ? they were green. she hadnt notice hans eyes were green...she defintly was desperate that night she tought to not even have notice her fiance colors of eyes.

if they were still dreamy...they didnt look exactly the same. once they were full of love and excitment now...it was like there were in there something mixed between distress and...lost of hope. yeah it was like the once ambitious man was now gone. he knows he had commit crimes and he couldnt be a king anymore...or maybe he didnt having faith in himself anymore was something more suit for the situation. after All he did said to her that he will...sucks at being king and if people belittle him there were reasons. finally Anna come to the conclusion Hans was depressed , severly depressed.

and now she was feeling torn...after what he has done they were was no way she would feel bad for him he was a grown ass adult...but still she feel a pain in the area of her heart she did not wish people misery not even Hans.

- oooh i understand ! he break the silence finally making an expression as if he had understand something big , really enormous

- you comes here to punch him ? he claimed happy to have find something to accuse her of.

- i beg your pardon ? She laughed dumbfounded by his conclusions she had even forget about that punch.

- you comes here sat next to him...in order to makes me lose my guards but i m not a fool i m not like that !

- no because guess what...not everyone has ulterior motive when they meet someone

- really ? he said with sarcasm

- yes that call be nice ! she smile.

she suddenly nearly jumped when someone call her name.

- Queen Anna Your majesty ! You are there !

she looked at the visitor she had see him downstair. red hair , venomous green eyes ,freckle it was one of Hans brothers , but if Anna couldn't Not notice the similarities with his little brother. She couldn't also not noticed the difference , that's thing Hans talk previously about having an aura...his brother has a very different one much more Malevolent. it was true he was charming , but something in that man was not trustful and even something was kinda intimidating , scaring her. Now that she was thinking about it she had never be truly scared of Hans. she was confront to another reality perhaps its was not just Hans words his brothers were truly terrible person.

- Prince Rudi of the southern isles ! He bow.
