A/N: In memory of Rhanda, who passed away a month ago today.


"WAH! OOF!" Anna yelped and then grunted as she fell to ground on her back. She was no longer wearing her Queen dress, however. Instead, Anna was wearing a Arendellian soldier's outfit.

"You need to counter attacks like that, your majesty." Mattias said, holding a wooden training sword.

"I know, I know! I'm just still learning, that's all." Anna said as she got back to her feet, also holding a wooden sword.

"I understand that, but, with all due respect, you aren't learning fast enough."

"That was with all due respect?" Anna said, slightly offended.

Mattias sighed. "This is war training, your majesty. Criticism is necessary for success."

Anna nodded. "Okay, let's go again."


Hans was making his way to the barracks, receiving glares from every Arendellian soldier he passed. He found his crew setting up a large tent to accommodate them.

"I see you all have settled in." Hans said.

"For now." Edelgard replied.

"What took you so long, Admiral?" Erik asked.

"Well, after I fainted I woke up with my wrists tied to the side of a bed and got an earful from Ex-Queen Elsa, her brother-in-law and her parents."

"That sounds… Unsettling."

"Everything was fine until her father nearly strangled me while giving me a warning to treat his daughters with the upmost respect."

"Will you?"

"I don't intend to face his wrath, Erik."

Erik nodded.

"Have you talked to Queen Anna yet?" Serena asked.

"She wasn't present when I talked to her family."

"That's because she's training right over there." Said Sylvando, pointing over to an open area where Hans was surprised to see Anna training with a black Arendellian soldier.

"You should at least try talking to her." Serena urged.

"She'll kill me before I get the chance to speak." Hans refused.

"They're using wooden swords."

"Wood can be lethal too."

"Why are you acting like such a coward?"

"Excuse me?!"

"Admiral, you've been at war for three years and never once showed fear towards an enemy. But your afraid to talk to the Queen who's trust you betrayed. Not only that, but you tried to kill her sister. Let me tell you something, Admiral Westergard. If anyone betrayed my twin sister Veronica, I would make them feel physical pain equal to the emotional pain they inflicted on her."

"Where did that come from? Better yet, how did you even find out about that? The only person I told about that was Sylv."

"Uhhh… The Queen told us everything."

Hans growled. "Of course she did…"

"Where are you going?" Erik asked.

"To talk to the Queen."


"HA!"

"OOF!" Mattias grunted as Anna had successfully disarmed him and jabbed him with her wooden sword. "Well done, Queen Anna."

"Thank you, General Mattias." Anna smiled.

"Excuse me, Queen Anna?"

Anna immediately recognized the voice as Hans' and turned around, sticking her sword out at him, stopping him dead in his tracks.

"What do you want?"

"You had absolutely no right to tell my crew about the events at the coronation."

Mattias scowled at Hans. "How dare-"

Anna put up her hand to stop him.

"General, give us a minute."

"Your majesty, I-"

"Now." Anna ordered firmly.

Mattias nodded, bowed his head and left.

"I thought I ordered to have you restrained to the bed in a spare room."

"So that was her." Hans thought to himself. "I was, until your sister was kind enough to cut me free."

Anna glared at him. "I'm going to have to talk to her then. But let me be clear on something, Westergard. The only reason I asked for you to come was because regardless if you live or die in this war, I won't ever have to worry about you again."

Hans glared back. "I'm sorry you feel that way. Now, regarding my crew-"

"I wanted them to know."

"Know what?!"

"That you are nothing but a heartless prick that left me to freeze to death and then tried to kill my sister, the only family I thought I had left."

Hans was unfazed by Anna's words.

"Enjoy your stay in Arendelle, Admiral Westergard. These next few days may just be your last." With that, Anna turned and walked away, Leaving Hans Alone.
