- "The agreements that involve territorial seas are different from how I remembered" - The redhead joked. The queen was startled to hear the redhead's voice behind her, turned to see him and smiled.
- "King Hans Westergard of Weselton" - She pronounced his name.
- "You look beautiful, Queen Elsa" - He said. She blushed as she unconsciously began toying with the skirt of her wedding dress. - "I appreciate that you invited me to your wedding"
- "I appreciate you coming" - She said. - "Perhaps our kingdoms are not allies, but you are my best friend and I wanted you to be with me on my wedding day"
- "We can still run away together if you decide not to get married" - He suggested as a joke.
- "I will not lie to you, I am nervous" - She said. - "But, yes, I want to marry him, I love him, Hans" - Hans smiled, perhaps in the end she had not fallen in love with him, but he loved her very much and loved to see her being happy, even when her past was sad, finally she was able to smile again. - "He is a good man, in these 3 years that have passed I have known him well and even gave myself the task of investigating him, you should not worry about me" - She said.
- "I know you'll be fine, sweet Elsa" - Hans said. - "And I wish you the greatest happiness in the world, Queen Elsa of Arendelle, or perhaps I should say Queen Elsa of Stavanger, after all both kingdoms will unify"
- "We both like the name of Arendelle more, so I will continue being queen of Arendelle" - She commented. - "There will only be some changes to the shield of the kingdom and those things, you will find out later" - She said smiling at him. - "Changes are not always bad and sometimes it is good to adapt to them"
- "Well, I think I'll see you in church" - Hans said. - "Should we establish a password in case you want to prevent your wedding?" - Hans joked again
- "It won't be necessary, but I appreciate it" - she laughed.
- "Then I suppose that now that I have officially lost any opportunity with you, I will have no choice but to start looking for a wife, or do you have plans to divorce?"
- "I'm sorry to break your heart, but I'm sure you will find someone with whom you will fall in love" - She said. - "And then it will be me who will see you marry in a church"
- "Well, the invitation to my wedding may not come in a long time" - He said.
- "Then will I be invited?" - She asked feigning surprise and emotion. - "I am honored, Your Majesty" - She said mockingly. Hans approached her and hugged her, she returned the hug.
- "You will always be my best friend no matter what, never forget it" - said Hans.

Everyone had been pleasantly surprised to learn of the pregnancy of the queen of Arendelle, when Hans received the news through a letter that Elsa had written to him after being happy for her, he laughed at just imagining the expressions of bewilderment and surprise that they would have had the pesky council members upon learning of Elsa's pregnancy, after all, she had assured them that she was infertile.
Everyone had been surprised to hear the news, even Elsa in her letter had mentioned how unexpected it had been for her and that at first she thought it was nothing more than a false alarm or a delay in her period.
Even though he was in Weselton he made sure to support her and make sure that Elsa's pregnancy did not have any kind of problem, he even visited her a few times.
Hans would never forget the way the queen's blue eyes sparkled as she caressed her bulging belly, she was looking forward to the birth of her baby. He remembered perfectly the scene in which little Einar spoke to the baby that was inside his aunt's womb; telling him how much they would play and have fun after he was born.
He also found it funny to remember how Fredrik ran from one place to another trying to deal with his wife's cravings, always trying to pamper her, reassuring her and making her happy during her pregnancy.
He was reassured to see how everyone was taking care of her, even that chatty snowman that Elsa had taken to bringing to life again; Olaf. There was no doubt that in Arendelle happiness was something that had no intention of disappearing and the sad memories no longer seemed to haunt the queen.
It was all peace and love.
So when little Princess Audney was born the entire kingdom celebrated. The little princess had inherited her mother's beauty, the girl's blue eyes were identical to her mother's, but she had inherited her father's dark hair.
Noble guests from all kingdoms had been invited to the little princess presentation party, everyone wanted to see little Audney; Considered a miracle, there were many who had come with the intention of arranging a marriage between one of their children from the heir to the throne of Arendelle, but the kings were not interested in deciding on the future of their eldest daughter. They loved their daughter and wanted her to be happy and have the right to fall in love.
- "She is a beautiful girl" - Hans said. - "Luckily Fredrik's genes did not harm her" - the King of Weselton joked making the queen laugh. - "I am very happy for you, Elsa"
- "Thanks for coming and for the gift for Audney" - She said while rocking her baby. - "I'm always happy to see you, carrot head"
- "You're still lousy for nicknames, huh? Snowflake"
- "Does Snowflake seem like an original nickname? If that's a good nickname for you, I don't even want to know which one you would consider a bad nickname" - she joked. - "I definitely don't want you to give my daughter a nickname"
- "Don't worry, I know that you yourself are capable of giving a bad nickname to the girl" - Said the redhead.
They both laughed.
- "By the way, you look very pretty being a mom" - He said. - "And I know that you are and will be a great mother"
- "Thank you, sometimes I doubt it and I feel like I am panicking, but Anna, Kristoff, Gerda, Kai and Fredrik are always there when I need help, even Einar and Olaf are willing to help me take care of my little Audney" - She said. - "We are a whole team"
- "You can also count on me whenever you need it" - Hans said. The redhead approached her so that he could better observe the girl. - "That's right Audney, your uncle Hans will always be for you"
- "Uncle Hans?" -
- "Well, I could have been the dad, but someone rejected my many proposals" - She jokingly mentioned.
- "You are a drama queen" - Elsa said. - "Anyway, I must go to greet the other guests, I hope you continue having fun, meet someone, maybe you end up finding your true love" - She suggested jokingly. - "Show yourself tonight, Hans Westergard, it's your time to shine"
She walked away and was lost among the guests, Hans smiled. - "It is impossible to shine more than you, sweet Elsa" - thought the redhead. He was grateful to have met her and had her as his friend. Their entire journey had been a great adventure for both of them and apparently she had finally found her fairy tale ending, and that was all that was enough for him: seeing her happy and being loved by someone who was worthy of her.
