A/N: I made a promise to my readers that I would warn ahead of time if the story took a dive into the darkness. This story is rated M for a reason. This is not intended for kids. You have been warned.
Mattias steeled himself as he felt the temperature drop. "That is enough for right now, You've had a long journey, I'll have the waitstaff show you to your room." General Mattias suggested as he took in his queen's discomfort. Elsa immediately turned and walked up the stairs and past her sister who was waiting in the foyer. "Elsa, wait, what's wrong?" She called out as her sister walked out of the front door. She gasped when she looked down at the ice path left where her sister was. Elsa. Anna grabbed her chest as her heart clenched.
Anna turned to Mattias after she had Kai show the king and queen to their guest room. "What happened?" She waited impatiently. "Iver told them it was consensual and that he has witnesses which he does as she was trying to protect you." Mattias finished with a frown. Anna's stomach sunk. "She was under distress and of course she would say anything to protect me. Is that why she stormed out of here?" She said as she bit her lip. The council won't believe him will they? She thought to herself as she walked towards the throne room. Elsa ran out the door and through a back gate of the courtyard that led to the Fjord before she pitched forward and emptied her stomach. I just want this nightmare to end. I saw the look in their eyes, They believed him. She sunk to the ground, and she leaned back against the stonewall of the castle. She looked out on the Fjord and saw Nokk trotting up to her. "I'm fine." She whispered. Mistress, you do not look well. You most certainly are not fine. He rang in her head. "I will be fine." She challenged back. Mistress, I know it's not my place, but you have to confront these demons or you will continue to spiral out of control. He tried again. "I'm not out of control, Nokk, and you are right it is not your place!" She snapped back as snow began to fall. Shit. She glared at him as she tried to calm herself down to stop the snow. Mistress, Please don't go. He pleaded as she walked through the gate.
Maren jumped as the door abruptly opened showing a very upset winter spirit. "What's wrong?" She carefully asked. Elsa closed the door and shook her head. "They believe him." She began to sob as she sunk to her knees. Maren dropped her book and scrambled off the bed to get to the fallen spirit as she shivered when ice began to creep down the walls from the ceiling. "Elsa, It's going to be okay, everyone knows what he did was against your will." Maren softly said trying to soothe the winter spirit. Elsa shook her head again and pulled out of her embrace, "I got off to it." Her voice broke and she watched Maren recoil at the heartbreak. "I don't understand." Maren replied. "My body responded to him doing the things he did." She continued in a sullen whisper. There is the guilt that I've been sensing from her. The tears started to stream down Maren's face as she watched her love breakdown. "Elsa." Maren whispered as she wiped the tears from her own face. "Your body was responding to being stimulated. It's not that you wanted him." Maren whispered and hoped she wasn't about to be corrected. Elsa nodded, "I was so confused when it happened. I'd understand if you want to leave to go back to the forest. I can have Nokk take you." Her voice again broke as she waited for her fears to be confirmed. "When are you going to stop questioning my love for you?" Maren asked as she lifted the winter spirits chin. "How can I not when I just admitted to being pleasured by my rapist?" Elsa tried to pull away. "It was a desperate situation. I trust you." Maren urged as she cupped Elsa's face. Elsa closed her eyes and leaned into the touch. "I'm so sorry." She whispered out. Maren pulled her into a hug as the ice started to dissipate. "You have nothing to be sorry for." She whispered into her neck. Elsa and Maren began to talk about everything that had happened leaving no detail spared.
A few hours later everyone gathered into the dining hall, Elsa and Maren were the last to enter trying to ignore the hard stares from their guests. Anna set down her glass of wine and smiled. "There you two are, we were just discussing how you two met." Anna suggested as they sat down to the feast in front of them. Elsa smiled and relayed the story of her first few days in the forest as she held Marens hand. Maren looked around with a slight blush on her face as it looked like all eyes were on her. I hate being the center of attention. She thought as she looked at her girlfriend who just finished an edited version of their fishing expedition. Elsa smiled as the dignitaries began having small conversations amongst themselves. Elsa looked down at her plate of roasted meat and frowned. This looks gross. Elsa swallowed thickly as she tried to focus on something else in the room. She looked around the room and frowned as Queen Alina stared with a look of disgust on her face at her holding Maren's hand. "Is something the matter?" Elsa immediately asked.
Queen Alina looked in shock at the question and sat down her fork, "I don't understand why the savage is at the table with us in the first place." She looked to her husband who nodded in agreeance. The water in the cups around the room froze instantly as the temperature dropped. "I want to remind you that you are only here because it was required by my council because your son committed acts against our throne. I will not allow you to disrespect my girlfriend, her name is Honeymaren. As far as I am concerned the only savage is locked in the dungeon downstairs!" Elsa fumed as Maren squeezed her hand. "Calm down, love." She whispered to Elsa. Anna cleared her throat, "It's getting late, I think it's best if we all retire for the evening as the trial is in the morning." She suggested as everyone stared at the ice queen in shock. Elsa felt her magic ricocheting around her body when she pushed away from the table, walking away without a word as all the guests looked at her in either shock or awe. Maren stood and followed with a quiet apology to Anna. "I'm sorry, I'll go check on her." She said as she sped up to catch up with Elsa. "Why I never." Queen Alina looked at her husband. "I would suggest watching what you say with my sister. How she allows you to even be near her is beside me." Anna stated as she stood to leave noticing that her sister hadn't touched her food. "Kai, would you please take Elsa's dinner to her." She asked as Kai immediately picked up the plate of food. "Thank you." She smiled as she turned to leave out the same door as Elsa.
Elsa was already pacing on her balcony trying to calm herself down when Maren came into the room. I cannot believe the audacity of that woman talking down on my girlfriend. She fumed as her bedroom opened. "Elsa." Maren called out as she took a gulp at her girlfriend's fury. "Don't let those simple minded people ruin the rest of your evening." Maren calmly stated as she walked over to pull Elsa into an embrace. Elsa leaned to capture Maren's lips when a steady knock was heard from the door. You have got to be kidding me. Elsa glared at the door. "Queen Anna insisted I bring your dinner to you as you hadn't eaten anything yet today." Kai called through the door. Maren's brow furrowed at the winter spirit as she turned to open the door. She grabbed the dinner plate. "Thank you." Maren smiled as she closed the door. Elsa felt her stomach roll as she looked at the plate of food. "I'm really not hungry." She said as she turned away from the sight. "You have to eat, and Anna made sure it was your favorite." Maren tried again walking over to set the dish down on the desk in the room. Elsa walked over and frowned at the plate. "I really can't. My stomach is not agreeing with roast and potatoes." She said with her hand over her mouth. Maren's brow furrowed, but she didn't push the topic. "Why don't I start a bath for us?" Elsa asked. "If you promise to eat a big breakfast." Maren waited for a reply. "Fine." Elsa said as she turned to gather a nightgown from her wardrobe. "I'll just run this downstairs to the kitchen." Maren said as she picked up the plate.
Elsa just finished adding lavender oil when Maren walked into the washing room sniffing in the air. "That smells wonderful." Maren said with a smile. Maren quickly shrugged out of her hide clothing and blushed as Elsa appraised her with darkening blue eyes. "What's going on in that head of yours?" Maren laughed, sighing as she sank into the washing tub. "That I'm the luckiest woman alive to have you to myself." She said as she took her dress off to join her lover. Elsa leaned back against Maren and smiled as she felt warm kisses start from just under her ear and move down her neck. "I miss spending time with just you." Elsa whispered out as Maren lightly sucked on her pulse point smiling as she heard the winter spirit lightly moan at the sensation. Maren wrapped her hands around Elsa relishing the feel of her slick skin from the water. Elsa grinned, and she pulled up to spin around to straddle her startled girlfriend. "What are you.." Maren didn't finish her question before Elsa pressed her lips to hers. The kiss deepened as Elsa threaded her fingers into Marens dark hair. Maren ran her hands down Elsa's sides resting her hands on her hips. Elsa pulled back from the kiss, "Touch me." She whispered against Maren's lips. Maren didn't hesitate gliding her fingers at the top of her girlfriend's thigh smirking as Elsa bit her lip in anticipation. She dipped her fingers down and gently began rubbing small circles against Elsa's bundle of nerves as the winter spirit leaned her forehead against Maren's. Maren increased the speed of her fingers causing Elsa to brace her hands on Maren's shoulders, trying to ground herself. Elsa captured Maren's lips as she felt the warmth build at her core as Maren pushed two fingers into her. Elsa broke the kiss as she loudly moaned when Maren curled her fingers against that sweet spot. "Shh..They'll hear us." Maren whispered against Elsa's lips as she strummed her thumb against Elsa's clit. Elsa shuddered as a loud moan tore from her throat, "I don't care." She huskily replied as her hips rolled in rhythm with Maren's hand. Maren's other hand came up to roll Elsa's nipple in her fingers causing Elsa's head to fall against her lover's shoulder. Maren slid her hand down to rub circles on the winter spirits bundle of nerves causing her body to freeze as she screamed her release. Maren kissed the side of Elsa's head as she moved to get out of the tub. "Come on sweet spirit, let's get you dried off and to bed." She said.
