"Good morning, Kristoff," Anna announced cheerfully, stepping into the kitchen.

"Your Majesty," Kristoff replied with full propriety, raising his eyebrows and giving a subtle nod in the direction of the kitchen maid.

"Oh!" Anna exclaimed, "they have you working early this morning, Oline."

"Your Majesty," she smiled, "there's a dinner for the visiting Russian royalty this evening, so they needed me to start the preparations early."

"My goodness, I quite forgot!" Anna exclaimed. She glanced over at Kristoff, who grimaced as he lifted the final block of ice.

"Your Majesty, I hope you enjoy your day," Kristoff announced, heading out.
