(A/N): thank you guys for the love. i had these chapters written out, i figured i might as well post them. Im very happy that you guys are enjoying. thank you xoxoxo -N.A.S.GMorning rose quickly and Kristoff was exhausted. Anna had had another episode of stomach troubles throughout the night. Quickly and without paying him any mind, a maid ran in with wet towels. Soon another, then another, then another, until there was at least ten women inside the restroom with Anna. The blonde man made a face. He didn't exactly like rheir privacy being invaded, and he honestly felt that these were simply pregnancy symptoms.
The couple were staying in the queens Chambers, though he was against it completely, Anna had let herself be convinced by the council once again. He couldn't help fighting against her, but he had been advised, by maids, doctors, and the whole kingdom practically, to not make her have any strong emotions. It meant he could not tell her anything, or it could be bad for the baby. So all he could do was sit there and agree to everything anyone but him proposed.
He sighed and began out of the room, looking back he he shook his head, his beautiful wife was being tended to. There was no way he could even get near her anymore, not without someone being there to interrupt them. Leaving the maids tend to his wife he stepped out. Now he knew why Elsa was usually in a sour mood.
A long while passed and he was met with Kai. "Are you alright sire?"
Kristoff was just standing there in the middle of the ballroom, his eyes glued to the floor. He wasn't sitting, he wasn't looking around. He was just there standing, in deep thought.
The blonde nodded his head to the gentle mans question, but Kai did not budge, he knew, oh he knew that he wasn't as he assured. "This whole thing must be hard for you."
The blonde turned to look to him, and smiled slightly. "It's new to me. It's all." Kristoff dismissed the conversation and without more walked out straight to the stables. He made to grab his lute from one of Svens saddle pockets and he began to strum. Missing the days where he was simply an ice harvester with his princess wife.

They had been going on and about, they were arriving to their first town, though Arendelle had many, only 10 had been chosen as agricultural lands. Most were flat lands which were all near canals.
It was indeed true that they were to become the biggest agriculture providers in Scandinavia, the first to provide to a country as big as China.
The couple arrived to their first destination. Men had been stationed by the head Knight of town, and they were waiting for her.
The town here was gorgeous. It had many small houses, a giant water well in the middle of town. A square, and many trees, her father had been absolutely right, Arendelle and it's lands were the most beautiful in the world.
They had mills, the town was rich with wheat, and all across she could see the many flat lands that were unused. Waiting for their new plans.
The carriage soon came to a stop, and the queen could hear prince Hans speaking to the man that had been stationed to wait for them.
"We are honored that we have the presence of our royal highness, Queen Elsa."
Hans got off from the royal steed and presented himself as Berry Van Buren, he presented to the man his papers and soon they began off again.
Elsa sat inside the carriage and from the window she could see the many people of this town, Elk Grove, it was a big town, and soon it was going to be prosperous.
They arrived to the ministers home, and soon they swept Elsa off her feet.
The man that greeted them was a rather good looking young man, his hair was short and brown, his eyes were light green, almost in a blue hue, his nose was slightly rounded, and his jaw was handsome.
He was wearing rather normal clothing, but the way he walked spoke wonders about him. Elsa was presented to him by Hans, and the man bowed to his queen.
"It is the utmost honor to be in her royal highness' presence." His voice was deep and all Elsa could do was nod as he bowed.
The prince stayed off to one side of the carriage, taking on his role as gaurd. Deep down he felt threatened, he saw the way the man looked at the queen.
"My name is Lars Jostein, and I am honored that her royal highness set her eyes on these lands, for production, and growth in our economy."
The man took Elsa's hand and he placed a small gentile kiss on the woman's wrist.
Elsa's eyes went wide, and she discreetly looked towards her husband. She couldn't help but notice his stoic face, furrowed brows, and red cheeks. It was more than obvious that he did not like what Lars had done to her. Though it was one of the most innocent things in the world.
The brunette man invited the queen into his home, leaving Hans to stand on his doorway, keeping gaurd. Standing, until they came to a settlement.
Elsa was invited tea, and a seat, in an office, she spoke to the man, and soon the two settled the conversation. He was updated on what was to be done and how and everything fell into place.
"Now if you'll excuse me..." The queen made to stand after long hours talk, Lars held her back by her hand. She had half a mind to summon her powers until he let her go.
"I'm sorry for my intrusion my queen... But it's difficult for me... I mean if I may?"
He stood to meet her eyes and boldly made the comment. "I had heard that you were looking for a suitor, your highness, and I will honestly say, I am very interested."
Elsa closed her eyes and took a step away from him. "Did my council say this to you?"
The man let a smile slip through his teeth, "I can see this is a touchy subject. My most sincere apologies m'lady, I had no idea you weren't aware. Please," he bowed to the queen once again, "ignore my bluntness."
The queen made to exit but he called on her once more, only this time holding the door open for her. "I would like to make this up to you my queen. Today is the beginning of Elk Groves festival, stay for a few days. My home is open for you and your trusted gaurd."
Elsa turned to the prince and though his face was stone his eyes betrayed him, she could tell he disliked the idea, but as queen she could not deny such an offer so quickly. "I will see how much time we have on our hands, we have many stops to tend. Thank you for your humble and kind offering. We will indeed settle for tonight, but I do not trust we will be staying longer."
Hans heaved an irritated cough, but said nothing. He stayed there motionless, until the blonde called to him.
"Now if you will excuse us, I would like to see the town."
Lars lost no chance. "If you would like, I would be more than willing to accompany you to give a small tour." He made towards her, but she lifted a hand.
"It's alright. My gaurd has much experience in traveling. He used to be a special prosecutor, he knows all my country."
The minister turned to Hans, and with his head high, nodded, "as you wish your majesty." He turned around, and began towards his home. "I will be here m'lady if you may need anything."
Elsa politely nodded with a smile. "Thank you."
She turned to Hans and gave him her hand, so he could help her walk down the street. They made quickly to the town square, Elsa felt childish.
He walked by her side in silence. And Elsa seemed to pick up on his mood. Though he knew he was no one to claim her, he couldn't help but feel jealousy. He frowned at the idea of encountering the situation again.
She was an available monarch, as far as anyone knew, except for them and the priest who married them.
"Are you alright Prince Hans?"
The redhead nodded, knowing that he had no rights to say a word to her, after all it wasn't she who had advanced towards that man.
"Yes." He stared straight ahead, without looking to the queen.
But Elsa pressed on, "It's about Lars isn't it?"
He stopped and pressed his lips in a thin line. "I understand what's happening your majesty. And I also fully understand that no one but us knows about our marriage. Sadly I'm not a piece of wood, I unfortunately can't control my emotions sometimes."
She blushed slightly, if only he knew that he was the only man who could make her feel the way she did. If he only knew that he was the only one she could think of. As if she was Bewitched by him.
"For your peace of mind, you have me in your hands." She stared at him not caring that there was people watching them.
Xoxoxo
Soon a band began to play, and the sun soon set. The queen graciously sat at the very front line of entertainment. Hans had been dismissed by the minister and she was left alone with Lars.
The prince stood ahead, watching the people dance, and the lights of the colored lanterns, beemed everywhere. There was many drunks, and loud music. It was true, they were beginning the lantern festival.
He was joined by two gaurds, who were heavily drinking, and carried a jug of liquor in their hands.
"Hey pretty boy!?" Hans snorted sourly and turned to look at the two.
"Want a drink?" He contemplated the offer for a bit, but in the end shook his head.
One of the two murmured something offensive, but Hans knew better than to let it get to him.
"You think your-" the man hiccuped, "better than us cause you're a royal gaurd." Suddenly the man was in his face with his cup of liquor spilling everywhere.
Hans said nothing to the man, and kept his gaze locked in on Elsa. He could tell by her facial expression that she was beyond uncomfortable with all the commotion going on.
"C'mon tough guy, say something." The man began to provoke Hans again and the other just drank and drank the stuff, his nose red already from too much.
The prince knew better than to respond, so he pushed past him and walked out towards his wife.
"Your majesty?"
Elsa looked to him with an expression of gratitude.
"Ha-Berry!" She stood quickly, Lars was nowhere in site, it had been obvious he had gotten tangled in the drunk mess of the people.
There was bouts of dancing, and lights and drinking, loud music with no rhythm anymore. This place would put Arendelles festivities to shame.
The two quickly made to return to the ministers home, where they would stay the night and leave first thing in the morning.
Hans lifted the queen and set her on the horse, he mounted the steed and sat her in his lap. She snuggled close to him appreciating his scent. She was happy he had not drank that evening.
The horse galloped steadily, and after a little they arrived to the home.
He helped her down, and the queen landed face to face from him, her arms wrapped around his shoulders, and Hans laid his hands on her waist. They looked at each other, until a cough interrupted them.
Hans quickly let go of her, and Elsa did too. "Thank you Berry."
The prince nodded and turned to look towards the person who had seen them.
It was the same stationed gaurd that was in the town entrance.
Elsa blushed heavily as she walked on past them, she left behind trails of snowflakes.
"Well, I see why she has no interest in Sir Lars." The man chuckled deeply and Hans placed his hands behind his back.
"Word surely spreads quickly here." He turned to face the royal steed, and began towards the stables, reading it for the night.
The gaurd nodded, "it does." With a cruel smile he pressed on. Your dormitory is just ahead of the stables."
The redhead ignored the man, feeling ashamed of himself and slightly irritated.
"Have a pleasant night Van Buren."
Xoxoxo
"Are you positive your majesty, the festival is young, I'm sure you can spare a few days." Lars tried to convince the queen but she was not accepting. She honestly wondered how he was up and running after last night's drinking session.
"I thank you for your hospitality Lars, but no. We really need to get going."
He nodded understanding, she was after all a very busy woman. "As you wish my queen. Please be sure to visit again soon."
Hans strapped the goods they had given to her royal highness to the carriage and turned only to be met with the man placing a kiss on Elsa's cheek.
She blushed horribly and quickly walked away, not even waiting to be helped on the carriage by Hans. This man was indeed detestable.
The prince angrily pulled on his jacket staring at the brunette man. He mounted the carriage and gave him an ugly look.
"Don't get to attached to her son. She's not for you."
With his hands on the reins, Hans smirked evily with a brow raised high. The carriage sped away, leaving behind Lars and his town. If only they knew.

Jet Rhyus stomped tiredly. He was making an enormous amount of time. He had only been sleeping three hours a day, he had traded horses along the way, because none would last him long without proper rest. If he was correct he had reduced almost three months walk. But still the way there was far.
The sun beat on his back heavily. His hair was stuck to his sweat covered face. His facial hair was grown out, his clothes were now torn, and his shoes were beginning to thin.
But the potion and knife were very secure. Even if it was the last thing he did. He was going to have Elsa. It had nothing to do with the crown anymore. It was pure vengeance on the bastard that got in his way. He would not only cut him, but rip his body open, while he screamed.
A low evil chuckle came from his lips. That thought pleased him.
Xoxoxo
Elsa sat calmly by a river, the breeze was slightly chilly, but the sun was high in the sky. She contemplated a shower out in the wilderness, but dismissed the idea. She was wearing a long white dress that fitted tight in her breasts and fell loose from there, with a long translucent cape behind her. She had a beautiful white flower on her braided hair.
Hans returned from his business, and couldn't help but admire her. They were not far from the next town, but he really had no rush.
Withought thought he went to her, and sat right by by her side. "I will never tire of telling you how beautiful you are."
A smile reached her lips and her eyes locked in on his. He kissed her and the queen kissed back.
He pulled away but kept his eyes on her lips. "We should arrive tonight, to Sun Valley. If we go now, we might-"
Her eyes flashed pink and she bit his lip. "I think Sun Valley can wait."
She stripped herself and stood, walking out towards the river. Once in the water she called him over.
The prince stared at her from the soil, and debated on entering the water. The wind was cold but he knew he couldn't give up the opportunity.
He stripped himself too, and walked into the water, and caught his sirens lips on his. If their love was a sin, then he would not regret going to hell.

James heart ached. They had asked for another of his daughters hand in marriage, and he felt that now there was no going back. Soon he would be left alone.
He has blessed the marriage, but that didn't stop it from hurting.
The harvesting had come to a stop, and now the winter was taking over. Soon there would be snow storms hovering over all of Arendelle, and with the queen not home, they would be as harsh as when they didn't know about her powers.
The fjord would freeze, and there would be no trades this year, not unless the queen returned.
He heaved a sigh though and his mind wandered again to his daughters, what was he to do if they all left him? Would he have to spend the winter alone?"
"Father!" Heidi came to him so suddenly that he was startles. When his eyes met her he was amazed, she had the happiest of face he had ever seen.
"Father, I'm pregnant!"
James eyes bulged and a wide smile took over his lips, maybe it was not going to be so lonely after all. He hadn't thought about the grandkids.
He boomed a loud laugh and went to his daughter and hugged her high in the air.
"Oh if only Berry was here, he'd be so happy too!"
He quickly set his daughter down and laughed. He had received a letter from him a week ago, and he had informed him of his next stop.
He was going to tell him all about it. It wasn't the same as speaking to him, but it made up for his absence.
Heidi giggled, and bit pressed her lips together. How she regretted not marrying Berry, not just for her sake, but for her father's.
She placed a kiss on her papas forehead and smiled, she laughed as he went on and on about how he was going to watch it, and cherish it, and help it grow. "If it's a boy, we'll call him-"
She cut him off, "James... That's the name I've chosen if it's a boy."
James stopped writing and turned to look at his daughter, tears forming in his eyes. "Thank you my daughter. Thank you for the best of gifts." He placed his hand over her unswollen belly and then hugged her.
"Come father!" She gripped his hand and pulled him out, he was the first she had told.
Xoxoxo
"You don't look like a royal gaard to Mee!" The little man spoke in a strange accent and all Hans could do was roll his eyes.
"Aim thee son of Efrain, and we seen meny royal gaarrds and your nott won ef them."
Queen Elsa stepped out the door tall and graceful with her head high in the air and elagance on her every step. She had settled matters with the Knight and she now wanted nothing more than to leave Sun Valley. They again would stay for one night, then leave in the very morning.
"Now my family and I, would appreciate your company my queen, this evening."
Elsa sighed but nodded her head, "I will be more than happy to join you."
The day passed by without much happening, Elsa had laid in the room they had provided, are and had fallen asleep. Hans had been nowhere in site, and she was sure he wouldn't be until early the next morning. She was inside the house of the Hansen family's home, and there was absolutely no threat in the beautiful town. All was in order, and perfect.
