CHAPTER 5: Love at First Sight? Ah, You Mean... Taking Advantage Of at First Sight?
She had never imagined her wedding dress like this. Not that she had imagined it every second, she had just expected something more... White?
She was wearing a gray gown for God's sake. Apparently, according to the quartermaster, aka, Merida, they didn't have a ship which was full of wedding gowns.
Not that Elsa cared about her wedding look, really, she would be okay marrying that jerk by just wearing simply trousers. But the actual thought of those barbaric pirates, claiming that the ugly dress that she was wearing, was a wedding dress... It was hideous, pathetic, even grotesque.
Elsa shook her head, then took off the 'wedding dress'. Thanks to her ice powers, she created a new real wedding dress, which was actually white and way prettier.
"Queen Elsa? May I come in?" she suddenly heard a familiar woman voice as someone knocked on the door.
"You may." Elsa answered kindly, eyebrows were knitted together in confusion.
Both Astrid and Hiccup stepped into the room. Elsa raised an eyebrow, tilted her head a little to show her confusion.
"Okay. We had a pretty rocky start... But believe it or not, we are not the bad guys here. And we really want to help you... Queen Elsa, we are not pirates. Let me introduce ourselves again, I am Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III." Hiccup immediately got straight to the point as he nervously declared.
"And I am Astrid Haddock." Astrid claimed with a fond smile on her face as she stared at Hiccup.
Elsa's eyes grew wide. "You two are married?" she asked with a baffled expression on her face.
Hiccup and Astrid nodded simultaneously. Elsa stumbled a little, then sat on the closest chair while she was massaging her forehead.
"You are the Chief of Berk... What are you doing here?" Elsa exclaimed with the sudden distress as she pointed to Hiccup with her index finger.
Hiccup sighed. "We will explain everything, your majesty... But now, I think we should talk about your marriage. Your highness, if Captain Jack Frost pressures you into this marriage, then we are willing to help you." he asserted his opinion with a worried expression on his face.
Elsa didn't say anything, just let her lips to curl up in amusement.
"Your highness, you do realize that you are about to marry Captain Jack Frost, as in, one of the most famous pirates in the whole seven seas... Right?" Astrid pointed out, she wasn't sure if Elsa did grasp the reality.
Elsa nodded her head in agreement while both Hiccup and Astrid were looking at her with a confused frown on their faces.
"Believe it or not, marrying that pirate is my best shot. I am taking advantage of him." the queen professed with a confident smirk on her face.
She continued to explain when they seemed shocked due to that answer. "We have a law in Arendelle. If a king or queen isn't married by the age of 23, they have to abdicate the throne. I am nearly 23 and I am not married. Marrying Captain Jack Frost is the key to my freedom. In this case, you don't have to worry about this arranged marriage. Thank you for your concerns, but today is actually the most satisfying day of my life."
Okay, if she had to admit, the wedding didn't look bad... even okay.
The deck was decorated with miscellaneous flowers, the whole crew cleaned up and probably were wearing their most good looking clothes.
And the captain... He looked handsome..It wasn't like he was wearing a very fancy, formal suit, he was wearing normal black trousers and a white shirt, also a long classic coat that pirates liked to wear. Of course, he had his pirate hat that suited him, as if he was born to be a pirate, a captain.
For the procession, Elsa chose Hiccup to accompany her. While Hiccup was holding her arm, they walked down the aisle. She was holding a bouquet of white roses. Captain Frost was standing on the deck, staring at the bride with a look that Elsa couldn't quite understand what it had meant. His eyes seemed unimpressed but also amazed at the same time. There was a hint of excitement on the groom's impassive face.
Ignoring that, Elsa has abruptly realized a very painful fact. Hiccup was the kindest person to her in this ship, besides Astrid. But also he captured her, she barely knew this man and chose him for the procession anyway. It hurt her a lot that her father could have never been able to escort her, he died before seeing his daughter getting married. She wouldn't have a chance to celebrate her wedding with her family and friends.
And Anna... Anna was definitely going to kill her. Arranged or not, she was marrying without her sister. She couldn't bear the thought of seeing her sister's crestfallen, sad face.
Elsa pushed her thoughts away when she heard the officiant's opening remark. She was too much deep in thought that she couldn't realize she was facing the groom, whose face expression looked quite amused right now. God, she absolutely detested that smug smirk.
Her stomach turned upside down when the officiant handed her the ring. For a second, a horrified expression resembled on Elsa's face as her eyes grew bigger in fear. Luckily, she covered it with a solid, poker face.
She really was getting married to a pirate.
"Captain Jack Frost, do you take Queen Elsa of Arendelle to be your wedded wife, to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, and forsaking all others, be faithful only to her, for as long as you both shall live?" the officiant gave the usual speech.
The groom, stared at the bride's eyes with meaningful, deep blue eyes. "I do." Jack Frost simply declared, eyes refused to leave Elsa.
"Queen Elsa of Arendelle, do you take Captain Jack Frost to be your wedded husband to live together in marriage? Do you promise to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health and forsaking all others, be faithful only to him so long as you both shall live?
Elsa closed her eyes, had an urge to puke. She took a deep breath, then exhaled, opened her eyes when she eventually found her courage. "I do."
"Queen Elsa... I hope this marriage will be beneficial for both of us." Jack Frost has probably made the shortest wedding vow of all time, but hey, at least he was honest and did not bother to use meaningless words.
"Captain Jack Frost, as you said, I wish this marriage will have good effects on our lives." Elsa made her vow with a very professional and distant tone.
The groom took the ring from the officiant, slide it onto the bride's ring finger. Elsa did the same.
"I may now, pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Elsa froze while her eyes were wide open in shock. She had totally forgotten this one. On the other hand, Captain Jack Frost still calm, he didn't stand idly by.
The man carefully grabbed Elsa left hand, kissed the top of her hand politely. Elsa visibly sighed in relief, the man offered her a kind smile.
Maybe he wasn't as bad as she had claimed.
