"So what can I do for you my prince" he said while curtseying, "I need you to take me and my sister to see your family", I said with a more serious tone, "I have no family like you I am an orphan" he said in a very calm manner, "okay let me rephrase that, take me to see the rock trolls that adopted you" then Kristoff understood what I was going on about. "why do you need to see them" he questioned, "that's on a need to know basis, look you don't have to come I really just need Sven, he knows the way" Sven popped up from eating his carrots and the sound of his name, "plus I can give him all the carrots he could want".
Sven then looked at Kristoff then at me then back to Kristoff before making up his mind and coming to sit next to me, "traitor" Kristoff shouted at him, "well very well it seems like Sven has spoken for both of us what time should we meet you" be at the palace at eight sharp that way we can put your sleigh away and hook Sven and some of our horses up to the royal carriage", I explained to him we then said our farewells till the morning, and I returned to the palace.
The next morning, I awoke bright and early I had to pay a visit to the blacksmiths, a few weeks ago he had started work on my guards uniform, I wasn't going to collect the full set just the belt, which contained the scabbards for my swords. I had had it specially designed to hold two short blades and a broadsword the rest of my armour had places where I could easily hide a variety of other weapons.
When I had returned for it I saw Kristoff in the courtyard arguing with some of the guards, I quickly stepped in when of saw one of them reaching for their blade, "what is the problem here, this man has my invitation to be here, now can you please put his sleigh somewhere safe and hook his reindeer up to the rest on the royal carriage". Kristoff just looked at the guards in a very smug way as they had to do as I commanded.
At about five to nine me and Kristoff were ready to go we were just we were just waiting on Elsa, and then she walked out she normally wore a blue over coat with what I assumed was a modest dress underneath but today instead of wearing her over coat she wore a dark blue cloak, and a light blue dress which showed off her figure beautifully, she was sixteen now like me, soon she would be married off to one of the princes of the other kingdoms and they together would rule over Arendelle.
I then set my mind to the task at hand, Elsa stepped out and Kristoff did the right thing and bowed before her, "my lady it is an honour to meet you". Elsa looked at him and then I stepped in, "this is Kristoff one of my oldest friends his parents abandoned him in the forest where the rock trolls found him and raised him. He will be our coachman today." Elsa then nodded her head at him and stepped into the coach, I then nodded to Kristoff who got up to his seat and started to ready the reindeer, I then stepped in after Elsa and closed the door behind me, I then had to pull down all the blinds in the carriage.
"Why have you pulled down all the blinds" Elsa Questioned, "Well there are two reasons, number one we cannot know the location of the rock trolls grove, number two you are not meant to leave the palace as far as most people are concerned you are at the palace and I am going on a trip around Arendelle to check our border security" I replied. "very well" she said, I then sat down on the other side of the carriage to her.
"why are you sitting there come over here that way we can stay warmer" Elsa told me, for a joke I replied by saying "as you wish my queen", then went and sat next to her. "where were you this morning I didn't see you at breakfast", Elsa asked me, "I was at the blacksmiths collecting this belt" I then tapped the belt around my waist, "what is so special about that" she asked me. The carriage we were in was quite large so I could just about stand in it, I got up and then demonstrated the might of one piece of equipment. I started to explain how it worked to her "well as you can see it looks like an ordinary belt with a sword on my left side" I did a little twirl so she could see what I was talking about, "but it actually carries five weapons, the main long sword", I pointed to my side where it rested. Then I turned around "then it also has two short sword", I then grabbed two of the buckles on the back side and pulled them out to reveal swords hidden inside, then quickly hid them again, "and finally" I said turning back around "two daggers", once again I grabbed two buckles one on each of my sides, pulling them out to reveal two more daggers. Elsa then clapped "very impressive, now who helped you with the design", how did she know I had had help, "Killian mostly", she then gave me a very odd look like she knew about the other person that had helped me, "and Anna too", I said. "much better, just tell me the truth in the first place, just like how I know you and Killian have been teaching Anna how to fight", she told me.
"How did you know about that", I asked with what I assume was a shocked face, "my window overlooks the training ground I can see everything out of it" Elsa replied with a smug look on her face, "now sit back down we still have a long journey ahead" she told me, and so that is what I did.
