YAHO! I'M BAAAAAAACK! DISCLAIMER! I DO NOT OWN DISNEY/FROZEN.
dontrunintofirexoxo - you are so spot on on your thoughts. KUDOS! I've drafted this chapter a month ago and I was surprised about the similarities of your review.
Thank you sooooo much for the reviews, favorite and follows. You all inspired me so much!
I hope you all enjoy this chapter haha.
"Just kill me! Ugh!" the man groaned in pain.
"Tell me who your master is so we can end this" said the glacial eyed man who was wiping his bloodied hand. He let out an innocent smile. "Our Queen is not a patient woman, be thankful she appointed me to this. My little brother would've killed you if he's the one who's standing here."
The prisoner stared at the sick smile of the man who lifted his chin.
"You better tell me everything."
"No!" the prisoner defiantly replied.
"Suit yourself." the glacial eyed man had kicked and punched the man until he was in the brink of unconsciousness.
One of the castle's drawing room, the people inside were all in deep thought, while Marshall and Eric were standing guard outside. King Frederic was sitting on a settee with his daughter, Rapunzel. The Duke of Weselton was sitting on a high backed chair with a cup of tea in hand. Olaf was at the window seat with his arms crossed. The Count of Isles was sitting near the fireplace, while Elsa was leaning on a bookshelf with her head low and arms were crossed in front of her chest. And the unexpected seventh person inside was Anna, sitting on a chaise and staring at Elsa.
"What's our next step Elsa?"the Duke addressed Elsa informally, which surprised Anna. "Do you have a plan?
Queen Yelena left after their stand off then Elsa had angered King Arkyn. The said King had lost his patience and had threatened to raze Arendelle to the ground if they didn't give what he wanted. He immediately had asked his retinue to pack their things and set sail to the Valley.
Flashback.
"Yes. I will." Elsa answered and hand taken Anna's arm and pulled her close.
She could see in the King's eyes that he was seething with anger.
"You made a grave mistake Elsa of Arendelle. I will make sure to have my way but not before destroying you into pieces. Consider yourself warned. Your reign will end at the tip of my sword through your chest." his eyes then shifted to Anna. "You will be mine."
Elsa didn't back down. "Do your worst, Arendelle will stand against you."
The King huffed and left.
Elsa released Anna's arm and sighed. She lost two of the possible allies, The Kingdom of Northul in the North and the Kingdom of the Valley across the western sea. She has to make a plan and fast.
End of Flashback.
Elsa was silent for a moment before looking up. "The threat of King Arkyn was not an empty one, he would gather forces to bring us down. Our fleet is ready for an invasion with the combined power of the Coronan fleet. Our foot soldiers had increased in numbers after the voluntary enlistment of men and women of Arendelle who wanted to join the army."
"But it is still not enough to match the massive army of the Valley." Count of Isle countered. "However the Lords of Arendelle would be willing to lend their private armies and my own to joined the ranks if you do your part."
Elsa was trapped. King Arkyn demanded marriage, she wouldn't comply to that because of the people of Arendelle were at stake. Either way Elsa was bound to face a rebellion of the lords and her people or an invading army. She didn't have any choice but to choose the people of Arendelle over the assurance of a foreign King.
"What about Northul? You had spoken to Queen Yelena haven't you?" King Frederic asked.
"I did." Elsa answered shortly. She didn't want to let them know that she had threatened the Queen of Northul by conquering the northern lands.
"And?" the Duke further asked.
"What we had discussed would only be appropriate to be discuss with the council." Elsa lied. She didn't want to let them know things had started to go down. She had to fix this right away.
Her answer received and eyebrow raise by the people who heard it.
"Very well." the Duke answered. He wasn't satisfied with Elsa's answer. There was more to it.
"So would you accept the lords' terms?" the Count of Isle asked. "Or you lied just to save your face to King Arkyn?" the count taunted.
"I didn't lie! And I accept the lords' terms!" she growled but then clenched her hands in anger as she saw the smirk on the Count's lips. He goaded her to agree and because he knew she wouldn't want to be seen as weak. Now she has to marry her enemy, whether she like it or not. Elsa was forced into submission.
"What terms?" Anna asked. Feeling left out.
"The reason why you weren't tossed in a cell in the dungeon because that was part of the terms. You'll be treated as a lady and well provided for, and of couse you'll wed Her Majesty."
"No! Do not be absurd Sir!" Anna protested.
The Count gave Anna a glare. "You have no say on the matter. Just be thankful you are Rita's granddaughter or else I wouldn't care about all this."
Anna looked at him curiously. What does he meant by that?
"Now that Her Majesty agreed on marrying Lady Anna, we should proceed soon. Or maybe at the end of the week while the other guests are still here." The Duke suggested.
Elsa wanted to protest but she couldn't. She had to swallow her pride and be done with it.
"Is anyone against the proposal?" King Frederic asked.
"I think it would be appropriate to let Her Majesty to do her duty as Queen by visiting the different parts of the kingdom before announcing her engagement." Rapunzel stated while avoiding Elsa's gaze on her.
"That's perfect." Elsa reluctantly surrendered.
"That settled it then. I'll have Kai make an arrangement and we will announce your engagement after the progress." King Frederic stated.
Everyone left and Elsa returned to her room with a loud slamming of her bedroom door. She failed to noticed Anna had followed her and got in then locked the door so they won't be disturb.
"Why did you agree?!" Anna shouted.
"I didn't have a choice!" Elsa retorted. "Perhaps you don't know how hard it is to be Queen! Sometimes I wish my father had lived so I don't have to wear this cursed crown!"
"Then why did you slaughter my grandfather if you do not wish to be Queen?!"
"Because he deserved to be killed! He deserved to die!" Elsa bellowed. "All my life I've been trained to do one thing, to end him. For the past twenty years I've trained day and night just for the sole purpose of killing your grandfather! For the past twenty years people had branded this purpose in my head so they could have their vengeance! I was merely a tool for them because we have the same goal that's why I did what I did."
"You have no proof if my grandfather indeed ordered their deaths!"
"You want proof?!" Elsa removed her waistcoat and cravat before she turned around and had lifted her shirt, showing her a long scar that started from her right shoulder blade down to the left of the small of her back.
Anna gasped. "What-" she stared at the scar on the pale white skin. Anna still could see how rough it was patched together.
"I have to thank your grandfather for this!" Elsa dropped her shirt back and turned with her eyes filled with anger. "He was a greedy bastard."
"He was not!" Anna defended.
"Really now? Then why did he order his men to slaughter my family?!"
Anna shook her head. "You are just blaming him because you hated him!
"No! I hated him because he took everything from me! My father was the heir! But as Duke Rozen's son, that bastard Runeard didn't accept the idea of my father being King! He ordered his men to kill my family as we travel through the Mountain Pass going to Arendelle, because we were summoned by King Olav himself! Many nobles at that time had persuaded the King to name his heir and he did. He chose my father because he was next in line! Your grandfather knew about this and orchestrated everything." Elsa voice rose at each word she uttered. "And this scar will always keep me from straying on my path. This scar I received was frequent reminder that I have to avenge my father who was killed in cold blood by those men. My mother. . ." Elsa almost choked, her hands shook in anger. "Seeing a sword piercing my mother's chest as that man stabbed her from behind. Perhaps you couldn't imagine how traumatic it may be for three children to witness that carnage!"
"Then he wasn't satisfied by my parent's deaths. He also instructed to have me and siblings killed. A twelve year old boy and twin girls! They chased us into the forest and they killed my brother and little sister." Elsa's tears rolled down from eyes as they glare at the pale looking Anna. "You wouldn't know how it felt like to see your twin sister stabbed to death right in front of your very eyes." Elsa gritted her teeth but continued. "An eight year old little girl murdered by a man who was three times her age! I love my family but I love her more. She was with me the moment of our conception in our mother's womb. As twins have a connection much stronger than ordinary siblings. We always have each other's back. My brother and I promised to protect her with our lives but I've failed! I failed to save her!"
Elsa's voiced tone down a bit. "My brother did his best to protect me but then I woke up in a foreign kingdom, alone. Without Kristian, without Elaine and without my parents. I became an orphan because of your grandfather."
Anna was speechless and only to realize she was crying when she placed her hand to her face.
"I wanted to kill you." Elsa continued as her voice trembled. "The moment I laid my eyes on you I wanted to. You reminded me of Runeard. That's why each time I wanted you to suffer. I started to sexually attack you but then you were so afraid of me touching you, I couldn't do it. That's why I didn't take you in the castle's gallery and yet I did it in the night of the banquet, because I- but perhaps you were right. I am a monster." Elsa looked away.
"A monster molded by hate, but without hate I have nothing to go on to. I am just a shell filled with darkness. And no one can save me from it." Elsa took her discarded clothes and got out of the room.
Elsa regretted everything she said. She didn't mean to say those things. She didn't mean to leave herself bare in Anna's eyes. She said more than necessary. Her feelings were suffocating her and the pressure from her problems made her explode. She needed to be alone so she locked herself in her study.
In one of the private rooms of the castle.
"She agreed. Will the Lords of Arendelle declare their support?" the Duke of Weselton asked.
"Some were getting impatient. They wanted results. I had an appointment with Elsa later to convice her to follow through the agreement, but thanks to Arkyn's foolishness and me being in the right place at the time expedite things." the Count of Isles said.
"Lanster, we know full well how Elsa felt about this arrangement." the Duke of Weselton said as he removed his spectacles and cleaned them.
"I know. But we have to balance the harmony Runeard destroyed. That pathetic fool didn't deserve Rita in anyway." the Count growled. "And Anna is against it as well, Runeard had poisoned her mind and depicted himself a saint in her eyes."
"Yes, and she thinks Elsa is a pretender. My little birds had heard them arguing days ago." the Duke returned his spectacles back on the bridge of his nose. "Also doesn't trust any story that sullying Runeard's name, especially the one who came from Elsa's side. If we want to make this work then they should at least tolerate each other."
"I'll handle it." the Count's stated. "Arrange a meeting for us."
"Very well." the Duke still has misgivings at the loyalty of the other Arendelle Lords. "Elsa never wanted to be Queen. But if she would kill a King, she has to be ready to take his place to prevent everything from falling apart. Now the challenges of her reign has begun."
"Have her marry Anna. The unification of the three great houses of Arendelle should stop this family feud." said the Count. "Correct me if I'm wrong, from my understanding, Elsa can sire an heir. Can't she?"
"She can. She was born having a male sex, but over time female features started to show. What I don't understand was why Agnarr and Iduna had dressed their second born son a girl? Surely they wouldn't know Elsa would grow up a female."
The Counted thought for a moment. "What baffles me was King Olav was there and I was accompanying him, I was at the receiving room while they were being delivered at the Duke and Duchess' room. Once the delivery was over King Olav had proudly announced the birth of twin girls. Does he have anything to do with the concealment of Elsa's true gender?"
"We'll never know." the Duke said, obviously curious as well.
Somewhere in the castle.
A woman dressed as a servant was carrying a letter and had bumped into one of the guards, slipping the letter to his hand and had walked straight as if nothing happened.
Anna wasn't sure who to believe. Her grandfather, who did nothing but good things for her or Elsa who raped her and had killed the only family she had? But those tears and too much sadness in her voice were genuine. She could see the hurt in Elsa's eyes, she could feel the hurt through her words. All of it were genuine. For the past weeks she had known Elsa, she knew the latter would like to keep her feelings to herself. Her impassiveness and coldness were her masks, her defenses, but then the Elsa she knew was different from the Elsa who just got out of the room.
The way Elsa spoke was as if she never truly wanted to be Queen, like as if she never wanted any of this, that she only did this because she had no choice. Apart from Elsa's hot tempered and sword wielding nature, she seemed to care for her, just like what happened last night. The latter even bothered rushed for her aid and had carried her here in her own bedchamber to protect her, or maybe she was overthinking it and had only care for the child inside her.
Also the Duke wanted them to get married, as well as the other Lords of Arendelle, based on what they had discussed earlier. Each of them has their own motivations and has a role to play but they wanted one goal, for she and Elsa be bound in marriage.
Anna got out of Elsa's room to get some air so she went to one of the balconies and watched the fjord from there.
"Your Highness?"
Anna's heart skipped a beat on the way she was addressed. She turned around and saw the old man who had take care of their needs when the war was on going.
"You. . . you're the old man from the castle in the north." Anna said.
"Pabbie, Your Highness." the old man bowed.
"You might want to stop addressing me like that if you don't want to be dragged into the dungeon. I am only a Lady now." Anna smiled sadly.
"Oh is that so? I had no idea." the old man honestly stated. "I was so worried when you and your servants disappeared from the castle that day. I was wondering where you had gone to." he genuinely added. "And have you seen Queen Elsa? I was here since last night but we didn't have the chance to talk."
Anna was touched by the man's words. "I was captured by the Queen's guards and had stayed here since. What about you? What are you doing here? And no I have no idea where she is."
"I see, I was summoned by the Queen for me to attend her coronation."
Anna was genuinely surprised.
"What's the matter M'lady?"
"Nothing. . . it's just surprising for her to invite someone like you," a confused look etched on the man's face. "No! I'm sorry I didn't mean to sound like that. What I meant was you must be important to receive a special summons from the Queen herself."
Pabbie chuckled. "I completely understand. Well I was there when they were born so she was like a granddaughter to me."
"You knew her? Personally?" Anna inquired.
"Yes, I worked for her grandfather, then her father and now for her." Pabbie smiled at her.
"What was she like when she was young?"
The smile on Pabbie's lips widened at the thought. "She was like the sun. Full of life and light. She was loved by her parents and siblings, though she and her brother were often arguing over things, they were still close." he chuckled at the memories with the children. "Kristian loved to tease Elaine, that boy was Elaine's personal tormentor but he would stop whenever Elaine would snitch to Elisbet-Elsa, her older sister. Elsa would then make their older brother apologize by pointing out his mistake."
Anna could swear he was about to say the name Elisbeth, but the way he described her was the exact opposite of what she was now.
"Those were the good times." Pabbie pause. "But one winter night, a letter from the castle stating the King's deteriorating health. The late Duke was summoned and was asked to bring his entire family with him, the next morning they left and returned only to be buried with their ancestors underneath the castle. Instead of five caskets, only three returned. It was a grim news to all of us who work for them, and to those whom they treated as family. I was devastated to see not only lifeless but also incomplete family. The Duke and the Duchess as well as their youngest, Elaine, were buried in the castle's crypt together." Pabbie's voice was full of sadness.
"Then the boy and the elder sister survived?"
Pabbie shook his head. "I didn't know until weeks ago that one of them survived. Imagine my shock and glee at the sight of the heiress of Vinter."
Anna knew it was time to ask the most important question. "How did you know that she was the genuine one? How did you know she was Elisbeth?"
"They came one night undetected in the property, when she took her hood off I knew then she was the one. Her platinum blonde hair alone had convinced me, not to mention her glacial eyes. Also it did help when the Harold cousins were with her."
"The Harolds? You mean the illegitimate line of Vinter?" Anna asked curiously.
"Yes. Eric and Marshall were cousins, and I believe Marshall's older brother, Olaf, is here in the castle as well."
"What?" that large man, Marshall, was Olaf's little brother?!
"I raised those children like grandsons, they were always at the cabin and I knew it was them the moment I saw them. Also Elisbeth has her father's signet ring. Their presence was another indication that the Queen was indeed Elisbeth since those boys returned home with Captain Harold, who was injured at that time, for the Vinter family funeral, only to be shipped in secret somewhere across the sea because it was not safe for them to stay here. Even if they were illegitimate, they still have Vinter blood."
Anna slowly putting the pieces into place to get much larger picture of what happened before. Pabbie had no reason to lie, he genuinely cared for her, his story match up with the Queen's. He could be saying these to confirm the credibility of the Queen's story but he said they haven't seen each other since last night. He could be lying but then again the Queen sudden outburst was not planned. It was a spur of the moment kind of thing. Anna then wanted to ask one more important question.
"Who do you think ordered the assassination of the Duke's family?"
"I don't know but I had my suspicions, but please do not be offended."
Anna knew who was in Pabbie's mind. "When King Olav died and a new King was crowned, the first thing he did was strip the Vinter castle from it's finery. The gold, the silvers and even fine family jewels were taken. Had also demanded to surrender the castles keys to him the second time he came, but I refused even if he pointed a sword at my neck. I still have the scar where he nicked me." Pabbie turned his head and Anna saw about an inch long scar. "But thanks to this, the castle's private army had raised arms against him and this handful of soldiers and were willing lay down their lives for the house which took care of them.
"Did my grandfather stopped at that?"
"No, he didn't. The reason why he wanted the castle's keys were to look for the rumored treasure of the Vinters. He threatened to burn down a village if we refused to give them access to the castle's vaults. We had no choice but to open the gates for them but didn't give the keys to the castle. They searched for it and came out empty handed."
"Is there a real treasure in the castle?"
"M'lady, I was born and raised in the castle but I haven't seen such treasure." this time Pabbie lied. "I've been the castle's steward for decades and had access to all its doors but no treasure was found."
There was silence after that.
"It must've been hard to be away from home for a long time." Anna diverted their conversation. She wasn't comfortable hearing what her grandfather had done.
"Indeed. Her Majesty had truly changed. She was temperamental, cold, impassive, stoic and uncaring." Pabbie sighed. "There's no going back on how she used to be."
Elsa had messengers inform the Duke Wester to meet her tomorrow after breakfast, since she wasn't in the right emotional state to accommodate a guest. She wouldn't want anyone to know her inner turmoil. . . but there's always an exemption.
"Marshall. Come in." Elsa commanded. Her personal guard entered.
"What is it, Your Majesty?" Marshall asked.
"Sit. I need. . ." she faltered. "I need someone to talk to." Elsa had a need to tell at least one person, who she knew wouldn't betray her.
Marshall smiled and had locked the door. "I'm all ears." he took a seat across her.
"What should I do? The King of the Valley may bring war in Arendelle.
Marshall studied Elsa's face before answering. "We will do the best that we can to defend our Kingdom."
"Easier said than done." Elsa interlaced her hands in her desk. "And I may or may have not threatened Northul as well." she sighed. Her words made the usually stoic man's eyes widened.
"What? How? What happened?"
"Queen Yelena wanted to restore the alliance but she wanted to be like the original alliance."
"What do you mean?"
"That old woman wanted me to marry her granddaughter to form an alliance. Which was obviously out of the question." Elsa sighed again.
"Why?" Marshall probed.
"At first I thought that's a better option but our dear old Duke Weselton had firmly reminded me that I don't have power here, that I became Queen because the Lord's of Arendelle had allowed me to." she humorlessly chuckled. "Those old men wanted me to marry Anna, as you all know it, but then this offer of marriage came. But then Queen Yelena belittled our kingdom so I threatened to stake a claim on the crown of Northul as Princess Yelena's descendant, to intimidate her and everything went down from there."
"You had no choice but to follow the Duke's advise."
"If I had considered it then I'll have Northul by my side, but a rebellion of the Lords would the consequence. A civil war will break out. I am sure I'll be seen as a Usurper than a true heiress who came back to take what's hers. They still favored Anna more than me. My only advantage was I had raised an army and ascended first before her, but in truth I was a Queen without a kingdom."
Marshall was listening and of course he already knew what was happening thanks to his older brother. "Your Majesty. I am well aware how adamant your family for you to wed Lady Anna. I will not say that you should but I would like you to see to all the possibilities that would come out by having this marriage." Elsa look at him, she saw him produce a small rolled letter with a broken seal and gave it to her.
"A good news or bad?"
Marshall didn't answer.
Elsa unrolled the small piece of parchment and squinted at the small writing.
A letter arrived and it was from the castle. There's a mole in your midst, the rebel General had held a meeting with his trusted men. The rumor within the ranks was they would set Lady Anna free and use her as a symbol to gather more men that who would be willing to join their cause. I'll do my best to gather more valuable information. Please be ready for an attack. -P
Elsa gritted her teeth and crumpled the parchment.
"Elsa. The General was a loyal Eldr supporter, they are loyal to her. If you take her as your wife and managed her to trust you, those rebels will be under your command. And instead facing two wars and one rebellion, you could focus on the foreign attackers. Being attacked from both in and out of your kingdom would be a disastrous. Many innocents will be killed."
"There's no end to this, is there?"
"We can take one step at a time and maybe your first step is for you to make the right decision regarding Anna."
"You're right." she paused. " And I will handle the mole myself."
Elsa formulated a plan and it must be done in earliest convenience.
A camp in the North Mountain was filled with Eldr supporters. They were about fifteen hundred men, a regiment, had built tents and bonfires to keep them warm from the cold.
Their General was Fjordian, he had served Runeard way before he was crowned King. His service to Runeard was rewarded with one of the highest ranks in the army. He was loyal to house Eldr until he suddenly realized he would be killed by the overwhelming numbers of the Coronan soldiers as well as the Weseltons. He saw how his King fell lifeless and had seen those deadly glacial cold eyes of the Usurper Queen. Those eyes he had seen were so different from twenty years ago in the Mountain Pass, before they were filled with fear but now they weren't. Now they were the eyes of a beast filled with blood lust.
Fjordian had commanded the regiment to flee to save his own skin, not that the men who followed his lead knew of course. If they knew their general withdrew because of cowardice then they wouldn't even listen to him.
General Fjordian sighed and re-read the letters he received since they fled. Someone with power knew where they were and of course it was alarming. This letter was given by one of his men and stated that they had found it near the camp and was addressed to him.
General,
Do not be surprise that I knew where to find you. I have eyes everywhere. If you wish to survive, you should pledge your allegiance to me. I will restore your honor once you've helped me to reach my objective. Leave your reply to one of the pine trees near the river with a white painted mark on its bark.
There was no name signed and he ignored it at first but then he replied and left it to the said tree. He was asking if he could trust him and what does he needed to do.
General,
A wonderful surprised that you've written back. I know you are wary but I think you could count it as trust that I haven't told the new ruler of your whereabouts.
What I want from you was to retrieve Princess Anna from the castle, in whatever means necessary. Gather supporters using her name and if you manage to convince many, you can storm the castle and I will give you land,titles, gold, jewels and more. As a token, I had sent you a something in the small pouch as a start.
Fjordian fiddled with the purple diamond in a size of a raspberry. Surely this would cost an arm and a leg by it size. He agreed. So he had written to Anna and risk being trace just because of his greed. Loyalty be damned, Runeard died and he did not owe Anna anything anyway.
These men with him were a loyal supporter of the Eldr, it just so happen he outranked them so they couldn't do anything. But of course there were others who were loyal to him.
"General." someone called from the outside of his tent.
Fjordian hastily hid the letters and the jewel inside his coat.
"Come in." he ordered.
"The men are waiting for your for orders." said one of his trusted men.
"Did Rider came back from his scouting?"
"Yes, that's why I went here so he could share information to all of us."
"Perfect."
"Ah there he is!" said the man.
"General, John. I have news. A valuable one." said Rider as he entered the tent.
"Tell us."
"The Usurper Queen still had no idea about our location and how many we are. And according to my scout, Vinter Castle has only few guards guarding it."
"That would give us the element of surprise when we march to the one of her castles. It would be to our advantage to take the castle and garrison there." General Fjordian suggested
"And never forget the story of about the rumored hidden richest of the castle. You once told me that right? King Runeard once stormed the castle." John asked.
"Yes we did but no treasure was found." General Fjordian responded. "As for the information we have, we should take the castle but for the mean time we should wait for Anna's reply. That brat was taking too long to respond. I had dispatched the letter days ago for goodness sake."
Rider and John shared a look.
"General, you shouldn't address our Queen in such manner." John stated.
"Apologies." The General grumbled and left.
John looked at Rider and stated. "Something is not right."
Elsa was standing in the balcony of her room, inhaling the cold autumn air. Few more months then it would be the twenty first year of their deaths.
"Please tell me if I am doing the right thing." Elsa sighed as she looked up to the sea of stars in the sky. After she confided to Marshall, she felt a little bit lighter. It was true, she should see things herself before making a decision not because they told her to. Sometimes it was hard not to listen to the people who were there since she started her training. Her upbringing as a soldier who needed commands made it hard for her to ignore orders in a form of an advise.
"Who are you talking to?"
Elsa turned and saw Anna, she ignored her question and had taken her hand then dragged her towards the door.
"Hey! Where are you talking me?!" Anna asked but she was once again ignored. "What is wrong with you?!" they entered a room and to her surprised it was filled with people.
"Now that we're here, let's get this over with." Elsa glared at no one in particular.
"The Minister is on his way." the Duke stated.
"What's the meaning of this?!" Anna scowled at the people in the room.
"You and Her Majesty will have a private wedding for now." the Count of Isles stated as if it was the most normal thing to say.
Anna turned her eyes on the Queen who was also scowling.
She didn't want this. Anna thought.
Anna was staring at the scowling Queen, it was obvious Elsa didn't want it but why in Sif's name she brought her here.
"This doesn't make any sense!" Anna turned to the Duke of Weselton and she had received a knowing look from the man. She knew that look, the look that wanted to remind her of their conversation in the library, he wanted her to be Queen, but could she really endure being bound in marriage with the person who had defiled her? Even if it was necessary for her to survive and her unborn child and also to have her the power as Queen?
The memories of being forcefully kissed and touched on unwanted places was too much for her. She doesn't think she could take it once more if this marriage happened, because obviously the Queen wanted her body, she said it so herself. Anna felt disgusted being touched by the Queen once more, so she uttered words before she could stop herself.
"No. I will never! I will never marry that woman even if I am carrying her child!" after her outburst she gasped and had her eyes widened as she covered her mouth with her right hand.
"What?!" the others, except for Elsa, Rapunzel and Olaf, had asked in unison.
Uh yeah. Tada?
Please let me know your thoughts about this chapter!
Thank you!
