Thank you for your support and reviews.

I based Elsa's clothes on early 1800's men's fashion. Her clothes were fitted for her feminine figure, they were like power suits for female CEOs in modern time. We'll get into why Elsa dressed as such on later chapters.

I hope you enjoy this chapter.

The throne room was empty aside from Elsa, who was sitting on her throne. She specifically ordered she was not to be disturb, so for good measure she took the keys for the three double doors leading to where she was in at the moment.

The entire day was spent on briefing Olaf and General Mattias regarding the specific task she assigned to them, as well as Marshall. She wasted no time on planning things thoroughly.

She placed her arms on the armrests as she leaned her back on the back rest of her throne. Elsa was contemplating what to do after since she received the news of the rebels yesterday. She had planned to start her progress tomorrow but there has been a set back, which was a much welcomed set back since she was waiting for this for twenty years.

Elsa's brows were furrowed and her gaze was locked on the rosemaling design of the sleek floorboard.

Based on the previous report, there was a traitor and Elsa could only list few names, mostly Eldr supporters.

Lord Solskinn. He was a clever politician, he knew when to back down and when to move. He's careful with his words and actions. He was also one of the lords who wanted the unification of both houses. It will be counter-productive for him to consort himself with the rebels, when he has the capability to use his army in an uprising.

"Not the one." Elsa added. "Who else?" she drummed her fingers on the lacquered wood.

Lord Jorgen. He has the same reason like Lord Solskinn. He wouldn't benefit from it.

Elsa's faced contorted at the image of the pompous Lord Leigh.

"Lord Leigh." An Eldr supporter, he was headache at first but he improved over time but she still couldn't ignore this odd feeling. Was it because he was Runeard's man before? Then what could he get from it aside from losing his head?

Elsa pondered for quite a long time. "Eldr supporters will gain nothing from consorting with the rebels since my army is much superior in strength and numbers. But what if it was someone higher?"

The Count of Isles was out of list because why would he consort with Runeard's men since he was much larger army, also it would contradict the actions he made for years.

Who would accept rebels into their service after they were branded as traitors, that would be a desperate move. Could it be a man of power who fell from grace?

Elsa's brow rose. Every so slowly her glacial eyes darkened and her knuckles turned white as she gripped the armrests of her throne. She calmly got up and unlocking the west double door then tossed the keys to Kai, who was standing by the door.

"Your Majesty, the luncheon is serve in your room as requested."

Elsa barely acknowledged Kai because she only has one goal at the moment. She was hoping she could find the proof she needed, possibly in one of the rooms.

Evening came...

Anna was left alone the entire day. Not even Elsa's shadow was in sight. She was relieved because she was able to write a letter to the General, without getting caught red handed, about the delay of her escape. The only challenge she would face was how would the letter reach the General. She carefully hid it in the folds of her dress, until she could finally go out of the constricting room. For the time she was there she contemplated whether Elsa meant what she said of she would leave her be if she stayed out of her way, but knowing the platinum blonde, she couldn't be trusted.

She had just finished her dinner and would ready herself for bed until the door suddenly opened, making her jump in surprise.

"Can you please knock beforehand?! I could be indecent for all we know!" Anna angrily shouted at Elsa. She herself was surprised on her outburst. She was not usually like this.

"There's nothing I haven't seen already so it's fine. And this is my room so I can do whatever I want." Elsa said in oddly sedated manner.

Anna was offended by the answer. She opened her mouth to retort but Elsa had offered her a black fur trimmed thick hooded cloak.

"What is that?" Anna dumbly asked and glared at Elsa.

"A cloak, obviously. Wear it."

"I know it's a - never mind. Why?"

"I would like to invite you on a evening ride outside the castle grounds." Elsa said and sighed before draping the cloak on Anna's shoulders. "Please." she added in a whisper.

Anna's brow rose almost immediately, while trying to ignore the shiver on her spine. "What's gotten into you?" she hushly responded, which was not the way she wanted to say it.

Elsa looked at her with those pleading glacial eyes. "I am trying to lessen the hostility between us, because being hostile to each other would bring nothing but senseless arguments." she grabbed her own black hooded cloak and wore it. "Look, whether we like it or not we are spouses, Why don't we just try to get along ?"

Elsa's actions were sending red flags in Anna's mind. She was thinking what was the latter's true motive and why the drastic change of attitude?

"How can I trust you?!"

"I will let you out in the castle grounds tomorrow though I wanted to extend your freedom to the village but I thought it was a risk to your safety, so only the castle grounds would be open for you."

Anna's attention was caught by the offer, if Elsa was trying to be generous then she would try her luck. She needed to be alone so she could send the letter to the General. "No guards? No Gerda?" she studied Elsa's features and saw a moment of hesitation before she answered.

"No Gerda. But Eric will still be watching you in a distance. I hope you can understand that his presence is for your safety."

Anna pondered. "Very well." if she could gain freedom by having an evening ride then she was up to it. She wore the cloak but then she was surprised Elsa's suggestion.

"You can bring your sword if you like. I know you would feel safe with it."

Anna could only nod before strapping the sword on her waist.

She was led by Elsa to the stables and on their way there, curtsy and kind smiles were directed at her. Now that she thought of it the servants was never mean to her, not even one, sure they're under orders of the Queen but who would know if they're mean or not when one was watching.

"Most of the castle servants are new. They were from the outskirts of our kingdom." Elsa said and she just listened. "They were struggling for employment to feed their families, so I thought of adding them to the castle's staffs."

Anna didn't answer.

They reached the stables and a black Arendellian stallion was already waiting for them.

Wait. Only one?

"Where's my horse?" Anna asked.

"The horses were all indisposed other than mine." It was true. The stables was empty aside from this beautiful black creature. "I hope you don't mind."

Anna mentally groaned, but for the sake of getting out of the castle she would endure being close to the latter and it would also serve her purpose of playing nicely towards the Queen.

Elsa offered her hand to Anna so she could assist the latter on the saddle. Anna reluctantly accepted the offer and positioned herself on side saddle since she was wearing a dress. She felt Elsa climbed up and straddled behind her.

They got out of the castle gates and instead of heading to the village, they went to the other direction making Anna panic in an instant.

"Where are we going?" Anna tried to look back but her vision was blocked by Elsa.

"Away from the possible assassins lurking in the shadows." Elsa simply replied.

"Are you insane or what? Riding in the forest at night is much more dangerous! Take me back!" Anna squirmed.

The horse neighed because of Anna's squirming. "Don't do that." Elsa steadied the horse. "I have men guarding us not far from where we are. I am not stupid to go out without making sure it's safe and Eric is just right behind us."

Elsa kicked the side of the horse to continue the trot.

Anna noticed they had gone way far from the castle. Dread was creeping in her chest at every step the horse made. The unfamiliarity of the place where they were going and the darkness only amplified Anna's anxiety.

"Elsa I would like to go back. Take me back." her request was not answered as they still continue to trot away. "Elsa take me back now!" Anna grabbed the reins and pulled them to turn but the latter had taken then reins from her.

"No." that's the only word came out of Elsa's lips before she urged the horse in a full gallop.

Anna screamed but soon fell silent as Elsa rendered her unconscious with a tap at the side of her neck.

A man dressed in dark clothing to mask his presence in the darkness of the night was galloping like the wind on the back of his horse. He pants as his breath became labored. Blood was rushing in his system as after he witnessed the Queen's army being led by General Mattias and a dark haired man dressed in dark blue uniform earlier in the afternoon.

For a moment he panicked because he thought their plan of invading the Vinter Castle was foiled, but fortunately for them the thousand soldiers didn't go north instead they went east.

Now the night had descended and yet he was still half-way to his destination, most probably he would arrive at dawn. He has to resport about the guards leaving, it would give them huge advantage for having the Queen's army away from the north.

The Eldr Castle was the family seat of the Dukes of Eldr, founded by Prince Einrik of Arendelle. The castle was large due to its continuous expansions over the years, it was so different from the portraits. Unlike the Vinter Castle which was fortified with stone slabs and large beams of sturdy timbers, Eldr Castle lacked fortification on the later additions to it. The original keep was design like the Arendelle Castle, stone slabs and timber but the added sections composed of small amount of stone slabs, right amount of timber and large pane glasses to let the natural light come in. However despite the new additions were not that well fortified, the castle outer walls were thick complete with ramparts and turrets.

The portcullis were thick and well made, breaching the castle's defenses would be difficult but not as difficult as the Vinter Castle, especially the terrain in the north was an advantage.

Olaf and General Mattias faced no resistance since the soldiers assigned there were borrowed Coronan soldiers.

"General Maximus." Olaf saluted his former mentor.

The General saluted back before giving his former student a proud pat on his shoulder. "My boy the last time I saw you, you were cutting the enemies open."

"And I saw you marching away to occupy this castle." Olaf chuckled. He turned and gestured towards the Arendellian General. "May I present General Mattias. The Duke of Vinter's former guard."

General Maximus extended his hand to the other General. "A pleasure to meet you General Mattias. I am Maximus, one of the three Generals of Corona."

"A great honor to meet the person who mentored our beloved Queen. My name is Mattias." he shook Maximus' hand.

Meanwhile Maximus was taken aback at his fellow General's words. "Don't mention it. I was merely assisting because it was King Frederic who mentored the Queen." he chuckled.

"Oh." Mattias said.

Olaf chuckled as well. "Anyway, let's go inside as I listen how you took the castle. Oh I brought fresh apples for you."

"Never change my boy." Maximus laughed and other two joined in.

The three high ranking officers were drinking their much preferred drinks, ale and mead, in dining hall.

Maximus had regaled the others about his victory in the Eldr lands.

He was instructed to take his men with him to secure the stronghold once the battle was in full swing. Maximus fled the battle field in haste, taking the distraction of the enemies as an advantage and made their way eastward. He and his men were expecting a well defended castle but then to his surprise there was only a handful of them. About less than hundred soldiers. Obviously they had the advantage in numbers but breaching the walls would be difficult.

Maximus was about to lay siege to the castle when the gates were opened and two portcullis were raised. The Eldr soldiers were waving white banner. He did his best not to gape at what happened.

"We are surrendering! We never wanted to fight!"

One by one swords and helmets were being thrown to the ground. Again he was shocked how young and how old the enlisted soldiers to defend such large castle. Maximus steeled himself then had the soldiers tied up and be imprisoned to the castle's dungeon.

It wasn't even half an hour had passed when a small army marched to the castle and demanding to open it for them. General Maximus didn't do what was ordered and asked who was demanding such order.

"Who was it?" Olaf asked.

"He declared himself as the heir of Runeard, he wanted the castle as part of his inheritance. After his declaration my archers were already pointed at him and his men. They scrambled off quickly as they came." Maximus explained.

Olaf smirked. "Our Queen's plan of taking this stronghold was a wise move."

"Of course. She's after all the prodigy of King Frederic."

"Yes. She is." Olaf's smirk intensified. "That is why I have to do her bidding right away." he stood up "This can't wait any longer. General Mattias, I'll leave you here to defend the castle. I have a prey to catch."

A man dressed in Arendelle uniform was riding alone towards one manor house. The manor's gates were opened for him to enter. He dismounted the moment he reached the courtyard and ran inside.

Upstairs there was plump mustachioed red-haired man, who was indulging with his greasy dinner before he was interrupted by the man in uniform.

The man in uniform bowed as he pants. "My Lord, we have to get you out of here. The Queen will have you seized and be presented before her"

The red-haired man stood up in surprise. "How dare she?!" he demanded.

"Her Generals had occupied the Eldr castle and they will seize everything given by your late father. King Runeard."

"Let her come and face my wrath!" the red-haired man stated.

"But we're outmatch by the Arendellian soldiers alone, and with the additional Coronan army on their side we wouldn't stand a chance."

The man gritted his teeth. "That bitch. She took my throne and now she wanted more. Gather our men and and take whatever valuables you can get.

In an instant men were all over the place. They took chests of gold and other valuable they could use to bolster their army.

"If it weren't to Andrew's brat, I could've had the support of my father's retainers." he kicked his chair in anger. "I should've killed you Anna Eldr."

Gusts of cold wind had awoken her. Anna opened her eyes slowly as she gained consciousness. She could hear the sound of the hooves beats and a sound of breathing behind her. Her teal eyes focused on the gloved left hand gripping both reigns while she could feel the other steadying her in place.

"Where are you taking me?!" Anna asked.

The only answer she received was another burst of speed. She knew then it was pointless to get any information from the latter. She turned her attention to the growing shadow for the castle.

For an hour more they passed the Roaring River, that's the only time she recognized where they were going. Anna had been here before. This was the place where she was captured by Marshall when she tried to escape, this place would lead them to the back door of the Vinter Castle.

They passed the cottage as they went in front of the castle. Elsa pulled the reins of the horse to a stop.

"Who's there?!" archers were pointing at them from the ramparts and two guards at the gate drew their swords. Anna visibly panicked but then Elsa spoke in a language she doesn't know

"Snow blankets the world. May the crocus unfold." Elsa stated.

"Remove the blight of cold." the guard continued.

"Take a vow and uphold." Elsa supplied.

"Kings and Queens of Arendelle shall never fall." they simultaneously said.

After that the archers withdrew and guards below sheathed back their swords then had ordered to open the gates and bowed to Elsa.

Elsa urged her horse to trot inside.

Anna was quite surprised they didn't let them in instantly, even if they knew it was the Queen who was requesting for an entry.

They reached the foyer of the castle and Elsa pulled down her hood before dismounting the horse. She then offered her hand to Anna but the latter didn't accept it and dismounted herself.

Anna stumbled a little before balancing herself.

"Where's Marshall?" Elsa asked.

"General Marshall is in the throne room. He's waiting for you, Your Majesty." said one of the soldier who took the horse's reigns.

"Perfect. Have someone assist Lady Eldr in my room, if she refuse take her to the dungeon." Elsa said before she left.

"HOW DARE YOU?!" Anna angrily said. She couldn't believed she was tricked by the Queen. Of course the latter wouldn't be that generous without an ulterior motive. "I should've known."

"M'lady, please follow me." a woman said. She was about few year younger than her. Anna was led by the woman upstairs then they stood in front of the white massive double doors.

They entered the room and to Anna's amazement, it was much larger than any room she had ever been.

"Her Majesty, had assigned me to M'lady's service."

Anna was still pissed by the Queen but she wouldn't lash her anger out to this woman in front of her. "May I ask for your name?"

"My name is Wendy, M'lady."

"And you can call me Anna. Or Lady Anna." Anna offered a small smile.

"May I take your cloak, Lady Anna?"

"Oh yes. Please." Anna was assisted by Wendy as she assisted on removing the cloak. "So this is the room of Elsa?"

The latter was taken aback on the way she addressed the Queen. "Yes, this was previously occupied by the late Duke and Duchess of Vinter."

"I see." she paused. "You can go now. I'll let you know if I need anything." Anna smiled and sat on the bed.

"Of course, Lady Anna." the woman curtsied and left.

Anna waited for about ten minutes before she opened the door and peeked outside.

"Lady Anna, do you need anything?" it was Eric.

"No. Nothing." Anna closed the door and sighed. "How can I slip out from this room?"

Meanwhile, Elsa shrugged off her cloak and gave it to one of the servants before pushing the two heavy double door open. There were to men inside, both of them were wearing cloaks.

She confidently strode to the dais and sat on the throne.

"Your Majesty." Marshall got down on one knee while the other was kneeling on the floor with his hands tied up.

Elsa's eyes narrowed at the unknown man. "Rise Marshall. Who do we have here?"

"A spy, Your Majesty. He was lurking near the castle grounds." Marshall said after he got on his feet.

"Who's your master?" Elsa asked but the man didn't answer. Instead he looked away.

She observe the man and he was not struggling to go nor angry on his capture. She wore her passive mask and calmly asked.

"Did the Duke of Weselton asked you to spy on me?"

The reaction was instantaneous. His eyes widen and had this face of disbelief. "H-How did you know?"

"I didn't." Elsa smirked. "Your face said it all." she chuckled. "If you are trying to conceal your master's identity, you must learn how to conceal your emotion."

"What we going to do with him? He had written a report about the rebels."

Elsa smiled at the spy and looked into his eyes as she uttered the words. "Return him to his master and make sure his master know that we knew all along about the rebels." her gaze was piercing to his soul. "Deliver him yourself and tell the Duke do not interfere with my personal affairs. This General is one of them, if he insisted on interfering, I am giving you permission to detain him." her smile never faltered.

"Of course Your Majesty."

Marshall picked up the man.

"And never forget what I asked you to do." Elsa reminded Marshall.

"They are ready to go. Stay safe, Your Majesty."

She was left alone in the throne room until Pabbie entered.

"Your Majesty." he bowed. "The preparation is almost done."

"Excellent. I've been waiting for this." she placed her hand on the pommel of her sword.

"We all do. It will be a good offering before their twenty first year."

"Yes. The long overdue justice." Elsa's eyes dimmed and were cast down on the sleek wooden floorboards.

Pabbie looked at her sadly, until he remembered the reason why he came. "Ah. Your Majesty, I have something for you." he procured a small rectangular box about three inches in length and two and half inch in width. "I tried to meet you a while back on the day of your coronation but you were so busy with state affairs and I wasn't able to give them." he strode near the throne and passed the box to Elsa.

Elsa's eyebrows furrowed but took the box. "What are they?" she asked.

"I think it's best for you to open it." he smiled sadly.

Carefully, her pale hands lifted the cover. Her eyes were immediately filled with tears as she stared at the golden signet ring with a blazing sun engrave on its surface, and the other was silver band with milgrain-set of small blue diamonds around it. Her breathing became unsteady as her hands shook but her eyes were firmly staring at the two rings.

"I took them before Her Grace was laid to rest. I was thinking of sending them to her brother the King but I felt like they shouldn't leave Arendelle. I buried them so they won't get lost or looted."

Elsa blinked her ears away but she failed as they rolled down her cheeks. "Thank you." she closed the box and rose from her throne and gave the old man a hug. "Thank you Grandpabbie."

The man was stunned but returned the hug. "They are proud of you. I am proud of you." he broke the hug and smiled. He wiped her tears. "Rest so you can have strength when they come." he held her hand using both of his hands. "The room is ready whenever you are."

Elsa nodded and smiled at him. "Thank you."

The same night at the rebel camp.

Rider was on his way to his General's tent so he could ask for a final scouting mission to the castle. He was confident that his General would grant his request. He would take this opportunity slip out to meet his beloved and report about the seige, so they could prevent it. Rider didn't want his men to die as long as there was another way to prevent it.

He saw the General's tent was still lit by an oil lamp so he went in.

"General I would like to-" he trailed off as the General was not in. "Hm where could he be?" he walked towards the table and saw a clutter of papers on it. He sighed was about to go when the corner of his eye potted something sparkling on the Generals cot.

Rider went closer and took the sparkling stone, which was half out of its pouch.

"What's this. Purple diamond?" Rider knew how rare purple diamond was, they could only be found in the Miner's mountain.

"This could be another kind of gem." Rider shrugged and put the gem back to the pouch and placed it back on the cot, it made an odd sound. He raised his brow pressed the cot and it gave a squeaking noise, far from the sound he just heard. He did it again but on the spot near the pouch this time.

There it was. It sounded like paper being crumpled.

He lifted the thin sheet and saw two letters with blank wax seals, no crest embossed on them. A sudden wave of dread had gripped his chest. He took them and read their contents.

His eyes widened and felt betrayed on the things he read. The General was dealing with another power hungry man who wanted to be king. It all make sense now. The General's words of wanting someone much stronger to the throne, but who was it? There was no signature or any hint of the sender's identity other than the purple gem.

But more importantly retrieving the Princess was not for restoring her, it was for using her as a tool to gather more men so they could push the Usurper Queen off the throne then they would enthrone this unknown sender.

He has to go. He has to inform Rapunzel all he knows.

"What do you think you're doing?!"

Rider's head turned to the man who he thought a loyal General to the house he served.

Rider dropped the letters and pointed at him, he was seething in anger. "You are a traitor!" he drew his dagger and pointed it to his Gener- no he was not his General anymore. He was a traitor. "You are gonna use the heiress for your selfish cause!"

"I had served the Eldrs with my utmost loyalty long enough but what did I receive in return?! I am branded as a traitor and enemy of that murderer Queen. I think I deserve more than that!" Fjordian responded as he drew his sword and attacked him.

"You deserve nothing!" Rider raised his hand to block the sword using his dagger. He gritted his teeth and had pushed his enemy with all of his might. "I will make sure you wouldn't lay a hand on Queen Anna."

Fjordian smirked and shouted. "TRAITOR! RIDER YOU HAD BETRAYED US ALL!"

In an instant Rider and Fjordian was surrounded by their men.

"You were receiving letters from an unknown man who desired the throne of our Queen!" Fjordian accused him as he pointed his sword.

"You are the one who was corresponding to the man! He had betrayed us all! He desired to use our rightful Queen to gather men but he won't restore her to the throne!" Rider tried to convince his men.

"ARREST HIM AT ONCE OR I WILL CUT YOU ALL DOWN!" Fjordian ordered.

John stepped forward and went to restrain Rider after knocking off the dagger.

"John! What are you doing?!" Rider tried to struggled but soon he was held by Flint. "No! No! Let me go!" he was being escorted out of the tent while struggling. Soon enough he found himself tie up both hands and feet, and was gagged by a linen cloth over his mouth before she was shoved into one of the wooden cells they had.

Rider glared at John and Flint.

"Ha! Who would've thought?!" Flint mocked him. "Loyal servant? That's a full of shit!" he left in anger.

While John was coldly staring at him before locking the cell and left in silence.

Rider was angry at himself. He should've done something beforehand to warn Rapunzel and inform her about the men who switched sides, but now surely they stopped believing him and they would be slaughtered.

Eastern Arendelle.

Carts after carts were being loaded with chests to gold and other valuables and men were wearing full military uniforms and ready to go.

The Lord of the house was already mounted on his horse and ready to ride out. He took a last look of his manor house before he rode off with his small army.

As they fled, an arrow flew in the wind and truck one of his men.

"Ambush!" one of the men shouted and tried to look find the source.

"Lord Ector! You should go!" the men urged their Lord to go.

The first time Elsa arrived in Vinter Castle after two decades was the time she revealed herself to Pabbie. The man's reaction was utter shock and disbelief, he was also shaking as he pointed at her before and to her two companions that night.

What surprised her was Pabbie recognized them almost immediately. He wept and had knelt before her. He then told her what happened after that fateful day.

Men arrived in the Vinter Castle and brought the news of the family's demise. Pabbie and the rest of the staffs couldn't believed it, then as the news sink in, all of them wept. They mourned for the lost of the people who were kind to them and treated them as part of their family.

Pabbie told her how he arranged for the family's funeral and also how heart broken they were even more when only three out of the five family members returned. The day couldn't be more sadder than that. He took the Duchess' rings and was about to take the Duke's ring but it was not there, someone took it. He thought he would never see it again not until Elsa revealed it to him.

Pabbie had asked how Elsa got it but her eyes visibly dimmed at the question, though her face was stoic, so he didn't press on the matter much further.

That night he had led them to the castle and had told her he didn't let anyone into her parents' room as well as her and siblings' rooms, other than the forceful entry of Runeard's men in which he failed to stop.

Elsa barely entered her parents' room. Nothing had changed since the last she saw it. Then she stayed in the hallway as she stared to her older brother's open bedroom door, she couldn't bear entering it. Last but not least, her and her sister's shared bedroom, that night she didn't let Pabbie open it because just staring at the white double door with snowflake motif was enough to break Elsa's heart into dust.

Now she returned to the same hallway she stood that night. Her glacial eyes were glued to the same white double door.

Elsa's hand hovered on handle for quite some time before wrapping her fingers around it. She took a deep breath and ever so slowly, she opened it. The sliver of light coming from the hallway had lit the gap on the door.

Her heart was beating so fast and she was sweating profusely despite the coldness. She opened the door half-way and entered.

As she stepped inside, she was assaulted by multitude of emotions, but only one emotion that stood out. Deep sorrow. It only intensified when her eyes drifted towards the bed on the right side of the room.

Once the door was close she moved towards it. Each step she made were heavier as she drew closer. Her eyes brimmed with tears, obscuring her vision.

Elsa was one foot away from the bed before she knelt on the wooden floor and sobbed on the pristine purple bed covers.

"I'm so sorry. I'm sorry. I wasn't strong enough back then." the extreme feeling of pain and lost came rushing back to her. "I didn't want to leave you in that cold ground. I should've picked you up and take you with us. I am so sorry." she gripped the sheets so tight as if her life depends on it. "I couldn't protect you. I didn't fulfill my promise. Our promise of protecting each other." Elsa tore down her layers of walls and had let herself be vulnerable, she had let herself feel. "I'm sorry. . . I'm so sorry dear sister." she wouldn't care if her Uncle would say she was weak. She wouldn't give a damn about anything at the moment.

She wailed in sorrow as she kept on apologizing on her sister's childhood bed until she ran out of tears to shed and exhaust herself. She stayed kneeling on the bedside as she stared into nothingness.

"You could've been the royal sister who would throw balls and hold garden parties. . . just like what you've dreamed of doing once Kristian assumed the throne." she smiled so little that it was not even noticeable.

"Soon. . . Mother, Father, Kristian and you, will be able to have your peace." she procured a glass vial filled with amber colored liquid given by Olaf and stared at it. "I'll make them feel the pain. . .each and everyone of them." her voiced trembled in anger and in pain.

Hope you enjoyed it!
