Disclaimer I do not own Disney/Frozen.

Hi! First of all, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT and the REVIEWS I received from the previous chapter.

I just couldn't resist but to finish the draft for this chapter. Honestly I was excited on what would happen next, which was weird because I was the one who wrote it XD. Haha okay. . .

Alright, please be advised the this chapter contains VIOLENE AND STRONG LANGUAGE.

I hope you like this chapter. ENJOY

"You're not with child."

Anna's knees wobbled as the words sank, so did her heart. "Tell me! What do you mean by that?!" her child, her only hope for happiness was slipping from her fingers.

"That night, I didn't touch you." Elsa stated calmly. "I may be a killer of men, but I wouldn't touch a defenseless woman against her will. It disgusted me how much of a beast I was that night but I had no choice but to make you believe it."

Anna's memory of the night came rushing back and all could she remember was Elsa kissing her and undressing her before passing out. What happened after she lost consciousness?

"I shouldn't be saying this but Rapunzel made me promise not to touch you even if my advisors had encouraged it and I am well aware you know which one of them."

Of course Anna knew. The Duke of Weselton was rather vocal about it.

"Rapunzel?" that dagger pointing princess asked the Queen not to touch her? Were they talking about the same person? It seemed these cousins has surprising side of them she never got to see until now.

"Yes and it is not my story to tell why she did that. Anyway the point is your are not with child. There's no child of Vinter growing there inside you."

Anna's hand went to her abdomen. If so then, how she was not when the symptoms were there! Master Reoden himself declared her pregnancy. "Tell me everything. I think I deserve that at least." her voice cracked and hushed.

"Fair enough." Elsa held the letters. "I refused to get married to you since the beginning as you know it. But I said something that I shouldn't have." Elsa did her best not to cringe at her mistake. "I told my advisers to get me a bride other than you, to spite you and to humiliate you even further. I wanted one of your grandfather's bastards."

Anna blinked at that. "W-Wha- my grandfather's what?!"

"You didn't know? Your grandfather fathered children other than your father." Elsa said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, and a smirk appeared on her face.

Anna couldn't believe it. "You're lying! My grandfather didn't have any child other than my father!" obviously Elsa was lying to her again, just like what she always did.

"Seriously how sheltered are you under your grandfather's rule?" Elsa asked in total curiosity. "Or are you just that naïve to believe everything your grandfather told you? Anyway that's not the point."

Anna's mind was filled with questions. Questions that she herself wouldn't be able to answer.

"As I was saying I wanted one of the Eldr bastards, from what they told me she was only a year older than you. But my advisers said you are the best choice and then I told them I won't marry you if you can't produce an heir." she paused. "They insisted for me to do it to make sure you are able to bear a child before I marry you. I hated it every second of it." Elsa could still remember how she regret attacking the lady in the gallery so did the other night. "Then that certain night came. I used sleeping tonic on the wine so wouldn't know if I truly did it."

Anna vividly remember the blood. "But there was blood on the sheet and my body ached so much that morning!"

"The blood was mine. I wounded myself to let the people who wanted it would believe I did what was asked. And as for your soreness, that was a side effect of the sleeping tonic and it made wonders for me because you actually believed it."

Anna wasn't sure what she was feeling. She was relieved that she was still pure or she felt hopeless because her supposed child was her salvation. "Then what would you gain from this lie?" she asked.

"To get my advisers off my case, plus it would keep my promise to Rapunzel. A total win for me but I feared your blood moon will return as they always do and it would be a bad thing for me, because they will know I deceived them." Elsa slicked her hair back again. "I only did it to delay our marriage until I could do something to avoid it, but due to unforeseen circumstances I had to marry you earlier than planned and your loud mouth had announced it to them. It was only me, Rapunzel, Olaf knew about this, Master Reoden wasn't one of us and I was planning to eventually tell you because it was only you who I wanted to fall for it. But your mistake had drove me to this point." Elsa produced a vial filled with amber liquid inside.

"What's that?"

"This will induce great abdominal pain as if you are in giving birth. Also it would be dangerous for a child's life as well."

"Y-You we're g-going to use it to me. . ." Anna stuttered.

Elsa simply shook her head. "No, not anymore, now I that have these." she raised her hand which holding the letters. "And besides I wouldn't be able to do it if you are indeed with child. I don't think I can kill my own flesh and blood."

Anna remembered how many times she and Elsa crossed swords with each other, not caring whether they would lose the child or not.

Of course Elsa wouldn't care since there wasn't a child in the first place. She thought to herself.

"I was going to use it so it would look like you had a miscarriage in front of them, just like how you showed symptoms of your pregnancy, making it more believable."

Anna was stunned. "What did you do to me?!" she wasn't aware she was taking something other than food.

"I made you drink tea mixed with tonic that would induce nausea and make you throw up, as if you are with child."

Tea. The tea being served to her everyday, but those tea was brewed by Olaf himself how would the Queen- "Olaf. He tricked me." she whispered.

"You're quick. Impressive." Elsa coldly responded. "I enlisted his help to deceive you but in the end we got married, to my dismay, after doing all that tedious planning. My efforts were all for naught. Now you're my wife, who plots against me."

Anna couldn't accept she was tricked and her small trust to Olaf shattered she felt defeated. She knew from the start Olaf couldn't be trusted and yet she was deceived by his sunny disposition and trusted him. "Why are you making me miserable? You've already won. You have your crown, your kingdom, your people. Just. . .let me be." she sobbed.

"I told you days ago that I will let you be as long as you won't plot against me but you did exactly the opposite." Elsa watched the devastated woman in front of her, she didn't like it. "I meant what I said of trying to lessen the hostility between us and yet I was betrayed by you, my own wife." she got closer to Anna and lifted her chin.

Anna slapped Elsa's hand away defiantly looked at her. "Very well. You win. I surrender." she wiped her tears. "Do whatever you want with me, much better kill me."

There was a beat of silence. Anna looked into Elsa's cold eyes and there was certain glint she couldn't figure out.

"A tempting offer." Elsa coldly stared at her. "But if you do something for me then I won't tell anyone about these." Elsa offered.

Anna was skeptical. "What else do you want from me?"

"I won't reveal these letters to the council if you tell the Duke, my Uncle and Count of Isles that you had a miscarriage and lost the child."

Anna, despite in the face of death she still had the audacity to feel hesitant. She was silent.

"Very well then. The moment I finish my work here in the north, we'll go back to the capital with you tied up in chains like a true traitor." Elsa turned to go.

"Agreed."

Elsa halted her steps but she didn't turn.

Anna was tired, she was tricked, she was confused and most of all she was hurt because the child whom she thought would be her companion was a lie. She never felt so defeated. Anna didn't want to but how could see leave the people under the usurper's rule?

"I'll do it."

Elsa slammed the throne room door shut and angrily hurled the vial in her hand to the nearby wall, shattering it into pieces. Her hands were shaking in anger, she had a strong urge to end Anna right there and then with her bare hands.

Eastern Arendelle.

The prisoners were on their respective cells.

The Arendellian army who were part of the ambush lost some of their men. Olaf couldn't help but to feel the sorrow of their fallen comrades. He made sure to take the bodies and gave them a proper burial.

Currently he was at the castle's study and wrote his report for the Queen. He stated how much they lost in pursuit of Lord Ector, and how they managed to capture the Lord according to plan, as well as retrieved the massive chests filled with gold. Those treasures were housed temporarily in the private vaults of Eldr castle, which was also unsurprisingly filled with gold, jewels and more.

Olaf recognized some of them because he had seen them when he was a child, the most recognizable was the Hertuginne Safir fringe tiara. It was a platinum tiara with rows snowflakes attached to its band. The snowflakes started as small and ascending in size until they reached the center before their sizes descends to the other end of the band. At the center of small snowflakes were round cut small sapphires. At the center was the a large Vinter snowflake and at its center was a large asscher cut sapphire. The Hertuginne Safir was worn by the Lady of House Vinter, it was her official tiara during royal balls or any festivities to distinguish her from the rest. The tiara was an anniversary gift by Prince Eleazar to his wife, Isfrid. The late Duchess loved it and she always wore it, making it the official tiara of the Duchess.

What angered Olaf was how in the world it was brought in the private vaults of the Eldrs. He took a velvet lined box and stashed the tiara inside with the intent of bringing it home, where it belongs.

Olaf sighed and closed his eyes for a moment, contemplating the spy's punishment.

Elsa went to her childhood room, sitting on a settee with a small vial of sickly green liquid. She unstoppered it before tipping few drops in her glass of bourbon, she emptied her glass in one go. The burning sensation on her throat spread to her chest as she gripped the glass tightly in her hand.

She already had the very thing that would remove Anna from her life, however she knew she couldn't just urge the council to execute the latter so she improvised. She threatened her instead with real proof of her treachery. Elsa knew she has to be smart about this now there was snake in her own household, but she has to be discreet to keep those entitled men from interfering.

And there was something had bothered her, the second letter. Of course she knew how Anna saw her but the letter felt so heavy and painful to her chest. "Why do I feel this way?" she should feel happy because she managed to corner her opponent into submission and yet she wasn't. "She's your enemy Elsa. Never forget that. She betrayed you." but then crestfallen face of the latter once she realized she was not with child was utterly painful to watch. Also seeing the latter without the fire blazing in her eyes was disheartening. Elsa was not used to it. She wanted Anna to fight her. To fight fiercely against her, not this.

"Anna will use whatever means necessary to plot against me." she threw her empty glass into the fireplace in anger. She thought of impregnating Anna for real and would be having her own child only to be used against her. She doesn't think she could harm her own flesh and blood. Maybe that was why she was feeling rather hurt at the thought. "She's a piece of work." she growled.

Meanwhile at the Elsa's parent's room.

Anna was lying on the bed, with tears soaking the pillow. She shed the dress of Duchess Iduna, as well as the jewels she'd worn in favor of her own dress. She mourned for something it wasn't there. Her child. She felt like half of her being torn away from her, she kept on sobbing.

She was defeated in her own game. She knew Elsa would make her life miserable than it already was but breaking such news broke her heart. However, there was another thing she couldn't get her head wrap around to was why Elsa decided to spare her? The charge of treason was more than enough to eliminate her from existence, but why did she bother to ask her to lie to the Duke and everyone else? What was she planning?

She sat up and wiped her tears away and took a deep breath. She knew she has to dance on whatever song the Queen would play. She was trapped in her own web she tried to weave. The only thing she could do at the moment was be obedient because her life depended on the Queen's mercy.

The sound of axes against the large trunk of a pine trees could be heard near the blacksmiths' tent as they shape it appropriate for a siege. They already piled about six of them, arranging then in a shape of a hexagon before tying them together. They arranged battering ram on top of a wheeled cart before tying it, to keep it from moving.

The General has already worn his red livery, the official color of the high ranking officials of King Runeard. He went out of his tent and saw his men ready to march. He mounted on his chestnut colored horse before speaking.

"Listen well, all of you!" the murmurs from the men halted. "Today we will take the first step of restoring our rightful Queen! Once we succeeded on taking Vinter Castle, we will be able to take its resources and use them to increase our numbers and also we will have proper protection using this fortress against the Usurper Queen's army. Vinter Castle is a well fortified fortress, but it lacked men to defend it. We will take it as ours!"

The men cheered. It seemed they were satisfied with speech. General Fjordian shrugged and led the march towards the castle. They left the camp with only a handful of soldiers guarding the imprisoned second in command.

Rider was gagged and both of his hand and feet were tied while inside of the wooden cage. He sighed in disappointment, because he wasn't able do to what he needed to do. Save the lives of his men. He tried but failed to convince them to join the other side of the field. He was also betrayed by the General, whom he took orders from.

The cage he was in only has a small rectangular opening for air to pass through, they had to open it whenever give him food and water.

"Food for the prisoner." Rider heard from of the soldiers and soon enough it was opened. He looked up only to see a lean man about in his early twenties. He has short auburn hair and a pair brown eyes. He placed couple of fruits and a small piece of meat in a small metal plate on the floor of the cage.

The auburn haired man untied his gag and whispered to his ear. "Flynn Rider?"

Rider looked up in curiosity. "Yes?" he whispered back.

"Her Majesty will make sure you'll get out of here safe, as per Her Highness' request." the auburn haired man whispered.

"Untie me." Flynn responded hushly.

The auburn haired man pondered for a moment before loosening the ropes. "Wait after an hour." the man handed Rider his sword. "Hide this behind you."

Rider had pressed the sword between him and the wooden wall to conceal it.

"Hey! What's taking you so long?!" a gruff soldier asked.

"Sorry!" the auburn haired man got out of the cage and closed it.

The auburn haired man walked away from the cage only to disappear into the thick forest.

An hour later, the Queen's spy on one of the branches pine tree, below him were the guards guarding the wooden cell.

He loaded his blow dart with sleeping darts. He focused his eyes on the leader of the guards before blowing it towards him.

The assigned leader was hit on his neck, instantly making him unconscious.

"Who's there?!" simultaneously the guards drew their swords.

The spy once again blew his pipe over and over with impeccable accuracy, reducing ten soldiers into half.

"There he is!" the soldier shouted as they pointed at him.

The spy blew his darts again and vanish in the forest after he got off the men followed him, unknown to them he rounded out and had opened the cage.

"Go go! We have to go!" the spy immediately ran to one of the horses and mount on it.

Rider did it as well.

"Rider!" the men mounted and followed them.

The spy loaded his blow dart and took one soldier after another while riding towards his horse.

"Your Majesty!" there was an incessant knocking on her childhood room door.

"Come in." Elsa didn't look up because she was currently polishing her blade.

"Your Majesty!" the man bowed. "I have received a message from of our lost boys."

"What did they say?" Elsa raised her sword and stared at it to look for blemishes. "Read it for me."

The man unrolled the small parchment.

"Your Majesty. The General is already marching towards Vinter Castle once you received this letter. Also Flynn Rider was imprisoned by the General for certain circumstances I have yet to uncover. More than a thousand men are with him.

Prepare for a siege at sundown.

-P"

Elsa sheathed her sword and said. "Get ready for battle."

The Queen got out of the room strode through the hallway while securing her hair into a braided bun. Once she reached the top of the grand staircase she was greeted by Eric.

"Eric, I need you to command our soldiers to get ready for a siege here in the castle. I will lead our army out in the battlefield to prevent them coming here."

"Your Majesty! I couldn't just possibly leave you alone in the field." Eric protested. "Marshall should be the one leading the army as planned or I'll lead the army out."

"I know. But I need someone who I can trust to defend my family home." she smiled. But her demeanor changed in split second. "And I want to see him myself."

"Elsa." Eric whispered. "Please let me fight along side you." his glacial blue eyes were on her. "I swore to protect you."

"Yes. I know. Now I want you to protect the people here in the castle, Queen's orders."

Eric knew he couldn't convince the Queen otherwise. "As her Majesty wishes."

Elsa pat his back and got passed him but halted for a moment. "Protect everyone. . . please." she said without looking and continued her stride.

Eric responded. "Of course." he then barked orders here and there to ready their defenses, especially the archers on the ramparts of the castle walls.

"They will arrive any moment! Ready yourselves!"

After few hours of preparation, the sun was setting. Elsa and her army were already outside the castle walls, she was on her horse as she stared at her men and women, who were willing to die to protect their kingdom.

"Brave warriors of Arendelle!" Elsa shouted as her horse was making slow trot in front of them. "We've received the news of a siege coming here at Vinter Castle. This will be our first battle since we won and took back Arendelle from the usurper! And this army we're gonna face are the people who was once under the command of the coward Runeard! Most of us were born and raised in this Duchy even before the battle for the throne started. I say we defend it with our lives and keep our home safe from the hands of a General who murdered the Duke and Duchess of Vinter and their children!" Elsa's grip on the reins tightened. "Today we will give them justice! The justice they deserve!"

The army cheered and pound the flat end of their sword on their shields.

"Justice!" Elsa bellowed and unsheathed her sword before raising it.

"Justice!"

Elsa faced the horizon where the direction of the rebel army would emerged and marched, she wouldn't let them get close to her childhood home even if it meant changing the plan she made with Marshall.

Meanwhile inside Vinter Castle.

Anna was awaken by loud ruckus outside. She reluctantly went to the window and peered outside. She gasped as she saw the soldiers going back and forth while Eric's figure was on the ramparts and gazing outside the castle walls.

"What's happening?" she rushed out side of her room and went to the main balcony. She saw Eric standing guard on the ramparts with archers beside him. His gaze was still on the horizon. Anna followed his line of sight and saw a faint figure of the platinum blonde Queen leading the army. "She's leading an army. . . against who?"

Anna went to find Pabbie. She quickly found him at the bottom of the stairs. "Pabbie!"

The old man turned. "Lady Anna! What are you doing here?! Come!" Anna was led towards the throne room barricaded by soldiers. "You'll be safe here. These guards were hand picked by Queen Elsa herself. They will keep you safe." Anna was locked inside the throne room.

The throne room was empty. She was alone.

"What's happening outside?!" Anna turned and banged the locked doors. "Let me out! Let me out!"

"Apologies, M'lady. We are tasked on keeping you safe!"

"Safe?! From whom?" Anna asked.

There was silence.

"Answer me!" again no one answered. "Let me out!"

Loud footsteps of the soldiers echoed as they marched to Vinter Castle. The man leading them was on horseback. He brought a thousand more soldiers from the capital and left the other thousand to secure the capital. Marshall could already see the silhouette of Vinter Castle from where he was, but they had to march much faster as the surroundings started to dimmed.

"Men! we have to hurry!" Marshall urged his men hasten their pace "We need to get to Vinter Castle fast!" he knew they shouldn't be late or else Elsa might be in grave danger, so does the people in the castle.

The surroundings started to dim as they march, his dark eyes saw the castle they would siege. He smirked.

He turned his head to encourage his men. "Men! Our victory is near!" he smiled widely at them but his men didn't cheer, instead they were looking ahead with evident apprehension etched on their faces. His brows furrowed and turned to see what his men were looking at. "Why are you-" his voice was caught up in his throat as he stared at the platinum blonde woman on horseback. He suddenly felt the chill on his spine as he felt the woman's gaze on him.

Within half a minute he started to sweat profusely despite the cold winds coming from the snow capped mountain.

"No. What is she doing here?!" Flint asked the question Fjordian himself wanted to ask. After the question escaped his lips. Three riders from their side hastily rode across the battlefield.

"What are they doing?!"

General Fjordian didn't even give orders to ride ahead. He expected the three riders to draw their swords but they didn't, instead they went passed the Queen and joined them.

"T-Traitors! There are traitors in our midst!" Flint stated the obvious.

The General recognized them, they were the scouts who told them that Vinter Castle wasn't guarded. They were the Queen's spies and fed him wrong information and also they had warned their Usurper Queen about the attempt siege and she came here just for them.

The General froze in place. He didn't expect this turn of event. His dark eyes were gazing straight to those murderous glacial eyes of the Queen. He felt like he was walking towards the executioner's block.

"What do we do General?" John asked.

The General was panicking but tried to mask his anxiety with a glare.

"You didn't make sure if those scouts were trustworthy! It's all your fault!"

John was taken aback by this but he said nothing.

"We all know what would be the outcome of this fight!" one of the Queen's men shouted across the field. "Surrender now or you will bathe with your own blood!"

Only the sound strong billowing wind and snorts of horses could be heard.

"No! We will fight for the rightful ruler of Arendelle." General Fjordian did his best not to waver.

John looked at him and had noticed the latter how sweaty his forehead was.

General Fjordian drew his sword and without much thought he shouted. "CHARGE!" his men rode towards the Queen's army. His gaze was fixed on the woman who was still at her place until the sky darkened by rains of arrows coming from the Queen's side.

Almost immediately the General's men were shot down one after another as the arrows rained upon them.

"SHEILDS!" John shouted and raised his shield.

After the rain of arrow stopped the Queen and her army charged.. Loud screams as metal clash against the other and horse neighing as they were being stab in order to unhorse their rider.

Elsa gripped her sword using her left hand as she sliced through the enemy lines while on her horse. She stabbed, cut open and beheaded whoever tried to block her way. Her gaze was on the General who went to the back of his army, far from her reach as possible.

She watched the rebels go down one by one as she tried to maneuver her horse towards the General but the piles of dead bodies was blocking her way. She gritted her teeth and unmounted. The rebels noticed her and went to her way, as if dismounting her horse would give them the opportunity to kill her. They were gravely mistaken.

Rebels flocked to her. Her glacial eyes looked for the General but her vision was blocked by one of his trusted men.

"I'm going to end you!" Flint charged to Elsa but she quickly avoided it and maneuvered herself to get pass him but not before wounding him by slashing him on his side.

Elsa ran towards the coward General but once again blocked by the rebels. She gritted her teeth and growled.

"Get out of my way!" Elsa flourished her sword towards her enemies, slitting their throats. Her eyes were on the General as she advanced while she was killing whoever stood in her way, she didn't care the blood splashing on her face and clothes. All she wanted was the man on horseback.

The General saw how the Queen making her way to him, he went to his men who just stood there and watched their fellow soldiers die one by one. He was shocked to see John on his horse doing nothing with the quarter of his men.

"Don't just stand there! Do something! I order you to attack." The General urged John but he only received a cold stare. "Why aren't you fighting?!"

"I read the letters before Rider found them." John glared at him. "You were conspiring with a claimant to Queen Anna's throne. Rider had told me about Queen Elsa's proposal that we could serve under Queen Anna's service if we chose not to fight. That's what we wanted wasn't it? Serve the Eldr heiress, not engage in a losing battle before it started."

The General's face was red in anger. He was caught on his betrayal to the heiress he was serving. He chose the wrong person to support.

"Traitor!" he was about to draw his sword to strike John but his horse stood up with its hind legs and neighed in pain as arrows pierced it. "Aah!" the General fell from his horse. He looked at his attacker and saw Queen Elsa dropping the bow and walked towards him.

Elsa looked at the other rebels who didn't raise arms against her.

John met her gaze and bowed his head, since she was after all the soon to be spouse of the the Eldr heiress and their union would cease the long overdue feud.

What they weren't aware of was already Anna was already married to the Queen.

Elsa felt white hot anger as she walked towards the man. She was about to strike when a shout reach her ears.

"Die!" shouted Flint as he gripped his side and advanced to Elsa.

Elsa turned and ready to strike him down when a drawing of sword caught her attention. The General was on his feet and advanced towards her. She came in between and raised her own sword to blocked her attackers.

She gritted her teeth and used both of her hand to stand the pressure growing on her. She kicked Flint's wounded side before pushing away the General.

Flint knelt on the ground in pain while grasping his sword. This gave Elsa the opportunity to parried against the General. She swung her sword with strength and calculated move. Her feet moved towards the General who kept on retreating before using his brute force to overpower her.

Elsa gritted his teeth and blocked each strike the General made. Their swords were locked against each other, she then kicked the General on his stomach making him tumble backwards.

Cries of men were coming closer, she saw the rebels going to her direction. Elsa knew she has to finish this herself, since she doesn't expect the rebels who turned coats to help her. The men were drawing closer and the General regained his balance and was about to charge again

"Protect our Queen!"

Elsa heard Marshall's distinct voice as soldiers came out of the trees and stormed at them. Now she could turn her full attention to the General.

General Fjordian's heart sank at the new wave of royalist and saw how they were crushed by them. No matter, he would die anyway might as we try to kill the Queen while he still had the chance to do so.

He attacked and forcefully striking his sword against the Queen's. Fjordian grew frustrated on how the Queen now only blocked and evadeed his attacks. She was playing with him. His pride as a General was terribly wounded and it enraged him even more. "Die!" he raised his sword once more but the Queen dodged it and went behind him.

As Elsa went behind the General, she slashed the back of his knees, making him kneel then disarmed him. She coldly stared at the person who killed her parents in cold blood while pointing her sword at him.

General Fjordian panted and looked into the Queen's cold dead eyes. "What are you waiting for?! Kill me!"

Two riders came out of woods. It was Rider and the Queen's spy, Peter.

Rider was late. He saw his men lifeless, save for the men John had. He unmounted and saw Marshall dropping the bloodied body of Flint on the cold ground.

Marshall nodded to Rider in acknowledgement.

"Queen Elsa." Rider addressed Elsa. "I tried to convince them."

"Save it. Make sure my cousin knows you are alive." Elsa didn't let her gaze leave the General. "Marshall take our guest, the General, to the castle throne room. And have Sir John's men escorted just outside the castle. Peter, tell Eric to have his men collect our fallen brave warriors and advise him that Sir John and his men are on our side." with that Elsa left and got on a horse one of her soldiers brought and rode out alone towards the castle despite the darkness had already descended on them.

Marshall did what Elsa wanted and picked up the injured General and rode out behind the Queen as he led John's men to the castle.

Anna was sitting on the dais she heard screams of a man. She feared the castle was overrun, out of instinct she hid behind the throne.

"Wait. . . why am I hiding if the General managed to win?" she was about to go out from her hiding place when the throne room door opened, only to see blood smeared the Queen's usual pristine platinum blonde hair down to her clothes and hands. Anna immediately hid herself before peeking to see what was happening. Anna saw General Fjordian being dragged near the throne. That was it, the General would tell Elsa her part on the plot.

Marshall stood by the door with a bow and three arrows in hand.

Elsa had her back on the General.

"Maybe you're wondering why I brought you here, instead of killing you with the arrows I used to kill your horse." Elsa calmly stated. "I want you to see the castle you looted after killing my parents, with the order of that murderer Runeard."

"King Runeard only did what he had to do! Your father was weak! He didn't deserve to be King." General shouted. "I should've killed you that day! I never imagined that fearful little girl twenty years ago would turn into a monster!"

Elsa turned to face him then circled him "Yes, I am an unimaginable monster Runeard created. That is why I am debating how am I going to kill you." she walked around the General. "Of course I never saw how my father was killed, I just saw him lifeless before you pierced my mother's back."

The General smirked. "I can still remember how your mother breathe her last breath as I pulled my sword from her bleeding body- AH!" he was shot on his back by an arrow. "Damn it!"

Elsa lowered her bow and stated calmly "So how is it going to be? Killed by arrows just like my brother?" she shot again and again away from fatal part of his back, since she wanted to savor his suffering.

"Argh!" the General used his forearms to prevent him face planting on the blood stained floorboard.

"Or maybe a stab in your gut just like how your men stabbed my sister in front me." she dropped her bow. "I want you to feel how they felt." Elsa's hand was shaking in anger, she surprised herself that she was able to maintained her voice despite everything.

"You are sick! You don't deserve the crown of Arendelle! Argh!" the General shouted as he writhed in pain after being stab in his gut using her dagger and hoped she missed vital part because she was not yet done with him. Blood poured from his mouth as he hacked. "Ugh."

She didn't pulled the dagger to prevent him from losing too much blood, she rounded him after that. "Thanks to your fucking murderer King I became stronger, not a whimpering princess they expected me to be." Elsa slowly drew her sword and slashed the General on his back with so much retraint to keep him alive. The General screamed in pain. "That's how your men struck me while my brother and I were escaping." she paused. "Runeard took everything away from me. He took my family away from me." the General slumped on the throne room floor. "And you had enacted his orders. Not only that, you even had the audacity to steal from my family." she snickered. She kicked the man to make him lie on the floor face first.

Thud.

"Aah!"

The General responded inaudibly. "I am just following my King's orders! He was the ideal King Arendelle needed! You and you family were the hindrance for him to become King!" he coughed blood.

"That's why he had them killed. I know, I've seen it." Elsa sedately stated. "I want to prolong your suffering but you are staining my floor with your lowborn and filthy blood." Elsa stepped on the General's bleeding back, and embedding the dagger in his body at the pressure even further.

"AAAAAH! AAAAH! STOP IT! AAAAH! KILL ME! JUST FUCKING KILL ME!" the General cried in pain.

"As you wish, who am I to deny you?" Elsa had picked him up by the back of his blood soaked clothes, forced him to stand on his wounded legs and said. "I wonder if I will remember your last breath as you did to my mother." Elsa's eyes were blank and cold.

"AHHH! YOU WILL FALL AND DIE SOON! AH!-" General Fjordian screamed but soon cut short a sound of the flesh being pierced echoed in the throne room but she heard a loud gasp, well more like whimper, somewhere in the room.

Elsa pierced the General just like how he did to her mother, silencing him forever. Once she pulled out her sword she dropped the General's body as well as her blade before turning away. "Feed him to the hounds, tear him to pieces or whatever you want to do with him I don't care, just not within the Duchy's territory. He doesn't deserve it." Elsa said to Marshall. "Make sure to remove the blood. I wouldn't want Anna to see it, please." she left.

Marshall did what Elsa ordered, but unknown to them Anna had witnessed and heard everything.

She sobbed the moment Marshall left the throne room.

"E-E-Elsa was telling the truth all along." she hiccupped as she saw in her mind her grandfather's perfect image smeared with blood and shattered to pieces. "My grandfather lied to me." she then felt the heavy burden of the lives her grandfather took.
