Here Comes The Sun
Chapter 35
By: The Duchess of Arendelle
AN: Sorry for the delay and for any and all mistakes. Enjoy the chapter!
Edmund stood in the middle of the throne room. In just a few short hours, the large room would be filled with slacked jawed, mouth breathing royals who thought flattery and looks would win them the favor of the weak little queen. Edmund knew better. He would have the thrown. If not by choice then by force. The queen's little tryst with her sister Princess Anna would insure that. He chuckled to himself. He was going to get everything he wanted just because the queen and princess couldn't keep their hands to themselves. Or at least find normal mates.
"Something funny, Edmund?" Came a voice from behind him, making the raven haired nobleman jump the slightest. He slowly turned around and smirked as he saw a angry redhead glaring at him.
"Princess Anna. I was just thinking of you. And what do I owe the pleasure of your breathtaking presence?" He asked, staring the redhead in the eye. Anna met his gaze with unwavering intensity.
"Cut the bullshit Edmund, you know precisely why I'm here." Anna bit out. Edmund's smirk grew.
" We're dropping all pretense then. Very well. I take it her majesty has informed you of her decision already. Tsk. Tsk. The queen should know better then to reveal her chosen before the ceremony. It's against royal policy. Not to mention in poor taste." he paused and walked closer to Anna, bending down to whisper.
"But then, what would you expect from a queen that fucks her own sis-" Edmund was cut off as a hard crack rang through the empty room. Anna's hand still lingered in the air as her glare intensified, face hot with rage.
"You watch your tongue when you're speaking with me. Disrespecting the sitting princess, and as of yet only heir to the throne, is high treason and I will not hesitate to have you exiled from this kingdom." Anna practically spat out. Edmund just looked back at her, hand on his cheek, with that same self serving smirk as he began to laugh again. Loudly.
"Oh, my dear sweet princess. Do you know what else is high treason? Incestuous relationships between two female royals in court. Including, but not limited to, the sitting queen and princess." he paused for a second and let his smile grow cruel.
"And the penalty of such relations is death. You have nothing to threaten me with princess, so don't bother trying." the way he said princess sounded like more of an insult then him respecting her with her title. Anna's jaw locked and she grinded her teeth, trying to calm herself. It wouldn't be good for her if she let Edmund see how much his words were affecting her.
Edmund began walking away from Anna and over to the throne itself. He caress the metal under his fingers, slowly running them down it's extravagant frame. He stared at the chair with a dark lust.
"I know your heart princess. I know that you will not accept this fate without a fight. I've always admired that about you. That tenacious spirit of yours. I mean, everyday for 16 years you knocked on your pathetic sister's door, even though you knew it would ultimately end in heartache and disappointment. You went on a little soul searching adventure to save the kingdom and your sister. You even gave your own life to save that of the queen's. You really are someone to be taken seriously." he paused in his ministrations of the golden throne to once again stare Anna in the eye. His eyes seemed to glow devilishly as he spoke.
"This throne. It was always meant to be mine. It is my birthright. I've worked very hard to get this far and I'll be damned if a ditzy redheaded bitch like yourself takes it away from me. I will marry Elsa. I will take this throne as my own. And I will rule this entire kingdom and all the riches that comes with it." Edmund stepped down from the throne and walked the short distance back to Anna. Grabbing her chin, he continue to stare at her. At this close of proximity, Anna could see that his emerald eyes did indeed give off a glow, no doubt purposely done by Edmund.
"You can either get out of my way or get crushed under my boot. Either way, I shall get what I desire." he then released her chin and took a step back, smoothing out invisible wrinkles in his suit then bringing a hand up to smooth back his hair.
"Now then princess, you should go. You have a ceremony to finish getting ready for." he winked at the redhead and Anna turned on her heels to leave in a huff. Opening the large door she let it slam behind her. Standing in the hallway, she turned her head to the right to look at the figure standing there.
"You heard all of that, right?" she asked. Kristoff nodded, his face redder than Anna's hair as he boiled with anger. He had to hold himself back from bursting into the room and beating Edmund into a bloody pulp.
"Yeah, I wrote everything he said down in this book like you wanted."
Anna smiled lightly. She knew if she confronted Edmund, he was bound to slip and say something that she could use in her favor. Especially if she threatened him. Now all she needed to do was go someplace private and dissect his words.
Edmund thought he had already won. But Anna was not giving up that easily.
AN: Hope you guys liked the update! I had this chapter written for a while but it felt incomplete so I had to add more stuff to it. Sorry the updates are coming a bit slower.
