Iduna could only sigh, to what felt like some sort of punishment of a higher being. April showers just won't let up. Other than school, and chores I'm always home sitting bored to death, as Della happily does her knitting, or cooking.

"How does anybody stand this?!" I snapped. Throwing my hands up, before slumping back down in my chair, defeated.

Della only shook her head smiling, as she continued her needlework. We've been sitting at this kitchen table for the past hour and nothing. Absolutely nothing. I already tried distracting myself with needlework, but I hated it.

"I don't understand how girls do this?!" I thought. "Are they really content or more bored than me?"

Than it hit me. Shooting up from my chair, Della by this point has gotten semi used to my sudden outbursts.

"Yes Idu-

"Can I go to my friends house?" I asked.

"Umm-

"Don't worry we'll be playing inside", Isaidabruptly.

I could tell by the tone of her voice she wasn't sure.

After what felt like forever Della finally answered.

Sighing heavily, Della could only mutter, "okay, but only if-"

Before finishing, Iduna grabbed her coat that was sitting next to the door, and hat and was half out before turning back to Della.

"Thanks Della, bye!" Iduna said.

Della opened her mouth to say something, but the door closed before she could say anything. Sitting there, a bit dumbfounded, Della could only laugh at her expense. As she continued to her needlework.

The rain had lighten up a little bit, but there was no denying, by the time she got to her friends house, she was practically soaked.

In truth she wasn't headed for a friend's house, she was headed for Hudson's Harth. She knew she couldn't buy anything, but there at least there was more people around, candy to wish for, toys to dream for, and much more.

Halima, when not busy allows me to sneak a taste of so called discarded chocolates, or I help her set things up, as we talk. Della is wonderful, but Halima has more to say, and is more entitled to her opinions, and she's a good listener. She's very pretty, and intelligent, sometimes she allows me to hide behind the counter when no one should be in the store.

The rain still hadn't let up, when entering the store, the familiar bell tole rang as I stepped in. It was serene, as could be. With a few familiar faces, women who were getting their weekly groceries, and needs. Their kids must be home, or something. Halima was in the corner stacking new books imported from else where. "Looks like I care just in time?!" I thought. As now I could check out the books to pass the time.

Coming towards Halima, catching sight of me, she tenderly smiled, as she made her way down from her ladder.

"Ah, Iduna. You're just in time, we got a collection of new fairytales from these new German writers. Grim something."

I gasped in awe. "More tales recorded? This place is truly amazing." I thought.

Taking a look at the books, Halima was right. However these stories were of heroes, and stories I've never heard of. I found new tales of Witches, goblins, princes, and princesses in towers. I especially enjoyed the story of bear skin, where a man who made a deal with the devil, in order to gain fortune. Whilst on his lonely journey, he finds comfort in the girl waiting for him, with a kind heart.

I also enjoy the story of the girl with skin white as snow.

I would have read more, but I felt it wasn't fair, I could buy the book, so I better leave it be, and come back for it, when I can.

Than it hit her, summer will be coming soon, and school will be out, school will be ending for her soon entirely. It hadn't occurred to her that pretty soon, she will be of age to do what she wanted. Get a job, even further her studies to become a teacher?!

Looking about Halima was she in front of her still unpacking from the box of new arrivals.

"Halima?" Iduna said.

Halima looked up a bit surprised at Iduna's sudden haste.

"Yes, what is it?"

"Do you have any job openings?" Iduna asked.

Halima smiled, and the two made their way to the front counter. Iduna was brought to the owner, and the three went over what she could do. I'm

Iduna may have been only in Arendelle for 7-8 months, but already the locals knew her more or less as a caring, fun person.

She got the job, now after school she'll be coming right to the store until 8pm, and all summer she'll be working for Hudson's Harth!

Iduna raced home to tell Della, practically bursting through the door, Iduna gave her news.

Kye, and Della weren't too pleased, at this sudden arrangement, but they descided as her grades stayed up, she would work.

Iduna was bursting with joy, now she could save a bit of money for rainy days, or get Della and Kye gifts, or in short bring more to the table.

"Prince Agnarr? Prince Agnarr?"

Agnarr snapped out of his trance, looking towards the voice he sighed. Fortunately it wasn't his tutor, who's be looking down at him grimace like.

It was Kai, my new friend. He's been gone abroad at a boarding school in Switzergin. I haven't seen him in a long while, apparently his father decided he could come back, and be here for me at this time. Kai has been doing well, so he was given an early leave, but had to wait for early spring to make his way back.

It's great to have him around again, he's always so hands on, and easy going at the same time. Other than Lieutenant Mattius, he's really the closest friend I have left. Kai had shown promise, so his father had arranged for him to get a better education. He could have gotten it with me, but it wasn't considered proper.

Kai is back for a short while though. We agreed he'd have to return in a two years to finish his education.

"You're magesty, is something wrong?" Kai asked. With an expression of concern.

"Oh, umm, just got distracted", I said.

Turning to Kai, I didn't know what else to say. I had already told him of the enchanted forest, and of Iduna. I wasn't really thinking of anything, just wondering I guess. Looking back to Kai, I could only smile, and go back to my work.

Kai was a bit a head of me in Latin, so he was here to help me with my French Homework. So far I've been okay, but still I'm a bit slow at it, and that's unexplainable, according to our, or... my tutor.

Summer is almost here, and I don't know whether I'm looking forward to it or dreading it. Arendelle's Ambassador is having my correspond to Sweden's Princess. Nothing is set, and he assured me an arrange marriage won't be arranged. However I can help but worry. I'm sure she's a nice girl, but I can't be sure unless I'm in love when even considering marriage.

This coming Friday, Kai and I have to greet the Arendellian Soldiers in honor of our history. Being an isolated country makes us a bit fragile Kai explained to me. Servilia has been around for centuries, as well has many resources.

I'm only fourteen well fifteen now, but I know I have limits, so it's pretty annoying to be placed on these subjects, isn't it enough I have to master my studies, while juggling my royal duties from counsel meetings, events, and over seeing the progress my country? I wish, I wish that I could forget I'm a prince, than I wouldn't be chained to this sense of loyalty to my countrymen.

"Your royal highness?" Kai asked timidly.

"Yes?" I said.

"If somethings bothering you, we can take a break?" Kai suggested.

I smiled at this, and we were off.

"Nepal as been pressuring its surrounding countries, Provia as well as our beloved Servilia are standing tall, the Angolan refuse to back down, however they are keeping to their own accord til further notice." Announced Duke William Of Servilia.

Looking up from his paper, it was clear the King was worried.

The infuriating Napoleon, commoner no less has taken the French crown, and his stamping his feet on the world stage, as if we're his toy solideres.

"Nepal will strip over himself eventually, your magesty." Duke William said. Trying to reassure his king.

"No, but it's best Servilia starts preparing its resources." The King Of Servilia said.

"Yes, I'd like with your permission to suggest an arranged marriage between her Royal Highness, Princess Katherine", explained Duke William. "The King of Arendelle, is a good candidate."

Duke William paused for a moment before continue, but before he could speak, the king stopped him by putting his hand up.

"These are troubled times, but I think we should be more cautious first with our allies before going further in on it." The King Said.

Taking his leave the audience was over, the King made his way to other duties to attend.

At this Duke William was annoyed. He respected his king, loved his country, but with the rise of a peasant, stopping and belittling other dynasties, he couldn't stand it.

Princess Katherine had just finished her reading session when a knock came to the door.

Her maid answered the door. With a few murmers, the maid brought a letter, with the Arendelle seal already broken.

This was nothing new, all her letters are read first before given to her.

It was from the King Of Arendelle.

It read: "To her Royal Highness, Princess Katherine Of Servilia, it would be in interest to both kingdoms to correspond, with friendship and respect between us, in times as these. I hope to become good penpales if you so wish. Sincerely, His Magesty King Agnarr Of Arendelle."

Katherine didn't take too much of this, but was curious to the meaning of this. It was standard practi ce to correspond, but to have a letter from a king, and from another country suggests a marriage or a form of alliance may be on its way, so best go along and be civil.

She didn't mean to be cold about it, but this was her life. A Princess, a pawn, a girl.

Katherine's maid noticed the tension in her Princess's shoulders.

"Madam?" The maid said.

"Thank you, that will be all." Princess Katherine said.

Dismissing her maid, she turned to her book she had been reading. It was of love, and justice. While in the real work only thing she could long for was at the very least a happy marriage. That was her role.

Her sister had been married off to an Austrian Noble, and she seems happy. She's ten years older but already has two kids. She seemed happy in her letters, but with the news of her Husband's mistress coming to light, destroyed everything she thought she knew.

"How could anyone not love her sister?" She thought. She gave him a son and daughter, and has been faithful.

Than my thoughts turned to Prince Alexander Of The Southern Isles. He's the third prince, of five. It's likely he'll never inherit the crown, but I don't care. He's simple, and happy to govern a town or be part of the military.

I'm fourteen and he's thirteen, which I lord it over him. We met a few years ago at a party, for his oldest brother's birthday 18th birthday.

His other brothers were dancing or entertaining the guests, as Alexander was hiding behind the corner like a mouse. Strawberry red curls, winter blue eyes, and a timid but sweet quirky smile, I couldn't help it.

During the party the children were sent into the garden for games while the adults were inside.

Like me he referes to reading than playing games.

Mostly I prefer siting and reading because I can't stand fearing, while playing my beautiful dress or hair ruined. Especially when my clothing is made with such expenses, it's a real waste.

We spent the night talking, we joined a few games but didn't really enjoy them.

Alexander and I have already become penpales, and have corresponded over the years. Now, suddenly a boy King I've never met wants to become pen pales as well?

I hope to talk to my father about this.

"Okay, Iduna. It's your first day, you can do this", lduna mumbled to herself, as she made her way to the counter, Halima showed her to her first task.

Where and how to find and do things were already covered that morning, it was Saturday and the rain has stopped, making it a beautiful day for people to come in and shop.

Haima greeted customers, while Iduna stacked the new arrivals. The book Agnarr was reading had come in, Iduna felt herself leap in excitement, she was curious to what it was, but she had to stay focus on her job right now. It was a beautiful blue covered book, by a Danish Author in Holland,

It's a story book like the Grimm, but isn't a collection of stories from a far, these were original. Iduna was curious, but she had to but the blue book down.

After sorting the books, Iduna went straight away to dust and wipe the counters and shelves. If asked a question she did her best to answer, but if she didn't know, she'd try to get Halima to help them.

When not dusting wiping or sorting books, she was sweeping, but only when there weren't many customers in the shop. Lunch breaks were fast, and few. Besides Halima, Charlotte was helping, which surprised Iduna greatly, she didn't think Charlotte was the type to get roped into doing work.

While setting up a display for new equitment for ice outside the store, she couldn't help but notice Charlotte handing out flyers of a local band playing at night in her mother's dinner.

Hudson's Harth was a Store, Motel, and diner. So that family really did have a lot to keep up with, and a part of me could relate.

When I was home, me and other kids would come to help our parents tend to the reindeer, we had to keep the balance between the plant life, without wandering too far, and keeping track of all the reigndeer as well.

It was tough work, but satisfying in the end, because it's what you do, and you love it.

I never thought I'd actually understand Charlotte, but maybe we aren't as different as I thought?

While figuring this in my head, I must have doddled too long, as I was snapped out of my thoughts by Charlotte.

"Iduna, what are you doing? Get back to work!" Charlotte barked. Without another word I got back to work. She's right unfortunately, I do need to work, I shouldn't let myself get distracted.

The day went by fairly quick, as I was given my leave, I made my way to the door. As I walked I noticed in the corner of my eye Charlotte trying to figure the placement of a display Halima did earlier. She barked about it at first but than left her be.

Despite her short comings, I guess you really can't judge a book by its cover, or maybe it's more than just that.

Agnarr is now fifteen, Emily, Charlotte and I are 12, but we're also growing up. We're still kids, but we've got two more years before we're faced with what we'll be doing with our lives.

Some become teachers, or work in local businesses. Others go into fishing, but most go into the ice business, as it's the real source of income. We import ice to far of lands for drinks, or hot summers, or to preserve food longer.

I've even heard someone using a cellar with walls of bricks to hold all the ice, they call it an ice box. It's astounding. I had asked Agnarr if he had one in his castle to hold the ice cream he had at his party, but he didn't.

It's something that's still a bit new, and with being in the ice buisness I guess feels a little weird to resort to that?

My thoughts were again cut short as I saw Emily coming towards me.

"Hey you, how's the job going? Did Charlotte fire you yet? She teased.

Smiling at her crude joke, I shook my head and gave her a warm hug.

Emily has been watching her younger brother, Derek. He's only five, but a real handful.

"Are you working after church, tomorrow?" Emily asked.

"Yes, I work everyday. Except Fridays, I was able to have at least one day off." I explained.

Emily nodded her head, in response. "Got it." She said.

We continued to talk until we were at my house, Emily wasn't too far away, we said our goodbyes, before heading in.

Arendelle is growing more and more on me, but it's still so strange. Every now and then people talk about the enchanted forest, and how the Northuldra could be so devious, and attack us.

I stayed silent whenever this came up. I didn't want to believe it, no, not the Northuldra. There must be some misunderstanding.

"With the time that has passed, I'm not sure what to believe anymore", I thought to myself.

"These are good people, but so are my people. I'd tell them if I could, but what would happen if I did. What would happen to Kye and Della? No, their betrayal is my burden."

"...wait their betrayal?"

{AUTHORS NOTE:}

Thanks so much! Trying to thicken the chapters, and add more to the characters.

I really hope your enjoying this Fandom?

I've done the math and Frozen II takes place in 1843 (three years after the events of Frozen), minus 34 years and you've got 1809.

Agnarr and Iduna are three years apart as well. So Agnarr was 14 when he became King Of Arendelle which means Iduna was supposedly 11. However with him now 15 with his birthday, means Iduna's birthday will becoming up soon.

I hope you're enjoying this fandom and hope you like to where the plot is going.

Taking off Historical reference at this time Nelopeon was invading Europe, which plays in this fictionalized work as Servilia AKA Sweden is holding their ground but is concerned as well. This fear understandably will push Duke William to do whatever it takes to ensure his country. Even work to marry off a Princess for an alliance.

I hope you're enjoying these new characters.

Yes Kai and Kye are the same name, but two different characters.

Sorry for that possible confusion.
