When breakfast had started, I got to meet some of the other royals who were visiting. There were two princesses, and a pair of twins who were cousins of the reigning royalty from their kingdom. Only the girl spoke to us, and only to give us that information since we all fell quiet. We were sitting around a large table, mostly silent until the Sister Queens came. The twins were nearly constantly whispering to each other. The boy seemed to be describing everything to his sister, and it dawned on me that she was at least partly blind.
When Queen Anna sat down, it was as if we were all surprised to see her there. We just looked at her for a few moments before I had to clear my throat. That snapped them all out of it, and we all began introducing ourselves. The twin girl was, in fact, part blind. Her brother didn't like talking to others, so she was more vocal outwards while he told her what was happening.
The other two princesses were, actually, only one princess and a queen. The princess was known as the Lost Princess of Corona, Rapunzel. She was a cousin to Queen Anna, and attended Queen Elsa's coronation when she froze Arendelle. The queen was Queen Ella, who reigned over the land of Verre, known as the Commoner Queen by most people. She was well into her years, as she put it, and thought to come to give tips to the expecting queen.
"And you?" Princess Rapunzel asked me.
"Aria of Glory-Haven."
"And your standing? In your family, I mean, what is your title?"
"I gave up the crown to my little brother, so… I don't really know anymore."
"But Louis called you a princess…" Queen Elsa said, picking at her hand.
"Just a… formality. I was never coronated, so my title should be a princess, but it does not feel like that is what I am."
They all nodded, as if they understood my troubles. Perhaps it was not like they were pretending to know, but just sympathy. Either way, it did not comfort me.
The rest of the breakfast went swimmingly, and we all tip-toed around each other like a dogs with fish. At the end of the meal, Queen Anna got up and offered to take us all on a tour of the castle, as long as we let her rest from time to time. We all agreed, since we would have to walk slower for our blind duchess companion.
We must have looked like an insane group of explorers, we were quite the gathering. A former queen with ice powers, her short pregnant sister, a rather muscular queen, a brunette walking barefoot, and a pair of twins who were nearly silent as they walked despite one being blind.
Even though we had a rather stiff presence at the breakfast table, we relaxed as soon as we were in the corridor. The Lost Princess walked between every window, and painting, and even door. When she began skipping, I caught sight of a bit of dried paint on her heel. It was as if she stepped in it and didn't notice.
The Sister Queens explained about the castle until we came up to a grand ballroom, where the sisters stopped short and exchanged a look of excitement.
"How would you guys feel about a little game?" Queen Elsa swiveled.
"What kind of game?" Queen Ella asked, raising an eyebrow playfully.
"When we were little, we used to play a game where Elsa would make a maze, and we would start in the center. We would each go down a different path, and sabotage was allowed if Elsa didn't use her powers." The blind duchess 'hmm'-ed, and we all turned to look at her.
"And what about me and Kai? I doubt I could go anywhere by myself and believe it or not, Kai loves pranking when I'm not around to stop him." Duchess Kay said, pulling on her brother's arm.
"You may be together, of course. Also, I think it is a good idea to set down some rules." the Snow Queen said, clapping. We followed her to the middle of the ballroom and she threw up walls of snow with a wave.
"Firstly, no powers. That one was a given, I would've won over Anna every time. Second, the first of us to the top of the stairs wins. Any form of snow-sabotage is acceptable, and leaping over walls is permitted if it is to start a snowball fight with someone else. The objective is also to be the least snowed, so dodge as much as possible! Now, everyone ready? Pick a route!"
The Snow Queen hauled a snowball into the air and we went off as soon as it hit the ground.
The game has begun.
Heyo! So, in case it was not clear and you are searching your memories for Duchess Kay and Duke Kai, they are OCs and NOT Disney's characters. Aria is also an OC, and my changes on any of Disney's characters will be solely my own as this is my story. Anyway, follow on insta at miraculous_maker_53, concepts will be up soon! And please leave a review, they motivate me!
