Chapter Eleven: Court

When Elsa left he couldn't stop thinking of her, even when he agreed to go to this "court" she mentioned. Hell, he still couldn't believe she was capable of creating something so cold it even bothered him when he felt it. That funny feeling came back at the thought of her and the protectiveness over the girl surprised him when he vowed to keep her from harm.

"What's happening to me with these changes?" He thought as he put his hands over his face. The mental image of the blond from the evening came back and his face became warm.

"Damn, this human body isn't helping my predicament." He thought as he layed back on the bed and drifted off to sleep.

Mathias woke up the next day with the sun shining through the window and into his eyes, not that he didn't sleep much any way but still got up. He had know idea what they do everyday so he started to explore his room more. The physician told him his leg was just bruised nothing serious so he took that as a sign as to walk around. He found a small room with more cloths which nerved him to no end, but he would admit that his last pair was comforting. So he grabbed the white shirt and black pants and put on the other shoes.

"Maybe this would get Kai off my back for a bit." He thought as he left his room and into the hallway. He still remembered about what Elsa said and decided to go find her before this "court" begins. luckily he bumped into Kai on his search. Kai was shocked to see Mathias up and early even after the fight in town and in the dungeons, how he was able to walk about with such energy he was unsure. But Kai was sent by Elsa to lead him to the dining room for breakfast and yet this made his task easier.

"Follow me." He said and Mathias began to follow him.

Elsa was in the dining room alone waiting for everyone to get up and join her for breakfast, normally it was Anna who was up before her. She couldn't sleep knowing she had to deal with the council on what to do with the Duke and his men. The Doors opened as Kai walked through with Mathias behind him, She let out a small smile knowing she wasn't the only one who didn't get any sleep.

"Good morning Mathias, it's nice of you to willingly join me." She said to him as he nodded in response as he approached the table. He looked around confused and Elsa realized he didn't know where to sit so Elsa decided to help him.

"You can sit here if you want." She offered him gesturing to the seat on the right next to her. He was hesitant but he slowly walked over to the seat slid it out and sat down. Elsa didn't know why she was happy that he decided to sit next to her. She was probably glad to have some company other than her sister, Kristoff and Olaf for a change but she didn't know.

"I'm just overthinking it." She thought as she watched Mathias look around the table curiously.

She watched him for a few moments until the servants brought in their breakfast for the day. Mathias eyes beamed into curiosity as they set down the food trays on the table. She wondered if he had any interaction with people before because of the way he acts. She was taken back when he started to sniff the air slightly and she couldn't help but laugh to herself.

"What's the matter Mathias never seen this kind of food before?" She asked jokingly. She was only kidding and didn't expect to get a slight nod for an answer.

"He really hasn't seen any of this." Elsa said to herself as Mathias gave her a questioning look.

"Hey!" She heard a familiar voice and this startled Mathias as he got out of chair and looked around to find the source. Elsa knowing who it was looked down to see Olaf, her childhood friend, standing next to her. Mathias noticed her actions and saw the snowman standing next to her. He slightly growled as he furrowed his brows at the little thing.

"Hi, I'm Olaf and i like warm hugs." He said to the tall man. Mathias stopped growling and his face became of one of confusion. He looked at her as if he wanted an explanation about the little snowman.

"This is my friend Olaf i created him a few years back during the eternal winter." She explained to him as he sat back down. He looked at her like he never heard of that incident before and seemed interested in it.

"Never mind." She said waving his look off.

"Hey Elsa, who's he?" Olaf asked her as he stared at Mathias with awe.

"Oh, Olaf this is Mathias, he'll be staying in the castle for a while." Elsa introduced him.

"He's tall." Olaf said as he looked up at Mathias. Mathias kneeled down with difficulty because of his left knee and examined the little snowman and looked up at the little cloud above his head. Elsa tried not to laugh as he began to sniff Olaf on top of the head.

"He's a weird one." Olaf whispered to her so Mathias couldn't hear him. The doors opened and Anna rushed through dragging a confused Kristoff.

"There you are Elsa! I was looking everywhere for you after i noticed you weren't in your room!" Anna exclaimed as she sat down at the other side of the table.

"I told you to ask Kai but apparently you didn't listen to common sense." Kristoff said with a huff.

Mathias looked between the two as they continued to argue and was about to quiet them down when Elsa beat him to it.

"That's enough you two, now breakfast is ready so why don't we eat before court starts." Elsa suggested and the couple got quiet and started to make their plates. He watched them a few minutes trying to figure out how to eat without embarrassing himself.

"Come now i know you're hungry." Elsa said as she made her plate.

"Here goes nothing." He thought as he started use the same utensils they used and was doing well. He was quite proud of himself until he bent the fork from adding too much pressure. Everyone stopped and looked at him and the bent fork. He breathed a heavy sigh as he set the fork down and looked away from the wary eyes.

"I don't think you're supposed to bend the fork." Kristoff joked but stopped laughing when Mathias glared at him.

"Stop making fun of him. Can't you see he's trying!" Anna scolded him, making the blond man flinch. Mathias stared at the couple with an amused look on his face as the red headed women dominated the argument with ease. Kai entered the room and walked straight to Elsa and whispered something in her ear as she nodded her head in understanding.

"Seems young Alice doesn't want to join us. I can understand that after what she's been through yesterday." Elsa said looking down at the table with sadness in her eyes. Mathias growled remembering how he found her yesterday and it infuriated him no end. A cool hand touched his arm and traced it back to Elsa who had an apologetic look on her face. Mathias's anger died out when he looked at those icy blue eyes of hers.

"Kai send some breakfast to Alice's room please." Elsa asked the older man.

"Consider it done your majesty." He said as he made a plate and left.

Elsa looked at her sister with a small smile.

"What are your plans for today?" She asked her. Anna beamed at her sister trying to lighten the mood for everyone.

"Well i have to get everything planned for the wedding, find out who to invite." She rambled and Mathias thought the list went on forever.

"Anna, I'll handle the arrangements." Elsa said catching everyone off guard including Mathias.

"Y-You don't have to." Anna exclaimed but Elsa raised her hand to silence her.

"I insist as your older sister to see everything through for your wedding." The young monarch continued as she stood up from her seat and turned to Mathias.

"I know you didn't get the chance to eat, maybe you can join me for lunch after court." She suggested. He didn't know when the court would end so he nodded and got up from his seat.

"You two are going to court?" Anna asked them suspiciously.

"I asked him if he could join me last night and he agreed to it." Elsa explained with a small smile as she looked at the taller man next to her.

"Are you sure that's the reason you wanted him to join you in court?" She asked her with mischief in her eyes and had Kristoff snickering at the question. Elsa was about to retort, but stopped having nothing to say but Mathias stepped forward and grunted at the two of them. He smirked after he sniffed the air and pointed at kristoff furrowing his brows as he did then picked up the bent fork in his left hand and covered it up with the other successfully crushing it into a ball before letting it drop onto the table.

"I-I think i got the message." Kristoff stuttered in fright as the taller man walked away toward the door with a confused Elsa following behind.

Mathias took a left but stopped as he looked sheepishly at Elsa, gesturing her to lead.

"This way." She said going down the right hallway.

"What message was he trying to give Kristoff?" Elsa thought as she made a left turn into another hallway. She was thinking it was a threat but he was smirking before he smelled the air then did that performance. She wanted answers for his actions and she was bound to get one whether he could talk or not.

"Mathias, you mind explaining your actions in the dining room." She said stopping in front of him. He stopped and looked at her before he lifted his hand toward his mouth and jabbed one of his fingers into one of his teeth drawing out blood. Elsa was startled by his action and quickly became curious as he pointed at the wounded finger.

"I-I don't understand, what are trying to tell me." She told him. He lifted the finger toward his nose and sniffed it then pointed back the way we came.

"Why would he smell his wounded finger?" She thought as she began to ponder on what his actions mean.

Mathias stood patiently hoping him making himself bleed would get the message across. In the room he smelled blood the scent was coming from Elsa's sister and guessed that kristoff probably hurt her so he used the fork as an example of what he'll do to him. He's trying to fit in and this was their home and wasn't about to do anything without warning or reason.

"I'll figure out what you're trying to tell me later alright." She said as she walked away. Mathias stood there in disbelief as she moved further ahead.

"Thought she would be the smart one." He thought as he hurried up to catch her before he lost her. They arrived at a large door with two guards on either side. Elsa nodded her head and they quickly opened the doors to let them in. The guards backed away as Mathias approached the entrance. There were many people mostly men from what Mathias could tell as he follow Elsa to one of many chairs but this was in front of everyone else.

"This is the council, so try to show some respect and try to resist hurting the men in trial in front of them please." She whispered to him and he grumbled in response as he began to look for a place to sit.

"What's he doing here?" One council member asked to no one in particular.

"Isn't he the one who ruined those houses in town?" Another asked. Elsa had enough and decided to end the endless questions.

"Enough! we're here to trial the men of Westleton." She reminded them and they got quiet signaling her to proceed.

"Mathias, You can stand next to me." She suggested him and he slowly walked up next to the large seat and stood by her left.

"Y-Your majesty is that necessary?" One of the members asked.

"It's fine, nothing will happen." She assured them as she looked toward the guards.

"Bring them in!" She commanded and they went behind the door to bring out the men from earlier, the old one in front who scowled at her until he noticed Mathias's presence. They stopped in front of them with only a few feet distance each cuffed by their hands. Mathias noticed the older one had a slight smirk on his face.

"What the hell is he smirking about?" He thought as he scowled at old man with disgust.

"Well, well isn't it the witch and her savaged pet." The Duke spat earning a cackled growl from Mathias. Elsa's expression stayed blank when he said those words and continued to speak.

"You're here for tempting to assassinate me under more than one occasion." She spoke her voice distant and cold it started to creep Mathias out a bit but it didn't stop him from wandering when was the other time they tried to kill her and for what reason. He was brought out of thought when the Duke started talking to her.

"I was traumatized by your sorcery, putting the entire kingdom into an eternal winter." He hissed at her and Mathias was about to lunge but stopped remembering what Elsa said and stayed put. The duke noticed this and decided to get under his skin.

"Looks like the ice witch has you on a short leash, can't even touch me without her permission." He taunted the taller man. Elsa noticed what he was trying to do and stepped in.

"Enough, you will not speak to him that way!" She demanded in her authoritative tone as she glared at him with her cold blue eyes. She noticed that Mathias tensed up and his sights focused on the Duke.

"Stay calm, he's only playing mind tricks don't fall for it." She thought as she looked at him with pleading eyes and Mathias noticed and sighed relaxing his body.

The duke smirked knowing he was getting to him so he tried a different approach.

"Didn't i mention about what fun my men had with the girl." He said and a ear splitting roar boomed and he knew he had him as Mathias began to charge toward him but stopped mere inches from him. The duke saw his amber eyes glow as if they were burning with hatred's fire. He flared his nostrils at him before returning to the Queens side and started to calm down. The Duke knew something wasn't right with him, the way he acts and his abnormal strength, he does not function as a human being, not entirely at least.

"What are you?" The Duke asked the taller man in question.

"Guards take them to the ship send them back to their homeland so they could deal with them." Elsa ordered and the guards came to grab them. Mathias watched until he caught a slight odor near him as a servant gave Elsa a cup and the Duke's smile grew wider.

Elsa thanked the servant before she lifted the cup Mathias grabbed her hand stopping her and yanked it away from her. She was about to protest when she saw him sniff the cup and slightly growled before turning around to face the retreating Duke. He walked to the nearest guard and handed him the drink. He cautiously sniffed it then threw the cup down.

"Bring the Duke!" He ordered and two men dragged the Duke to him.

"I believe that makes three attempts." The guard said pointing at the cup with it's spilled content. The Duke's smile faded and turned to rage.

"She doesn't belong in this world, she must burn in hell if it's the last thing i do!" He yelled and was about to continue when Mathias grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and lifted him to his eye level.

"Look's like he has some plans for you." The guard chuckled as Mathias gave a low growl in his face.

"A-About those last comments, no hard feelings?" The Duke asked him. The council stood up and watched the scene as Mathias roared in his face and tossed him to the ground.

"Take him away!" One of the guards ordered and they dragged him away.

"What was the meaning of this?" Elsa asked as she stood up from her seat and looked at the two men.

"There was poison in your drink your majesty, luckily this lad caught it on time." The guard explained pointing at the spilled content on the floor. Her eyes widened at the realization and quickly apologized to them and the council for Mathias's actions before they left. She walked up to Mathias when they were alone finally and sadly smiled at him.

"Thank you again Mathias, i believe i still owe you some lunch as promised." She said earning a wild smirk from him.
