Chapter Twenty-One: Wedding Day

It was finally the day the young couple got married and everyone was busy including Elsa, who was helping Mathias look for a suitable suit to wear to Mathias's personal enjoyment. Alice was already thanks to Gerda and was waiting outside of Mathias's room. She could hear Elsa and Mathias talking about the wedding and when to tell them something. This got the young redhead curious as she tried to listen to more of their conversation but sadly heard nothing. She heard the door open and some heavy footsteps as she assumed it was Mathias.

"Alice! What are you doing outside my room?" He asked her patiently as he looked down at her. Alice didn't know what to say till she heard Elsa walk up behind him quietly scolding him for his actions.

"Gerda dropped me off here." She finally said stopping Elsa's scolding as the attention was now on her. Elsa gave her a second looked before she smiled at the young girl.

"You look wonderful Alice." The young queen complemented her in honesty. Mathias too smiled at Alice before he remembered the time and snapped his head toward Elsa.

"You need to get ready woman, last time i checked you're supposed to walk Anna down the altar." He exclaimed as he ushered her out of the bedroom doorway and he quickly remembered Alice.

"And please take Alice with you." He said and Elsa hurried back and took Alice by the hand and lead her away from his room.

"Thank you!" She heard him shout to Elsa from down the hallway and kept quiet till they were in Elsa's room. Alice sat on the bed patiently waiting for Elsa to get ready when she decided to ask her about her conversation with Mathias.

"E-Elsa, what were you and Mathias talking about?" She asked causing the young monarch to freeze in her tracks. The room was deathly quiet and this got Alice nervous till she heard Elsa move toward her and sit down next to her.

"I-I don't know how to tell you, it's a perplexing situation for me at the moment." She said quietly as she rested her and on the girl's shoulder. Alice was even more confused now as she tried to put the pieces together. Elsa sighed knowing they were going to find out sooner and decided to tell her.

"Me and Mathias wanted to wait to tell all of you, but since you heard us talk i'll tell you only if you can keep it quiet till after the wedding." She said and Alice quickly nodded ushering her to continue as she wanted to know their secret.

"Well Mathias has been...courting me for a while." She told her and Alice tried to reach out for Elsa and almost fell down when the young woman caught her as Alice squealed in excitement.

"Congratulations Elsa!" She exclaimed in excitement as she hugged Elsa tighter. Elsa looked at her in disbelief but it quickly turned into a smile.

"Thank you Alice, but you must keep this a secret till after the wedding." Elsa said as she walked back to her closet but Alice stopped her.

"Wear something that will catch Mathias's attention but not to much to be the center of attention." Alice suggested and Elsa pondered on it before she undid her signature braid and let her hair fall down and went for the dress she will now wear for the wedding.

Mathias stood behind Kristoff at the altar waiting for Elsa and Anna. Both men were nervous even though they wouldn't admit it. Mathias knew why Kristoff was so nervous and wished he could give the poor man some advice before but didn't have any as this is his first time attending something like this. Mathias was nervous because of the fact he had to stand in front of a large crowd of people from different places and he wanted to beat the hell out of a few already as they looked at Kristoff in disgust. He remembered the promise he made to Elsa, saying that he won't cause a scene at her sister's wedding as it is special to her. So there he was trying to keep a lid on his ever growing temper.

"Elsa, where the hell are you?" He thought to himself when he caught scent of Anna which wasn't hard because of the baby. He slightly flinched remembering he said the wrong answer when she asked him if a certain dress made her look fat. He didn't know why she started to hit him, she asked for his honest opinion and he gave it to her. Elsa explained later that day that he wasn't supposed to give her an honest answer and how she will always take a small compliments as an insult. The sound of the doors opening brought him out of his thoughts as he looked at the door and just as the music played in time as the two women entered.

"Guess today's your lucky day." Mathias whispered to Kristoff who merely as they watched the two women approach them. But Mathias was having trouble keeping his eyes of Elsa as she looked a lot more different with her hair down. Her dress was white like Anna's but it seemed more simple as it showed her shoulders. Her eyes met his and they seemed lost in each other's eyes till the finally stopped in front of the preacher. She slightly kissed her sister on the cheek before parting away from her but didn't sit down as she stood the opposite of him. He noticed the necklace she was wearing and remembered the day he first gave it to her and it brought strange sensation in his chest but he quickly ignored it as the ceremony began.

"Congratulations!" Mathias said giving Kristoff a clap on the back who looked around sheepishly. He saw Elsa hug her sister and knew it was hard letting someone as close as her go. He walked over to her as they parted and he stopped in front of her and stared into her watery blue eyes before he embraced her in a hug.

"Mathias! Before someone sees us like this." She said as her cheeks turned red in embarrassment. He pulled away and his smile broadened with pride.

"Does it look like i care what they think?" He asked her as his face was mere inches away from her. She let out a small smile as he let go of her and gave her some space. They looked around and saw the crowd heading for the ballroom for the party. Mathias offered her his arm and she gladly took it as they began to join the rest of the party down at the ballroom. Mathias stood next to Elsa as they watched the people dance around the room and he wondered why she doesn't want to join the festivities. He was surprised she declined a few other men when they asked her to dance. He decided to take his chances and moved in front of her with a small smile.

"A beautiful woman like you deserves to have a goodtime." He said and this caused the queen to blush as she looked down in embarrassment. Mathias knew he had her and decided to take the next step.

"Queen Elsa of Arendelle may i have this dance?" He asked as he bowed slightly like some of the other royals did moments ago. Elsa stood there for a few moments and some of the other royals watched to see if she'll let him down as well. She stepped forward and held out her hand and Mathias gently took it in his as he lead her to the dance floor. Some of the dignitaries looked at him in disbelief as he started to move slowly in sync with the queen.

"Did anyone tell you how beautiful you truly look today?" Mathias asked her trying to flatter her little did he know it worked a bit as she gave him a playful glare.

"Too many people said it already when they're supposed to compliment Anna." She said sadly and Mathias grumbled in agreement as they continued to dance in silence enjoying each other's company. The music changed and Elsa lead him away from the center as they began to watch Anna and Kristoff dance away till slowly everyone followed suit and Elsa led them through the crowd toward the newly wed couple.

"Congratulations Anna." Mathias said to Anna as he slightly hugged her, being careful not to hurt her and the baby. Her smile brightened as she looked up at him and nodded up to him as she accepted another hug from her sister.

"My little sister is all grown up." Elsa said with tears in her eyes as she pulled back and looked at Anna lovingly. Mathias and Kristoff stood back and watched the sisters interact in silence thinking how lucky they are to have them in their lives. They faced each other and Mathias gave a small smile before shaking hands with Kristoff till he pulled him away for some small talk. They arrived outside the ballroom and Mathias let out a low chuckle as he looked back and saw how big the crowd was and back to the mountain man.

"Trust me it took practice till i was finally used to it." Kristoff spoke answering Mathias's silent question as he too looked at the large crowd in the ballroom. Mathias looked at him in disbelief and slightly shook his head as he leaned against the wall.

"Even the pathetic royals?" Mathias questioned and he was answered with a nod.

"Some of the royal dignitaries want Elsa's hand so they could rule Arendelle as king." Kristoff explained and was confused when Mathias bursted out laughing.

"What, what so funny?" Kristoff questioned the taller man who finally stopped and gave him a small smile as he approached him.

"They might as well stop now." He said confusing Kristoff even more. He then put the pieces together, remembering all the times Mathias was with Elsa and finally figured out what he meant.

"Y-You're courting Elsa?" Kristoff asked in disbelief and this made Mathias laugh again.

"We were keeping it a secret till after the two of you got married." Mathias explained but Kristoff was still confused and many questions to ask him.

"How long were you two together?" He asked him and Mathias was silent for a while trying to find the answer himself.

"I-I believe it's been... eight months now i believe." Mathias said uncertainly as he scratched the back of his head in confusion. Kristoff was about to ask another question but Mathias raised his hand stopping him.

"All will be answered later but for now you need to be with your woman." Mathias said as he walked back in the crowd of people leaving Kristoff there in the hallway for a few moments till he too joined him.

Elsa couldn't believe this was happening to her baby sister and could've been prouder of her. Standing before her isn't her baby sister anymore but a happy young woman who's about to be a mother. The thought pained her seeing her sister like this and always told herself that it is for the best and if her sister is happy so is she as she'll always be there for her.

"Elsa are you okay?" Anna asked in concern as she stepped closer to her older sister. Elsa forced a small smile as she but was a little thankful of her for being concerned.

"I-I'm fine Anna thanks you for asking." She said to her but Anna's attention wasn't on her which confused her till a hand clasped gently on her shoulder startling her a bit till she heard Mathias's voice which calmed her down.

"Elsa, i know you're lying so tell us what's wrong." Mathias said behind her and she guessed he was listening to her and Anna's conversation. She turned around and looked up to him and saw concern in his eyes as he watched her carefully as is studying her. She looked at Anna then back to Mathias as tears began to form in her eyes.

"I-I'm sorry." She said with quiet sobs as she walked away from the duo and disappeared into the crowd, some watching the scene looked at her curiously as she passed by.

"E-Elsa!" Anna called out as she began to follow her but Mathias put an arm out in front of her causing her to stop. She looked up and was about to say something but stopped when she saw the hurt look in his amber eyes as he too starred in the direction Elsa went. He looked down at her and moved his hand to rest on her shoulder as she continued to stare at him.

"Let me go talk to her, i don't need you getting stressed about this and make a scene out of it." Mathias said but Anna still remained silent.

"This is your party to celebrate so don't worry about Elsa, i'll take care of it." He continued before he walked away looking for Elsa.

Elsa didn't know what she was feeling at the moment and it confused her as she stood on the balcony looking out to the fjord. She knew deep down her parents would be proud of her and Anna for the things they accomplished since the great freeze. But yet every time she saw her sister with Kristoff she would feel a twinge of jealousy and she hated it.

"I-I love Mathias so why do i feel this way?" She thought as she looked up to the moon which shone brightly tonight. She huffed a sigh of frustration as she tried to find the answer to her situation. She heard footsteps approach her and knew it wasn't Mathias because his steps are more heavy like compared to the light steps she was hearing.

"Ah, Queen Elsa, pleasure of meeting you here." The voice said and she turned around to see a young man with brown hair and chocolate eyes. He was also well toned by the looks of it she guessed he wasn't as strong as Mathias. He wore a dark suit with a red tie and had the most creepiest smile on his face that made her skin crawl.

"Who are you?" She asked him as she turned to him fully. His smile didn't leave as he approached her and didn't stop till he was right in front of her, his face inches from hers.

"Prince Joseph of the Northern Isles." He said as he put both arms out stopping her from going anywhere.

"Prince Joseph! What is the meaning of this?" Elsa demanded as frost started to form in her hands for fear of what he'll try to do to her. His smile broadened even more as he pressed himself to her more as he neared himself to her right ear.

"You'll do as i say unless you want something bad to happen to your sister. Especially since she's with child." He sneered in her ear and Elsa became even more frightened as he forced his lips on hers silencing her from screaming.

"Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing?!" She heard a familiar voice shout drawing Joseph's attention to the doorway. She saw Mathias standing there glaring at the prince with his amber eyes as Joseph slowly approached him with the same smirk.

"Nothing just having some time with the queen, right your majesty." He said as he turned his back to Mathias to look at Elsa and was surprised to see her furious as she glared daggers at him.

"Remember what i said before and think i won't do it." He mouthed to her but she didn't falter from his threat as she looked behind him to Mathias.

"Don't bother saying anything, i heard every last word come from him." Mathias sneered as he slowly approached Prince Joseph. Elsa continued to glare at the prince as he looked at her with fear in his eyes.

"You can try to take this body but my heart will always belong to him and him alone!" She said pointing to the taller man behind Joseph.

"He actually treats me as a person and loves me for who i am. He doesn't think i'm a monster because of my power like you people do, no he see's it as a gift." She said surprising both men as she approached the prince. She looked the man in the eyes before she smacked him across the face.

"You will not ruin my sister's wedding night nor threaten her life, now i believe it's time for you to leave. Mathias deal with him as you wish." She said as she walked past Joseph and stopped next to Mathias.

"Elsa, we're gonna have a small chat after i take care of this." He said gesturing to the prince, who had his back pressed to the balcony railing. She gave him a small smile but before she left Mathias stopped her.

"Talk to Anna first please, she's worried about you." He said and she gave him a knodd as she left Mathias to tend to the prince. Joseph stood there fearing what the man might do to him and in surprised he leaned himself against the wall still glaring at him with his amber eyes.

"Now i know what you're thinking at the moment but i promised Elsa i wouldn't start a scene with anybody so i'm gonna give you the option to leave and never come back or you can try something absolutely stupid that ends up with you being thrown off the balcony, it's all up to you so choose carefully." Mathias said with a small smirk as he continued to watch Joseph waiting to see what he'll do next. The prince was furious at both the queen and the commoner standing before him and wouldn't be mocked that way by anyone.

"How...How dare you threaten me the Prince of the Northern Isles. Assaulting me would mean war between the two kingdoms." He sneered at Mathias who stood there with a calm expression as he pushed himself from the side of the doorway, seeming interested in what will happen next.

"Try it, i dare you to try to attack me you spoiled brat!" Mathias challenged the young prince and got what he wished for as Joseph charged at him raising his left fist back for a punch. Mathias didn't even try to move as the punch landed on his chest and the taller man smirked at the results as the prince yelped in pain as he grabbed his left hand in surprise.

"Don't think i don't know what you truly are." He said surprising Mathias as he stared at him incredulously. The Prince laughed at the taller man and decided to tell him how much he knows.

"You might not know it but i was there that night when you walked up to shore. I seen the events that turned you into what you are now." He said and Mathias grabbed him and lifted him over the railing of the balcony his eyes burning in anger.

"Now, now we wouldn't want your precious queen to know of your secret now would we. Of course she loves you now but think what will happen if she found out that her lover his nothing more than an overgrown reptile." Joseph said with a chuckle but Mathias wasn't in the mood for those things as he wanted to know who cursed him in the first place.

"Tell me who are the ones responsible for this and maybe i'll spare you." He said as a growl emanated deep in his throat. The prince now feared for his life as he knew the mistake he made for saying the last part and when he didn't say anything Mathias roared at him before he threw further away from the railing and he fell to the ground with a yell then a loud crack. Mathias heard him cry out in pain as he grabbed his right leg.

"You should've just told me everything you knew and this would've happened." He thought as jumped down and landed with ease and slowly walked over to him. When he knelt down beside him Joseph tried to crawl away but Mathias grabbed the broken leg and started to squeeze it taking satisfaction in the man's screams.

"I didn't see who did it to you, it was too dark i couldn't see everything i swear!" He cried out and Mathias let him go in time as some guards came by. One of the guards smirked at the scene before him and looked at Mathias.

"I see you had some fun tormenting him before we arrived, Queen Elsa told us to escort the prince back to his ship so he'll leave tomorrow morning." He said as he and his companion came up and roughly grabbed the prince not caring if they hurt his leg and dragged him a few feet before Mathias stopped them.

"Thanks Jonathan." He said and the older guard smiled as he continued to drag the prince away from the castle grounds. Mathias slowly became friends with Jonathan over the months of his stay since the assassination attempt on Elsa's life in a court meeting for the men of westleton. Mathias knew he stayed out for too long and started to head back to talk to Elsa as he promised he would but Joseph's words still echoed in his mind over and over again.

"Why should i care if he knows. Its not like anyone going to believe him anyway." He thought as he approached the steps going up to his destination. He knew he would tell her someday but what the prince said made him ill thinking what Elsa would say and do if she knew his true self. His mind went blank when he heard the voice of the very woman who tamed his heart as he turned around and saw Elsa walking up to him with a small smile on her rosy lips.

"Elsa what are you doing here, you should be with your sister." Mathias said as he began to walk to meet her halfway in the courtyard.

"I got worried about you that's all." Elsa said and Mathias couldn't help but chuckle and this made Elsa pout a little.

"What, i'm not allowed to worry about you?" She asked but fell on deaf ears as Mathias seemed to stare at her contently and this made her cheeks burn up. He began to walk up to her slowly with a small smile on his face and wondered what has gotten into him until she heard the music playing in the ballroom and finally caught on to what he was doing and waited for him.

Mathias knew she was a gift from the heavens that could save him from hell as the moon glistening off her body making her more like an angel if he ever saw one then she might as well be in his opinion. He gently set her hands on her hips as she wrapped her arms around his neck as they slowly moved swaying side to side. Mathias knew she wouldn't admit this but she had fire in her soul and he could easily see it as of the devil himself was being pulled out of his own soul everytime he seen it. They continued to dance in the courtyard without a care in the world and didn't care if anyone saw they looks they had for each other. Anna and Kristoff went down to say their goodbyes till they saw them dancing in a slow pace clearly oblivious of their surroundings. They kept quiet for a while watching probably the best moment that ever happened to Elsa since the great freeze. It wasn't long till they finally kissed each other clearly showing this was the first real step in their relationship. Anna nearly gasped while Kristoff gave a low whistle which brought the duo out of their little world.

"A-Anna, you're leaving already?" Elsa finally spoke as she recovered from her blissful moment. Anna merely nodded as she approached Elsa and Mathias. She looked up at the tall man who stole her sister's heart and smiled at him.

"I never knew someone like you would make my big sister happy as she was moments ago. Please take care of her?" She asked him and he nodded as she continued.

"I know how much you truly love her and there's no denying it now since Kristoff told me everything, we'll be gone for three weeks so i know she's in good hands with you and it might as well give you two some privacy if you know what i mean." Anna said with a laugh. Mathias was confused and looked at Elsa for answers till he noticed how red she looked and then back to Kristoff as he tried to hold in his laughter.

"I'll do no such thing with him!" Elsa blurted out shocking the hell out of Mathias as he stared at her in disbelief. Anna stood there with an amused expression as she wasn't buying it.

"Yeah, keep telling yourself that." She said as she hugged her sister and left them alone in the courtyard. The couple stood there with Mathias as confused as ever when he turned to Elsa.

"Please tell me what she was talking about." He asked her and she was still embarrassed by the fact her sister would say such a thing.

"M-Maybe later but for now lets head back inside before some of the guests get suspicious of our disappearance." She said and they left the courtyard in silence to enjoy the rest of the party.
