Elsa and her family along with the King and his family all sit down at the royal table. The King and Queen had a very large family. Mostly all of Hans brothers were married with children. The King sits next to his wife and his first born Caleb. Elsa sits across next to Anna and Kristoff and Olaf. The king stands up and everyone gets silent. He lifts his big cup to speak.

"We are honored today to be joined by Queen Elsa of Arandelle and Princess Anna of Arandelle. Here is to the bright future of both our kingdoms." He lifts his cup up making a toast.

Elsa stands up to also propose a toast.

"Thank you your Majesty for your kind words. And to all of you, his family for making us feel welcomed and at home." Everyone raises their cups and nod their heads agreeing with Elsa's words. As Elsa sits down she starts to notice the Kings wife next to him looking down trying to hide her face. She can see the sadness in her bright green eyes.

They all began to feast on the glorious meals that were prepared for them. As Elsa and Anna eat their meals they begin to look around to see where Hans was anywhere near by, or if he would join them for their dine.

"Where do you think Hans is?" Says Anna as she leans over and whispers to Elsa.

"I don't know, that's what I'm trying to figure out." Whispers Elsa back. She found it weird since he being the prince of the king was not joining them, surely he still received special treatment even after all he's done especially after serving under their prison.

As time went on she started to notice that many of his brothers all seem to have the same personality. They all came off as very arrogant and demanding which surprised her very much considering she just saw them behaving like such Princes when they arrived. All except one. She notices one of Hans brothers who seemed to only be concentrated on his wife and their child as he ignored his brothers. He was tall with brighter auburn hair compared to Hans with sideburns as well only he was scrawny and wore glasses. "Maybe that's just how brothers are." Thought Elsa as she tries to not think too much of it.

After dinner was over the King stood up with the Queen following behind and went to Elsa and Anna to speak to them.

"Shall I take you to your room that you may rest?"

"We would really appreciate that." Says Anna.

Kristoff walks behind Anna

"Oh boy you are telling me. I ate so much I'm having a hard time breathing." Anna elbows Kristoff to be polite.

"We will follow your lead your majesty." Says Elsa. The king shakes his head in agreeance and speaks loudly with a serious tone to his sons.

"Boys." The brothers all stop what they are doing and pay attention. "Make yourselves useful and take their belongings to their rooms at once."

"Yes Father." Responds Prince Caleb. The King then turns to Elsa "Now, shall we?"

The King seemed to be a very mature man with a temper. He wasn't as tall as Hans and his brothers. In fact he had dark blonde hair with grey coming in. A goatee beard and blue eyes, much like Caleb. In fact much of Hans brothers looked like their father. All except Hans who seemed to take more from his mother. Nevertheless the resemblance was there. It wasn't hard to tell that this was Hans family.

The king takes Elsa and Anna to the room of the royals of Arandelle.

"Here, Queen Elsa and Princess Anna is where you will stay for the night. As for the three of you, there is a spare room right next door." Elsa walks into the room while the brothers of Hans finish putting their belongings in the room.

"Thank you your majesty. This will do just fine Says Queen Elsa as she turns around.

"My pleasure. I must take care of some things but I will be back later in the afternoon." Says the King as he begins to leave the room with their sons follwing him. Queen Magdalia was left alone with Elsa and Anna.

"Is there anything I can do for both of you?" Says Queen Magdalia with a gentle voice.

"No thank you your majesty." Says Elsa.

"I think Kristoff and I are gonna go explore the Southern Isles. Is that Okay Elsa?" Says Anna.

"Only if that's okay with Queen Magdalia." Says Elsa as she turns to the Queen.

"Of course, please make yourselves at home." Says Queen Magdalia.

"Great! We'll be right back Elsa." Says Anna as she grabs Kristoffs arm and drags him out with Olaf and Sven follwing behind. Queen Elsa and Queen Magdalia were left alone in the room.

"Would you like for me to show you around the castle?" Says Queen Magdalia.

"I would love that." Says Elsa with a smile. Elsa was very touched by how nice and gentle Queen Magdalia was. She spoke with such love and patience that reminded Elsa of her mother. And so Queen Magdalia took Elsa and they walked together around the giant castle as the Queen showed her around each room and painting and even libraries.

"This sure is a lovely castle you have your majesty." Says Elsa.

"Oh thank you Queen Elsa. A little too big for my taste but it's what King Soren likes." Says Queen Magdalia with a gentle smile. As they walked they spoke about many different things. About Arandelle or even Elsa's mother.

"You're mother was the most wonderful woman I've ever met. You've taken so much from her. I'm sure she would be very proud of you." Says Queen Magdalia as she gently takes Elsa's hands.

Elsa can't help but smile, she knew she was telling the truth. Elsa had nothing but lovely memories with her mother.

"Thank you your majesty, I hope she truly is." Says Elsa with a gentle smile. They walked past many rooms that had doors opened that belonged to the King and Queens children. Queen Magdalia explained which of all the rooms belonged to which son. Suddenly there was one room that had its door all the way in the end that had it's door closed. Elsa becomes curious.

"Queen Magdalia, if you don't mind me asking who's room is that?" Says Elsa. Queen Magdalia becomes silent and Elsa could see the nervous expression in her face begin to rise with sadness.

"That .. is Hans room." Says Queen Magdalia. Elsa eyes grow wide. She turns around to stare at the closed door.

"Is he in there?" Says Elsa as she tried to keep her anxiety under control.

"No he is not. Hans hasn't been to the castle since he's returned .." Says Queen Magdalia.

"I see .." Says Elsa. Suddenly something came over her and she didn't know why but she decided to ask Queen Magdalia something she wouldn't ever thought she would ask.

"May I see his room." Says Elsa. Queen Magdalia becomes surprised by her question.

"Ye— Yes. If you'd like .." Says Queen Magdalia. Elsa slowly walks to the door and places her hand in the knob. She takes a deep breath and slowly opens the door. Inside the room was nothing. Only a simple bed and closet with the remainder of his clothes. She was surprised how empty it was.

"My husband ordered for everything to be taken away once he found out about what happened in Arandelle .." Says Queen Magdalia with sadness.

Elsa walks slowly to Hans bed and sees a pair of white folded gloves. The same gloves he wore when he went to Arandelle. Elsa stares at the gloves as she starts to remember when he had lied to her about Anna being dead. How it was all a lie.

She turns around to see a study desk with a large window. On top of the study desk was a red book. She walks towards the study desk and picks up the book. Shakespeare's Sonnets.

"Hans was a lover of Shakespeare stories. He read all of them since a young age all the way to his adulthood." Says Queen Magdalia.

"Really, is that so .. I'm also a fan of Shakespeare. I've read his stories a lot in my years of isolation." Says Elsa surprised by Hans interest in Shakespeare as she starts to flip through the pages and sees the notes that he had written.

"Queen Elsa .. I am truly sorry for what Hans did to you, your family and your people." Says Queen Magdalia with a sad expression. Que Elsa looks up from the book to Queen Magdalia's sad eyes.

"Thank you. I appreciate that." Says Elsa with a half smile.

"Well I will leave you to get some rest." Says Queen Magdalia as she begins to leave.

"Queen Magdalia, may I hang on to this book? I would really love to read." Says Elsa.

"Of course my child, in fact you can have it." Says Queen Magdalia as she smiles. Elsa smiles back at the Queen.

The rest of that afternoon Elsa spent her time walking around the castle and reading Shakespeare just like she used to in her years of isolation. She was amazed how many notes and bookmarks Hans had written. She was quite impressed by his take on Shakespeares stories as it challenged her theory's and even her view on the stories.

She made herself to her guest room as she continued to read Shakespeare while laying down in her bed. Something caught her attention however. She started to realize that a lot of Hans notes weren't taken when he was an adult but started when he was a child. She was surprised, she thought she was the only one that read Shakespeare at such a young age.

Suddenly Elsa hears loud footsteps running up the stairs. She knew it was Anna. She was surprised to see that the sun was starting to go down. She didn't realize how long she has been reading. She quickly sits up from bed and hides the book below the bed. She stands up as she waited for Anna to come in.

"Hi Elsa!" Says Anna as she opens the door and comes in as she tries to catch her breath.

"Hi. How was your adventure?" Says Elsa with a smile.

"Oh it was great. The Southern Isles is a little different from Arandelle but it's a good place." Says Anna as Kristoff and Olaf followed behind. Sven was taken to the horse stalls to sleep for the night. Suddenly King Soren, Queen Magdalia and his sons come inside the guest room.

"Good evening your majesty and your highness. Just wanted to wish you two a good night that way you both can get some rest." Says King Soren.

"Thank you your majesty." Says Elsa.

"We shall see you tomorrow morning." Says King Soren as he makes his way out with Queen Magdalia and their sons following them.

Suddenly Elsa calls for the King before he left the room.

"You're majesty?" Says Queen Elsa to the king before he leaves. He turns around. "I wish to see Prince Hans."

Just then all of his sons, his wife all look at each other surprised, almost shocked. The kings face become very suspicious and the room very intense and very silent. After several seconds King Soren in a very serious but calm tone says to Elsa.

"Queen Elsa, the punishment for Hans does not require you to see him. Whatever you choose to do with him will not matter to us. The death penalty would be fine as well." Says King Soren.

Elsa stares at the worried and nervous expression appear on the queens face. Elsa couldn't believe what she was hearing. Neither could Anna as the tension is the room grew. Elsa looks at the king and then says.

"In order for me to choose his punishment I must first speak to Hans alone. There are questions I need answers to." Says Elsa as she stood her ground.

The King stares at Elsa with a suspicious and serious face. A few seconds pass by.

"Very well." He turns around to his very large twin sons.

"Rudi, Runo. Take Queen Elsa to the dungeon to see Hans. Make sure nothing happens to her."

"Yes Father." The twins day together. He then turns to Elsa and gives a forceable and half smile "Good luck your majesty." Says King Soren.

Elsa nods her head with a serious face. She grabs her black hooded cape and ties it around her neck as she follows Rudi and Runo out the door. Anna runs to her sister.

"Elsa wait! You sure you don't need me to come?" Says Anna. Elsa smiles and grabs her sisters hand.

"I'll be fine Anna." Says Elsa.

She puts Anna's hands back down and begins to walk away. Anna with a worried face let's Elsa go as she walks down the stairs to castle doors. It was already night time. Rudi and Runo both grab two night lanterns.

"Follow us your majesty." Says Rudi. Elsa puts her black hoodie over her head so she isn't seen and follows Rudi and Runo.

They walked to the dungeon which was only about seven minutes away. The streets were quiet as everyone seemed to have gone to bed already. They reach a underground dungeon just next to the sandy beach where two guards are on patrol. Rudi and Runo ask the guards to open the dungeon for Queen Elsa. They begin to unlock the doors. Elsas heart begins to beat faster as she knows she is only steps away from seeing her killer.

The doors open, Rudi offers Elsa his night lantern. "It's dark down there your majesty." Says Rudi. Elsa takes the night lantern.

"Once you enter the dungeon, the doors will close. He is the second to last cell on the left. Please watch your step and if anything happens we will be here ready to open the doors again." Says Rudi.

Elsa nods in agreeance trying to remain her posture. She then takes a deep breath and enters the very dark dungeon. Rudi and Runo then slowly close the doors followed by a loud echo.

She slides the black hoodie from her face as it comes back down to her neck. She looks around her, the very old, cold and dark dungeon. She's surprised that the kings son would be in such a place like this. She closes her eyes and takes another deep breath and begins to walk down the steps. Loud echoes followed her every footstep even if she tried to remain as silent as she could. She passes various prison cells that were all empty with no one there. It seemed like the prison cells have been abandoned for hundreds of years. She can hear rats around her. She sees some of them in prison cells eating garbage.

As she continues to walk she realizes she is arriving closer and closer to the second to last prison cell on her left. Her heart beats faster. So fast that her hands begin to sweat. It was very dark and as she approaches she can see the figure of a man sitting on the floor with his back to her and his head looking down at the floor. She stops and she feels like her heart stops at the same time. She notices that none of these prison cells have locks. She doesn't know whether to just open the gate and come in or stay outside. She stares at the man still sitting on the floor with his back to her. She then says:

"Hans."

The man doesn't respond or move.

"Hans is that you?"

No answer.

She takes a deep breath and says "It's me, Queen Elsa Of Arandelle."

Suddenly the mans body flinches and his head rises. His body language becomes worrisome and nervous.

Elsa stares at the man knowing very well it's Hans. The one who tried to kill her.

"I've come because they've assigned me to choose your punishment .. and I have questions I need answers to. And you're the only one who can answer them."

Hans still with his head up doesn't answer but just shows a body language of fear.

"Hans answer me."

Hans says nothing.

Elsa closes her eyes in frustration "Hans I demand you answer me right now."

Still no answer.

Elsa begins to get frustrated. She opens the gate and enters Hans cell. She still only sees his figure since he still isn't near the light of the lantern.

"I have traveled here all the way from Arandelle. You're family gave me the right to choose your destiny. And now here I am before you! Now, I demand you to stand up, come into the light and answer me!"

The whole dungeon echoed as Elsa shouted.

A few seconds pass by and Hans stands up on his feet with his back still to Elsa. Chills run down Elsa's spine as she concentrates her eyes on Hans. Hans turns around and walks slowly towards the light. Elsas right hand clentches into a fist with a bright light coming out of her hand ready to attack with her ice powers if he tries anything. Then he steps into the light and he stands in front of Elsa face to face. Elsa's clentched fist goes away and she stares at Hans in shock.

Hans had an old ripped up blue shirt on that revealed his chest. He had worn out ripped pants on, old worn out boots He had bruises and scratches all over his arms, chest and face. His beard had grown out, his hair was long and wavy reaching to the middle of his neck. His body seemed more toned due to all the hard labor they put him through. He seemed a lot taller than what Elsa remembered.

Elsa was speechless and didn't know what to say at all. She couldn't believe that this was Hans. She notices his hands are in chains to his bed just as she was when he brought her back from the mountain. Elsa looks away to her side not knowing what to do and stares back and Hans. They make eye contact. His green eyes look in pain, almost exhausted.

Elsa tried to get herself together to ask something but she couldn't think of anything. Her attempted killer was right befor her eyes and she couldn't believe how he looked like. She never thought this day would come.

"Here I am." Says Hans. His voice and tone was deep and serious.

Elsa in shock asks "What happened to you??"

Hans replies with a snarky attitude "What do you expect, I'm locked in a dungeon as a criminal."

"Well that's your fault." Responds Elsa with attitude back.

Hans laughs with a snark as he starts to walk and look out the window. "I know. And everyone outside of this dungeon is terrified of me because I'm the monster who tried to kill the Queen of Arandelle and her sister the princess. All for the throne." He walks back to Elsa "Of course you already know that. Don't you?"

Elsa stands her ground and says to Hans "And was it worth it?"

Hans stares at Elsa and says "Of course not. I'm basically excommunicated from my family. And stripped not just as prince but even my family's name. Not like there's much difference in that anyways. Crime or not. I'm still the same to them. A monster. And to you as well I assume?"

Elsa stares at Hans for a few seconds "You're telling me your own family always hated you?"

"I know seems hard to believe right? That the very prince of the southern Isles could be hated by his own family. Well it's true. My whole life I've been treated like I'm a monster. Im sure you've already met all my brothers and I'm sure you probably assume they're princes of high standards. Gentlemen right? At least that's what they want you to believe."

"Why should I believe you? You lie about everything and you tried to hurt Anna." Says Elsa.

"So did you." Responds Hans

Elsa gasps at Hans comment. She couldn't believe he just said that but deep down inside she knew he was right. She looks at him in the eyes.

"Why did you save me from the mountain if your whole plan was to kill me? Why did you stop me from commiting a horrible mistake." Says Elsa.

Hans stares at Elsa and gives out a scoff. "You still don't get it don't you?"

"No I don't now explain." Says Elsa with firmness.

"My whole plan wasn't to kill you." Says Hans. Elsa's serious expression goes away at his words.

"I heard stories of a beautiful princess who's parents unfortunately passed away and who was soon to be coronated as the new Queen. Only thing was that she was very mysterious and private. And as thirteenth in line I had no chance in my kingdom or in any. So I thought maybe, just maybe I could convince my father to go to the kingdom of Arandelle and get to know the Queen .. well you know the rest of the story. Don't you?" Turned out her own sister was easier to talk to. If I wanted to I could have let you kill that guard and let you be shot at by the other. But deep down inside I had hope you'd at least reconsider and at least bring back summer. But you couldn't. And so maybe I could stage an accident or perhaps take your life to save summer. My pride overtook me, fearing I would return to my father as a failure. And I did what I thought I would never be capable of. And so, here we are." Says Hans.

Elsa stood there in silence. She took a deep breathe and says "That still doesn't excuse your actions."

"I know .. That is why I am requesting for you to take my fathers advise of the penalty death." Says Hans.

Elsa expression turns into shock that she just heard those words come out of Hans mouth.

"What??" Says Elsa.

"Death your majesty." Says Hans. The word itself gave her the chills. To think that she'd be responsible for a mans death only gave her grief, she thinks for a few seconds.

"No Hans. You're punishment will be something else instead." Says Elsa. Hans sits down in his bed and says to her.

"Please, just get it over with and put me to death already. I have no one and I'm a monster in peoples eyes. Might as well be death."

Elsa very bluntly tells Hans "No, as Queen I will not do that. Instead Hans my punishment to you will be ... that you will be set free."

Hans sits up with absolute shock. "What!?" Says Hans.

"You heard me. Tomorrow at noon you will be set free. I suggest you start thinking where you'll go." Says Elsa as she starts to walk away. Hans runs to her only to be held back by his chains.

"No, Queen Elsa please don't do this. I can't go back out there. They'll be terrified of me and I'll go from country to country being cast out. I don't have anyone! Queen Elsa!" Shouts Hans.

Elsa stops and turns around to Hans who was inside his cell and her outside. "Perhaps they will do that. Or perhaps, you can prove them wrong."

Hans stares at Elsa with worry.

"Goodbye Hans." Elsa starts to walk up the stairs.

"Queen Elsa ... I'm sorry." Says Hans with sadness.

Elsa stops. She stands there not knowing what to say. She puts her cape hoodie over her head again and she knocks on the door as the guards let her back outside. The doors shut close and Hans is left in the dark. He drops to his knees and begins to weep.
