Anna and Hans were in the middle of a scrumptious breakfast when a very angry Gerda followed by a tearfully frightened Elsa stormed into the dining hall, immediately catching the attention of all the kitchen staff present. Gerda was furious. Even in her late fifties, she was just as fiery and intimidating as a younger version of herself, who had pushed through blizzards and braved enemies to save her friend Kai.
"King Hans!" She yelled. The unsuspecting king dropped his steaming cup of tea on the table at the sight of the two of them, paling. Anna stopped chewing her sandwich and stared in bewilderment between Elsa, Hans, and Gerda. The tea Hans spilled on the table soaked the tablecloth quickly.
"I just found Elsa locked up in the prison! What was she doing there?" Gerda demanded. "Was this another one of your power schemes?"
Hans opened and closed his mouth soundlessly like a fish.
"Elsa!" Anna yelped. "Aren't you on your trip?"
The queen shook her head in bewilderment. Caked mud that coated her neck and clothes broke off and littered the floor. No one could see, but the tiniest of ice particles were beginning to form under her feet and on the ceiling above her.
"Hans, you'd better explain this right now!" Anna stood up and demanded angrily.
"It's not what it looks like!" Hans yelled in his defense, spreading his arms.
"Then what? Explain!"
"I- I uhh..."
"You locked Elsa up so you could claim the throne, that's what you mean!" Anna snapped after a moment's hesitation, throwing her arms in the air. "You're just like your brothers said you were!"
Everyone in the hall was glaring at Hans now. The king was visibly sweating nervously as he looked from one face to the next. Anna angrily snatched up a pitcher of cold milk and dumped it on his head, making Hans yelp as the cold milk splashed all over his immaculate hair and suit. "HAH! Take that, you Hansy ginger side burned bastard! Guards, drag Hans to the prison."
Four guards quickly sprang into action and dragged Hans away, who's dripping ginger hair left a trail of milk behind him as he suddenly found his tongue and started yelling protests. Once he was gone, Anna ran up to Elsa but still refrained from touching her. "Are you okay, Elsa?" She asked tentatively.
"I-I have to go." Elsa, who had been watching wide eyed and silent the whole time, fled from the hall, her dirty blonde braid flopping on her torn dress and disappeared behind the door. The hall murmured in confusion at the queen's sudden exit. Anna, although also bewildered by Elsa's disinterest to punish Hans immediately set about telling the servants to clean up the mess as she marched down to the prisons to give Hans a piece of her angry mind.
After all that happened, Anna had Hans sent right back to the Southern Isles's to be punished by the king and made sure to rid of any staff or palace members related to there. Elsa regained control on the throne with Anna's help, but she was just as cold and rigid as the coronation, although she did relax and warm up to Anna eventually. Anna eventually let Hans back in the castle and she could tell he had really changed after that, realizing he didn't need to be the top ruler of a whole kingdom to find true happiness.
A short end of P#13. I have to admit I didn't work on this as hard, I should have just made it into a two shot instead, and I've been caught up in school and life and procrastinating on this for a while and just wanted to get it over with I'll try to update more frequently again and write you guy's requests!
