A short chapter for Elsa.
Enjoy!
"Your majesty, can I offer you an apple? Fresh picked!" The local farmer holds out a bright red apple.
"I would love one, thank you!" Elsa takes the apple graciously. She was happy that she now had the opportunity to go outside the palace gates and meet all of her subjects. They were all so kind and generous. They all looked up to her with admiration, she hoped she could live up to their expectations. Adjustments, it's all about adjusting.
"Your majesty! I have been searching for you all over!" Gerda approaches out of breath.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were looking for me. Please, walk with me." Elsa turns around, full attention on her servant. They begin walking back in the direction of the palace. The late afternoon sun had begun setting in the distance.
"Ma'am, for the ball tomorrow, the chef would like to know your choice for the menu. We also need to arrange your fitting for a new party gown. There is also the note of the prince from the Southern Isles. Would you like more guards placed on his watch?" Gerda spits out questions while counting them off on her fingers.
"I'll leave the chef to decide the menu, as long as there is chocolate in every course, otherwise I don't think Anna would approve. I already get on her nerves by asking he to dance with the Dukes of foreign kingdoms. I will have the fitting before dinner in say, about an hour? As for the prince, keep an eye on him, but I don't think he should be too much of a problem if he is any more mature than his youngest brother." Elsa replies with a scowl.
"Yes your highness."
"Oh, and have you seen Anna? I wanted to talk to her about something very important." Elsa examines her surroundings for a possible sign of her sister. Anna always loved to explore outside the gates. She just couldn't get enough of the kingdom.
"I'm sorry, no miss. The dining hall was empty when I checked about an half an hour ago. If you will excuse me." Gerda bows.
"Of course, thank you Gerda." Elsa says before her servant retreats back into the palace. I wonder where she ran off to?
As I said, a short chapter for the Queen. She deserves a bit of the limelight too!
Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for more Kristoff and Anna, don't worry, we'll get there!
