EXCHANGE OF OUR HEARTS
CHAPTER TWO
It was a bright sunny day, and the people in Arendelle were preparing for the royal princess's birthday. The royal family of DunBroch was cordially invited by the king and the queen of Arendelle. "Milady." Hiccup knocks on his milady's door. Merida yawns and stretches on her bed, "Five more minutes." Hiccup sighed and scratched his head, "We will be late. Please wake up." Merida stood up and opened the door. She left her room lethargically and went straight to the dining room. Hiccup followed her to the dining room, "Milady, is there something wrong?" Merida stopped walking and looked at him, "I'm just sleepy." She turned in front and continued to walk. "Good morning, Merida." Queen Elinor greeted her whilst sipping a cup of black tea. Merida sat beside her and yawned, "Morning, mother." The queen looked at her and asked her, "What's on your mind? Aren't you excited for the royal princess's birthday?" Merida pouted, "I'm excited; I'm just sleepy." Hiccup was called by the queen, "Come, Hiccup. Let's eat our breakfasts together." Hiccup gratefully accepted his Majesty's offer and sat beside Merida. He looked at Merida and ate his breakfast. "So, you excited, huh?" Merida asked Hiccup weakly whilst munching her food inside her mouth. Queen Elinor coughed for a bit, "Ehem, a princess does not talk when her mouth is full." Merida sighed and squinted. Hiccup smiled at her and took a bite of his croissant.
The royal family of DunBroch, including Hiccup, dressed themselves formally for the princess's birthday. Merida wears a dark teal cotton Medieval-style off-the-shoulder dress with long sleeves, gold trimmings and beadings floor-length skirt and taupe boots. "Oh, Merida, you look so beautiful." Queen Elinor complimented her daughter. "Give me a turn." She commanded. Merida turned around in front of a mirror and crossed her arms. "Smile, Merida. A princess always smiles." Merida sighed and smirked. "Milady." Hiccup knocks on the door. "Come in." Queen Elinor said. Hiccup opened the door slowly and was amazed when he saw Merida, "Milady, you look so gorgeous." Hiccup blushed a bit and smiled. The queen smiled along with him. Merida giggled, "Thank you. You also look great." Hiccup looked at himself and smiled, "Really, milady? Thank you." Hiccup wears his light-green tunic with a dark brown fur vest that matches with his dark brown boots. "Come on!" King Fergus banged the door. "Fergus!" The queen raised her voice and crossed her arms. "I'm sorry, my lass." The king apologised. "Shall we go?" Queen Elinor asked him. "Yes, my dearie." He answered. They left the castle and rode on a sailing boat. Hiccup held the oar and paddled.
"Your Majesty! The royal family of DunBroch is on their way!" One of the servants of Arendelle informed the king. "Give them a warm welcome." The king said. The servant rushed himself outside the castle and said, "Places everyone! The royal family of DunBroch is on their way!" The servants stood up steadily. The musicians prepared their trumpets, drums and other musical instruments. "The royal family of DunBroch has just arrived!" The guard raised his voiced. They welcomed the royal family of DunBroch. The musicians played their instruments. The king and the queen of Arendelle went outside the castle and gave them a warm welcome. King Fergus and Queen Elinor bowed their heads gently. "We brought our daughter with us. (Looks at Merida.) Merida, this is the king and the queen of Arendelle." Merida greeted them politely and bowed her head. "Who is that guy?" The king of Arendelle asked King Fergus. "Oh, that lad. His name is Hiccup. We adopted him during the war."
"I see. Please come in and feel at home." The king of Arendelle said. King Fergus and his family went inside the castle. The two princesses of Arendelle bowed their heads. "Princess Elsa of Arendelle, the eldest." Elsa, the platinum-blonde haired girl introduced herself in a formal manner. "My name is Anna!" Anna enthusiastically introduced herself to the royal family of DunBroch. Meet Anna, an eccentric and an optimistic princess who usually acts before she speaks. "Pleased to meet you two. Please meet my daughter, Merida. I hope you can get along with her. She is a nice lass." Queen Elinor presented her daughter. Merida hid her face beside Hiccup. "Come on, milady. Don't be afraid." Hiccup said. Merida showed her face and looked at the two sisters strangely. "Hi Merida!" Anna greeted her in a cheerful voice. "Come with us! Let's play!" Queen Elinor looked at Merida, "Come on, Merida. Play with your little friends. We will not leave you; don't worry. Hiccup will watch after you." Merida looked at her mother speechlessly. Hiccup reached out his hand, "Please take my hand, milady." Merida held Hiccup's hand and followed the two sisters.
They went inside a commodious room and played. "Do the magic, Elsa! Do the magic!" Anna said.
"Magic?" Merida asked.
"Yes!"
"What magic?"
Elsa filled the room with ice, frost and snow. Merida was amused, "Magnificent!" She clapped her hands and looked around with amazement. She looked at Hiccup, "Do you want to play with us?" Hiccup shook his head, "I'm just here to guide you, milady." Merida pulled his arms, "Come on! It's not yet winter in DunBroch!" The two sisters made a snowman and named it Olaf. "Hi, I'm Olaf and I like warm hugs." Elsa said. The three princesses giggled and laughed.
"Let's play a game!" Anna said.
"What game?" Merida questioned.
"Hide and seek!"
They play hide and seek; Elsa looks for Anna and Merida. When Elsa found Merida running around the room, she ran after her and accidently blasts her with her snow power, "Milady! Watch out!" Hiccup defended Merida and was hit by Elsa's accidental attack. Merida gasped and stopped running, "Hiccup!" The two sisters stopped playing and looked for Merida's parents. They informed King Fergus and Queen Elinor. "Oh my goodness. What happened?" The queen of Arendelle asked Elsa. "I-It was just an accident." Elsa started to cry.
They went inside the room filled with snow and looked for Merida. "Merida." Queen Elinor approached her. She saw her crying over Hiccup's frozen body. "Hiccup!" Merida bawled. Hiccup reached out his hand and touched his milady's face, "Are you alright, milady?" Merida cried over his hands, "I'm fine…" Hiccup smiled weakly, "I'm glad you're safe."
"Do something about this!" Merida looked at Elsa and raised her voice. "I'm so sorry…" Elsa looked down disappointedly whilst crying. Anna looked at Merida melancholically and patted her sister's back. "I know how to fix this." The king of Arendelle said, "Follow me." He added.
