A Mysterious Prince

It had been an hour since the shockingly handsome prince had arrived. Elsa and Anna timidly introduced him to the castle and asked how he knew all about their story. He told them as he sat on one of the plush chairs in Elsa's study.

'Yes, from where I come from, everyone knows your intriguing story. Although it would be wonderful to hear it told from the Queen herself' Prince Alexanjro said as he smiled at Elsa.

'O-of course' she stammered as her heart melted.

Anna giggled and started telling him their story. He listened intently as Elsa and Anna took turns recalling their adventure. Although the memory was slightly painful for them both, Prince Alexanjro's heart-melting smiles distracted them enough to continue on. When they finished speaking, the tea was cold and the sun was setting.

'Oh! I didn't realise how late it was' said Elsa as she peered out the window. 'We must find the prince somewhere to stay'.

'Please, call me Alexanjro. Thank you for your kind offer, but if it is inconvenient for you, I shall stay on my ship' said Alexanjro.

'No, please, you must have travelled far and it will be my pleasure to offer you a room in our castle', Elsa said quickly. 'We shall celebrate by having a grand dinner in the dining room and hosting a ball tomorrow night. All the kings, queens, princes and princesses close to Arendelle are invited. Please send them a message', Elsa told a nearby guard. 'I will see you for dinner tonight at six o'clock in the dining hall tonight, I will show you where it is now'.

So Alexanjro followed a hurried Elsa- with Anna trailing behind- as she walked towards the hall. He was admiring her beauty and grace so intently that he almost crashed into her as she abruptly stopped.

'Here is the dining room' said Elsa as she opened a huge set of doors. 'I will see you here soon, your ship is welcome to stay as long as you will like it to in our harbour. Thank you for the most pleasant day, Alexanjro'.

'It is my pleasure', Alexanjro replied before he took a small bow and strode away.

'Phew' sighed Elsa as he exited the hallway.

'Did you see his eyes? They were the beautifullest shade of brown I've ever seen. Oops, not beautifullest, like most beautiful, not fullest' Anna said with fits of giggling.

'Yes, he was quite exquisite, but we've barely met him, Anna. Anyway, I must go get changed into something more formal for dinner' said Elsa.

'I bet you want to impress him. I don't blame you. You can do whatever you like, I've got Kristoff already' said Anna cheekily.

'ANNA! I do not fancy him!'

'You so do'

'DO NOT!'

Suddenly, a pair of strong hands held Anna's waist and swung her around.

'Kristoff!' Anna exclaimed.

Anna laughed with Kristoff as he gently set her down.

'Evening, Elsa. I hear that you fancy the prince?' said Kristoff.

'Not you too', complained Elsa as she walked off, shaking her head.

She closed the door to her room and opened her closet. A row of beautiful dresses sparked back at her. The one that caught her eye was the one she made from ice. Strangely, her powers were so strong that the ice had now been changed into some kind of cool, silky fabric. She lifted it off its rack and admired the shimmering blue and white. She slipped it on and did her hair as it looked at her coronation. After she was ready, it was time for dinner, so she walked to the hall. That night, all the officials of Arendelle were there to meet the prince. Loud conversations and joyful laughing could be heard as she approached the doors. Two guards bowed as they pushed open the door.

'Thank you' Elsa said to the guards as she entered through the door.

The whole room went silent and bowed as Elsa walked through.

'Please, there is no need to bow, we're all equal' announced Elsa regally.

Everyone smiled as they straightened and resumed their conversations. A little later, everyone was seated in front of plates of pork, beef, vegetables and all kinds of delicious food.

Anna sat on the right of Elsa and Prince Alexanjro sat on her left. They chatted and ate and enjoyed themselves very much.

'So Alexanjro, where did you say you were from again?' asked Elsa.

'A beautiful place called Ignacio. I was born there and my family has ruled there for centuries' answered Alexanjro.

'Wow… So… Do you have lots of friends?' asked Anna.

'Of course I do. We do all sorts of fun things together and we really are just boys at heart' replied Alexanjro.

'Hmmm, what about girl friends? 'Anna asked shyly; in return, she got an elbow in the ribs from Elsa.

'No, how could I commit myself when I knew there were so many more women in the world and that one of them could be my soul mate?' said Alexanjro as he winked at Elsa.

Both sisters almost swooned but blushed deeply at his reply. The rest of the table watched in amusement as they continued talking. Soon, everyone was weary and needed to rest. Dinner was officially over and the guests were leaving. Elsa stood by the door thanking the guests for coming. Prince Alexanjro was one of the last to leave and as he walked by he whispered in Elsa's ear- 'I have a very strong feeling that you are the one that will end my search'.

Elsa blushed to the tips of her toes as she understood what he implied. This will be yet another intriguing journey, she thought. Yet I cannot wait for it to begin…
