A/N: Dreadfully sorry for the long update. I've been incredibly busy with school and stuff. I hardly had any time to write this! Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Elsa POV

I groggily open my eyes, the first rays of sunlight streaming through the curtains. Sitting up in bed, I rack my brains trying to remember what was so important about yesterday. Ugh. I groan. It's too early.

Slowly getting out of bed, I rummage through my closet, searching for a suitable dress. What was so important about yesterday?

Kristoff came home, but that was two days ago.

Ice harvesting season is over. Exactly the reason why he came home.

The dinner with Prince Harald yesterday. Aha, that's it! I grab a dress, put it on, and braid my hair as quickly as possible.

Bursting out the door, I run down the stairs and skid to a halt in the dining room. Kai is already there. "Good morning, your majesty," he says. "You seem to be in a hurry today."

"Yes, I am," I reply, scarfing down the already laid-out breakfast in what I am sure is not a very queenly manner.

"Would you like anything else to eat, your majesty?" He asks, a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"No thank you, Kai, I think I'm good." I grab one last pastry and make my way back over to the stairs. "If you see Anna or Kristoff, please tell them I'm busy at the moment."

"Of course, your majesty." He bows slightly.

I bound up the stairs two at a time before realizing where I'm going and reversing direction as quick as possible.

As I sprint back through the dining room, Kai watches at me with a perplexed look on his face, shaking his head slightly.

"Sorry, Kai!" I call back at him. "Forgot where I was going!"

I did indeed forget: the prince's bedroom is in a separate wing from mine.

Anna POV

I run out my bedroom door. "Good morning, Gerda!" I call as she passes by.

"Good morning, Princess," she says back, smiling slightly.

"Have you seen Elsa today yet?" I ask. She's usually up before me.

"No, I'm afraid I have not, your majesty. Why don't you ask Kai?"

"I think I will. Thank you, Gerda!" I skip down the hall and slide down the stairs banister, landing in a heap on the floor. Laughing a little, I turn around and make to stand up.

"Need some help?" A voice behind me asks. I crane my head back.

"Hello, Kristoff," I say, grinning sheepishly. He chuckles a little before taking both my hands and pulling me to my feet effortlessly. "Thanks." I smile. "Let's go down to breakfast."

We walk to the dining room, and I remember to ask Kai. "Kai? Have you seen Elsa?"

"Yes, your majesty. She said to inform you that she is busy at the moment."

"Okayyyy..." I say, a little confused. "What is she busy with?"

"She did not tell me, your majesty." I look up at Kristoff, horror etched on my face.

"I bet she hired Prince Harald. She's probably talking to him right now."

He looks back at me, his face the same. "We did warn her..."

"Oh no. Oh no. Oh no!" I wheel around and run out of the dining room. "It's in this wing, remember?" I say, pointing. "Come on!"

"Anna, wait!" Kristoff starts sprinting after me. Despite my head start, he still catches up to me and puts a firm hand on my arm, stopping me.

"I know you don't like him, and I don't either. But that doesn't mean we should just butt in and interrupt it all. For all we know, she could be busy with incoming trade and nothing more. Just wait until she's done before confronting her."

I sigh. He's right. "Fine. But as soon as she shows her face, I am finding her and talking to her right away."

Elsa POV

I finally reach his door. Taking a deep breath, I knock once. Twice. Three times. "Prince Harald? It's the queen."

I hear some shuffling around, and a stormy grey eye peers out of the peep hole, only to disappear a second later.

"Come in, Queen Elsa."

I reach for the handle and slowly open the door. This bedroom is much like mine. Queen size bed, large window and long curtains. The prince's belongings are scattered around the room. A chessboard lies on the table. Jackets are draped off the dresser. A stack of books are on the nightstand. And the prince himself is sitting in the armchair.

"Are you going to come in, or are you just going to talk to me from the doorway?" He asks, smirking a little. I have not moved from the threshold.

I blush. "Sorry. Yes, I am going to come in." Walking over to the chair, I stop right in front of it and look down at him.

"We have information to discuss. It would be nice if you could meet me in my study."

"Of course, your majesty."

I make my way over towards the door. The prince starts to stand up.

"You go ahead," I say. "I need to make a slight detour."

"However, ladies first, of course," he says, smiling at me and holding open the door.

"Thank you."

Prince Harald starts to walk to my study. I watch him a little bit to make sure he is going in the right direction before heading towards the uniform storage closet.

I reach it, open the door, and rummage through the clothing a little bit.

Not that one, that's a chef uniform. No, that's much to small for him. That one looks just like Kai's, that will never do. Aha! I find the perfect uniform. Hopefully it will fit him.

Closing the door, I walk back down the hall, through the dining room, and down the east wing to my study.

The door is ajar, and I see the shadow of a human moving around in front of the bookshelves.

I walk inside. The Prince whirls around at the sound of my footsteps. "Ah, hello again, your majesty," he says, smiling.

"Please, take a seat," I says gesturing to the armchairs. "We have a lot to discuss."

He sits down, and I take the chair across from him. He stares at me expectantly, grey eyes meeting blue.

Suddenly he speaks. "You have beautiful eyes." Immediately he realizes what he said and blushes a deep scarlet. "Forgive me, your majesty."

"It's all right," I say, blushing a little as well. "But I might say the same to you." I gasp and cover my mouth. Why did I say that?

"Well," he says. "I guess we're even now." He leans forward. Our knees are almost touching.

I play with the folds of the uniform and clear my throat. "Our discussion."

"Right!" he says and sits back in his chair.

I take a deep breath. "I have decided to hire you."

A look of relief passes across his face. "Thank you, your majesty!"

I smile a little. "I realized that most kings and queens had an advisor, and I didn't. You seemed fit for the job, so I decided to make you my personal advisor."

"I can't thank you enough!" His face is full of happiness.

"I have acquired a uniform for you to try on," I say, handing it to him. He takes it and holds it out in front of him, examining it.

"It looks wonderful, you majesty. Thank you."

"I will go into the hallway while you change. When you are done, we can discuss your duties and rules."

He smiles. "Thank you, your majesty."

I walk out into the hall and close the door behind me. A minute or so later, he calls through the door. "I'm done."

I walk back inside. The uniform suits him well: navy blue jacket with gold buttons and sash, dark grey pants. "Does it fit?" I ask.

"Perfectly," he replies.

"All right. Please, take a seat again." I sit down in the same armchair. He follows suit.

"Now,when you are in this castle, you are to call me..." I list the regular castle rules, one by one.

"Of course, I have to give you your first job as advisor."

He nods. I smile a little. "This is a job that should happen on a regular basis. It will help you get to know the kingdom more, and it will help me know what changes to make."

I take a deep breath. "Your job is..."

Anna POV

Elsa still isn't done with her "business," so Kristoff and I decided to take a walk around town. Not much to see. Winter is just setting in, and it hasn't snowed yet.

Christmas decorations are already in store windows. Kids are playing in the streets. I wave to them. Kristoff looks shyly at everyone. He still isn't used to people. Yes, the town looks very much the same, except for...

A man in a navy blue jacket with a gold sash is wandering through the streets. That's standard castle uniform. His back is turned so I can't see his face. He is holding a piece of parchment and a quill.

"Doesn't that man over there look vaguely familiar to you?" I whisper to Kristoff.

"Which one?" He whispers back.

"The one in the navy blue," I reply. "That's standard castle uniform!"

A look of understanding suddenly passes over his face, and he starts to walk towards the man.

"Wait, Kristoff, where are you going?"

Kristoff POV

"The one in the navy blue," Anna whispers. "That's standard castle uniform!

I squint. Could it be?

I walk towards the man to get a better look.

"Wait, Kristoff, where are you going?" Anna grabs my arm.

"I think it's Prince Harald!" I hiss through my teeth. "I need to get a better look."

I continue walking and shake off her hand. Anna follows.

Finally we make it around to where we can see his face.

"It is him!" Anna says frantically. She gasps. "That must mean Elsa hired him! Oh no oh no oh no..."

"She shouldn't have done that! Didn't we warn her?" I whisper. Anna looks very frightened.

I turn my attention back to the prince. I look at what he is focusing on: the children playing in the streets. He seems to be taking notes on a piece of parchment.

"What could he be doing?" Anna whispers to me. I shrug.

The prince seems to be done with his notes. Stuffing the parchment in his pocket, he starts to turn around.

"He'll see us!" I say, grabbing Anna's arm and pulling her into a nearby alley.

The prince beings to make his way back to the castle. Anna gasps again.

"We need to make it to the castle before him! I need to talk to Elsa!"

And with that she breaks into a run. I sprint after her. Why did Elsa hire him? Can't she see he's not trustworthy? Why, why, why?

A/N: I'll try to get the next chapter up as soon as possible, seeing as I'm very busy at the moment. In the meantime, please read and review, thanks!
