Chapter Five: Not Pleasant At All

Elsa's POV

I open my eyes.

Another dreamless sleep. But I didn't really mind; having no dreams is better than having nightmares, in my opinion.

I turn around, expecting to see Jack right there beside me, still asleep.

But he isn't.

With a stab, I recall that Jack left only yesterday. I sigh, thinking it's for the best. It would be chaos if Jack was here, slowly discovering that I am getting married to Prince Leopold. I couldn't envision Jack's reaction for some reason.

It made me wonder if I actually know him. We've been in love for two years; I shouldn't be even comprehending the subject. Nevertheless, I had duties, and I will perform them.

I strip my night gown off and put on a creamy laced dress and put my tiara on. I presumed I didn't need to dress into some intricate attire, since it's more classes.

Nothing special.

I'm brushing my hair when four maids burst into my chambers with tons of silk, beads, jewels and seeing materials. "Wait what? What's going on?" I wonder aloud, gaping as the women get me to the front of the mirror and start to take measurements. They don't say a word as they work on what seems to be a dress for me. Soon, I'm being dressed into a sky-blue dress. I note that their silences were extremely disrespectful. "Apologies, miss." says a blonde haired maid, sewing crystal beads to my dress. "The King has ordered us to keep quiet." The others nodded, concentrating hard on their work.

I take a deep breath, annoyance simmering underneath my skin. My father gives such bothersome signs. I knew this meant something very exciting is going to happen. It's been quite a while since maids have clothed me, let alone into such an exquisite gown. The servants are certainly well-trained. They told me to close my eyes, to make it more exciting when I am revealed my transformation. In just a few short hours of vexatious standing, hair styling and applying maquillage, they convert me into a completely different person.

"You can open your eyes now, Your Highness."

I do.

And I'm left staring at myself in the mirror in shock, drinking in my reflection.

It's unbelievable. My bodice is covered in crystal jewels and the the bottom half is ruffled, dotted with blue sapphires and crystals. My hair is a heap of neat braids, not a strand of hair out of place. It's also shimmering because tiny jewels have been sprinkled all over. My lips are glossed with a light shade of cream pink and my eyelids are dabbed with a light tinge of blue. An elegant crown sat aptly on my head. I didn't have the words. I just didn't know how express my gratitude to those maids. Even if the dress feels insanely heavy. My eyes fill with tears.

"Thank y-" I start, but immediately halt because the girls have disappeared, leaving only a pair of light blue lace high heels in their wake. I slip them on. I realize my stomach is grumbling so I open the door. Instantly, there's a guard standing stiffly in front of me. "The King requests your presence at the Throne Room, Your Highness." he says gruffly, bowing down. I nod quickly and start to make my way there.

Maids and butlers are carrying trays of food down the gloomy hallways and since my stomach can't help it, I steal a roll or two. As I'm munching on the mini breakfast and trying to avoid the eerie paintings of stone-faced ancestors plastered on walls, unexpected fear coursed through me.

Was Father angry at my behavior yesterday at the meal?

Was he proposing yet another preposterous idea to help eradicate my magical abilities?

I gasp.

What if he found out my relationship with Jack?

I trying to banish the thought. My heart sped it's rhythmic beat and sweat started to form. The burdensome dress isn't helping at all. How can that happen? Jack is invisible. He can only be seen if he's believed in. I sighed inside, thinking of my father. If my father believes in magical rock trolls, than he can be convinced of anything.

I quickly expel these thoughts and worries because I'm entering the doors of the grand Throne Room.

And what I see is not pleasant.

Not pleasant at all.
