Chapter Two

'Hans.'

'Hello Father.'

'I trust your journey went well?'

'It was fine, thank you.'

'Good.

'Why have you brought me back here?'

The King rubbed his head, and motioned for Hans to sit down.

'We must begin your training as a Prince.'

'That's it?'

'Well... There is one other reason.'

'Being?'

'I cannot tell you. First I must observe you, to see whether you are right for the task.'

'Hans you're stupid and worthless.'

'I am not!'

'Yeah, you are brother.'

'Albert, tell him I'm not!'

'Go easy on him Toby.'

'Hey! I didn't say that!'

'Ah well, you can't have everything your way lil' bro.'

'But let's face it, you'll never be any use. Anything you can do, we've all done before.' Toby gave his brother a nasty smirk.

'You'll see! One day I'll prove you wrong!'

His other brothers laughed. 'Course you will Hans, you'll be the little miracle of the world.'

'I will!'

'Sure.'

Hans huffed and left the room, one day he'd show them. He would do something they hadn't done. He would marry his Elsa, and he would become Queen. He'd show them.

Days passed, weeks even, and Hans had begun his training as a Prince. After months, he had learnt how to be a true gentleman, and once a year had passed, he was acting like a proper Prince.

'Son.'

'Yes, Father?'

'I have observed you, and I have come to the conclusion that you will be right for the task.'

'Which task?'

'When the Queen comes of age, and it is time for her Coronation, you will journey to Arendelle.'

Hans' heart leapt at the thought of seeing Elsa again.

'And then, you will marry her or her sister.'

'I will marry Elsa or her sister?'

'Listen Hans. You are thirteenth in line to this thrown. You will never be king. Ever. I have observed my other sons, as I have you, and I have decided that you will be the perfect gentleman to win over one of the Princesses. I will tell you more of this when the time approaches.'

'Summon Hans.'

A few moments later, Hans entered his fathers study, he was now an adult, at twenty-four.

'Father?'

'Hans. The time has come for you to learn more of what you must do.'

'Yes Father.'

'I have chosen you, but I will not hesitate to send someone else out, should you fail. You will do everything in your power to get either of the Princesses to fall for you. If it is the Queen, easy, you marry her. If it is the Princess, however, you must marry her, and then a few months later stage an 'accident' for the Queen. Therefore you and the Princess taking the thrown for yourselves. I am putting my faith in you, son. But if you should fail this simple task, we will disown you and send out Albert instead to carry out the task.'

Hans gulped silently. 'Yes Father.'

'Now you must pack, the Coronation is in a weeks time and you need to be on that boat this evening.'

Hans' time at the Southern Isles had changed him. Not only had he learnt to be a Prince, but he had learnt the cruel ways of his brothers. Always in his brothers shadows, Hans was determined to do something that would make him stand out, something that would make him special, not just the thirteenth brother.
