"Elsa?" Anna yelled trough the hallways. Not a sign of her older sister, then she saw Maddie walking with a pile of paperwork. "Maddie!" Anna yelled in her direction.
Maddie looked up in surprise, her white blonde hair hang loose over her back. "Yes, your majesty?"
"Quit the formalities, were is Elsa?"
Maddie lifted her shoulders, "I don't know. It is winter after all, maybe she's in the town square. Playing with the kids."
"Isn't that your job?" Anna asked curious.
Maddie nodded, "under normal circumstances it would be, but for my latest test I have to run the kingdom for a full week."
Anna looked surprised. "Whoa, not so fast. So your in control for the upcoming week? Why didn't Elsa discussed that with me?"
"Well it is not for the upcoming week." Maddie said nervous. "It was this week, tomorrow Elsa and I switch back."
"So you are the queen?"
"Yep Elsa had all sorts of contracts made, which made me queen. Really funny, because nobody knew, except the staff. Didn't you notice that nobody announced queen Elsa of Arendelle this week?"
"Well...now you say it, I never noticed. But she is in town?"
Maddie nodded, "yes or in her mighty castle chit-chatting with Marshmallow and Olaf."
"But that's so far away!" Anna felt tired by only thinking about the trip to the northern mountain.
"Or she's in the dining hall ready to hear my latest report." With those words and a big smile Maddie walked away, leaving a stunned Anna.
Those sneaky stinkers! Anna thought. Why didn't Elsa tell me? Anna wanted to follow Maddie and discuss this immediately with Elsa, but then she would disturb her sister. Which would be the fifth time in two weeks and Elsa had threaten to make a hail-cloud above Anna's head if she would irritate her again this week. So that was a no-go. She had to wait until those two witches were done with their stupid games. She started to walk to the courtyard, were Carolyn was riding on Sven's back. The mighty reindeer was retired from his ice delivery job, but was still able to take Carolyn on little trips. His replacement: Steff stood in front of his sled next to Kristoff watching Carolyn and Sven. Kristoff was the first to see his wife and started to walk towards her.
"There you are!" He said with a big smile and gave her a kiss on her forehead.
"Were you waiting for me?" Anna asked curious.
"Of course we have. We were going on a trip to the trolls, don't you remember?"
"That's right!" Anna said cheerfully. "I had forgotten, shall I ask Elsa and Maddie to join us?"
Kristoff slowly shook his head. "Anna those two are up to something and we all need some rest." Carolyn, Sven and Steff nodded.
"Yeah, that's alright." She smiled and hopped on Steff's sled and waited for Kristoff to ride. Carolyn turned Sven to the gate.
"Ready mom and dad?" She asked with a big smile. The trips to the trolls were her favourite, she loved all her dads nephews and nieces.
"We are ready." Kristoff said while riding Steff to the gates.
