"So how did it go?" Elsa asked. She and her proud student sat in the dining-hall.
Maddie lifted her shoulder, "it wasn't to bad. But I think you should've told Anna about all this, she looked frightened when I told her."
"My sister doesn't know much about the kingdom and how to rule..."
"She would if you helped her." Maddie interrupted.
"You don't tell me what to do. Anna will never be queen and she's okay with that, she has a life to die for."
"But who is your heir to the throne then?"
Elsa was silent for a moment, she hadn't expected those questions. "Well." She said, "i think that would be Carolyn. She has the right blood. Or I need to have child of my own, which is very unlikely because I am not married."
Maddie nodded, "but why did I need to take over the kingdom? Coudn't you let Carolyn do that?"
Elsa shook her head, "no she can't, not yet. But I needed to see how good you control your powers. Being the leader of a country brings a lot of stress, right?"
Maddie nodded.
"And when you get stressed, even I need to find cover. Because your ice-beams take a life for their own."
Maddie nodded slowly, Elsa was right.
"But you succeeded, you could even get me a birthday gift!" Elsa's voice was filled with pride, while she looked at her student. It was clear that the seventeen year-old didn't share her pride. "What's wrong?" Elsa asked softly. "You've done great! You should be proud and happy."
Maddie nodded, "I know, but something is bothering me and I can't lay my finger on it."
"Does it have anything to do with your powers?"
Maddie shook her head, "no, it's something else. It's like something is coming."
"Do you think it's your father?" Elsa's face looked worried, while she laid a hand on Maddie's shoulder.
The girl lifted her shoulders. "It could be. I'm just a little worried."
"I understand. You can take the rest of the day of if you want."
Maddie nodded, "thanks Elsa." She walked slowly out of the hall to her room.
