My Name Chapter 5: When I Was Your Man
.
Hey everybody! This chapter will focus on Hans, and what he wasthinking when he betrayed Anna to become king, and the events that followed afterwards. On with the chapter!
.
My name is Hans, and I am the hero of the land.
Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
Going to Arendelle wasn't my choice if you can believe that, my oldest brother demanded that all unmarried siblings search the lands for any queens-to-be and woo them, thus spreading the influence of the Southern Isles to the rest of the known world. I just happened to be shipped to Arendelle to garner the affections of Princess Elsa.
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
'Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
It was quite a peaceful night when I arrived. I stayed in the highest class of inn in the kingdom of course, those lower establishments were for slaves and peasants, much too dirty and disgusting for someone such as I.
While I was there, I overheard multiple conversations taking place in the inn's main tavern, including one in particular that immediately caught my interest; the queen-to-be had a younger sister, Princess Anna. Also hearing that apparently the queen was reserved and cold-hearted, a plan immediately began to form in my
It all just sounds like oooooh…
My name is Hans, and I am the master of getting what I want from women.
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should've bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should've gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man
The next day, after meeting this mysterious younger sister and seducing her, quite easily I might add, I decided to run along with my plan; this girl was desperate for someone to love, and I was going to give that to her, at least until her damnable sister was dead. Once that was done, this kingdom would be mine and the Southern Isles could control one of the richest provinces in the known world.
But that all had to go wrong didn't it? Her wench of an elder sister refused to provide us her blessing for marriage, and to add to that, it turns out she was a sorceress, freezing what would soon be my kingdom under a thick layer of ice and snow. I wasn't worried though...
My name is Hans, and I am the future king of Arendelle.
However, something began to occur that even I was not counting on. I began to see Anna in a different light as Elsa ran, and I couldn't tear my gaze away from her as she rode away from the kingdom in search of her sister... No! I couldn't fall in love!
My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, ohh…
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes
Thankfully my men and I were able to apprehend the snow queen in her ice palace upon the peak of the northern mountain and bring her back to Arendelle to be executed, although I had to knock her out a few times during the journey. Not that I minded.
My name is Hans, and I am the slayer of evil.
Then I made the biggest mistake of my life. Anna was brought back to the castle, and her heart was freezing thanks to her sisters unholy powers. The only thing that could bring her back was a true loves kiss, and like a fool, instead of going with my heart, I instead sided with my allegiance with the Southern Isles. I told her of my plan and against every screaming fiber of my being, left her to die alone in that room to go and claim control of the kingdom.
It all just sounds like oooooh…
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should've bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should've gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Why? Why hadn't I just decided to stay with her?... She would have gladly sided with the Southern Isles, especially if I had cured her and let my forces deal with Elsa. But instead, I was a fool and nearly a killer.
Take you to every party
'Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man
When I saw her step in front of my sword, my heart dropped. She had somehow escaped the room I had locked her in, and here she was, sacrificing her life for the sister.
The next thing I knew, I was pulling myself up on a floating ship, met by the angry gazes of 3 young adults, 1 reindeer, and a snowman. The burly blonde man made a move on me, but Anna stopped him, and it gave me a spark of hope; had Anna forgiven me, even after all I had done? No as it turns out; the woman I had come to realize that I loved had turned her back on me, like I had to her.
I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know
My name is Hans, and I am a monster.
I was taken back to the Southern Isles in shame, where I was kept in the castle dungeon for a month before finally being released and being allowed to return to my life as prince. That wasn't what I wanted. I wanted Anna, and I had her, but I threw her away...
I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
When he has the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Every day since has been spent attempting to convince my ruling older brother to send me back to Arendelle, to attempt to win Princess Anna's hand once again, however this was not for the purposes of the kingdom of the Southern Isles, but because I knew that Anna was the woman I wanted by my side, kingdom or no kingdom. Alas, it was not to be; my brother refused every time I made such request, even threatening to send me to the castle dungeon once again.
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
God, Anna was all I wanted now, and because of my greed I could never have her... No... I would get her back... Even if I have to return to Arendelle with an army as the ruler of the Southern Isles... Tonight my brothers will die...
Do all the things I should have done
My name is Hans, and I am the villain.
When I was your man
Who have you lost?...

No, that last part was not just crazy talk; that is what we call foreshadowing. ;) Hope you enjoyed the chapter! Until next time my minions!
