Hey guys sorry for taking so long to post a chapter. I had a birthday party to plan and it was taking up a lot of my time.
Chapter 13
Hans felt truly powerful knowing that he held the fate of many people's lives in his hands. He had spent the last four months being treated like a dog and he wasn't about to let his brothers get away with it. He smiled as he imagined them contorted in pain, dying from seizures and begging the gods for mercy.
Hans wanted to attack as soon as possible but he knew that his brothers where to set sail in a few days in order to make a very long trip to the Kingdom of Corona. King Alexander took many men with him because he intended to establish a relationship with the king and queen that would eventually result in trading routes. The prince knew that if he attacked before it would seem very obvious and he would end up losing his head for treachery.
"I can wait all you want brothers. " Said Hans with a wicked smile.
Kristoff walked behind a palace horse with heavy manacles tied to his hands. One guard towed Sven who also wore a heavy chain and was reluctantly following. Lev was rushed to the palace to be examined by the physician while Linus walked chained behind Kristoff.
Once Kristoff reached his destination the guard threw him in the dungeon's cell.
"Why are you throwing me in jail?" "I demand to know!"
"You are in jail for the attempted murder of two men."
"What do you mean?" "They were attacking me!" said Kristoff
"Save it pig we all know the kind of man you are in fact I bet you were also the spy."
"Those are false accusations!"
"Whatever save it for the queen." Said the guard before blowing out the only source of light and leaving.
Kristoff sat in his cell feeling utterly defeated. Once he thought his life was finally turning around it got even worse. Not only had he lost his fiancée and his money now he lost his best friend. His heart broke at the thought of Sven shaking in a dirty stable somewhere waiting to be executed.
He had fallen asleep on the floor when all of a sudden he heard a knocking sound on his door. Before he could come to his senses the door flung open.
Kristoff's stomach tightened thinking that it was Anna but he soon realized it was somebody else. Johannes stood in his cell with only a torch to illuminate his pale face and bowl of bread for Kristoff.
"Hello." He said while handing Kristoff the bowl
"Who are you?" he strained his eyes while trying to make out the man's face with the little source of light he had.
"I am Johannes, Queen Elsa's squire."
"Hi I'm Kristoff."
"I heard that princess Anna's fiancée was being held captive for attempted murder and I wanted to see if it was true."
"We are no longer together but I am being held captive for no reason."
"I am so sorry to hear that."" I am sure that justice will be done." Said Johannes
The young man was about to leave when kristoff stopped him.
"Can you do me a favor?"
"What kind of favor?"
"Please make sure that princess Anna doesn't find out that I am here .I don't think this is the best thing for her to know in her condition"
"Oh you are talking about the baby; very well I will perform this task to the best of my abilities."
"Thank you."
Johannes gave Kristoff another smile before leaving and closing the door behind him.
Anna was in the ballroom with Gerda sorting out all the new dresses that she had bought to accommodate her belly.
"I really like this one." Said Gerda while showing Anna a beautiful teal colored dress.
"I like it." Said Anna who was a little distracted.
The princess didn't know why but she couldn't shake the bad feeling she had. She tried walking, reading and sewing but nothing seemed to work. Her anxiety only increased as her mind kept thinking about Kristoff.
"Anna dear is something Wrong?"
"Why?" she said while nervously tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
"You seem a bit distracted."
"I guess I'm just suffering from baby brain today"
"Don't worry as soon as that baby comes out you will get your figure back" said an optimistic Gerda
"Thanks Gerda" said Anna who was know wondering if her belly was getting to big while simultaneously worrying about Kristoff.
