Valkyrie at War 3:
After that night Anna spent several boring days filled with meetings until Elsa got a report that the raid on the forward operating base was successful with not a single friendly loss and only three enemies died due to injuries. Anna was standing next to Elsa at the dock as the Spirit of Anna was pulling in. Half of the prisoners were left at Kristinasund filling the prisons there and the rest and several very important prisoners came to Arendelle. Neither Elsa nor Anna knew what a very important prisoner was. Admiral Regar was the first at the rail and started down the gang plank fallowed by several Arendelle soldiers and in between them was a red haired bearded man that looked a little like,
"No it can't be" Anna said out loud when the thought came to her.
"What" Elsa asked as Admiral Regar walked up and bowed deeply to Elsa and then to Anna.
"Your Majesty. May I present Prince Karl of the Southern Isles Admiral of the fleet that attacked Arendelle" the man was surrounded by guards then bowed to Elsa and then again to Anna just as Regar did.
"Queen Elsa I have surrendered what is left of the fleet from the Southern Isles left in your territory" Karl spoke with his eyes to the ground. His hands were tied with a silken cord instead of rope or chain. Karl was a little shorter then Hans was but you could tell he was older do to the wrinkles and full beard on his face. Karl then moved to the side and another man walked up with brown hair, eyes, a brown mustache that connected to his sideburns, he had bruises over every part of exposed skin and two black eyes. The man looked at Elsa with disgust and only slightly bowed to her before Admiral Regar said
"General Kurt of Weselton first cousin of the Duke of Weselton" Kurt however was bound with rope and doubled over probably because the man was huge in every way. The bruises must have been caused by just trying to subdue a man his size and shape. The man said nothing to Elsa or Anna which got a glare from Admiral Regar.
"Anyone else of importance Admiral" Elsa asked.
"No my Queen" Regar replied. Guard Captain Rolo walked up next to the Admiral and started to accept the prisoner exchange. Elsa turned to Rolo
"Put Prince Karl in a guest bedroom in the castle. He is to be under guard at all times and is unable to leave his room. General Kurt will how ever be sent to the prison same with the rest of the men. Admiral Regar once you are finished I would like you to meet us in the Library and have Major Chorak and Admiral Westerguard come as well" Elsa gave Kurt an icy glare before turning and headed over to Kai to get on her horse. Guard Captain Rolo bowed and then started to have men separated into groups. Anna fallowed after Elsa and when they both were mounted Anna turned and asked
"Why was Prince Karl bound with silk instead of rope"?
"Because he surrendered and he is a prince. It is expected that if a royal surrenders they will be treated better than a commoner. General Kurt however did not surrender nor acted like a royal so he won't be treated as such" Elsa explained quietly as they rode back up to the castle. Once Elsa and Anna were back in the castle they both headed to the library to wait for the Admirals and Major. There was always work to be done so they both started to do paper work while they waited. Before too long though all three men entered and bowed to Elsa and Anna.
"Admiral how long should we wait before we move on Weselton" Elsa asked
"Give us three days to resupply the Spirit of Anna and the frigates and for the army" Admiral Regar said plainly
"The army will be ready in the same time I will just switch out the injured and the ones that got overly sea sick for fresher men" Major Chorak said flatly.
"Your Majesty please allow me to lead the fleet against Weselton, in order to redeem myself" Admiral Westerguard asked quietly. Elsa looked at Westerguard with a little pity in her eyes and said
"Admiral you don't have to redeem yourself to anyone in this room. I want you to stay and protect
Arendelle and my sister while I am at the peace summit".
"Actually if I may speak your Majesty" Anna started and Elsa looked at her with shock, but then nodded.
"I think it might be better if you were to stay in Arendelle" Anna then leaned over the map. "Weselton is now famous for their deception and sneak attacks. Arendelle would be a tempting target for Weselton if they know you are a week away in a peace summit. The first time they waited until you were gone practicing. Now they will know for a fact that you won't come back suddenly without warning. That is why I think you should send me as your and Arendelle's speaker. That way both fronts are protected and hopefully my reputation will out way my age" Anna pointed at the map the whole time she spoke.
Elsa just stood looking from Anna to the map and back before asking "I want other opinions".
Elsa first looked to Admiral Regar "The Highnesses idea is sound your Majesty. It would ensure that any sneak attack would be difficult knowing that you can freeze any fleet before reaching Arendelle. But Weselton is in no shape to continue this war. A ground war they could continue fighting but they have no navy to support the ground forces, I don't know if it is necessary".
"The Southern Isles would have to commit the entire rest of their navy to even attempt an attack on Arendelle now and I don't think they would leave themselves that vulnerable" Admiral Westerguard added.
Major Chorak stood in silence for a while looking to the map, Elsa and the Anna before finally saying "I think the thing we should be asking is not how can they attack us, but how can we prevent them from attacking Arendelle again. I would do as the Princess suggests so that we can make sure to be safe on all fronts".
Elsa thought for a while over the subject, several times Anna wanted to speak to make it easier on Elsa but then decided to just keep quite. "I don't see any flaw in this idea. Anna you are to go and ensure our interests. I'll speak to you more about it tomorrow. Gentlemen you are excused" Elsa finally said and Anna started to breath normally again she didn't even realize she was holding her breath.
