Chapter 6: Flurry of choices
The two sisters followed Kai to the throne room with a quick pace. They wanted to give their guest a good first impression, and what better way than to be waiting in the throne room in anticipation for their arrival. Once they got there Elsa situated herself in front of the magnificent throne with Anna beside her, still trying to tame her unruly hair but failing miserably.
"Here let me help" Elsa giggled as Anna huffed in frustration with the uncooperative locks. The blonde slowly and gently ran her fingers through the strawberry-blonde's hair un-tangling the knots that she originally created, her hands stopping momentarily as they encountered bright red strands. The deep red streaks in Anna's hair were striking; the contrast between the pale colour of her natural hair and darker colours of the magic induced strands was stunning. Letting her fingers linger over the new addition, she pointed out, "I never noticed earlier, but I really like what's happened with your hair, now you look even more beautiful than before".
Once Elsa had smoothed her hair down, Anna turned back to face her sister smiling, "You really think so?".
Smiling in return, she slipped her hands into her sisters before kissing her on the nose, causing Anna to giggle, she whispered, "I know so".
Anna blushed, her smile spreading across her face until she was grinning like an idiot, who knew Elsa could be so romantic. She was about to say something in return, but it seemed the time for them to become the formal, intimidating members of royalty they were was upon them.
"Ahem, allow me to present, Prince Eldric of Northwind" A small, stocky man with dark brown hair announced as he gestured to the large double doors, which opened as he started to speak. They revealed a tall, slender man with hair so dark it was as black as the night and steely grey eyes that seemed to pierce right into your very soul. Dressed in earthy green garments that complimented his slightly tanned skin, he seemed to have a certain charisma about him which carried over into his voice.
"Queen Elsa, Princess Anna, it is a pleasure to finally meet you at last" Walking the short distance, he bowed in front of the two women showing his respect, then he stood up straight with his hands placed behind his back. He was trying to use his charm and looks to help win them over, but it wouldn't work on those two.
The Queen adopted a calm, serious nature before speaking, "As is the same with you, I trust you had a pleasant trip on your way here?".
He flashed a smiled, "Of course, it was rather long, but worth the wait to see two beautiful women such as yourselves".
Merely blinking at the response she continued, "Quite, well as it seems everything is in order, I would like to suggest we get started right away unless you wish to rest before we discuss matters further?".
Eldric shook his head, "No, I agree we should start as soon as possible, the sooner we come to an agreement the sooner both of our kingdoms will prosper".
Nodding her head, Elsa dropped her cold façade and smiled, "Well then, please allow my servant Kai to show you and your men to your rooms, then when you are ready he will bring you to my war room where we will discuss this matter properly, and hopefully come to some sort of agreement".
He nodded his understanding and bowed to the two women once more before flashing them another wide smile, after which he followed Kai through the side doors to be shown his room, with him men trailing along behind him. There were four in total, including the short, stocky man, there were two that were really tall, one with blonde hair, the other with brown hair, and a fourth man who was just slightly shorter than the Prince himself with dirty-blonde hair.
Once the men were out of earshot the two women relaxed.
"You handled that really well" Anna praised her sister with a smile.
Elsa sighed and smiled, "Thank you, although I feel I could have come across better than I did. I hope this works out well for us, I hate to admit it but ever since we stopped trading with Weselton income to the kingdom has dropped significantly" she frowned, "If we don't change that soon we are going to have a serious problem on our hands".
Anna pulled her sister into a close embrace, her hands rested on Elsa's slender hips, she smirked, "Well you better get going then, charm them with your gorgeous looks and bring home the bacon" she gave her a quick peck before turning her around and giving Elsa an encouraging smack on her rear.
Laughing at her sisters silly actions she made her way to the door but stopped when she reached the doorway, she turned back and with a nervous tone asked, "After this meeting we can do something together if you'd like to?.
Anna's heart swelled, the nervous look on Elsa's face was adorable, and the way she looked around trying not to make eye contact like a crushing school girl made Anna want to just scoop her up and cuddle her until she stopped being so cute.
Smiling she answered, "I'd love to Elsa".
Grinning in turn Elsa nodded, "Great, I'll see you later on then".
Anna winked, "I'll be waiting" then she made shooing motions, "Now go, be on your way you have a deal to make".
Elsa laughed and turned back to the hallway, she made her way up to the war room to wait. She knew it was now or never for Arendelle. She hoped she could get the better end of the deal.
It wasn't long before Eldric was escorted to the war room to join Elsa. The only other people present in the room were Kai and one of Eldric's men, this was to ensure that things went smoothly and so that there were witnesses to the agreement if one was made.
"Please, take a seat" Elsa gestured to the seats across the table from her.
Eldric took the seat without question, and the tall man that accompanied him took the seat next to him. He thanked her, "Most kind of you, now shall we get started?" he took the roll of papers that the man had been carrying and flattened them onto the table.
She nodded, "Yes, Lets".
Elsa also placed her own papers onto the table and the two royals started to discuss their offers. Talk of trading goods, safe passage, citizenship and a peace treaty were thrown back and forth as they tried to get the best deal for their kingdoms. Some things were agreed on straight away, others caused short arguments to take place until they came to a fair decision for both parties. The meeting went on for what seemed like hours until they both felt happy with what had been agreed so far.
"So Arendelle will put Northwind as the number one priority when it comes to trading, and in return all citizens of Arendelle are allowed safe passage to Northwind if they would ever wish to leave, and if Arendelle is ever attacked Northwind will do everything within its power to help protect it and vice versa" Elsa stated clearly so that Kai could transcribe easily.
Eldric nodded and added, "Northwind will also make sure fifty percent of all goods are traded to Arendelle only, and if ever the time comes when Arendelle needs aid, then Northwind won't hesitate to send help immediately and vice versa" finishing with a smile as he watched Kai finish writing down the treaty.
Kai then passed the pen to Elsa who signed at the bottom; she passed the pen to Eldric who copied her actions, signing his name under hers.
Elsa smiled, "I'm glad that's finally over, it took time but we got there in the end. Now I think it's time for a celebration in honour of yourself and the peace that now resides between our two kingdoms, there will be a ball later on this evening, but for now I suggest you go and get some rest from your trip now that you don't have to stress over the treaty anymore"
Eldric returned the gesture, a grin on his face, "I think that sounds like a marvellous plan, I be thee adieu" without warning he then held her hand up to his face, placing his lips onto her knuckles before letting go, "Until next time Queen Elsa" he then left swiftly, his servant in tow.
Elsa stood there shocked and speechless, un-able to move.
"See that, just like I said, a charmer. He thinks he can bed any woman who lays their eyes on him, well he's got another thing coming this time, I wouldn't want to see what Anna would do if she just saw that exchange" Kai expressed his thoughts as he scowled after the Prince.
Hearing that and being brought back to reality, she nodded her agreement then smiled, "Well he'll find out eventually. Thank you for all your help Kai, but I have somewhere to be now; can you see to it that everything is ready for the ball tonight please?".
Kai bowed, "Of course I can your majesty".
"Thank you Kai, I'll be back to make final checks just before it starts" she explained before exiting the room in a hurry. She had been successful in making a deal that will benefit her kingdom, now she had to go and tell Anna the good news.
Anna made her way back to the castle after her quick visit to the main square. She had grown tiresome of waiting for Elsa's meeting to end, so went in search of Kristoff only to remember he was on a delivery, so she ended up greeting the towns people as she passed by shops and stalls.
She gradually made her way to the courtyard and took a seat on the edge of the fountain situated in the middle. Resting her head in her hands she sighed thinking to herself, 'how much longer is Elsa going to be?' Anna was getting bored and all she wanted to do was spend time with her sister.
'It's pretty cold out here' she thought as she shivered and wrapped her arms around herself. She had almost forgotten that it was still winter in Arendelle considering the past couple of days. Then it hit her. How could she have forgotten such a big thing?
Laughing at her bad memory, she concentrated on her hands and in no time at all, they were heating up like a stove. She rubbed her arms and shoulders as you would to keep warm, except Anna didn't have to exert much effort into the task, her whole body warming up with the heat. She was quite proud of herself and wished that Elsa was there to see, but what she didn't know was the very girl in question was making her way over quietly to surprise her.
Elsa had spotted Anna from the window on the first floor as she was making her way to the stairs. As she got outside she thought it would be funny if she snuck up on Anna since she didn't know Elsa was there yet.
Walking over with stealth, she made her way to Anna until she was next to her; she then slipped her arms around her waist and exclaimed, "Surprise Anna".
The strawberry-blonde jumped in fright, and due to this shot little balls of fire from her hands which hit the ground in front of her. Luckily no one was around to see it, they didn't want to let anyone know yet for fear of Anna being shunned, also as she just demonstrated she didn't have much control over it.
"Whoa, careful! Sorry did I make you jump?" Elsa asked as Anna calmed down realising it was just her sister.
Anna cut of the energy supply to her hands, ensuring the same mistake wouldn't happen twice. She nodded her head, "Yeah but its ok don't worry, I'll get you back for it later" smirking she winked at Elsa, who blushed in response.
Anna couldn't help but laugh before taking her sister's hand into her own and pulling her along to walk beside her, she asked, "So I assume it went well then?".
Elsa was too distracted to understand what her sister was on about at first, her hand was so soft, it felt nice to just walk with her, they should really do this more often. "Huh, what? Oh right the meeting, yes it went very well! Arendelle now has nothing to worry about when it comes to income, and we now have an alliance with Northwind so if we ever get attacked they will help us".
"That's good to hear" Anna smiled, "So we can do anything I want?".
Laughing Elsa nodded, "Yes, we can do anything your little heart desires, just say the words and it will be so!" she swung their arms with enthusiasm, as she held her other arm out with exaggeration to go along with her silly answer.
Anna giggled, then asked, "Do you want to build a snowman?".
Elsa's heart melted from the adorableness in which Anna had asked the simple question, all her sister wanted to do was spend time with her even after all those years of closed doors, she could feel her love for the young woman growing with each passing second.
"Of course I want to build a snowman" she tried to put all of her love into the one sentence, showing Anna she understood her analogy.
However Anna merely giggled in response, "No Elsa, I mean do you actually want to build a snowman?".
Elsa was caught off guard and stuttered, "O-oh, well ok then if that's what you want to do".
A peck on the cheek brought her back to her senses, she saw Anna smiling at her, "Don't worry though, I understood what you were trying to say. Now let's go build that snowman!".
The Queen just laughed, what was she going to do with her? Not wasting any more time, she sent a burst of ice into the air around them, causing it to snow.
Anna squealed in excitement and cupped her sisters face bringing their lips together for a moment before saying, "Elsa you're the best you know that?!" she then ran away as quickly as she could shouting, "Now try and catch me!".
In a momentary daze she didn't hear what Anna had said until she was on the other side of the courtyard, smirking she ran after her sister. It was fair to say, they weren't going to be making many snowmen.
