Before you read this story, let me clear something first. Crystal is the current Queen of Icelandia while their mother is the former Queen and her father died in a war.
Chapter 2 Marie
*Past*
"I can't believe you five failed me." Princess Marie of Winterville said.
"B-but your highness, we killed the Princess. Isn't that worth something, l-like a half?" Jackson said.
"I wanted the Queen to be killed, not so much the Princess but it's the Queen I want. Besides what you did there, deserves a quarter of the bargain."
"Just a question, why do you want to kill her?"
"Since you asked Jackson," Marie spat. "She took the crown from me."
"Umm…how exactly?"
"I was supposed to be the one getting engaged not her but no, she just had to get in the way."
"Can't you just rule another kingdom?" Jackson asked.
"No, I always dreamed of ruling Arendelle since I was five but, she had to get in the way." Marie said.
"You just said that." David implied.
"Are you testing me David because," she pulled out her sword and pointed it towards his neck, "I know how to use a sword."
"N-no your highness."
"Oh, good because I thought for a moment there I had to use this sword on you. I would like for all of you to attack again tomorrow but the castle is on high alert. I wouldn't want to take the risk of you all telling them who sent you to do this. And I don't care if I have to wait for years upon years to strike because when the right time comes we'll get them and we'll get them good." Marie grinned and chuckled.
"Not to ruin the moment but how exactly did Queen…" Marie glared at Carl, "…I mean, how exactly did Idun got in the way?"
"I don't like telling the story but anyway it was 1812…"
*1812*
It was Princess Angie wedding day, she was getting married to King Chris of the Northern Isles. The wedding was in the Northern Isles chapel, after the ceremony everyone was in the ballroom for the party. Over by the dessert table was Princess Marie and Prince Agdar.
"So since you're going to be King soon, found anyone to be your Queen because all kingdoms need a heir to the throne."
"No, not yet but I'm sure I'll fine her soon." Agdar said.
"I'm sure the Queen you're looking for will be closer than your think. I'll go get us some lemonade, how that?" Marie asked and Agdar nodded. Agdar looked around and saw Angie walking towards him.
"Hi Angie."
"Hi Agdar, will you be alright with ruling the kingdom by yourself, now that I won't be there to help you out." Angie said.
"I'll be fine, you're saying it like I can't rule the kingdom on my own."
"Says the person who took in stray foxes."
"So, I was fifteen, father shouldn't've let me be in charge at that time." Agdar said.
"He only let you be in charge because I had to go on the trip with him and mother." Angie said.
"I had a wolf before all of this happened but he died."
"Oh, you mean Husky?" Agdar nodded.
"Chris needs you." Agdar said.
"What?"
"Chris is calling you." Angie turned around and saw Chris motioning her to come over.
"Well I got to go, bye brother."
"Bye Angie." Agdar took a step back, bouncing into somebody, knocking their crown off their head. He bent down to pick it up, the person did the same as well. They both touched the crown, Agdar looked up and was met with the most beautiful pair of blue eyes he's ever seen.
'He's so cute.' She thought. He took the crown from her without her even noticing. When she realized she was staring at him, she looked away and blushed. He lifted her head with his index finger so she could look at him. Using his other hand, he place the crown on her head and brushed a strand of hair behind her ears. He removed his finger.
"Hi." Agdar said.
"H-hi." She smiled.
"What's your name?"
"I-Idun, Princess Idun of Corona. Yours?"
"Prince Agdar of Arendelle. Well soon-to-be-King anyways."
"S-sorry." She bowed but Agdar stopped her.
"No need to do that with me."
"Oh okay, I'm guess Princess Angie is your sister?"
"Uh huh, want to go outside?"
"Yeah, let's go." They slipped out the door, not one of them knew Marie was watching them. Rage was building up inside of her. She looked around for them until she found them in the royal garden. She tried to hear what they were saying but all she heard was sister…agree…you…date…me. Then what she heard afterwards was clear to her ears.
"Sure, I don't mind taking you on a date and I would love to meet your sister." Agdar said.
"Why don't we meet her now?" Idun asked. "I don't mind bringing her here."
"Yeah that sounds great." He watched Idun walked out the garden. Marie walked up behind him.
"Hey Agdar." He jumped but relaxed when he saw the person.
"Marie, don't do that."
"Sorry, I just wanted to let you know that, I found the right girl to be your Queen."
"Who?" Agdar questioned.
"Me." Marie said with a smile on her face.
"I'm sorry, what?" Agdar was confused.
"I know you like, like me. So no need to hide it."
"No I don't like, like you. I just like you as a friend since that is what you are to me. I don't feel what I feel with Idun for you. I'm sorry." He heard Idun calling him on the other side of the garden. "I got to go." He walked over to them.
Marie didn't even realize when she dropped one of the glasses when he left. The other one, she tightened her grip on the glass until it shattered in her hand. Spilling the lemonade on the ground and on her dress. She opened her hand to reveal cuts which were bleeding, from the glass. She glared at Idun then to the cuts on her hand for a few seconds until she found the idea to kill her.
"And that's how she ruined my plans for having that kingdom." Marie said.
"Oh, so what do we do now?" Jackson asked.
"You five get back to training! Next time I sent you out to kill someone and you fail me, I wouldn't mind taking your life." The five of them gulped, nodded and ran out of the room.
"What was that all about?" Marie looked up and saw her first oldest sister, Clarice.
"Nothing of your concern, Clarice." She spat.
"Since I'm the Queen, I need to know." Clarice said.
"Well I don't want to tell nor need to tell you anything." Marie said.
"Fine just tell me, who is it about?"
"Not going to tell you." Clarice sighed and walked towards the door.
"Lunch is ready." Clarice walked out the door.
Idun was sleeping peacefully on her bed when Agdar waked her up. "Yes?"
"Look what they found." Idun sat up and rubbed her eyes and looked at what Agdar held in his hands.
"Is that Crystal's hairband?"
"Yes, they said that they found it the second time they went back to look. They said that she must be somewhere around here." Agdar said.
"Wherever Crystal is, I hope she's safe."
"Me too."
Crystal sat down on the floor in the library while Grace and Sophie played some of the books.
"Come and play Crystal. Sophie!" Grace yelled when Sophie knocked down her book fort. Sophie crawled over to Crystal and tried to hold her necklace. Crystal lifted her up onto her lap so that she could play with the necklace.
"No I have start all over again." After a few minutes of restacking her books, Grace was done. None of them noticed Smith walking up behind Grace. He picked her up earning a squeal in the process and rested her on his shoulder.
"What are you building here? A book cave?" Smith asked.
"No Papa, it's supposed to be a fort but I had to start all over because Sophie knocked it over." Grace said. Smith rested her back down on the floor and walked over to Crystal and Sophie. He sat down next to her.
"Hi there Sophie." Sophie tried to pull his mustache but failed instead she grabbed his hand and started playing with his wedding ring. After that she turned her attention back to the necklace.
"So Crystal, do you know how to play chess?"
"A little."
"Well how about I teach you how to play, then you play against me, how's that?" he ruffled her hair.
"Sounds fun but I think we should put Sophie back to bed."
"Why?"
"She's asleep." Smith took Sophie from Crystal.
"Well then, let's put her to bed then I'll teach you how to play chess." Smith said.
"Yay but be warned, I am a fast learner." Crystal walked towards the door with Smith.
"Grace, we're going to put your sister back in her crib alright?" Grace nodded and watched them leave. After they put Sophie in her crib, they went back in the library to practice some chess.
*Present*
Crystal sat on her bed reading a book and eating some chocolate while Grace sat on a chair doing the same, Crystal heard her name being yelled from down the hall. She hid the box of dark chocolates under her pillow. Sophie came barging in.
"Alright Crystal hand it over." Sophie said.
"Hand over what?"
"My box of dark chocolates. I knew you took it."
"No I didn't, I don't even like dark chocolate, you know that." Crystal said.
"Oh yeah." Sophie saw Grace eating a box of dark chocolate. "Hey Grace, where did you get that box of chocolate?"
"On the table in the dining room…wait, this is not yours, it's mine." Sophie walked over to her and took the box of chocolate from her.
"Now it's mine." Sophie ran out of the room.
"Sophie! Bring that back." Grace ran out after her. Once Crystal couldn't hear their footsteps, she took back out the box of dark chocolates and resumed eating it. Crystal hoped that Arendelle got the invite.
*Arendelle*
Elsa sat down in her study, reading all the letters from other kingdoms when the door opened. Anna, Agdar and Idun walked in and sat on the bed.
"Hey Elsa, what are you doing." Anna said.
"Reading letters." Elsa said.
"Sounds boring."
"Not really, I just got this letter from Icelandia stating that we're invited to the royal ball they are having." Elsa said.
"Who's the Queen? I don't like surprises." Anna said.
"Wait, I thought you like surprises." Elsa was confused.
"Yeah but this surprise could be a trap or something." Anna said.
"I guess but their names are here…somewhere. Found it, Princess Grace Jewel, Princess Sophie Jewel and I, Queen Crystal Winters-Jewel thanks you for coming." No one noticed when Idun perked up at that name.
"Wait she's married?" Anna asked.
"No, maybe that's how her name is." Elsa shrugged.
"Want to go and play with our pets?"
"Not now Anna, I'm kind of busy."
"Aww." Anna sighed.
"Go ahead and play with your sister Elsa, your father and I will read the rest of the letters for you." Idun said.
"Okay." Anna grabbed Elsa and dragged her out of the room. Idun took the invite off of the desk and looked at the name over and over.
"Something's off with this name. I just can't put my finger on it." Agdar walked up next to her and put his thumb finger over Jewel.
"Wait a minute, Crystal Winters-Jewel, take away the hyphen and Jewel you get Crystal Winters. It's Crystal, she's the Queen of Icelandia. She's alive after all, after all these years, she was in Icelandia." Idun was crying tears of joy as she hugged him. "Wait you knew?"
"Well when Elsa said the name, something came to me. The King and Queen of Icelandia has only two heirs to the throne."
"Well let's start packing." Idun ran out the room, Agdar trailing behind her and none of them knew Elsa and Anna were listening the whole time.
Five more reviews and another chapter comes up. Guess who makes an appearance in the next chapter.
