(👑)
Princess Elsa was standing on a balcony, while feeling the summer air. Gazing down at the lights, and seeing women wearing ball gowns while men wearing fancy outfits entering the castle's ballroom. Royalties and commoners were equal in her parents' kingdom, and it makes her happy, because she believes that their only difference is their statuses but can still get along. Because all of them are still human beings.
"Your highness?" A voice behind Elsa asked, she turned around to see her loyal servant, Gerda.
"What is the matter, Gerda?" She asked.
"His Highness has sent me here to tell you that the ball will begin shortly."
She nodded and smiled at Gerda, "Tell my father that I will be at the ballroom hall, waiting."
Gerda returned Elsa's smile, "Yes, you're highness." And bowed her head before leaving. She sighed to herself when her servant was out of earshot, and started making her way downstairs to the ballroom.
Shortly, she arrived at the ballroom hall. Everyone who saw her greeted her, bowing their heads down as they see the eldest daughter of Arendelle's royal family, Elsa kindly returns their greetings with a smile and a simple yet regal curtsey.
Everyone was interrupted by an orotund voice, "King Adgar and Queen Idun of Arendelle!" Everyone applauded, while Elsa made her way near the high platform where his father stood, "Princess Elsa of Arendelle!"
She gracefully walked up to the platform, holding a regal air as she stopped and faced everyone with a small smile. "Princess Anna of Arendelle!"
The applauses goes on until Elsa felt her little sister nearly beside her, his father stood up, "Let the festivities begin!" The applauds got louder as the music began to play. While her parents sat on their thrones while happily observing their guests, she and Anna talked for awhile, asking each other why aren't they dancing.
While they were talking, they were politely interrupted by Kristoff, her little sister's beau, and the prince of Balmaceda. He asked Elsa if he could take Anna to dance, she just giggled at him and nodded. And there she was, idly standing with no one, except for her parents that was so indulged in seeing their people happy that they didn't noticed her.
She was staring at the ground when someone came up to her, she looked up to who it was, and she was surprised whilst happy to see one of her close friends, the prince of Berkshire, Herrick Haddock III.
"Good evening, your highness." He said as he bowed his head, she curtsied and greeted him back. "May I dance with you, milady?" He said as he held out his hand to her while smiling,
She smiled back, "Yes. Yes, you may." And gently held his hand as they made their way to the ballroom floor, when they were out of sight from her parents, they laughed while dancing.
"How have you been, Elsa?"
"Ah, I'm fine, Hiccup. How about you, are you Astrid's lover now?" She smirked as she saw him blushing in embarrassment from the mention of his nickname and his secret loved one.
"W-well... yes." He stuttered, face flushed red from embarrassment.
"Hah! I knew you had it in you!" She laughed.
"Oh, come on! Really, Elsa, you too?" He gave her a playful glare, then his face turned like he remembered what he was there for, "Oh, I remember something. I didn't ask you to dance with me just to tell you that, my best friend asked me to ask you to dance with him."
"Wait, wha-"
"Hiccup, my friend! Cheating on Astrid, I see." Elsa stopped dancing and turned around to where the voice came from, and she was stunned.
She came to see a silver white-haired man wearing a simple yet unique outfit, pale skin, deep blue eyes and pearly white teeth. She was shocked, because he looked almost exactly like her, because she thought that she was different. The only thing she knew until she saw this man was she's the only person- besides her mother -in the kingdom who has pale skin, but she was wrong.
"Princess Elsa," He bowed, she curtsied back, and then he lifted his head to smile at her, she smiled back. They were looking at each other with bright smiles, and heartwarming stares. Taking this as a chance to escape, Hiccup quickly left them and made his way. Snapping theirselves out, the man in front of her cleared his throat and held out his hand.
"May I have a dance with you, your royal highness?"
She nodded with a smile, "Yes, you may."
They held each other's hand, while Elsa's free hand placed it on his shoulder, and his on her waist. They began to dance, following the beat of the music.
They stare at each other's eyes, smiling and dancing. While they were at it, Elsa asked him, "What is your name, young man?"
"My name is Jack Frost, your royal highness, but please call me Jack. There is no need for formalities, your highness, I'm just a mere commoner."
Elsa's eyes slightly widened, but quickly regained her composure. She thought that this 'Jack' was a prince, well... he looked like one.
Waving the thoughts away, she smiled at him, "Well then, please call me Elsa."
Jack's face was expressed with horror, "B-but your highness! That would be rude of me, I'll be sent to the dungeons!"
Elsa chuckled a little, "Like you said, there is no need for formalities. And besides, I'll tell them that I ordered you to call me by my name."
Jack's expression softened, then he smiled, "Well... okay, you- Elsa. Do you want to explore the outskirts of the town?"
Elsa's eyes brightened up, she was going on an adventure. She nor Anna left the castle, because their parents wouldn't allow it. And Jack here, is giving her a chance to explore things that she could faintly see on her balcony.
"Yes, I would love to!"
Jack smiled more at her enthusiasm, "Well, let's go then!"
They smoothly sneaked off of the ball, and went to the town's outskirts. They talked and laughed as they wandered around, and... secretly fell in love with each other.
They settled down on a nearby lake, sitting down on grass while throwing pebbles. They talked for awhile, then he joked about something and both of them would laugh. Then Jack got serious enough that made Elsa worry, he spoke up with a pensive tone, "Elsa... I have to tell you something."
"What is it, Jack? Elsa's voice was full of concern.
Jack softly gazed on the lake and sighed, "Elsa, It-the first time I saw you on your 18th birthday celebration, I... I fell in love with you. It was my first time to see you, because I came from Berkshire, and I'm childhood friends with their prince, Herrick, but I call him Hiccup. I lived there for 17 years, then my family and I moved into Arendelle because my mother got accepted to be one of the castle's maids, and we lived."
Slacked jaw, Elsa's ice blue eyes widened with shock and amazement. This was the man Hiccup was talking about, she thought to herself.
"Then my mother told me that I should attend the 50th ball celebration of the kingdom, then Hiccup told me he would come to the ball, so I asked him if he could convince you to dance with me, but my nervousness was all over me and that's why I suddenly greeted Hiccup while the two of you were dancing. Since there was no other choice but to dance with you, I asked you, and you did dance with me. I asked you to come with me, you did come with me. And it made me fall... fall in love with you... more, since we're this close."
Jack sighed, he stood up and looked at her, "Come on, let me walk you back home."
Elsa stood up, bedazzled from his confession. They quietly walked back to the castle, and luckily, they were on time just before the ball ended. Jack stopped at the main entrance of the castle, she noticed this and stopped too, and turned around to face him.
Jack tiredly smiled at her, "It was nice meeting you, Princess Elsa. Good night." He waved his hand before turning his back to leave her, but before he could start walking, Elsa called out his name. He turned around to face her with a confused expression, she nervously gulped and gave him a stern gaze,
"Tomorrow, I want you to have an audience with my parents and confess your love for me in front of my sister, my parents, and me!"
Jack was shocked, he didn't even expected this. He thought that she was going to say that she doesn't want to see him again, but he was wrong, but this one was worse than he thought it would be.
"And if they accept your confession of your undying love for me, I'll be... I'll be yours! And if they don't, we'll... we'll runaway the next day by midafternoon, take me away with you!"
With that, she turned around and left him stunned. She ran to her room, face flushed from pure embarrassment. She locked her door and plopped down to her bed, and covered her face with her hands, then removed it and stared at the blue ceiling.
"I... I can't believe it. F-for just a few hours of companionship, I... I fell in love with him. And he... he fell in love with me... a long time ago."
She sat up straight and stared down at the carpeted floor, "And you, Elsa, made a death wish for him and yourself." She laid back on her bed, "What if he did come tomorrow, does that mean he truly loves me? That he would do it even if the odds are not in his favor? Oh gods."
She quickly stood up and unlocked the door before running down the stairs, ignoring the disbelieved stares of some servants passing by because they just saw their graceful and elegant princess running down the halls, and went to the ballroom hall. But before she could descend the stairs leading to the ballroom hall, she saw Kai halfway through.
"Kai!" She quickly descended halfway downstairs, dress' fabrics lifted above her ankles. She stopped when she was next to him, and she quickly exhaled. After regaining her breath, she looked at Kai's confused expression, "Kai, if my parents had an audience with a silver white-haired man with pale skin tomorrow, please call me at once."
Kai bowed, "Yes, your highness." He lifts his head to confusedly look at Elsa, "I don't mean to intrude on your privacy, your highness, but why is this you ask?"
Elsa quickly thought about it, "Uhm... Ah! He's a friend of mine, he's friends with Prince Herrick too."
Kai bowed again, "I will call you at once when he arrives, your highness. Have a good night, your highness."
Elsa smiled, "Thank you so much, Kai! Have a good night too!"
Kai replied with an appreciative nod and a smile, and with that, Elsa left. She walked back to her room, half of her wanting Jack to come, the other doesn't want. She saw Anna standing in front of her door, "Anna, what is it that you need?"
Anna turned around to see her, then she widely smiled, and whispered, "I saw you with that man!"
Elsa's eyes widened, then she lightly grasped the wrist of the young princess and opened her door and went into her bedroom.
She let go of her wrist, "I... I have to tell you something." Anna's face instantly flooded with concern,
"...What is it?"
Elsa went to her bed to sit down, Anna followed, "The man you saw was Jack, a... a commoner from this kingdom, but he knows Hiccup personally because they were childhood friends. The... the first time I laid my eyes on Jack, I... I immediately fell in love with him. We escaped the ball and explored the town's outskirts, then we settled on a nearby lake... and he confessed. He confessed his love... his love for me."
Anna happily gasped, "Elsa, that's wonderful! It's very rare to fall in love with someone who is in love with you back, you know."
Elsa sighed, "I know! But the thing is, I told him to have an audience with our parents... tomorrow."
Anna gasped again, but in a horrified way, "Elsa! You know that mother and father would be... damned... if they knew that you love him!"
"I know! That's why I'm just hoping for a miracle... so we could be together."
The strawberry-blonde princess sighed, then she smiled, "Well, if he makes you happy, Elsa, I accept him for you."
She smiled back at her little sister, "Thank you, Anna. I'll knock on your door if he has an audience with our parents, okay?" Anna nodded while the platinum-blonde princess smiled in reply.
"Now, go to your room and rest You must be exhausted from the ball."
The Arendelle princesses stood up, and hugged each other before the young one bid her good night and left. Elsa sighed to herself, then went to the bathroom to bathe for minutes. Wearing a night gown, she went to her bed and laid down. She closed her eyes, slowly falling asleep, praying that everything would be alright tomorrow.
(~)
Elsa woke up in midmorning, realizing that today was the day Jack would or would not come. She immediately went to the bathroom, bathed and dressed quickly enough to faintly hear Kai's voice through her bedroom door, she faintly shouted an okay.
When she was done fixing herself , she went outside and knocked on her sister's door, and surprisingly, she was ready too. Elsa's eyes blinked with franticness, "He's here." Anna nodded, then the two of them ran quickly, hoping they would arrive in time just before he speaks.
"You know, I can't believe that he came!" Elsa breathed as the two of them descended the stairs, Anna laughed,
"Well, it just proves that he truly loves you!" Anna breathed, while running down the halls to the audience room. They abruptly stopped in front of the audience's door, and breathed in and out.
They quickly regained their composure, and nodded to each other before regally and gracefully entering the audience room. There he was, head bowed while kneeling in front of their parents. He didn't even dare to look up at them, the princesses walked to the side of their parents' thrones and greeted them good morning, their father spoke up,
"My daughters, why are you two here?"
Elsa gave him a small smile, "We're here to see how things work out in the audience room."
King Adgar laughed, "Hah! Learning my way on how to do it, fantastic! Well, stand by my side, my princesses, as you witness how I do things in my way." By the tone of his voice, Elsa guessed that he was proud. She felt a wave of guilt wash all over her, but quickly brushed it as his father ordered Jack to rise.
Jack's deep blue eyes were blank, he needed to hold everything in. King Adgar spoke up, "What is the reason you wanted an audience, young man?"
Jack gulped nervously, "I... I want to confess, your majesty."
The king slightly leaned, interested in his confession, whilst the princesses' eyes widened, "What is your confession, young man?"
He inhaled deeply before speaking, "I... I am hopelessly... hopelessly in love with... with your eldest daughter, your majesty."
The king roared with laughter, not believing a word he said. Elsa looked at Jack with glossy eyes, holding back the tears. King Adgar calmed a little, still smiling
"You, in love with your kingdom's princess? Are you kidding me, boy?
"No, your majesty." Jack said with a serious tone.
With that, the king's expression darkened, then he spoke up, "Elsa, do you know who this man is?"
Elsa gulped nervously, "Yes, father."
"And you believe that he's in love with you and he'll win your hand?"
"...Yes, father."
"Are you... in love with him too?"
Elsa prayed to the gods, "...Yes, father."
King Adgar stood up, and Queen Idun placed a hand on his chest, gesturing him to stop, but it was no use, "You are not worthy of her! Guards, take him away!"
Elsa gasped, "Father, no!" She quickly ran to Jack, but before their hands could touch, she was pulled back by guards. Jack wasn't struggling anymore when she was pulled back, all he did was stare at her crying face, and looked away.
King Adgar faced Elsa, roaring with anger, "You ignorant girl! You know that you only fall in love with a prince, right?! What is this, falling in love with a villager?! I'm so ashamed of you, Elsa! When King Nicholas of Overland comes here tomorrow afternoon, I want you to be fully dressed, because I'll talk to him if he could help me arrange a marriage for you!"
Elsa wriggled her wrists free and ran back to her room, and cried so hard that she fell asleep, thinking about how she'll marry and live miserably if the one she loves isn't her husband.
(~)
Elsa woke up to the sound of birds chirping with puffy and red eyes, she looked out of the window. Noticing it was midmorning and remembering she was forced to meet the King of Overland by afternoon, she quickly went to the bathroom, bathed and dressed herself.
After she was done, there was a knock on the door, followed by a muffled voice, "Your highness, King North is outside."
Elsa walked in front of the door, hand on the door knob, "Is he with someone else?"
"Yes, your highness. One of his dignitaries, the dignitary's wife, and a prince."
She slowly opened the door, "A prince? Please tell them that I'll be with them in a minute, I'll just go and talk to Anna. Thank you, Kai."
Kai bowed and left, she knocked on Anna's door. The strawberry-blonde princess opened the door, and surprising her again, fully dressed.
"You want me to accompany you downstairs?"
Elsa chuckled, "Thank the gods for having a sister like you, yes. Because Kai said there was a prince with King North, but father told me that his son was lost."
Anna shrugged her shoulders, "Maybe King North found him while on the way here. Now, let's go. They're waiting for you." Elsa nodded back in reply, nervousness eating her away.
They arrived at the throne room, Elsa exhaled her nervousness away, and opened the thr throne room's doors. The first person she saw was... Jack. He was wearing a blue, royal military uniform, standing beside King North. Her eyes snapped to her parents, her father's eyes widened with shock, her mother's displaying awe and shock.
"King North," The two princesses curtsied,
"Ah, Princess Elsa! I believe that you have met my lost son, Prince Jack, eh?" He shoved Jack in front of her, she couldn't hold back her smile for this wondrous miracle that happened, Jack smiled at her and bowed,
"Princess Elsa, pleasure to meet you again."
Elsa's smile widened more, and she curtsied, "The pleasure is all mine, Prince Jack."
Jack then bowed in front of King Adgar and Queen Idun, then he stood up straight, "Your majesties, may I have the hand of your eldest daughter, Princess Elsa?"
Queen Idun's smile widened, she nodded vigorously. King Adgar, who was taken aback from the sudden revelation, regained his posture and nodded, "Take care of her, Prince Jack. And please... forgive me for what I have done yesterday."
Jack just smiled, and turned around to face Elsa, who was smiling while crying happy tears. She ran towards him, he caught her and lifted her off the ground, then he settled her down and leaned his forehead to hers.
Jack whispered, "You'll marry me, right, Elsa?"
Elsa giggled, "Yes, of course, you idiot. I was losing my faith in you, because I got tired of waiting, but a miracle has happened to the both of us."
Jack chuckled, he pulls away and looked at her lovingly, "And you'll never have to be alone again, Elsa. Now, tomorrow go pick out your white dress."
She looked back at him with happiness on her eyes and lips,
"You know, I don't believe that love stories have happy endings. But now, I do."
