Hey dears!
Wowie this has been stagnant for some time...I'm sorry for those that actually liked this...
It's back and it's better! I promise, I re-read the other chapters and some were cringy even for me...
Hope ya'll like this!
"Alright let me get this straight," I started as I pulled the over coat down across my chest. There was a stubborn crease I wanted to get rid of.
"I am supposed to be the Queen of this place and bring it to its former glory?" I asked as I gave up on the crease. My so called brother nodded and turned to the statues of the four founders of Eden.
"Okay first of, don't we need people for that? Second, don't we need money for that? And thirdly, I know nothing of running a Kingdom!" He turned to me with a coy smile.
"Do you honestly believe that I did not think of that dear sister?" I frowned and followed as he walked through what looked like a hidden gate. We passed by the huge hedge that blocked most of the view of the castle. It leads us into a court yard of some kind. In the middle there was a fountain. I blinked and looked around at a few men building up the structures.
"In the years we were searching for you we found some of the people that used to life here," I nodded looking around. People wore smiles and seemed friendly with one another. The structures were beautiful rivaling that of Arendelle's.
"But I still do not know how to rule a Kingdom," I whispered my heart thumping in my throat.
"No worries dear sister! I will teach you!" He smiled and I looked to Elsa as she rested a hand on my elbow.
"And I will help you," she said smiling kindly. In the corner of my eye I saw my supposed brother look between us as the queen and I stared at one another.
"Are you two courting?"
"What?"
"Excuse me?"
The queen and I looked to him, a blush covering each of our cheeks.
"Courting? Are you?" He asked again and we shook our heads.
"My apologies," he said giving a coy smile before taking us into the castle. It was beautiful, with vines creeping up the walls. It looked enchanted. It probably was. The air was lovely and calm. I could see why people were smiling as they worked. Like Arendelle castle the front section had a beautiful garden. The stone bricks of the castle had moss growing from it along with the vines. It looked much older than Arendelle castle and Corona castle. Once inside it reminded me of how the castles in Scotland look. There was a red carpet that leads to the throne room; it contrasted beautifully with the dark grey stones. Near the entrance to the throne room hung two beautiful tapestries with what I assume the crest of the Kingdom is. The red carpet lead up to stone stairs and light from a high window shone on the throne in the middle. It was a beautiful made of some sort of dark wood, the cushions the same red as the carpet. It was carved beautifully with all four seasons blending together. I walked up to it and didn't notice that the others had stopped walking. Once I reached the throne I stroked my fingers over the carvings a smile working its way onto my face. It felt good against my rough finger tips. Somehow the wood felt alive, it was warm and comforting. I heard a soft gasp and looked down to see vines start making their way up the wood laying perfectly with the ones carved into it. Small white flowers sprouted from the vines. It was beautiful. I felt tears prick at the corners of my eyes as I stroked my fingers over the soft cushions. It felt like velvet. My heart felt warm and I felt happy. I felt at home. I turned to see everyone smiling up to me. My cheeks burned at the attention and I made myself back down to them.
"See dear sister? This is where you belong," Autumn said and I couldn't deny it. Not anymore.
"I agree, it does feel like I'm home. What can I do?" I asked and he smiled brightly.
"Well the town is nearly re-built, so for now I'd say have Queen Elsa teach you what she can, I will see to your coronation preparations and the others will see to the town,"
"C…coronation?" I asked unsure. He nodded and I felt Elsa rest a hand on my back.
"Don't worry, it will be fine. I will teach you everything you should know," I relaxed and smiled to her.
"Thank you Elsa," I whispered.
"Now I think you two could go explore the castle while we set forth with our own duties," Autumn said and I nodded. Elsa and I set out to go and try to find the library.
Everything in the castle was breath taking. Elsa and I made our way upstairs eventually and I walked out onto a balcony. What I saw took my breath away. I could see the town from up here. The sun was setting beautifully cascading the place in a warm orange glow. There were obvious parts over grown by plants. A soft cool breeze caressed my skin and I felt Elsa join beside me.
"It truly is beautiful," she said and I looked to her, the way the last few rays of sunlight shone on her made her look radiant.
"Yes..." I said softly slowly turning my gaze back out.
"Beautiful," I whispered and let out a content sigh.
"Elsa…" I said after a few silent minutes. She gave a soft 'hmm' beside me and I looked to her. She seemed to be enjoying the breeze as well.
"Now that I'm going to be queen in my own right, is there a possibility," I was cut off by the clearing of a throat. We turned and looked to see the fake winter looking at us in distaste.
"Can I help you?"
Off a cliff?
"Dinner will be served in one hour," he said and walked away.
"We should finish our small tour and then head back," Elsa said and I nodded. We continued to look around and eventually stumbled onto the sleeping quarters. Maids were scurrying around cleaning and preparing rooms. I stopped one running past.
"Excuse me, could you show me our rooms?" The woman's eyes widened and she bowed.
"Forgive me your highness, I will show you right away," I frowned. It felt weird being called that. She showed me my room first. It was big and spacious. I even had a walk in closet. I never knew people could have so many cloths.
"Excuse me, but whose clothes are these?" I asked slightly confused. I could see Elsa giggle behind her hand.
"Well they are all yours your majesty,"
"Mine? But I just got here,"
"A few various sizes and styles were made in preparation," the maid said smiling. I looked around some.
"I don't wear dresses," I said and the maid's eyes widened.
"I am so sorry I will tell the tailor and have him start on some suits," she rushed out and I was too late to stop her.
"Now what do I do with all these cloths?" I pouted and Elsa walked to stand beside me.
"You can do anything you want with them," she said and I looked to her.
"I can give them to the maids?" I asked and she nodded.
"That's very generous of you," she smiled.
"I just made my own dresses so I've never needed them to make for me since The Great Thaw," she explained.
"I've always wondered that, wait does that mean I can make my own cloths?" I asked and she shrugged.
"Na, I don't understand my powers anyway. So I make a few plants grow, nothing special about that. Now controlling ice and snow that is real power," I smiled to her and she blushed slightly. We walked out my room and I stopped another maid.
"Excuse me, could you tell me where Queen Elsa's room is?" She nodded and took us to the one across from mine. Inside it was just about as big as mine. It was almost a mirror image. Elsa looked around and nodded she seemed satisfied.
"We should head to dinner," I said and we walked to the dining room. I was sad to not have been able to ask the Queen what I wanted. My courage had left me since the interruption. As we entered the dining room the others were already seated. The head of table where Elsa would usually sit was empty as well as a seat beside it to its right side. Elsa promptly sat on the smaller chair and I was left with the head of table. The chair was slightly larger and, all be it really comfortable, it felt weird being the center of attention. Once I was seated they started bringing the food.
"So dear sister, how do you find the castle?" Autumn asked smiling as always.
"It's beautiful Autumn," I said and he frowned then chuckled.
"Right I never did give you my name. I am Augustus of Eden," he smiled and I nodded.
"My wife Ciara, the other woman is Dana and the man is Jasper," he introduced everyone properly this time. It was fun using seasons, but we all had birth names. We ate in relative silence, all very hungry after being at sea so long.
"I meant to say sister, your coronation will be held in three days if all goes according to plan," I nearly spat out my soup. I coughed slightly as I had swallowed it to prevent myself from spewing it all over the table.
"That soon?" I asked and he nodded.
"Best to do it quickly before something happens," he said and I nodded, put off from my soup now.
"You'll be fine," Elsa smiled to me and I relaxed.
"I hope so, I don't want to screw up," I admitted.
"First thing tomorrow I will start teaching you alright?" Elsa said and I smiled nodded.
"I appreciate that thank you Elsa," I said and we then continued to eat.
After when I got to my room there was a maid waiting.
"Can I help you?" I asked and she gave a polite smile.
"Your bath is ready your majesty," she lead into my room and into a bathroom through a door to the side.
"Oh, my god yes, I have been dying for a good wash!" I cheered and started undressing. Soon I was soaking into the warm water as I came up to my shoulders. This was a big bath and it felt amazing! After relaxing for a good while, I sat up and was about to get something to wash with when another pair of hands snatched it away. I blinked and looked to see a different maid.
"Evening my queen I will be washing you this evening," I stared at her as I started to slowly cover myself.
"I can do it myself," I said slowly.
"Then allow me to do your hair," she smiled.
"I…I suppose," I said softly and as I washed myself she washed my hair. It was nice, but very uncomfortable. After I was done and dressed I walked over to Elsa's room and knocked on her door. She opened it and my breath caught in my throat.
Wow.
"How can I help you Eliza?" she said sweetly.
"Um is it common for a maid to wash you?" I asked hastily. I needed to know. Elsa's eyes widened slightly.
"In some kingdoms yes, I personally don't allow it. Anna sure seems to like it, I think more for the attention and talking," she giggled and I relaxed.
"Alright thank you, I was worried," I admitted and she smiled.
"Get some sleep, you've had a long day," she smiled and I nodded.
"Goodnight Queen Elsa."
"Goodnight Queen Elizabella," she said coyly and I blushed. She closed her door as I made my way to my room. It really was a long day. I slid into bed and got myself comfortable.
This bed is heaven!
Sleep came easy and it was amazing.
Few damn! Over 2000 words!
I hope this will satisfy ya'll.
