CLONK-CLONK-CLONK

The cowbell rang through the air.

"Come children, let's take our seats now!"Said the Norwegian teacher as she held the door open as the children said goodbye to their parents who were seeing them off.

It was the first day of school. Nora would be starting the first time in her life. School in her home in the forest never existed. Good thing she'd be starting with Iduna since they managed to convince everyone they were in fact related after all even if that wasn't the case.

"Whoaaa." Said Amma as she pulled the reigns back of their family horse. They had been riding a small carriage made of wood that Nora's father constructed from his own hands. "All right girls let's get you off the carriage. We can't have you arrive to class late."

"Come on, Iduna." Said Nora as she jumped off the carriage.

Nora swallowed nervously as she rose to her feet and her purple skirt. She had one braided ponytail that hung in front of her right shoulder. She walked to the end where Amma was waiting with a smile and extended hands to help her down.

Nora stepped off the the carriage as Amma helped her down. "Okay girls. Now remember what we talked about?"

"Yes. Always be on our best manners." Repeated Nora.

"And?" Asked Amma.

"Avoid drawing attention to ourselves." Repeated Iduna.

"Annddd..."

"Always look out for each other." They repeated together.

Amma smiled as she leaned down and looked at Iduna. "How do you feel?"

"I'm nervous.." She said as she looked down to the floor and held her school supplies and books close to her chest.

"I know you are. But I also know what your capable of, Iduna. You're Norwegian has gotten so good. You'll understand the teachers just like we understand you. I know you'll do great." She said smiling at her.

Iduna looked up at her as she still smiled at her.

CLONK-CLONK-CLONK

"School is in session! Come children!" Exclaimed the teacher as she waved the cowbell again.

"Okay this is it girls. Mwah! Mwah!" Amma placed to kisses on each of their foreheads. "Go and have a great day!"

"Come on. We can do this." Said Nora as she extender her hand out for Iduna to take which she did.

"I'll be here waiting for you both after schools done. I promise!" Called out Amma as she waved the two of them farewell.

Iduna stopped at the door and looked inside where the rest of the children were. All of them were talking, whispering or even laughing with one another.

She took in a deep breath and entered.

Stockholm Dungeons, Sweden

Monday

January 23rd, 1844

BAM!

The dungeons doors barged open. The Southern Isles soldiers and a few Arendellian soldiers had broken the door with a battering ram made of steel.

Kaleb had been standing behind the soldiers as he waited for them to barge the doors open.

Keep your guard up!" Exclaimed Damien as the whole party approached the dungeons. They had entered Stockholm territory.

They're dungeons were secluded from the city and so there were no signs of peasants anywhere.

"Let's go! We only have five minutes till Lars sends reinforcements!" Exclaimed Kaleb as he led the way inside.

As soon as word got out that the Westergaard brothers arrived to the Stockholm, Lars made sure that the people went straight into their home or into evacuation. Even if the dungeons were far from the kingdom itself.

"We're in!" Exclaimed the soldier as they broke through the dungeon doors.

"Come on!" Shouted Franz as they all charged inside with lanterns and swords.

They inspected every single cell inside the large dungeon but could not find anything except shivering criminals. Some dead from the cold and some terrified. They even went to the largest cell where they assumed the missing soldiers were being kept but at last they found no one.

Kaleb furrowed his brows as he paced quickly through the cells once more. Refusing to believe that they had just gone through all of that for no one to be found.

"Umm.. Kaleb.." Said Franz to his brother who continued to pace around the cell trying to find them or find any trace of them. Or anything for that matter. "Kaleb-"

"WHAT!?" Exclaimed Kaleb angrily as he turned to face his brother. His loud voice echoed through the empty dungeon.

"They're gone, Kaleb." Sighed Franz.

Kaleb growled as he grabbed a bucket full of cold frozen water and threw it across the cell. A couple of Southern Isles soldiers ducked their heads just in time before it struck the wall and shattered.

He stormed past his brothers and his sister angrily before they followed behind him as he made his way back up to the outside before they marched back to camp.

For the past week the Arendellians and the Southern Isles soldiers had set camp just off beside the border and close to the river.

No outside intruders had any idea where they were since they had hidden themselves so well.

The soldiers who had been waiting in camp were eating dinner when they stood up quickly as they saw the crown prince return. Hans and Björn were am my then who were waiting.

Kaleb stormed past his two brothers. Still fuming with anger as he paced back and forth trying to understand why they weren't there.

"Let me guess, they're gone?" Said Hans suddenly as Kaleb turned to look at him with furrowed brows.

Hans was sitting down on a cut tree stump beneath a pitched tent and was eating the leg of a boiled chicken they captured from a Swedes farm with Björn sitting behind him also eating.

Kalebs brows furrowed when he saw how calmly Hans looked. Even Björn. He knew his brother knew something he didn't.

"You.." growled Kaleb angrily as he approached his younger brother. "You knew they'd be gone didn't you?

Everyone surrounded the two brothers as they waited for Hans to response.

"Of course I did." Nodded Hans as he took another bite of his of the chicken.

Immediately the large crowd of Southern Isles and Arendellian soldiers all murmured with one another. In complete disbelief at what they just heard Hans say.

"You knew.. and you didn't think to tell us!?" Shouted Erik angrily as he was about to charge at Hans but Björn quickly stepped in the way and pushed his brother back as everyone murmured again.

But Hans continued to eat his chicken leg unbothered as he stared at his older brothers.

Kaleb raised his hand in the air as everyone quickly ceased to murmur and shout. He approached Hans and sat across from him at another cut down tree stump.

"Why." Demanded Kaleb as he looked at Hans angrily.

"Are you all really that clueless? Don't you see. Lars moved the missing soldiers weeks ago. He's smart like that. He knew we were going to act." Said Hans.

"Then why didn't you say anything. Why not attack beforehand!" Shouted Jørgen.

"So he knows that we are here to talk... And not to fight." Replied Hans.

"Weren't you the one that wanted him dead?" Asked Rudi.

"That was before he outsmarted us and used a decoy to escape. Now we need to change our strategy." Retaliated Hans calmly.

"And you did that without consulting with me." Said Kaleb as he stared at his younger brother.

"I thought you would all agree." Deadpanned Hans as he took another sip of his ale.

"Why should you think that?" Argued Kaleb.

"Because it is a sensible policy. We've burned their provisions and have given him reason to speak with us." Said Hans.

"You should have discussed it with us." Sighed Hanna suddenly who was leaning her arm on the top of the tent. "Kaleb is right."

"I will try to remember that the next time, Princess Hanna." Mocked Hans with exaggerated widened eyes as Hanna stared at him with annoyance.

"There isn't going to be a next time, Hans, unless you agree you will never ever do anything again without consulting with me first." Threatened Kaleb as he leaned forward. "For you and I are not equals."

A tense silence filled the air as the two brothers stared at each other. Hans emerald eyes never left Kalebs blue ones as he for June's chewing on the meat.

"So now the soldiers are all missing. Care to explain your next plan genius?" Mocked Magnus.

"We wait." Shrugged Hans as he took another bite of the chicken leg.

"Wait? Wait for what!" Exclaimed Erik angrily. "For Lars and his men to wipe us out as with double the men!?" Shouted Erik angrily.

"No. We wait for the unexpected." Replied Hans calmly as he swallowed and took another bite of his chicken leg.

"Let me tell you what to expect, hmm?" Said Kaleb rising to his feet with the hand in his axe. "Lars will send some envoy to trick us, or he will send a army to annihilate us."

Kaleb drove the axe into the tree stump where he had been sitting at as he stared at Hans angrily before he turned around and began to pace.

"Kaleb it's your call. What do you want to do?" Said Franz approaching his older brother.

Kaleb sighed heavily as he stopped pacing and turned to Hans and the rest of the soldiers waiting for him to speak.

"I for one am not in agreement with my younger brothers plan. And I will not see it through." He declared.

Hans smirked and shook his head. "You're making a terrible mistake brother."

"No." Said Kaleb turning to his younger brother. "I'm doing what I know is right."

"What do we do then? Do you have any plans, prince Kaleb?" Asked Damien.

"We split up into two groups. There are only two reasonable kingdoms where Lars may have hid the missing soldiers." Said Kaleb.

"And what are they?" Asked Ivar with his arms crossed.

"The only two kingdoms Lars realistically trusts during these times. Upsalla and Corona." Answered Hans to their surprise as they all turned to look at him. "Trust me I've thought about this plan already."

"You're joking right Kaleb? You want us to go blindly into Germany looking for soldiers." Said Björn.

"Its better than sitting around and doing nothing, Björn. You and I know better than I do that Corona and Stockholm have not changed their policy of trade." Said Kaleb.

"That's exactly what Lars what's you to think. Going to Corona would be a complete waste of time and he'd only send soldiers to stop us." Argued Hans.

"AND GOING TO LARS WITHOUT ENOUGH MEN IS SUICIDE ITSELF!" Yelled Kaleb angrily as everyone stayed quiet.

Hans continued to stare at Kaleb with annoyance. He didn't bother saying anything else. He knew Kaleb wouldn't change his mind.

"Fine. Who will go where?" Sighed Hanna as she stepped in.

"Rudi and Runo are banned from entering Corona. They're probation does not end until another two years. Therefore I will send Lieutenant Damien Mattias with his men. Hanna. You and your shield maidens will go as well. I'm sure Cassandra still has some connections there." Said Kaleb.

"Umm. Wait hold on." Said Cassandra stepping forward. "I haven't been to Corona since I last left. And I left in not the best terms."

"Are you planning to get caught? I thought my sister trained her shield maidens to be prepared in situations like these." Retaliated Kaleb.

Cassandra gave Kaleb an annoyed look before adjusting her sword. "I prepared myself."

Kaleb turned to Hans and Björn. "And both of you shall join them as well. Especially you, Hans. Since this all your fault to begin with. You cannot be trusted."

"And so you trust me in another kingdom? How brilliant of you brother." Scoffed Hans as he rose to his feet and walked towards his sister and Damien.

"The rest of our brothers along side the Southern Isles will go to Uppsalla. If we are not successful in finding them then we will return and meet back with Franz and I as we wait for the remaining Arendellian and Southern Isles soldiers who are being shipped to us." Said Kaleb.

"This is a stupid idea. Hans was right." Murmured Cassandra to Hanna.

"Corona is a day and a half away. So you should be back by Friday." Said Kaleb as he began to address everyone. "We're at war gentlemen. So start acting like it."

"Let's go. We have to prepare out things before we set sail." Said Damien to Kristoff as they all began to marched out.

Hans and Kaleb stared at each other with much tension before finally Hans sighed and smirked devilishly as he turned around and began to walk away.

Kaleb growled as he watched the Arendellian battalion and his his brothers and sister disappear over the snowy hill.

Stockholm Castle

Lars grunted angrily as he barged the doors opened. His breathing was still fast and his heart beat racing with adrenaline.

He uniform was stained of blood as were the yellow uniforms of the Swedish soldiers who were following behind. Many were coughing of exhaustion and others grunting in pain as they carried the injured.

"Oh my God.. Lars-" said Judith with her hand reaching her astonished mouth.

"Lieutenant!" Exclaimed Lars as the young Swedish soldier ran up to Lars. "Send the word. I want double officers, double guards and double shifts. I want all of Stockholm under quarantine until I say other wise is that clear!?"

"Yes your highness." Nodded the young lieutenant before he ran off.

"Lars what-"

"Take my daughter back to her room at once I do not her seeing any of this." Said Lars to one of the maids after noticing his daughter hiding behind a grand pillar and watching in curiosity.

"Ugghhhh..." groaned the General who had been captive by Hans and his brothers. Sweden had been successful in freeing a few of the captives while the others they left for dead after seeing their horrible injuries.

General Heindrick was among them who was lucky enough to still save.

"And for Gods sake get General Heindrick to our infirmary at once!" Exclaimed Lars as the soldiers all nodded and did as they were told.

"Lars!" Exclaimed Judith at last getting his attention as he turned to her.

Judith now had her arms crossed with worry.

"What...happened..." She demanded

Lars inhaled deeply. "Not here." He said as he suddenly took her hand.

He guided her through the hall leaving his Swedish soldiers as they were being attended for their wounds while the servants and maids cleaned up the blood stained floors.

They reached his study quarters and he walks in with Judith following behind before she closes the door behind her.

"You mind explaining to me what the hell happened!? You said you were just going to stop the men who were burning out food supplies. Not go into battle!" She exclaimed angrily and with frustration.

Lars didn't answer. He was facing the large windows behind his desk as he stared out with his hands rested on his hips as he continued to slow his breathing down.

"Lars!" She exclaimed again when he didn't answer.

He lowered his head and closed his eyes.

"My brothers have returned.." He muttered.

"What?" Asked Judith with pressed brows. "You're muttering I can't hear you, Lars."

He turned to face her. His eyes focused on her. She could see the fear and worry in his eyes and his expression serious.

"My brothers. They've returned." He said more clearly and firmly.

Judith's eyes widened as she covered her mouth with her two hands.

"No.." she breathed out.

"It was them who burned our food supply. They were the ones who were keeping General Heindrick captive." Said Lars.

"You're father sent them.." She whispered

"They've been in Sweden for the past two weeks." Said Lars as he continued to look out to the window with worry.

"Okay. Okay. We can figure this out." Said Judith as she took deep breaths. "You're brothers are strong but you can outsmart them. We'll have more men patrol the kingdom and the small towns. King blank is leaning towards joining our coalition anyways. I'm sure he'll send more men as long as we meet his needs as well. They're navy isn't the greatest but at least-"

Judith stopped when she saw Lars hadn't even voiced his opinion at all. Which was not normal. Her husband was famous for always sharing his ideas and knowledge. And seeing him not say a word was troubling her.

His body language was always expressive and now it seemed like he was dead inside like he had seen a ghost.

And to be fair, Lars did in fact see a ghost indeed.

"Lars.. why aren't you saying anything." Said the queen.

Lars took in a deep breath again before slowly facing her again.

"Our strategy has changed, Judith. We no longer have the upper hand in this war. My father.. My brothers.. they've become a bigger threat than I could have possibly ever imagined."

"Darling. Please talk to me." Pleaded Judith. "Weeks ago you told me not to worry. That you'd handle everything. But now you're scaring me. Why don't we have the upper hand now? What has happened?"

"Hans. That's what happened." He answered firmly after a few moments of silence with his lips pressed in worry.

Judith brows furrowed. "What about Hans?"

"He's alive, Judith. He's with my brothers." He muttered.

Judith's eyes widened. She could feel her baby is die her belly jump in fear with her at hearing the words her husband just told her.

"H-how... how Lars. He's dead-"

"He's not. He was there with the Arendellian militia as well." He said.

"So.. the rumors aren't rumors then. He's really alive? Oh my God.. that means Arendelle has broken their promise on neutrality." Said Judith as she walked towards her husband.

"It appears so." He sighed.

Judith shook her head. "It's time that now more than anything we use our best strategy, Lars. We still have far greater kingdoms aligned then they do."

"But now with Arendelle on their side many other kingdoms shall change their mind." Said Lars. "They have Queen Elsa."

"Lars."

"And worst of all now they have my youngest brother too." He added.

"Lars stop thinking that way-"

"For Christ's sake Judith don't you understand? We had a plan. A plan that would execute the Southern Isles and guarantee our victory. But now that plan has vanished. We're at a predicament-" He explained firmly.

"It's not too late! We can still outsmart them, YOU can still outsmart them. Stockholm can still come out victorious with your command." Argued Judith.

Lars shook his head as Judith's brows furrowed with worry once again.

"Out of all my brothers, Judith.. The only one capable of outsmarting me better than anyone.. is Hans." He said.

Judith stared with wide and worried eyes as Lars fixed his hair before taking a heavy sigh and walking out of the quarters leaving the queen of Stockholm worried and fearful as she stared out to the blizzard.

Stockholm Camp

A couple of the soldiers were finally sitting down as they ate and rested. Many were engaged in conversation. Among them were some of Hanna's brothers.

Erik with a couple of her brothers and soldiers were sitting around the fire they just started. They would tell inappropriate jokes with one another while trying to keep themselves warm and distracted.

Hans, Björn and Hanna were passing by with Cassandra and the shield maidens as they finished packing their provisions to leave. Damien was on one knee as he finished collecting small tokens from all of his young dead soldiers who parishes in the battlefield.

He stuffed them in his bad as he looked up towards the Princess who was following her brothers from behind.

"Mmm. That's some damn good chicken we cooked." Said Erik as he took a bite from a cooked leg.

"You're just saying that because we're all hungry and freezing to death in this fucking cold." Said Ivar.

Erik chuckled as he licked his thumb. "Its a good thing we lost some men then. That way we wouldn't have to share."

Hanna who was hearing the conversation rolled her eyes and focused back to the packing she was doing.

"Yeah why would we want to share with the Arendellians." Said Aksel as a couple of Southern Isles soldiers began to chuckle.

"Did you see them fight? Even little Soren our nephew has better skills than them." Said Erik as Ivar smiled and shook his head.

"Forget the way they fought. Did you see the way they died? Like headless chickens on a farm." Said Erik as the Southern Isles soldiers erupted into laughter.

There were a group of young Arendellian soldiers who were standing next to the graves of the fallen soldiers. Many of them just as young as them where they befriended each other during their training. Some were neighbors with each other. Some of them went to school together and some were childhood friends.

The young Arendellian soldiers overheard the loud and foul mouthed conversations the princes of the Southern Isles and its soldiers were having. Even Kristoff who was sitting by himself was annoyed by the disrespectful language they used towards his fallen comrades.

"Erik enough." Said Hanna sternly as they all stopped laughing and turned to look at their youngest and only sister who was finishing stuffing things into her traveling bag.

"What?" Said Erik with pressed brows.

"Have some respect for once." Sighed Hanna as she shot a glance at her brothers before looking away. The soldiers who had been participating in the cruel joke immediately seized as they felt guilt overcome them.

"Have some respect. Who are you my mother?" Laughed Erik.

"It seems that's always the case. I always have to end up being everyone of your mothers. Treat you like children since you clearly never grew up." Fired back Hanna as she began to tie her bag in a knot. Not once looking at them.

"What the hell's your problem, Hanna. We're just having some fun. Lighten up would ya? It's not our fault they can't understand the joke." Said Aksel as he gestured to the young Arendellians who were silent near their dead and fallen men.

"Yeah they're dead who the hell cares. People live and then people die. Life goes on." Added Ivar.

Hanna shook her head and rolled her eyes again.

"Ah, don't mind her words brothers. She's just upset because she lost one of her own today." Scoffed Erik.

Immediately Hanna seized all of her muscles on her body. She didn't blink at all as she stared at her bag with a serious and blank stare.

"Erik." Said Hans who stepped forward. He knew very well his sister was upset. "Shut the hell up."

Erik scoffed again. "Why don't you make me, little brother?"

"Don't tempt me." Said Hans in a lowered yet menacing tone as he stared down his brother with his emerald eyes beginning to glow.

The crowd of soldiers who had been listening to the exchange of words muttered each other at the tense brothers.

"All right that's enough. Both of you just shut up." Said Björn who stepped in front of his younger brother and began to gently shove him back.

"Why? Why should I shut up, Björn. After all it was our younger brother who is the reason we're trapped in Stockholm now. Waiting for more soon to be dead Arendellian soldiers. Pah, some genius plan you had." Said Erik as he turned his attention to his sisters again who hadn't moved at all.

Damien sighed heavily. He had been trying to ignore the conversation but finally he stood up to his feet and turned around as he waited for him to say anything else regarding his fallen men.

"If you should be blaming anyone for your dead shield maidens it's Hans, dear sister." Said Erik turning his attention to Hanna.

"Shut up." She muttered. Her cheekbones were flaring in anger.

"But let's face it, Hanna. You're warriors just aren't strong enough. That pretty face they have can't save them forever. Especially that one that Lars slayed down. What was her name again? Maisha?"

Cassandra and her shield maidens slowly stood up on their feet holding their shields and the handle of their swords tightly.

"Do not mention her name." Warned Hanna just as loud as the first time as she turned to look at her brothers. Her eyes were slowly beginning to glow.

"I think her name was Maja." Said Ivar.

"Oh, right. Yeah that girl couldn't fight for shit. It's no wonder she dropped dead like a bug. She did have some good sets of tits however. Haha! At least that one thing good about her-"

Erik's inappropriate words and laughter suddenly seized because Hanna marched to him so quickly that he had no time to register what would happen next.

Hanna collided her knee against his nose immediately causing a huge crack to be heard. Her speechless brothers and soldiers watched as Erik grunted in pain as he reached for his nose.

But Hanna didn't let him. Instead she pushed his hands away and kicked his stomach so hard that it sent him across the the snow until his head hit the tree.

The blood from his nose dropped as he grunted and tried to rise to his feet. But Hanna didn't stop there. She dropped her knee to his chest giving him no chance to get up and soon thereafter she started beating her brother with her right fist over and over and over again.

Ivar and Aksel jumped to their feet to grab her but Hans quickly jumped in and pushed his brothers back. They rose up to their feet angry as they stared at his younger brother who was standing in front of Hanna ready to protect and shield her.

Both brothers tried running past Hans in opositores directions but Björn was waiting for Aksel at the other end as he pushed him back.

Cassandra and the rest of the shield maidens stepped in as they held the brothers from behind.

Damien reached for his sword and was about to go attack the brothers when suddenly-

POW!

A loud firearm went off.

Everyone stopped what they're were doing and turned to Kaleb the oldest who was holding a musket in the air as the smoke lifted the hole.

"NOW THAT'S ENOUGH!" He proclaimed.

The only one who hadn't stopped however was Hanna who was continuing to collide her fist to her brothers face repeatedly.

"Hanna! I won't ask again!" Warned Kaleb as he quickly reloaded the musket but she didn't stop.

"Hanna stop." Said Hans to her. Immediately Hanna froze.

Her fist was in the air. Her eyes were glowing emerald as she breathed in and out quickly. Erik's face practically covered with blood as gasped for air and grunted in pain.

"You b-broke my fucking nose!" He muttered loudly and angrily.

Hanna had drops of her brothers blood on her face and her uniform. Her fist was covered with it too.

"Get off him. Now." Demanded Kaleb as he raised the musket.

Finally she let out a deep sigh as she lowered her fist. She blinked repeatedly before closing her eyes and inhaling a long breath to control her breathing.

She looked down at her brother who was staring at her angrily as he grunted in pain.

"If you ever mention her name again. I'll kill you." She whispered to his ear.

"F-uck y-you.." He grunted back as she rose to her feet. She walked past him but not before jamming the heel of her boot on Erik's crotch.

"AHHHH God..." He muttered in pain as she walked away. "BITCH!"

Hans sighed heavily. "I'll go after her." He said to Björn as he walked passed his brother who whining about his broken nose and face as Aksel and Ivar helped him up.

He followed the footprints she left behind and walked a few minutes up the stream where she found her sitting on the snow in between two large trees. Her arms rested on top of her knees while her hands fondled the cut ends of a brunette braided hair as she listened to the peaceful stream.

He could only see the back of her auburn braided hair but he could tell that the expression on his sisters face was as serious as the day she found out he would be sentenced to death when he came back from Arendelle the first time.

"Go on. Say it." She said suddenly without turning to Hans who had been trying to sneak behind her quietly.

"Say what?" Asked Hans as he approached her.

"I told you so. I know how much you love saying it." She said as she ran her fingers through the braided hair piece.

"Now why would I say that to you?" Sighed Hans as he sat next to his sisters right side. He too rested his arms on top of his knees.

Hanna stared at the brunette braid as she shook her head disappointedly.

"I was so stupid.. I actually believed Lars would be reasonable." She said letting out a tired scoff. "I was wrong. Just like I'm wrong about our brothers. They'll never change."

Hans sighed deeply as he listened to her. He had been staring at the brunette braid that Hanna was still fondling.

"May I?" He asked as he extended his palm. Hanna glanced at him twice, unsure why he was asking but she didn't argue.

She gently put the brunette braid on Hans palm as he gently picked it up and felt the soft hair with his fingers.

"Was this hers?" He asked.

Hanna nodded.

"Her name was Maja. She was twenty-two years old. She had been in our sisterhood for some time. Next month would've been her third anniversary with us. She was the only child her parents had so you can imagine how many times they begged her not to join us and instead settle down like a normal woman should."

Hans lifted the braid to his eye level as he looked at it carefully. Inspecting the small detail to the braid and the beads they used to hold it together.

"She'd actually been through two engagements. Each of the men left her because they didn't like the idea of a woman being at the same level of swordsmanship as a man. But she never once complained. She always had a positive attitude. She loved animals and loved spending time with us. Just last week she had expressed to us that she finally went out with a young man who wasn't bothered by her profession. She was so excited.."

Hans brought the braid down as he turned to his sister who had been staring at the stream. Her eyes looked lifeless as the glowing on her emerald eyes dimmed as did his.

"Now she's dead." She said pressing her lips together. "And it's my fault."

"It's not your fault." He said.

"Yeah it is." Nodded Hanna as she looked down at the snow next to her boots. "I'm responsible for all of them."

Hans sighed again as he grabbed Hanna's left hand and placed the braid on top of her palm before closing it. Then he grabbed her right hand, the one that was covered with Erik's dry blood.

Hanna let him as Hans lifted her hand and grabbed his water pouch. He opened it and began running water all over the bloodied hand. Then he lifted his dark tunic wear there was another layer of tunic underneath to keep him warm, it was white.

He grabbed a small piece of the white tunic from the bottom and ripped it off. With it he washed her hand with his water again before wiping it down with the tunic, making sure her hand was clean. She already had open blisters on her knuckles from the hard punches she threw at Erik.

He reached inside one of his pockets a small cloth made of reindeer fur. He opened it and there was a tan colored cream on it.

"What is that?" Asked Hanna as Hans dipped his fingers on the cream.

"Some Northuldran medicine they use to heal their wounds. They even use it on reindeers. Rhanda packed it for me." Said Hans as he gently rubbed the cream on Hanna's open blisters.

Once he was finished rubbing the cream on her he reached for the piece of tunic he used to rub her knuckles and squeezed the water and blood out, cleaning it completely as it was clean again.

Then he reached for her hand again and began to wrap it around her knuckles tightly making sure it stayed on and her blisters were covered and protected from the cold wind.

He finished tuning tightening the last knot on her hand before bringing her hand back down to her lap.

"The hardest part about war, Hanna. The hardest part about this job, is that you can't always save everyone." Said Hans as Hanna looked down to her fallen shield maidens braid.

The memory of her and Maja came to her mind and how coldly Lars struck her down like she was nothing.

"My crew are dead because of me." Said Hans as Hanna turned to look at him. "And that's something I have to live on with for the rest of my life until the day I die."

"How do we cope." Said Hanna as she pressed her lips.

"Just like after mother died." Hans turned to look at her. "We keep trying."

Nothing was aid between them as they looked at each other before turning their attention back to scenery in front of them.

Hanna sighed as she rested her head on Hans shoulder. They sat in silence as they listened to the peaceful stream.

The Southern Isles

At one of the many inns in the city of The Southern Isles, Julieta and Agustin Madrigal, the couple who ran the bakery stand that Princess Hanna had purchased from when she was giving Anna and Elsa a tour of the city, were just waking up to get ready for another day of business. Julieta was just finishing putting her warm winter cloak on. Her youngest daughter, Mirabel, had sown this cloak for her. In fact, she had sown cloaks for all of her family members, aside from her Abuela, who could not travel due to her age.

"You okay, mi amor?" Agustin asked.

"Yes, just thinking." Julieta responded.

"About what?"

Julieta resisted rolling her eyes. She took a locket that she kept around neck and pushed the button to open it. Inside was a small, old photo of her holding a baby Mirabel in her arms, while she was being hugged by her two other daughters, Isabela and Luisa. She smiled at the photo before it started to fade to a frown.

"What's bothering you, Julieta?" Agustin asked as he walked up next to her.

Julieta sighed. "They've all grown up so fast..."

Agustin furrowed his eyes, but once he saw the locket, he understood what she meant.

"I know. But they've grown up to be proud young women."

"Should we really have let Isabela go to Corona to work with Dolores?" Julieta asked suddenly.

"Isabela can take care of herself." Said Agustin.

"I know, but that's not what I'm worried about." Sighed Julieta.

"Oh no..."

"Isa's been going through a strange phase ever since she was able to be herself more."

"Not this again..." said Agustin as his wife continued to pace back and forth worriedly.

"And it's led to some unstable behaviour from her!" She continued.

"Julieta..."

"I'm serious, Agustin, what if she comes back and she's pr-"

"AH-AH-AH! No. Do not go there, mi amor." Said Agustin.

"Why not?! Are you saying I can't worry about our firstborn?" Said Julieta.

"Of course not. I'm just saying that this phase will be over eventually. But until then, we cannot worry every hour of every day about what Isabela may or may not be doing." He said.

Julieta sighed again. "I suppose you're right."

"Of course I am. Now, let's go and wake Mirabel and Luisa up." He smiled lovingly at her.

Julieta nodded and followed her husband out of their inn room.

But in the back of her mind, Julieta still worried about what her daughter might be up to.

Baltic Sea

The cold waters splashed the ship as it came up a wave. The air was cold too thus making the drops of water that landed on the ship colder.

Kristoff was leaned forward against the ship with Björn who had made his way to him and already talking with him just about anything that came to his mind.

At times he would listen but then would end up looking out to the splashing waters again as he sighed heavily while Björn continued talking.

"Let me tell you, Sweden might be an asshole of a country right now but they have some of the most beautiful girls in the world. Honest to God. I should know I'm half Swedish after all.." said Björn as he pulled out a small liquor bottle before taking a drink and offering some to Kristoff.

"No thanks." Replied Kristoff dryly.

"You doing all right? You look like you've been down in the dumps lately." Said Björn.

"Just.. thinking about a few things." Said Kristoff as he started rubbing his gloved covered hands together.

Björn pressed his lips together as he looked at Kristoff.

"I know how you feel."

"You do?" Asked Kristoff with pressed brows as he looked at Bjorn.

"Certainly. I remember the first time I went to battle. I had barely turned eighteen years old. We were fighting the Prussians. That was the day I killed my first man." Said Björn as he took another sip from the small liquor bottle.

Kristoff listened attentively.

"It's a strange feeling, taking the life of someone you've never met. You can almost see their souls leaving their body." He explained as his voice grew softer. "I can still remember his face."

Kristoff took in a deep breath. "How do you get rid of that.. strange feeling."

"You don't." Sighed Björn as Kristoff frowned. "You have to live with it. Always remind yourself that you needed to do what you felt was right."

A strange yet somewhat comforting feeling came to Kristoff once he heard Björn say that. It didn't necessarily make him feel and better or any worse.

"Besides you have loved ones waiting for you back home. And a queen who desperately loves and misses you." Said Björn as he nudged Kristoff.

Now that did make him feel a lot worse.

"Had." Muttered Kristoff under his breath as he suddenly took the small liquored bottle from Bjorn's hands before taking a drink himself and then giving it back to him.

He quickly regretted and stuck his tongue out in disgust. It'd been a while since he drank.

Hanna had been by herself for once. She was sitting at the very back of the ship, hunched over while looking out to the endless sea.

She watched as large humpback whales rose up from the sea. There was no emotion in her face as she watched the great mammal descend back down to the sea.

Damien who had been looking from afar could see she wasn't being her usual self. He did not know the Princess well but she knew she was always rather animated and always present in the moment.

But at the moment she wasn't any of that. Damien could see she was feeling troubled.

"It's something isn't it." Said Damien who had approached the Princess.

Hanna glanced just slightly with the corner of her eyes to him but then turned back to the sea without saying a word.

"They don't have any teeth but they sure are some strong mammals." He said as he looked out to the sea where the whale was using its tail to dive down the water. "And surprisingly fast too."

"They also don't eat for most of the year." Muttered Hanna who had been resting her chin on her fist.

Damien furrowed his brows. "Is that so?"

"They only eat 5 months out of the year. The rest of those months they live of their fat reserves." She added.

Damien raised his brows. He was surprised how intelligent Hanna was. Then again he shouldn't be since she was full of surprises after all.

Hanna sighed heavily once again as she continued to look out to the sea. Damien cleared his throat as he sat a respectable distance from her.

"It's not your fault you know." He began as Hanna continued to stare out to the sea.

"Sure feels like it."

"Well don't believe it for one second." Said Damien with surety. "We were all fighting for the same cause and we all the knew the risks going into the battle."

"I know." Sighed Hanna. "I just never thought I'd lose one of them."

"Me neither." Replied Damien as Hanna glanced at him. "Seven of my men died today. Seven families I'll have to no visit and pay my respects when I return home without their son."

Hanna was quiet for a moment as Damien pulled out the seven tokens he had retrieved from the dead soldiers as he ran his fingers through them before looking up again.

"I'm sorry." She muttered.

Damien smirked a little as something came to his mind. "You know this reminds me of that one time during my training when they had us shadow the sailors for a day. We were lost at sea."

Hanna's brows furrowed. "You did?"

Damien chuckles lightly. "Yes. For some reason they thought it'd be wise to have the sailors who were also new recruits give us a tour around the sea. Somehow or another we ended up lost. We were scared to death."

"How old were you?" Asked Hanna.

"Seventeen."

"What the hell? Why would they trust seventeen year olds to sail a ship?" Asked Hanna.

"On the contrary, Princess Hanna. I believe you're brother was admiral at seventeen was he not?" Said Damien with a brow raised.

"Well yeah but that's cause he's been sailing his whole life. Hans was always in love with the sea since he could walk. How the hell did you guys even make it out?" Asked Hanna.

"Believe it or not it was a whale that helped us get back to the right path." Said Damien.

Hanna's eyes widened. "How?"

Cassandra watched as the two engaged in conversation. She couldn't understand it. One second Hanna was in her own world and wanted to be left alone. Then he comes along and suddenly their talking and sharing laughs with one another like nothing happened.

She was hugging herself as she rubbed her arms to keep warm. The other shield maidens had fallen asleep close to each other to keep warm but Cassandra couldn't sleep being worried for Hanna and all.

Suddenly she felt a rather warm and fuzzy blanket cover her shoulders. She looked up with confused brows to see Hans fixing it on her before sitting next to her and placing the other half of the blanket over his own shoulders.

"Thought we should share. You're shivering like a worse than a newborn cub." Said Hans as he started to warm his hands with his breath.

Cassandra smirked as she turns back to look at Hanna.

"You've been staring a lot." He said suddenly.

"I'm just.. I don't trust him. Or men for that matter." Said Cassandra still hugging herself as she stared at the princess and the lieutenant.

"What about me?" Asked Hans with a teasing raised brow.

"Shut up." Said Cassandra rolling her eyes as she shoved Hans who smirked.

"He doesn't seem so bad. He's a lieutenant anyways." Said Hans.

"Why should that matter? You were an admiral." Said Cassandra.

"What I mean to say is he seems to have no skeletons in his closet, Cass. Besides Hanna can take care of herself." Said Hans.

"Yeah I know that- wait. You think your sister likes this Arendellian?" Said Cassandra suddenly with furrowed brows.

"I never said that." Said Hans shaking his head calmly. "All I'm saying is Hanna knows who can be trusted and who can't."

Cassandra sighed. "Yeah I guess your right."

"Besides the Arendellian lieutenant is a great fighter. He held his own in the battlefield. For that you must have some respect." Said Hans. "I'm surprised your more focused on my sisters well being and not at the fact we're headed to Corona ."

"I am. That's why I can't sleep." Sighed Cassandra.

"Really? That's why? It's not the violent waves or the rocking ship or the freezing cold.."

"We've slept in harsher conditions than that don't you remember?" Said Cassandra with a brow raised. "But I'm terrified, Westergaard."

"Why? You know Rapunzel loves you. I'm sure she's desperate to see you."

Cassandra was quiet for a moment before she spoke again. "I haven't spoken to her in years, Hans. I stopped writing to her years ago and have ignored every letter that came. I just.. I can't see her again."

"You never told me she wrote to you." Said Hans with furrowed brows.

"Like I said. There's a lot I haven't told you." Said Cassandra with a soft smirk.

"Come on, Cass. Just try-"

"I can't." She said shaking her head. "I'm so ashamed of everything I've done. What I did to her and to the people of Corona... it'll never be the same again."

Hans breathed in deeply as he joined Cassandra in staring out to the endless cold and violent sea.

"That's our curse, Cass. Things are never the same again." He said.

All while they continued to share the blanket to keep each other warm.

Arendelle Docks

Tuesday

January 24th, 1844

Anna and Elsa were standing at the docks, seeing off three Arendellian ships transporting soldiers to Sweden where the Westergaard brothers were waiting.

"WARMONGER!"

The sisters turned around to look behind them, where the angry mob of their own people were still throwing curses. Mostly at Anna, but some were also thrown at Elsa. The only thing holding the mob back were some of Mattias' men who were on patrol and blocking the angry people from laying a finger on their monarch.

"Come on, let's go back." Elsa said.

Anna watched the mob for a few more seconds before joining her sister in walking back to the castle.

They entered the castle where the castle staff greeted them respectfully. Elsa looked over at her sister who was walking slower than her. Anna was always a fast paced girl but she had no energy to even pick up the pace with Elsa.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

Anna sighed. "No. Honestly, I'm not."

Before Elsa could say anything else, the main doors opened again and a messenger entered.

"Your majesties." He greeted with a bow before he removed the warm mask covering his face from the cold. "I bring a message from Lieutenant Damien Mattias."

The castle staff who was still there all turned to each other at hearing the news.

The sisters' eyes widened. Just then General Mattias entered in with a few of his right hand guards.

"General. Lieutenant Damien has sent his first message to us." Said Elsa.

Mattias eyes widened, somewhat surprised himself. "He did!"

Anna quickly joined her sister side. "Read it out loud please." She demanded.

The messenger opened the letter and cleared his throat before presenting the message.

"You're Majesties,

I give you my greetings and well wishes. I wish to report that the journey has been long and the winter unforgiving. But we have made it to Sweden.

We have encountered Prince Lars and his soldiers in a battle where there were casualties. I regret to inform that there were dead Arendellian soldiers among the confirmed casualties. Below are the the confirmed dead soldiers from our battalion.

Anna's heart sank when the messenger began to name every young Arendellian soldiers name. She didn't know them personally. But hearing their names and their families name broke her heart.

However I am pleased to report that myself and sir Kristoff survived the battle.

The last part surprised Anna, specifically that Kristoff had survived the battle. She expected Damien to survive, but Kristoff?

We bathed through the Stockholm dungeons but the missing Arendellian soldiers were nowhere to be found.

Anna sighed heavily as she turned around and shook her head. She pinched the bridge of her nose in frustration.

We shall be leaving for Corona with Hans and his sister Princess Hanna to inquire of the missing soldiers. That is all I have for you at this time. We shall continue to keep you updated.

Sincerely,

Lieutenant Damien Mattias

General Mattias sighed heavily as he shook his head while his guards whispered with one another. Even the castle staff began to whisper.

"That is all I have at the moment, you're Majesties." Said the messenger.

"Yes, thank you, kind sir. You are dismissed." Elsa said quickly as the messenger handed her the message and bowed to her.

Once the messenger had left, Anna started pacing around. Her anxiety and stress levels were building up, realizing that there were confirmed Arendellian casualties, but she didn't know how many had lost their lives already, nor did she know how many more would be lost. She knew this was most likely going to happen, she just didn't expect it to hit her this hard.

"I shall go and inform the families of their sons passing." Said General Mattias bitterly with his hands behind his back as he took a bow.

"Thank you, general." Said Elsa as she nodded at him and the soldiers while they departed back outside where the screaming mob was heard.

Elsa turned to Anna worriedly who was approaching her throne and sat down. She slumped over and covered her face with her hand stressfully.

Tap, tap, tap

Elsa turned to nearby window and noticed Gale the wind spirit outside carrying a letter. Elsa opened the window and Gale flew in and gave Elsa the letter.

"Thanks, Gale." Elsa said.

Gale then flew back out the window, which Elsa closed before opening the letter and beginning to read it. Anna watched as Elsa read through the letter as her expression quickly changed. And when her eyes widened, she knew it was bad news.

"Oh god... Now what?" Anna asked stressfully.

Baltic Sea

It's been a whole day and the seas had barely at last ceased their tempest. It was still rather foggy out but Hans knew by experience that they were going to be arriving soon.

Cassandra had been sitting on the ships deck with the rest of the shield maidens as she listened to their conversation. Or at least tried to. She wasn't all there as the anxious feelings kept overcoming her body.

She had removed her right glove from her hand as it began to shake uncontrollably again. She tried to move it around in circles again so the phantom pain as anxious shake could leave her alone.

It always came whenever it wanted to. Or whenever she was about to go into battle or in this case, back to her home. Her hand had developed some sort of symptom of intense anxiety.

"You ready?" Came the familiar voice as she looked up at him astonished eyes.

"What?" She said dumbfounded as she hid her shaky hand.

"We're here, Cass." Replied Hans. She could feel her heart sink at that moment as the shield maidens and the crew rose up from their spots see the approaching kingdom.

Cassandra rose to her feet and swallowed nervously as she followed Hans and the others. She put her glove back on as she shaking finally ceased down. She made her way and stood behind Hanna and Hans as she watched the fog slowly disappear.

And that's when she saw it.

Corona, Germany

It all felt so surreal. The castle looked exactly the same but the kingdom from where she was standing looked like it had grown. She could even see the new train they constructed going through the whole kingdom.

And much to her surprise she could even see people out and about despite how cold it was. She pressed her lips as she saw the familiar features on their faces. It was incredible to her how she could tell them apart compared to Danish or Norwegians she's lived amongst.

"Corona." Sighed Björn as he placed a firm hand of Hans shoulder who was also looking out to the kingdom.

"Hmm." Muttered Hans with a slight smirk under his breath.

"What?" Asked Hanna who caught that with furrowed brows.

"It's just funny is all.. I feel more at home here compared to when I was arriving at the Southern isles." He admitted.

Hanna sighed as she looked out to the kingdom again, not feeling the will to debate with her brother again.

Cassandra looked out towards the castle. It was shocking to her how close they were. Only feet away from the castle that stood by itself at the waters. It's almost as if she could reach and touch it herself.

Her thoughts turned to Rapunzel. Realizing she very well may be in that very castle they both spent a good portion of their lives in. This was the closest the two of them have been to each other in years.

"So now that we're here.. any idea on just where the hell we start first? Maybe the marketplace?" Said Björn.

"No." Said Hans shaking his head. "There's only one place we need to go to. Only one place where word won't get around that we're here."

"And where's that at?" Asked Damien who stood next to Hanna.

"The Snuggling Duckling." Said Cassandra as they all turned to face her.

"Oh ho.. I haven't been to the snuggling duckling in years." Said Björn with a chuckle.

"Trust me it's the safest haven we can afford. And if anyone has dirt on anyone it's going to be in the snuggling duckling." Said Cassandra.

"She's right. The snuggling duckling is notorious for hosting the worst of the worst after all." Said Hanna.

"Then it's settled. Lead the way brother." Said Björn to Hans who was heading to steer the ship.

"Wait hold a minute." Said Kristoff as they all turned to look at the mountain man who had the most concerned look on his face. "What the hell's a snuggling duckling?"

Everyone aboard the ship looked at each other and then returned back to what they were doing, leaving Kristoff with unanswered doubts still in his mind.

---

Corona

They sailed to the border and landed right at the forest entrance of Corona where no average citizens were around and where they all disembarked.

When they arrived it was already late afternoon. It took them a day and a half just like Kaleb had said. Then again having Hans aboard helped them steer the ship through the viscous cold.

Cassandra was the last to step foot back on the Corina snow. She pulled off one glove and reached down before softly running her hands the light the snow. She was feeling Corona soil once more.

"You still know how to get us there?" Asked Björn to Cassandra and Hans who had been watching Cassandra as she started putting her glove on again.

"Just follow me. But keep your head down and stay alert. We don't want anyone spotting us. They are neutral ally's of Stockholm and the Southern Isles." Said Hans as he began to lead the way.

"You okay?" Said Hanna coming beside Cassandra as she gently and lovingly shoved her.

"It's like I'm in a dream." Sighed Cassandra as she looked around the familiar route. It was all covered in snow. Even the green trees and bushes that were no longer there.

"You know.. if you really want to we get stop by and visit Rapunzel." Said Hanna as Cassandra rolled her eyes and shook her head.

"You already know my answer, Hanna." Replied Cassandra.

"Honestly, Cass. Would it really be such a bad thing to say hello to one of the most important people in your life?" Said Hanna as Cassandra pressed her lips "Cass.. she's probably been worried about you and wants nothing more to embrace her best friend one more time. You two were sisters..."

Cassandra was silent for a moment as her eyes continued to look down to the many snowy footprints Hans and the rest of the group left behind.

"No." Said Cassandra finally after a moment as she looked up again. "It can't happen. Now can we please drop the subject?"

Hanna sighed again as she turned her head back out to the snowy route. "Suit yourself."

They walked for five minutes until they finally reached the famous and notorious pub in all of Europe.

The Snuggling Duckling

And there it was. Rested on top of the snowy mound with a large tree covered in snow overlaying it as it leaned to the side. Kristoff's brows furrowed as he looked at the strange pub while he attempted to read German words on the sign that had a duck hanging on top of it.

"Da-s K- ku-sch-"

"Das Kuschelige Entlein" said Cassandra in her perfect German as she walked next to Kristoff while inspecting the familiar pub. "It translates to The Snuggling Duckling."

"Wait what? This is the snuggling duckling?" Said Kristoff with confused brows.

"Yeah. What did you think it was?" Asked Cassandra with furrowed brows before she led the way up the pub with the rest of the battalion following behind.

"Oh gee I don't know. An actual duck snuggling another duck I don't know." Muttered Kristoff, rolling his eyes as he followed behind.

The closer they approached, the louder they could hear the voices of men laughing, cursing and even loud music being played. Cassandra closed her eyes and took in a deep breath before finally barging the doors open with her two hands.

Immediately they were met with the strong smell of liquor and the familiar scene she had remembered. Coronas fugitives all in one pub as they caused riot inside.

Kristoffs eyes widened. He had been to a pub before but it never compared to this. It was huge inside. The men were large and all of them violent. There was not one among them that wasn't actively causing a scene.

"Cassandra?" Asked a man who was chugging down a large pin of beer. "Is that you?"

"It's me." Said Cassandra with her hands on her hip as the ruckus continued.

"Haha! Well what do you know. The Queens former lady in waiting." Said another fugitive as many men inside the pub burst into laughter.

"Queen? What do you mean queen? I didn't serve under Queen Arianna." Said Cassandra annoyingly.

"Didn't you hear?" Chuckled the large man. "Rapunzel is queen now."

Cassandra's eyes widened and her heart sank. "What?" She whispered out.

Suddenly a large gasp was heard throughout the whole pub and it's thugs. Even the instruments seized playing. The piano that had been leading the joyful tune immediately went octave.

And it was all because they were looking at him.

Hans had made his way inside the pub and was standing next to a speechless Cassandra. But it was clear that his presence is the one that made them stop.

"Westergaard.." said a large pub thug as he stood up angrily.

Kristoff looked around worriedly as soon everyone else seemed to follow along and rise to their feet. It was clear they knew Hans. But how?

"Uhhh... what's going on?" Asked Kristoff worriedly. "I know my German isn't perfect but I think this has something to do with Hans?"

"You heard right.. get ready." Said Damien to Kristoff and the rest of his soldiers.

A large pub thug grabbed Hans by the collar and slammed him to the wall. Björn immediately raced to his brother and began beating up other thugs who were trying to get a turn in grabbing ahold of his brother and soon thereafter all the thugs began to draw out their weapons and point them at the Arendellian soldiers.

Damien immediately pulled out his sword and his soldiers did likewise as did Hanna's shield maidens as they stood their ground.

"You have some nerve coming back after what you did to all of us." Growled the large pub thug as he continued to press down on Hans throat hard.

"W-what did he do?" Asked Kristoff with his sword pointed at a strange short man wearing nothing but a diaper on with angel wings tied on his back and a bow and heart shaped arrow pointed at Kristoff.

"Isn't it obvious Björnman? Hans was admiral and was stationed in Corona for some time." Said Lagertha one of Hanna's shield maidens.

Kristoff blinked as he finally realized now.

"All of our lives are ruined because of you. We've become outcasts and monsters to Corona-" said the large lug thug as he continued to press hard on Hans throat.

"I'm pretty sure you all had shitty lives before I locked you all up.." Retaliated Hans with ease as he continued to breathe for air.

"Even when you're dying you still have the nerve to talk like a complete prick." Growled the thug.

"Yeah.. so I've been told." Smirked Hans.

The pug thug lifted his large fist which was covered with with brass knuckles full of spikes as he positioned himself to drive it into Hans skull.

"I'm goin to enjoy this very much." Growled the thug ready to punch.

"Oh boys!" All the pub thugs turned to the direction of the confident voice.

"What can I say? My brother is known for his big mouth." Smirked Hanna so calmly as they all looked at her with strange expressions. "Now. How's about we lower our weapons down and talk."

"Pah, I don't take orders from you, babe. Even if you are a princess." Retaliated the large thug as a couple of thugs laughed.

"Well I would carefully reconsider my proposal or this Princess will have no choice but to stick her sword through that small penis of yours." Smiled Hanna innocently as the thugs brows furrowed.

He quickly glanced down and he gasped fearfully when he saw Hanna had the tip of her sword pressed against his crotch.

He let go of Hans who landed on his feet and began to cough and massage his neck.

"Now that wouldn't be a great way to spend the rest of your life would it? No penis, no pride. Unable to make love with another woman again." Said Hanna as she pressed the tip of the blade further into his penis making him yelp frightfully. "Now we wouldn't want that would we babe?

The large thug shook his head desperately. He was sweating and his knees were practically shaking as the fearful thugs all took a step back and began to cover their own crotch as if they were feeling the pain.

Suddenly the large and fearful thug who had been shaking looked down to his breaches and then back at Hanna as if he was pleading for forgiveness.

And he was so fearful at that very moment that he had began to literally piss on himself.

"Well you look at that. Looks like someone had a little accident." Said Hanna with the blade of her sword still pressed against his wet crotch as it spread to his leg. "Now I'm gonna retrieve my sword and when I do you're gonna go run to the bathroom and clean yourself up is that understood?"

The large thug shook his head up and down in panic.

Hanna winked. "Good boy."

She retrieved the sword back before the large thug ran off back into the bathrooms making his way past everyone as they all watched him disappear into the stalls.

"Well now that that's over." Said Hanna as she dusted her hands. "How about you all accommodate us with some drinks?"

"Not so fast." Said another pub thug. "You may have scared Otto and.. some of us.. but why should we trust you all when you're with him?"

"I trust them." Came the sudden voice from behind the large gathering. Everyone turned around where they saw a man jump on top of the table with ease.

His familiar darker hair compared to everyone else in the whole pub and his expression exotic as was his accent.

He removed the colored hooded coat from his head. Finally relieving his familiar face.

"Tadashi.." said Hans with a slight smirk on his lips.

"You know these people?" Asked the thug.

"Unfortunately I do." Replied Tadashi before he jumped off the table and started making his way through the crowd before being joined by the rest of shadow league members.

None of them wore black like they used to. All of them finally wore clothes of their own and in their own color choosing.

"They're the reason I'm here in the first place." Said Tadashi as he looked at Hans with no emotion before turning to Hanna who had her arms crossed. "Princess."

Tadashi nodded respectfully to Hanna who nodded and smirked back. "It's nice to see you again Tadashi."

"Bet you wish I could say the same to you." Said Hans to Tadashi with sarcasm as Tadashi gave him a stare.

"So now what? What do we do?" Asked the small man with a diaper who still had his bow and arrow pointed at Kristoff.

"You heard them. Pour them some drinks and keep the music going." Said Tadashi.

All the thugs all agreed and soon enough the music was playing again and the ruckus and laughter came alive again like nothing had happened.

Björn made his way to Hans and Tadashi who had been staring at each other.

"Ah, so this must be the famous Tadashi you mentioned." Said Björn.

"And you must be Björn. Wonder what else you mentioned about me." Said Tadashi still looking at Hans.

"Only the bad things." Retaliated Hans as the former league members from behind shared a laugh with one another.

"Come. Let us talk." Said Tadashi as he began to lead the way past the large crowd.

A couple of the other former league members went up to Hans and gave him a friendly hug before they followed Tadashi.

Hans inhaled deeply as he looked around. Then from the corner of his eye someone caught his eye.

There in front of the bar was a young women who had been cleaning dry a cup before setting it down and grabbing another wet one.

She had dark light skin and was wearing a beige top with orange highlights, a red skirt that also had orange highlights, as well as strange white lines that looked like sound waves, and she had a red bow around her brown curly hair.

Her eyes had fixated at Hans as if she had been studying him before she finally blinked and looked away.

Hans didn't know what all that was about but soon he followed Tadashi through the crowd.

Northuldra

At the Northuldra camp, Yelena exited her hut and saw that Honeymaren was waiting for her with crossed arms.

"Maren, I'm not talking about this with you any longer!" She said firmly, beginning to walk away.

"Yelena, please! It's been two weeks and you haven't agreed to Queen Anna's plea!" Honeymaren pleaded, following Yelena. Ryder was trying to catch up with his sister, but he kept tripping over rocks and branches.

"We will not aid Arendelle because this is not our war." Yelena stated firmly.

"Yelena if you'd just let me explain-"

NEIGH!

Yelena, Honeymaren, and a few other Northuldrans turned to see the Nokk arriving with Elsa and Anna on it's back. As soon as the Nokk stopped, Anna jumped off and started marching to the camp. Elsa's eyes widened as she was still on the Nokk. Elsa dismounted the Nokk and started to follow her clearly angry sister from behind.

Yelena was unfazed as her great-niece walk right towards her while Honeymaren watched with worry.

"Wait, Anna, let's just-" Elsa started to say.

"REFUSE!? REALLY?! THAT'S THE WORD YOU'RE GOING TO USE WITH ME!?" Exclaimed Anna making the Northudlrans around her murmur among themselves.

"This war is not Northuldra's." Said Yelena standing her ground. "We willnot associate ourselves with something you brought upon yourselves-"

"Oh don't use that bullshit sentimental speech with me! How many times did my father chastise and threaten my mother with death after she told him the truth of where she came from?! NOT ONCE! ZERO! And now that we've finally opened the mist for you and have shared our provisions and aid you coward out!?"

"Anna, please-" said Elsa.

"We never asked you to open the mist for us and you know that." Yelena replied firmly.

"But you wanted it open! We've brought peace to the forest. Peace with our people-" Anna shot back, taking a step closer.

"You're grandfather and your people are the ones who brought violence to our home." Said Yelena, doing the same.

"Okay that's enough!" Exclaimed Elsa as she got in between the two of them.

"And now years later violence once again to our home? We've survived for hundreds of years without Arendelle's support and-" Yelena continued.

"EARTH TO YELENA!" Exclaimed Anna angrily. "When are you going to wake up and realize that there's a whole entire world outside of this forest?!"

Yelena didn't have a counter, but still stood her ground.

Anna then turned to Honeymaren. "And YOU! Why has it taken two damn weeks for you to respond to me?!" She yelled.

"Anna I've been trying." Argued Honeymaren. "I've been trying to convince Yelena to reconsider her-"

Yelena interrupted Honeymaren by raising her hand.

"My decision is final. Arendelle must deal with Sweden on it's own." Yelena finished.

"HOW DARE YOU?!" Anna exploded. "I'VE DONE EVERYTHING I CAN FOR YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE AS QUEEN, AND THIS IS THE THANKS I GET?! IF YOU DON'T RECONSIDER YOU DECISION BY THE END OF TODAY, I WILL CUT YOU OFF FROM ALL FUTURE PROVISIONS WE GET FROM THE SOUTHERN ISLES!"

Everyone else's eyes widened. Even Yelena's this times.

"Anna!" Elsa exclaimed disapprovingly.

"You cannot do that." Yelena argued.

"Oh-ho, I can. And I will unless you agree to help us." Anna replied with sass.

"We had a deal, Queen Anna." Yelena said. "That Arendelle would protect us."

"Well, if you want to be protected then you better make a choice by the end of today, or you can kiss the deal goodbye. But then again, like you said, You've survived hundreds of years without us, right? Surely you can survive another couple hundred." Anna said darkly with sass.

The Northuldrans watching whispered with worry to each other. They've never seen the queen this angry before. Or angry at all for that matter. Anna, having made her ultimatum, turned around to start walking away.

"Your mother would be ashamed of you."

Anna stopped dead in her tracks at Yelena's retort.. Elsa turned her head to Yelena. Surprised by what she just said to Anna.

"You're behaving just like your grandfather."

Anna turned back enough to look Yelena right in her eyes. Her stare was serious and her turquoise eyes focused.

"You have no idea how capable I am of being like my grandfather." Anna shot back.

Anna then turned back and walked away. Elsa, as stunned as she was, went to follow her sister, leaving all the shocked Northuldra behind.

Elsa walked through the woods and found her sister sitting on a rock next to the river. She was hunched over and hugging herself.

"Maybe we should go back to the castle now." Elsa suggested.

Anna shook her head. "I can't go back to the castle right now, Elsa. I'm too stressed."

Elsa sighed as she looked out to the river that led to the dark sea. She got an idea.

"Okay, how about Ahtohallan then?"

The Snuggling Duckling

"AYE!" Exclaimed the thugs cheerfully as more rounds of beer made their way to the tables.

Kristoff looked around the large pub where he saw the young and attractive waitresses carry large treys of beer over her head and then return with empty ones.

He was surprised by how many woman there were inside the pub. Many were dancing on the tables or aggressively making out with the thugs.

Excluding Hanna and her shield maidens of course, they had made themselves comfortable in a booth near the wall while the Arendellian soldiers including Damien and hismelf sat across the bar where Hans, Björn and Tadashi all sat as well.

He felt so lost at the moment. Everyone seemed to be enjoying their time, even during a war currently going on. They were all enjoying the present moment.

But he just felt like a lost child again.

"Still indecisive?" Came the sudden blunt question from Damien.

"Huh? Oh uhh.. yeah sorry." Said Kristoff who had forgotten he was supposed to be ordering a drink for himself.

"Let loose, Kristoff. I know we're still on a mission but you need to relax the body and heal the brain once in a while." Said Damien as he retrieved a mug of beer from the bartender.

"I just.. don't know what to get." Said Kristoff.

Damien pressed his lips and looked at him before he sighed and turned to the bartender. "One Bavarian. Make it heavy please." He said to her as she nodded.

Kristof watched as she grabbed a thick club hammer made of wood and a made an opening, immediately allowing the beer to pour into the large mug before handing it to Kristoff who took into his hands.

"There hasn't been much work for us due to the cruel winter. And now with the war going on, criminals are less interested in committing crimes and more interested in staying alive." Explained Tadashi as he lifted his mug of beer and took a drink.

He was sitting across Hans and Björn at the bar while his former league members sat behind him.

"Can't say I blame them." Said Bjorn with a shrug as he took a drink of his beer.

"Besides that I guess you could say Corona has been treating us rather fairly. We've been staying under the radar and queen Rapunzel has assured that her people would not at all engage in the war." Said Tadashi as he lifted his mug of beer again. "Can't say the same about your kingdoms however."

"So you've heard." Said Hans sarcastically with a brow raised.

"Sweden against the world. At least that's what the rumors say. My question is how that's all even possible with a brother on the throne." Said Tadashi.

"What can I say. Westergaards will always be Westergaards." Said Hans with a shrug as Björn smirked. Tadashi let out a small chuckle before he took another drink.

"Hans. We're happy to see you again don't get us wrong but.. why exactly are you here?" Said Isla, the former league member from Kenya. "We don't have any connections with the current conflict at all."

"Don't worry Isla, no one knows we're here if that's what your asking." Said Hans as he tapped the mug of beer with his fingers. "And no one has followed us here. Not even the Swedes."

"So why are you here then." Demanded Tadashi.

Hans sighed as he leaned forward.

"We're looking missing soldiers."

"Soldiers?" Repeated Tadashi with a brow raised.

"Ten Arendellian soldiers and ten Southern Isles soldiers. Twenty in total. They were being held captive by our brother Lars in Sweden." Said Hans.

"Then why are you here and not in Sweden." Said Tadashi.

"We just came from Sweden. We were there for over two weeks and even went to battle against our brother. We defeated him but he outsmarted us and bought time to get away. When we barged into their dungeons there was no sign of them. They were gone." Explained Bjorn.

"Maybe he killed them." Suggested the Alexei large Russian.

"Lars wouldn't do that." Said Hans. "He's far too smart and is using them for leverage. With all twenty soldiers captive he holds an advatage over Arendelle and the Southern Isles. He also has more alligned kingdoms at his side."

"So why would you come looking for them here of all places?" Questioned Tadashi with his serious and judgmental stare.

"Corona is one of the few kingdoms that Stockholm is neutral with. It's also it's strongest aligned kingdom since our father and Lars are no longer on good terms. If Lars would choose anywhere to move the soldiers and keep them hidden until he executes his plan it would be here."

Tadashi sighed heavily as he took a long drink of his beer before looking up at Hans and Bjorn again.

"Tadashi. We need you to give us any information you may have of Stockholm. Any rumors or names you've heard. Lars is already recruiting more men into his army and I fear the next time we go to battle with him he'll overpower us."

"But what about your allies?" Asked Kareem the former league member from Saudi Arabia.

"It's not enough. Arendelle right now are the main kingdom that was ready to depart to war with us and they don't have enough men compared to our kingdom. They're also still in training." Said Bjorn.

"Even if those soldiers were here in Corona, what difference would it make." Said Tadashi.

"It means we had beaten Lars of negotiating with Arednelle or the Southern Isles. And stopped him from having the sodliers give out any further information about the two kingdoms." Said Hans.

Tadashi took the mug of beer and chugged it down before wiping his lips and rising to his feet.

"Let me see what I find."

Hans nodded as he watched Tadashi and his men dissapear into the hectic bar.

"You sure we can trust him?" Asked Bjorn as he leaned next to Hans.

"We can." Nodded Hans.

Cassandra was sitting with Hanna and the women while leaned back on the chair while tapping the mug of beer. Her mind clearly not all there.

"It'll lose it's taste if you don't drink it soon." Said Hanna leaning over to Cassandra with a mug in her own hand.

"She's queen."Replied Cassanda. "She's actually queen now, Hanna."

Hanna sighed. "Word is that she became queen during the war. King Frederick becomes a more valuable target for negoatiotan so to avoid all that he passed the crown to her. There was no ceremony or even a congratutory ball at all."

Cassandra blinked as she looked at Hanna with pressed brows. "Wait, you knew? How?"

"I'm a royal, Cass. I hear a lot of things." Said Hanna with a shrug before taking another sip of her beer.

Cassandra sighed heavily again before crossing her arms as she looked out to the bush pub.

"They could have at least informed me you know." Said Cassandra bitterly.

"How? You''ve stopped writing to her years ago!" Said Hanna with widened eyes.

Cassandra sighed heavily. "I hope we leave Corona soon."

"Look at least consider going to see her again. It would put a lot of doubt past you. Besides it's been so long I'm sure people have forgotten about what you did." Said Hanna.

Cassandra scoffed. "You think it's so simple, Hanna. If I could magically wipe everyones memory of me and what I did I would but it won't happen. This is my life now and I've come to terms with it."

Hanna sighed again as Cassandra finally brought her mug of beer up to her lips and chugged it all in one go before reaching for another mug full of beer from a very beautiful and dark skinned woman wearing a light purple dress passing by with long dark straight hair.

"What you're going to drink the pain away now?" Hanna acused with a brow raised.

"My body my choice." Retaliated Csssandra as Hanna sighed and rolled her eyes as she looked away.

Ahtohallan

"-And then we just left the camp and came straight here." Elsa finished explaining everything to their mother's spirit.

Iduna sighed, unamused that her aunt had refused to agree to help Arendelle. She noticed Anna was quiet, indicating something was clearly bothering her. And it wasn't just the cold temperature inside the majestic place made of ice.

"Anna, what's wrong?" She asked.

"Isn't it obvious, mother? I'm angry with Yelena and everything else." Anna replied looking back up at her.

Iduna walked up to Anna, looking her youngest daughter right in her turquoise eyes with her own deep blue ones. She wasn't convinced that was her true answer.

"Anna, my little strawberry, what's really bothering you, darling?" Iduna asked with her soothing, motherly tone.

Anna's lip quivered as she teared up. Her mother knew her so well.

"Everything is wrong, mama. Kristoff and I broke off our engagement because we're just not right for each other. But more importantly, the war's raging, the people are protesting, and I fear more Arendellian lives will be lost. I don't even want to imagine how the families of the dead soldiers will react when I tell them their sons are never coming back home..." Anna finished in tears, not sobbing by any means, but still upset.

Elsa sighed deeply as she came to Anna's side and began rubbing her hand on Anna's back, trying to sooth her.

"I know how difficult this all feels to you, Anna. Like the world is against you. But you need to be brave. Be brave for Arendelle, for Northuldra, for everyone." Iduna encouraged.

"I... I don't know if I'm brave enough for this." Anna said wiping her tears that had escaped her eyes. "I don't know if I can keep doing this.."

Iduna sighed and smiled. "Anna, my angel, there was a time when I didn't think I was brave enough to do something I never thought I needed to do. I was despondent for weeks, refusing to eat, unable to sleep, but you know who it was that convinced me to keep going?"

Anna furrowed her watery eyes. "No, who?"

Iduna smiled loving. "You."

Anna's eyes widened. "Me?"

Iduna nodded. "Yes. At that time, I was carrying you in my womb. One day I felt a kick from you and from that day on it never stopped. You were difficult to carry. I was constantly nauseous with you, I was always hungry and you were always moving. Can you believe that? Even in my womb you couldn't stay still."

A laughed escaped Anna's lips as Elsa covered her own mouth and chuckled.

"But I realized that I needed to be brave. That even though it felt like the world was closing for me, I was creating you. And you kept me going. I knew I needed to be needed to be brave not just for Arendelle, but for my family. Your father, your sister, ...and you, Anna. You were my little angel. An angel that saved my life. And now, darling, it's your turn to be brave. Not just for Arendelle, not just for Northuldra, but for your family. Can you do that for me, Anna?"

Anna's lip quivered again, but this time she was filled with love and hope.

"Yes, mother. I can." She said with emotion.

Elsa smiled.

"That's my girl." Iduna said with a proud smile. "Now go, my daughters. Show Arendelle that you won't stand down from your decision. And show all of Scandinavia just how brave you are."

The Snuggling Duckling

The loud and wild pub continued to party on with howls, cheers and music playing. Hans was sitting by himself at the bar as he finished another round of beer before setting it down.

He was looking around the pub and watched Tadashi and his men endlessly as they continued to roam around and ask the thugs and pirates for any valuable information.

"HANS!" Exclaimed a tipsy Bjorn.

Hans turned around and his eyes widened when he saw his brother.

"Jesus Christ Bjorn! Where the hell did you get them from!?" Exclaimed Hans.

Bjorn had his arms wrapped around two young and very attractive German women who were showing much cleavage. They were grinning and staring at Hans with lustful eyes. One with curly ginger hair and freckles and the other a long blonde hair.

The buttons on the neck collar of Bjorn's tunic were unbuttoned and you could see his slight hairy blonde yet muscular chest.

"We just met two minutes ago. What do you think eh?" Said Bjorn as he showed off the two women. "One for you and one for me. Take your pick brother. This one here is a size 32. All natural."

Kristoffs eyes widened and his jaw dropped when he saw the ginger haired woman reached for her large breasts and lifted them up teasingly.

"Oh my God.." Muttered Kristoff under his breath with his jaw still dropped.

Hans erupted into laughter. "Bjorn we haven't been in Corona for less than two hours and already you're going to hump random harlots?"

'Ah come on brother, lighten up. Boy you really have changed haven't ya? What happened to the brother I knew that could sleep with any woman he wanted to." Said bjorn as the two German women began to rub Bjorn's chest seductively. The blonde women began to signal Hans to come to her with her index finger.

"I'm still capable of being that man." Chuckled Hans. "But I'l take a pass on this one. I have a job to do so they're all yours."

"Really? Are you sure?" Said bjorn with a brow raised.

"I'm sure." Smiled Hans.

"All right suit yourself. Let's go ladies. Bet ya never been with a prince before huh?" He said as the two german women giggled and showed him the way.

Hans chuckled and shook his head as he watched his brother disappeared into the pubs stairs. He looked at the fresh beer he had gotten a refill of as he continued to tap his fingers on the mug.

"Wow. How surprising." Came the sudden voice by an adorable squeak as Hans looked up to the bar. He followed his eyes to where the voice and heavy accent came from.

There was the bartender with half of her back to him as she continued to dry the freshly cleaned mugs with a cloth. She was smirking at him with one hip to the side.

"What's surprising?" Asked Hans with furrowed brows.

"That someone like you isn't going out of your way to sleep with any woman you want. Isn't that what your brother claimed?" She asked

"I'm sorry who are you?" Asked Hans with a brow raised now as he crossed his arms on top of the table bar.

The light skinned woman shrugged and made a squeaking noise again. "I'm just a bartender serving my clients and making friendly conversation. It's part of my job after all."

"I see. And you're job requires you to be nosey?" He challenged.

"Only if I find my clients interesting. I can hear everything after all. I'm also a good listener." She said smirking at him.

"Is that so?" He asked with a smirk of his own now.

"You're here to find the missing soldiers aren't you?" She asked with a brow raised.

Hans eyes widened slightly. "How'd you know about that."

"Like I said. I can hear everything." Smirked the young woman at him before putting the dry cups away with a very intrigued Hans still staring at her in disbelief.

He was about to open his mouth to say something when suddenly-

"Hey!" Hissed Tadashi from behind who was quickly approaching Hans again.

"What is it? What do you have for me." Said Hans turning to Tadashi and with full attention.

"Okay so we've talked to a couple of thugs and they say that they haven't seen any Swedish ships by Coronas shores at all." Said Tadashi.

"Nothing at all?" Asked Hans with furrowed brows.

The bartender woman was leaned forward on the bar as she listened the two men talk.

"No trace at all. However-"

"What." Said Hans with full attention again.

"We talked to the pirates. A couple of them said they've seen a mysterious ship sail through the shores on their way in to the ports." Said Tadashi.

"Mysterious ship?"

"A large dark ship. They say it sails through every month or so. No one knows what's inside the ship or who's in command. But word is they are notoriously famous." Said Tadashi.

"That's got to be from Lars. He must've hired a third party or pirates to move the prisoners or his cargo." Said Hans as he rubbed his chin and began to ponder.

"That's what they're suggesting. That they're pirates." Said Tadashi.

"The Snuggling Duckling has many pirates pass by. Some even stay the night. So you can't just assume it's pirates when there are so many." Said the bartender.

"She's right. It'll take a while to find out who the ship belongs to since there's so many pirates- wait.." said Tadashi as he suddenly turned to look at the bartender with a confused expression. "Who is she?"

"It doesn't matter. Listen. We need to start interviewing pirates or anyone who owns a ship. Perhaps we may not find them but we'll at least have some information of who that ship may belong to." Said Hans.

"Come men." Said Tadashi to the former league members who were standing behind. "We'll all take one side of the pub and start interviewing any pirate or anyone who owns a ship."

"I'll repay you all for your help I promise." Said Hans to the men.

"You can repay us by buying us all another round." Chuckled Alexei the large Russian before he and Tadashi went back into the loud crowd.

Hans let out a chuckle as he turned around back to the bar to order. But to his surprise the bartender was was already placing 5 mugs of fresh beer she had filled up on the table.

"How'd you know I needed these?" Asked Hans with furrowed brows again.

"Four for your friends and one for you. They wanted another round did they not?" She replied.

"Wait you heard all that included?" Asked Hans again.

"I told you. I'm a good listener." Shrugged the woman with her arms crossed with a smirk.

"Are you a fortune teller?" Asked Hans with seriousness as he retrieved his own beer mug in his hands.

The woman erupted into an adorable laugh.

"So you believe in magic now do you?" Asked the bartender.

"Trust me when you've seen the things I have then you won't question whether magic is real or not." Huffed Hans as he shook his head.

"Hmm interesting." Said the bartender with a sly smile before turning her attention to another woman approaching her with a empty tray already in her hand.

Her skin was dark and her hair darker. It was long and reached below her waist.

"Estas a esa mesa." She said to her in a foreign language as she gestured at the beers.

Hans brows furrowed. He swore he heard her speak Spanish. Then again she spoke so fast she didn't quiet catch it.

The dark skinned woman nodded as she grabbed all beers and placed them on top of the tray before turning to leave again.

She passed by Kristoff who caught a glimpse of her. The dark skinned woman grinned at him with her eyes before turning away and disappearing into the crowds as Kristoff watched her leave and deliver the drinks to Tadashi and the other men.

"Okay. I have to ask now. What is your name?" Said Hans to the bartender with her arms still crossed while smirking at him.

"Dolores. Dolores Madrigal." She said in her native language and perfect accent.

Hans caught it and immediately knew he had been right.

"That's Spanish isn't it. Are you from Spain?" He asked.

"Ooh look at you. That's the first time someone's guessed correctly." Nodded Dolores with a impressed expression.

"Dolores means sorrows in Spanish. Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, inspired by the Virgin Mary." Said Hans in Spanish before picking up his mug of beer again. "I lived in Spain for some time and picked up on the language."

"Very impressive. You even sound like a Spaniard too." Chuckled Dolores with a smile. "Except I'm not from Spain. I'm from Colombia."

"Colombia.. huh. South America right?" He asked.

"That's right." She nodded with a smile again.

"You're a relatively new country aren't you?" Asked Hans with furrowed brows.

"We've only gained independence twenty five years ago. So yes we are a very new country." Said Dolores.

"Now let me ask you this. What the hell are you doing all the way in Germany?" He asked as Dolores chuckled.

"My family and I are in Europe till the spring time for work and trading so we can bring back more provisons back to our town." She explained.

"And out of all of Europe you chose Germany?" Asked Hans.

"Well.. my prima and I did." Said Dolores as she gestured at the young dark skinned woman who was passing the alcohol around with the tray over her head.

"Prima.." Repeated Hans as he turned and glanced at the young woman. "You're cousin?"

"You're Spanish is excellent." Chuckled Cassandra. "And yes that's my cousin Isabela. We've been working at the Snuggling Duckling since November."

"So it's just you and your cousin?" He asked.

"Well.. My younger brothers are with my parents in Munich and my cousins parents and sisters are in the Southern Isles." She said.

"The Southern Isles? That's where I'm from." He said.

"I know" She said smiling at him as she wiped down the table bar.

"How did you know?" He asked.

"I hear everything remember?" She said smiling at him. "But also you're famous around here you know that? They all tell stories about the disgraced admiral who scared the crime underworld." She said.

"So you saw me and put a name and face together." He said.

"I had a feeling." She said shrugging at him. "And the fact they wanted you dead as soon as you set a foot inside well.. that gave it away."

"That's true." Said Hans taking a drink with brows raised as Dolores chuckled at him.

Kristoff who was sitting just across the bar scoffed as they continued to engage in friendly conversation so easily. It's like his charm was a curse in this world. He wrapped women around his finger so easily.

He sighed heavily as his sorrowful thoughts once again turned to his current status. Lonely and lost. He had tried hard to push his thoughts aside but they only came back stronger.

Maybe I should just pick up alcohol more he thought to himself as he moved his drink in circles.

His eyes slightly widened when he felt a gentle yet attentive touch that patted him.

"Are you okay amor?" Came the direct yet soothing voice with a similar heavy accent like the one that bartender had.

He turned around where the beautiful waitress was smiling at him with the empty tray in her hand.

"Uhh-I Uhh. I was just-" He couldn't breath out the words. The woman looked more stunning standing just inches away from him.

"Need a refill?" She asked as she pointed at Kristoffs almost empty mug of beer.

"S-sure.." he said finally as the waitress smiled at him and grabbed the mug before opening a new barrel of beer just before pouring it and handing it back to him.

"Thanks." He said shyly as Isabela smirked at him. "You're name is Isabela isn't it?"

"It is. Do we.. know each other or-"

"No no! Sorry I just overheard their conversation and your cousin mentioned you worked here with her and all." He explained as he turned to Hans and Dolores before then back at Isabela.

"Hmm sounds like her. She's very chismosa." She said rolling her eyes and smirking.

"Chismosa?" He repeated the strange word.

"It means big mouth where we come from. Someone who always gossips." She explained.

"Oh I see.." said Kristoff as a genuine smile finally appeared, even if it was in the corner of his lips.

Isabela smiled back. "Well I better get back to work. It's a full house tonight. I'll see you around." She said smiling at him before leaving back into the crowd.

Kristoff watched as Isabela purposely would tease the men and even move her hips seductively so more people can give her tips.

He was surprised how well it worked. Suddenly it almost seemed like everything was fine until suddenly he realized he was alone again. Suddenly the short conversation he had with Isabela was just a temporary feeling.

He turned and rolled his eyes when he saw Hans and Dolores still lost in conversation. Even Dolores was intrigued by the way she leaned over the table bar and listened to Hans talk.

Northuldra

As Elsa and Anna rode the Nokk back towards Arendelle, they passed the shores of Northuldra.

Anna looked towards the shores with bitter in her face. There was no sign of Yelena or anyone anywhere. It was clear they were going to stick to their position.

She sighed heavily as they made their way past the shore and towards the fog. Anna just so happened to look over at the end of the shore and her eyes widened.

She saw strange shadowy figures standing in unison, holding what appeared to be weapons as they faced her directly.

"Elsa? Elsa." Anna said, more firmly the second time as she grabbed her sisters waist.

"What?" Elsa replied, looking back.

Anna nodded towards to shore and Elsa looked, her eyes widening as well.

"Whoa." Elsa commanded, tugging on the ice reigns, to which the Nokk obeyed and slowed to a stop.

The sisters stared at the shadowy figures. None of the figures were moving. And from the looks of it there more than five or six of them that could be seen.

Elsa dismounted from the Nokk and very slowly made her way to the shadowy figures who were still standing still from afar off.

Anna dismounted off the Nokk and followed Elsa closely behind as they waited for them to do or say anything. She turned to Anna and whispered.

"Stay behind me. If anything happens, you get back on Nokk and go right back to Arendelle. You understand?"

Anna's eyes widened but she nodded.

"Are they Swedes?" Asked Anna.

"I don't know.." Whispered Elsa shaking her head.

"Well how do we find out?" Whispered Anna back just as loud.

Elsa pressed her lips thinking of an idea before she looked at at the figures again.

"Vem är du." She demanded in Swedish which in translation meant. "Who are you."

"Vem är du!" Asked Anna a little louder while still hiding behind her older sister.

But none of the shadowy figures answered. None of them said a word.

"Visa dig eller gå genast. det här är inte ditt land!" Exclaimed Elsa in Swedish saying. "Show yourselves or leave at once. This is not your country!"

"I think I only understood 88 percent of what you said to them but I'm pretty sure they're refusing to leave." Said Anna as she continued to hide herself behind Elsa.

"Okay this is it. Get ready to run." Hissed Elsa as she raised her left hand, ready to blast anyone that would dare try to harm her or her sister.

But as Elsa's hand began to glow blue with her magic, it illuminated the area enough for them to see who the shadowy figures really were.

There was Honeymaren, holding her spear, Ryder right behind her with a few others standing behind him. All of them covered in reindeer skin for warmth.

Elsa sighed in relief. "For god's sake, Maren! We thought you were Swedish invaders. I could've blasted you with ice!"

"Sorry, but we don't exactly have our own light sources." Honeymaren shrugged.

"That explains the weird language you were speaking." Said Ryder.

"What's all this?" Asked Anna as she slowly walked past her sister.

"We're with you, Anna." Said Honeymaren to her as she looked her in the eyes.

Anna's eyes widened. "What?" She whispered.

Honeymaren gestured behind her to the large fog. Elsa furrowed her brows and raised her hand again, summoning icy blue light and immediately her magic illuminated the fog.

There was a large number of Northuldran warriors. Young men and women that looked as young as sixteen years of age. They stood in assembly behind her.

"We're your reinforcements." Said Honeymaren.

This time Elsa's eyes widened as she lowered her hand and letting her icy blue magical particle float in the air. They were an army of Northudlran warriors. The number of them seemed endless.

"But.. what about Yelena?" Asked Anna.

Honeymaren places her hands on her hips and shrugged. "She doesn't know. But that doesn't matter. This is my call."

Anna pressed her lips as tears began to swell up in her eyes.

"It's the right thing to do." Added Honeymaren.

She smiled at her as she went up to her and wrapped her in a large hug as Honeymaren smiled at her and hugged back.

She quickly blinked her tears away as she placed a firm hand on Honeymarens shoulder. "Thank you, friend."

"Don't thank us yet. We have a war to win don't we?" Said Ryder who stood just a couple feet behind his sister.

Anna turned to Ryder and smiled at him before turning to the rest of the Northuldra warriors as Elsa approached Honeymaren, smiling at her as they hugged.

"I thank all of you who have come here today." She said addressing the young warriors. "I know this isn't an easy thing to ask of you. But I promise Arendelle will be by your side. I shall be at your side. We shall fight this war together.." She finished saying firmly.

Honeymaren who was standing next to Anna raised her spear and began in the air as the Northuldran warriors watched her.

"Hayayayaya!" She began chanting a high pitched Sami war cry as the rest of the large Northudlran army followed and did the same. Anna smiled at Elsa as they looked around her and the chanting continued.

Yelena who was hiding a far off in the woods witnessed the whole thing, very aware what decision Honeymaren made without her knowledge. But she never stepped in or did anything to stopped them.

Instead she breathed in deeply and pressed her lips before she slowly walked away with her stick in hand for support.

The Snuggling Duckling

Hans Barged into the room where Björn had gone with the two woman he was with earlier. He saw Bjorn with his back and bare arse facing him. The two women were on top of their bed and on their knees giving him oral sex.

"Björn!" Called Hans.

"AHHH!" Screamed the two women as they stopped blowing Björn and jolted upright, trying to cover their naked breasts.

Bjorn turned around and laughed. "Ah, so someone changed his mind? Come brother, we just started. I'll take the floor, and you take the bed with the redhead here-"

"No, Björn! I need your help!" Hans clarified.

"What?! Can't you see I'm a little busy at the moment?" Björn whined as the woman returned where they left of.

"I can see that, but I need some help interviewing some pirates to join our crew since we've lost some men. They probably know information about mysterious ship and can leas us there.

"Now?" Asked Björn with upset eyes as a one of the German woman gagged trying to fit his whole penis in.

"Now." Reaffirmed Hans.

Björn groaned. "Ugh, fine." He replied bitterly as he pushed the woman away and put away his hard and large cok before putting his pants back on.

"I'll be back as soon as I can, ladies." Björn said to the disappointed naked women laying on the bed as he followed Hans back downstairs.

Stockholm Castle

Lars was alone in his study, waiting for any kind of update on his brothers' whereabouts. He knew they had left the country in search of the soldiers he was keeping prisoner, but he didn't know where they had gone.

Just then his study door burst open and his daughter ran in with his wife in tow, who closed the door behind her.

"Papa! Papa!" Linnea called happily as she ran over to him.

"Yes, Linnea? What is it?" Lars said, almost blankly.

Queen Judith furrowed her eyes at him for his tone.

"Mama just told me the exciting news!" The little girl said.

Lars looked as his daughter for a second before turning back to the map of Scandinavia he was looking at. "What news would that be?"

"I'm gonna be a big sister!" Linnea announced happily.

Lars's eyes widened. He gave his wife a disapproving look to which she furrowed her eyes again.

"Is that right?" Lars said, turning to look at his daughter finally.

"Mm-hm! I'm so happy! I'm hoping for a baby brother!" She said.

"Well, I'm sure there's a good chance that'll be the case." Lars said, ruffling his daughter's hair, to which she giggled.

"Linnea, can you give me and your father a few minutes?" Judith asked. "And remember, this is a secret between the three of us, okay?"

"Yes Mama." Linnea replied as she ran out of the study, her mother opening and closing the door for her.

"You told her? Judith, what were you thinking? We're still at war!" Lars questioned.

"I am very aware of that Lars! But Linnea was so scared after General Hendrick and the rest of his men returned all battered and bloody, so I told her she would soon become a big sister to make her happy! Is it so wrong for me to want to make our own child happy?!" Judith retaliated.

Lars didn't immediately respond. He just stared at his wife, who stared back.

Knock-knock-knock!

Before they could argue any further, a knock came from outside the study door.

"Yes?" Lars replied. "Enter."

The door opened and a royal guard entered.

"Your majesties, I bring message from one of our spies. They have spotted a group of Southern Isles and Arendellian solders in Corona."

Lars and Judith's eyes widened.

"Including all of my brothers?" Lars asked.

"No, your majesty. He says this group is smaller than the force invaded us and is led by Princess Hanna, Prince Björn, and Admiral Westergaard. They are the only Danes aboard the ship." The guard clarified.

Lars clenched his free hand into a fist. They were moving quicker than he expected them too.

"Send word to Admiral Ahlstrom. He is to take a navy detachment to Corona as soon as possible to capture that group." Lars ordered.

"Yes, your majesty." The guard replied, closing the door.

"But Lars, Corona is neutral in the war! We can't just attack them!" Judith exclaimed.

"I'm not sending them to attack Corona, I'm sending them to attack Hans." Lars corrected.

The Snuggling Duckling

The ruckus inside the pub continued on as did the duo of musicians playing the guitar and accordion. There was a crowded tavern and glass bottles were being shot off of thugs heads for entertainment as they all continued drinking the night away.

"And what makes you think you're worthy to crew with the Southern Isles?" Said Björn.

"Truth be told, I never sailed a day in me life. I figure I should get out and see the world while I'm still young." Replied an elderly thug with a long beard.

"You'll do. Make your mark. Next!" Exclaimed Björn.

"My wife ran off with my dog. And I'm drunk for a month. And I don't give a ass rat's if I live or die.

"Perfect! Next!" Exclaimed Björn.

A man with one arm stepped forward. "Me have one arm, 'n' a bum leg."

"It's the crow's nest for you." Smirked Björn as the man sighed happily and limped away.

Hans continued to look over the Corona map with his grandfathers compass he borrowed from Cassandra. The same compass he gifted to her originally.

"What are you doing?" Asked the curious Dolores with a smirk as she leaned on the bar with her hand on her face and her full attention at Hans.

"Trying to find the easiest route through Coronas outskirts. My brother could have hidden the missing soldiers some place off the reserve." He explained as he continued to focus on the map.

"That's a weird theory." Scuffed Kristoff as he lifted his drink again.

"Hey. Shouldn't you be minding your own business?" Said Hans glaring at him.

Kristoff rolled his eyes.

"Next!" Exclaimed Björn.

A funny looking man with a mustache stepped forward. He was rather skinny too.

"Ever since I was a little lad, I've always wanted to sail the seas. Forever." He proclaimed.

"Sooner than you think. Sign the roster." Smiled Björn.

"Thank You very much!" Said the man happily before running off.

"How's it going Björn." Asked Hans.

"We'll including those four? That gives us- four!" Said Bjorn with a bored face.

"What the hell that's it?" Said Hans with his brows raised.

"It'd be a lot quicker if you started helping you know." Said Björn.

"Just give me a minute I'm just making some areas to pass by for tomorrow." Said Hans turning back to the map.

Björn sighed heavily as he turned to the next candidate in line.

"And what's you're story?" He asked looking up at the man.

"He was wearing a large black coat with a sailors hat that was used but very dark. His head was hung low so you couldn't see his face.

"My story... it's exactly the same as your story, just one chapter behind. I chased a man I lied for across the Seven Seas. The pursuit cost me my crew, my commission, and my life.."

Bjorn's brows furrowed as he slowly looked up to the familiar voice.

"Vice Admiral Sigurdson? Ragnar?" Said Björn as his eyes slowly widened.

The magnifying glass Hans had been holding close to his face suddenly fell from his hand as it landed at the table bar. Time suddenly stopped. His heart felt like it dropped as he looked up at Dolores with widened eyes. He almost looked pale.

"Are you all right?" Asked Dolores with concern as Hans suddenly forgot to breathe normally.

Even Kristoff was confused why Hans of all people looked like he had seen ghost.

"No, not anymore, weren't you listening!?" Exclaimed the mysterious man as he reached for Björn across the desk and held him by his collar.

Björn had no time to react. He too was stunned to see the familiar face before him.

"I nearly had you all, off Tripoli. I would have, if not for the... hurricane." Growled the man angrily at Björn.

"Dear God.. You didn't try to sail through it did you?" Asked Björn with widened eyes.

The man growled angrily as he threw Björn across the pub where he landed on his back making the music stop as everyone started at the sudden altercation.

Hanna who had been enjoying another round of beer with her warriors stopped midway as she rose to her feet to see why her brother was suddenly on the floor.

Hans slowly rose to his feet and grabbed the map in his hand quietly before he began to slowly back away unseen.

"What are you doing!?" Hissed Bjorn.

"SHHHH!" Hissed Hans at Kristoff as Dolores watched with a confused expression.

"So am I worthy to serve under Admiral Hans Westergaard?" Said the man loudly as he walked around in drunkly in circles to the surrounding crowd with the bottle of rum in his hand.

Suddenly he pulled out his pistol from his pants and pointed it at Hans who was attempting to sneak off behind him and was hiding behind a fake plant he used to cover himself.

The crowd inside the pub gasped. He had spotted him.

"Or should I just kill you now?" He finished.

Hans ducks back and forth behind both sides of a large pole he had been trying to sneak by. Everytime he ducked and moved the mysterious man followed his pistol at Hans.

"Ahem.. Ragnar old mate. You're alive! And I see you're interested in joining us so you're hired!" Exclaimed Hans nervously.

"Sorry. Old habits and all that." Said Ragnar as he clicked the pistol ready to shoot at him.

"Easy, sonny! He's ours to kill!" Two thugs stepped forward trying to deflect Ragnar's pistol upwards as it suddenly fires.

The pistol ball richochets off the chandelier, breaking a man's bottle as he's drinking from it. The man whose bottle broke slugs a man next to him.

The drunk man confused by the sudden slug swings at the man next to him assuming it was him.

The music starts back and before they knew it a brawl suddenly breaks loose inside the Snuggling Duckling.

Everyone began to brawl with each other. Food was being thrown everywhere, even from upstairs. Beer was being spilled and loud laughter, screams and grunts filled the air.

Everything inside the pub was a weapon. Even drunk human bodies.

Ragnar swung his fist at a thug and pushed one backwards back into his chair.

"Time to go." Said Hans to his brother casually as he put the large plant decoration back inside a empty barrel.

"Aye!" Agreed Björn who was hiding behind the table from the food and drinks being thrown across the air. Dolores took cover and his herself under the bar.

The brawl continued on. A man jumped across the air and swung from chandelier. Women were fighting. And not just Hanna's women, but even the German harlots inside the pub.

Hanna shoved her way through the crowd until she reached the middle of the pub where her eyes confirmed it was truly Ragnar.

He was dueling with his sword in one hand and his bottle of beer in the other as he took sips between and even during the duel against the pirates and thugs.

Hanna quickly pulled out her sword and leaped forward as she fueled against the thugs and pirates, trying to make sure they kept their distance away from Ragnar even if he was too drunk to notice her being there.

Damien was caught in the brawl as well as a large thug punched him across the face and sent him to his back. He had been trying to keep up with the Princess making sure she was safe but lost her.

He quickly rose to his feet and with all his strength tackled the thug down.

Cassandra who had been drunk kissing a large and muscular thug pulled away from the kiss as she saw the madness going on inside.

"Oh looks like we're fighting. YAH!" Exclaimed Cassandra as she head butted the thug she had been kissing before pulling out her sword and joining the battle with her shield maidens.

Beer bottles were being thrown against the wall as Isabela the waitress tried to get out of the way. Kristoff noticed her and quickly ran forward to protect her from the drunk thieves.

"Stand behind me!" Exclaimed Kristoff as he kicked a drunk thug away as he shielded her. A pirate came running towards them with a barrel over his head but Kristoff punched the man across his face.

Another thug from the crowd came running drunk and with a chair over his head until suddenly a pile of flowers hit his face knocking him unconscious.

Kristoff tilted his head to the side in confusion wondering where that even came from.

"Should we keep moving?" Asked Isabela as she ducked her head again from a chair being thrown across the pub.

"Oh right!" Exclaimed Kristoff. Isabela quickly grabbed his hand and led him away.

Meanwhile Ragnar had pulled out his own sword from within the crowd and was dueling with several other men, holding his own quiet well. Even if he was drunk.

Hans was walking up the stairs with Björn following behind. A bottle was thrown across the pub but Hans ducked his head causally as it smashed the wall.

A thug came running downstairs to attack him but Björn grabbed the man and threw him out of the way easily, protecting his brother as they continued to walk up the stairs.

The two German woman Björn had begun sleeping with stepped outside the room. Afraid, naked and all as they covered their breasts.

"AHHH!" They both exclaimed with fear as they witnessed the chaos and held each other tightly.

A group of thugs came rushing at Hans and Björn again but Björn was quick enough to pull out his own sword and fight them off before pinning them to the ground.

"Nothing to worry about ladies! Just get back in the room! WHOAAAA!" Exclaimed Björn suddenly as the large thug who had been choking Hans earlier came from behind and picked him up.

But Björn quickly scrambled out of the way and dug his boot into the man's crotch causing him to grunt in pain and drop to his knees as the two German naked women screamed again and ran into the room.

A drunk man who was sitting on top of the balcony was drinking his beer happily as he witnessed the chaos and heard the friendly melody.

Hans walked next to him and grabbed the sailors hat from his head to try on himself. He smirked at the drunk man and then slapped him on the shoulder.

"Thanks mate." He said but his eyes widened when he realized he caused the man to accidentally fall backwards off the balcony.

There was a group of thugs and pirates who carrying a man and about to heave him off the balcony. They halted as soon as they saw Hans in front of them.

Hans took of the sailors hat and put it on the man they were about to heave.

"Carry on." Said Hans as he stepped backwards making space for them to continue.

"HEAVE!" Exclaimed the men as they threw the carried man off the balcony before he and Björn continued their way.

The fast paced music came to an end as Ragnar held his sword pointed at thugs he was dueling while still holding the bottle of rum in his left hand

"Come on, men! Who wants some? From an orderly line, I'll have you all one by one. Come on, who's first!?" He exclaimed drunkly.

Hanna who was listening to him from behind, finally sighed, rolled her eyes and grabbed the bottle of rum from Ragnar's hand before smashing it over his head, knocking him out cold.

The growling and fighting seized as they all stared at Hanna with confused expressions as she stood over the once threatening pirate.

"I just wanted the pleasure of doing that myself!" She proclaimed.

"YAAAHHHH!" The crowd cheered and everyone held up their mugs in a toast of celebration. Even thought they had all just been fighting one another.

Kristoff looked around in confusion as everyone cheered and laughed.

"Is.. is this normal?" He said with pressed brows.

"It's usually more common on the weekends around the afternoons or late evenings." Said Isabela as she dusted herself from all the food and beer that was thrown over their heads. "Well better get back to work. Thanks for your keeping me safe, guapo."

Kristoff watched in confusion as Isabela walked back to the bar with her cousin as if nothing had happened.

There was a group of men who had carried the unconscious Ragnar outside the pub before they heaved him into a mud hole full of pigs.

The drunk men all cheered and laughed before heading back inside the pub as the music began to play again.

All except Hanna who was standing beside the door as she slowly approached the grunting and weak pirate.

She bent down and wiped the mud from his face gently before moving his long brown hair from his face.

"Ragnar Sigurdson. What has the world done to you?" She said bitterly with a deep sigh.

Hans, Björn, Kristoff, Damien and a drunk Cassandra came to the door where Hanna was with the unconscious former vice admiral.

"Do you know this pirate?" Asked Damien with concern as he held the handle of his sword just in case.

"He's no pirate. He's Ragnar Sigurdson." Said Hanna as she continued to watch over the unconscious man.

"Are you sure because that looks like a pirate to me." Argued Damien.

"He was my vice admiral." Said Hans as he looked at his former comrade.

"He was your vice admiral?" Asked Kristoff with widened eyes.

"I thought he was supposed to be dead." Said Björn who stood next to Hans.

"That's what Kaleb led me to believe." Sighed Hans as he stepped forward to stand next to his sister.

"Great so he's your vice admiral. Now can you slap some sense into him before he causes another ruckus." Said Damien. "Why is he not in the navy? And why is he dressed as a pirate anyways?"

"It's a long story." Said Hans shaking his head. "And as for the question regarding the pirate well.. I don't know."

"What do we do then? We can't just leave him out here." Said Björn.

"Sure we can. As far as I can see he's a threat to you and your brother. He wanted to kill you both." Said Damien.

"Ragnar is family." Said Hanna rather boldly as she turned to face Damien and the rest of the group. "We grew up with him. He and my brother were the best of friends. We will not just leave him here."

Damien furrowed his brows at how passionate Hanna sounded as she said that.

"What do we do then? I'm not sure they'll let him back inside. Isabela says they have a strict policy one must wait twenty four hours before heading back inside." Said Kristoff.

"Oooo who's Isabela?" Winked Cassandra as Kristoffs eyes widened.

"I'll stay with him and watch over him." Said Hanna.

"Hanna are you sure-"

"I'm sure. Besides you still need to find someone who can help navigate us to the missing soldiers." Said Hanna.

Hans nodded before they all left one by one all except Damien who stayed behind. He watched as Hanna was attending Ragnar's head to see if she hadn't hit him as hard as she thought.

Damien set down his gear and unbuckled his belt that held his sword before setting it on the ground.

Hanna looked up at him and then back at Ragnar. "You don't have to stay you know."

"How can I not? Look where we're at." Said Damien gesturing to the loud pub. "Men are most dangerous in these places. Especially towards women."

"Believe me I can take care of myself." Smirked Hanna as she removed the small pieces broken glasses of Ragnar's hair and head.

"Yeah I can see that." Sighed Damien as he looked away.

"Since you're going to stay here. Do you mind helping me tie some bandage on him while I hold his head?" She asked.

Damien liked at her sparkling emerald eyes before nodding as he bent forward and grabbed the bandage as he wrapped it around this mysterious man he'd never met in his life.

"Well. That was something." Sighed Björn as they made their way back to the bar where Dolores was filling up more beer into the empty mugs.

"That's the Snuggling Duckling for you." Replied Hans as they turned to Tadashi who was returning with the league members. "How'd it go?"

"Why is it that wherever you go you being chaos." Said Tadashi bitterly as he massaged his sore neck from the fighting.

Even a few of his former league members had slight bruises on their faces. It was clear they too were trapped in the middle of the brawl.

"It's my curse." Shrugged Hans.

"Some curse." Scoffed Tadashi. "And unfortunately for you we've found no leads. You'd have better luck asking the villagers at this point."

"God damn it." Muttered Hans under his breath as his closed fist made contact with the table bar in frustration.

"I'm sorry brother. We're just going to have to find out another way I suppose." Sighed Björn slapping his brothers back as he grabbed the mug of beer Dolores had just filled up and chugged it down. "Now if you'll excuse me."

"Where are you going?" Asked Hans with furrowed brows as he looked at his brother who was heading to the stairs.

"Hans, come on. Take the night off already. Look we'll get right back to work tomorrow morning. But right now we all need to rest especially after what went down tonight. It's been a long past couple of weeks." Replied Björn as he stood next to the staircase.

"Of course. I forgot. You have the harlots waiting for you upstairs." Said Hans with rolled eyes.

"And one for you too. Come on it's not too late to make up your mind?" Said Björn with a smirk trying to tempt his brother.

"Good night brother." Said Hans turning away as he shook his head.

Björn smiled and headed up the stairs quickly.

"We're going to head out too." Said Tadashi suddenly.

"What! Why?" Argued Hans.

"We landed a quick inside job from someone in the pub here. He's paying us 2500 deutsche marks to teach his brother in law a lesson never to lay a hand on his sister and her kids again." Said Tadashi as Hans followed Tadashi's eyes to a man who was waiting next to the door impatiently and somewhat nervous.

"Seems like an easy job." Said Hans looking back to Tadashi as he took a sip of his beer.

"It is and the pay is fair." Said Tadashi.

"Want me to come along?" Asked Hans with a brow raised.

"No. We're already splitting the money between us as it is. Why do we need a sixth mouth to feed?" Said Tadashi as he and the league members began to walk away.

"Hey on a serious note Tadashi. I need your help brother. I need to find a lead that can give me information about Lars or the missing soldiers." Said Hans.

"I've asked every pirate I could possibly see, Hans. None of them have any leads. Of course I'm willing to try again for a better ransom than what the man is paying us." Said Tadashi.

"Not a prince anymore, I'm as poor as you now." Sighed Hans resting his elbows on the table bar.

"I thought so." Said Tadashi with a small smirk before turning to leave with the man who was anxiously waiting at the door for them.

Hans sighed heavily as he turned back to the bar and took another drink of his mug.

"Well looks like all your friends left you." Said Dolores smiling before looking at Kristoff. "Except him of course."

Both Hans and Kristoff scoffed and mocked each other loudly at hearing that.

"We're not friends." Said Hans.

"Yeah no." Agreed kristoff.

"More like enemies."

"Agreed."

Dolores looked at the two of them with widened eyes and a devious smirk and her arms crossed together as she made the adorable squeak noise with her mouth again. "I can feel some tense history between the two of you."

"You could say something like that." Said Hans with his brows raised sarcastically as he took a sip of his beer again.

"Well tell me then. What happened?" Asked Dolores leaned forward with her chin resting on her fist as she smiled at the two of them eagerly waiting.

"It's nothing. Just some stupid-"

"Oh really? So now it's stupid." Said Kristoff.

Hans rolled his eyes and groaned. "Jesus will you get over it already? It's been four damn years!"

"I have a story for you two." Said Dolores suddenly as they turned to look at her. "There was a time where I was in love with a man, the man of my dreams, but he was betrothed to another."

"AH-CHOO!"

The three turned to where Isabela had sneezed while cleaning a few last cups. She looked over and saw them staring.

"What?" Asked Isabela with a shrug as she wiped her nose and headed back out to the crowd with a new order on the tray.

"To my prima for the matter of fact." Added Dolores after Isabela had left.

"Hold on. You were in love with you're cousins betrothed?" Asked Hans with a brow raised.

"Oh yes. He was about to propose and everything." Said Dolores.

"He basically did." Added Isabela from the back.

"Okay... what happened-" Said Kristoff confused at the story until suddenly Dolores cut him off and continued speaking.

"...But then, one day, let's just say everything changed. And I was able to be with that man. We dated all summer and fall but then something happened that... made me realize we needed some time apart to figure things out." Dolores explained.

"What happened?" Kristoff asked.

"He wanted to get married as soon as we got together. I mean he proposed to me on our first date. And every month after!" Dolores said as if it was a dramatic reveal.

"And you said "no"? Didn't you say he was the "Man of your dreams"?" Asked Hans with furrowed eyes as he and Kristoff began to drink from their mug again.

"I may have been infatuated with him, but I wasn't gonna just rush into marriage with him until I knew more about him! I mean, ugh, what kind of woman would be stupid enough to say "yes" to a marriage proposal from a man she barely knows?" Dolores said with crossed arms.

"MMNF! COUGH! COUGH!" The two men choked on their drinks at Dolores' comment because they did, indeed, know a woman who had done that.

"You two okay?" Dolores asked.

Hans cleared his throat. "Yeah, we're fine."

"Anyways, what was your story earlier about?" Dolores asked.

"Okay well, long story, short, I proposed to a princess to get closer to the throne, that fell apart, and that princess, now queen, is engaged to this guy." Hans summarized, gesturing to Kristoff.

"was engaged."

Hans' eyes widened.

"What did you-?"

"Queen Anna and I are no longer engaged." Kristoff confessed.

Hans was speechless, even Dolores was stunned.

"Hold on. So that Princess you mislead to believing she was in love with you is actually his fiancé!?" Said Dolores with dramatic and widened eyes.

A huge and dramatic gasp came from Isabela as she ran forward next and leaned over next to her equally shocked cousin. "No me digas!" She proclaimed in Spanish.

"Why? What happened?" Asked Hans with furrowed brows.

"Wouldn't you like to know." Scoffed Kristoff.

"Yes actually I would." Retaliated Hans.

Kristoff was quiet for a moment as he spun the mug of beer around before finally answering.

"When Anna and I first started dating, everything seemed perfect. We were happy. But then, when we got engaged, I had to start following royal protocols, wear fancy, uncomfortable clothes, and attend meet and greets with other royals. I mean it was a pain in the ass. I was living her life not mine.

I wanted to tell Anna how much I hated it all. But... I didn't. And when I finally confessed to her, she gave me back the ring I proposed with, we had a huge fight and that was the end of it." Kristoff explained.

"Oh wow.. so things between the two of you did not end well then." Said Dolores who was still leaned over the bar with Isabela. Both of them amused by the story.

"We're just not right for each other. We never were. A Queen and an ice harvester? It was never meant to be." Sighed Kristoff as he finished drinking the last of the beer in the mug.

Isabela stared at Kristoff with worried eyes until she heard someone yell for their order.

"I better get back to work.. I'll be back though guapo. Still need to here more of that story!" Said Isabela as she grabbed the tray of drinks and food and ran off.

Hans didn't know what to say. He never imagined that they of all people would have ended their engagement and in such a bad way.

Dolores reached for Kristoff empty mug awkwardly.

"So now you know the truth." Said Kristoff as he continued to look down.

"I.. I just don't understand. You two seemed like you completed each other. I mean a royal wouldn't just marry any peasant unless they really loved them. Believe me I know.." Said Hans.

"Yeah so do I." Muttered Kristoff.

"I don't think you do. I mean Jesus don't you understand almost all royals are betrothed or are to be betrothed at some point in their life-"

"I know!" Hissed Kristoff before taking another deep sigh. "Trust me I know. I've read all the books, sat through all the meaningless classes. Trust me I know."

The two of them turned their attention to Dolores who had reached under the counter and pulled out two small glasses with an untouched bottle of liquor. Never before opened.

"Here." She said as she slid the two glasses to the two of them. "You boys need something stronger. Especially you."

"But we don't have enough money to pay for this. This looks expensive." Said Kristoff as he grabbed the glass.

"It is expensive. This is korn. One of Germanys strongest drinks. Very delicious to the taste too." Said Hans as he examined the bottle.

"It's on the house." Said Dolores with crossed arms.

Hans popped the bottle open before pouring it to the two small glasses Dolores gave to them. He slid one towards Kristoff who grabbed it with his hands.

"Look. I hate you. And it's safe to say that you hate me too." Said Hans.

"You can say that again." Said Kristoff rolling his eyes.

"But regardless of what I did. You have to understand that I never wished failure upon you or Anna. I truly thought you two were.. made for each other." Said Hans. "Which sounds stupid hearing that from my own mouth. I don't believe in that soulmate bullshit."

"Mhmm. You're right about that." Agreed Dolores before she turned around and got back to work.

"No you're right. You're absolutely right.. for once." Said Kristoff as Hans rolled his eyes. "There's no such thing as soulmates."

"Correct." Nodded Hans.

"Or love." Added Kristoff.

"Yeah-well.. look you're going through a heartbreak right now. In the middle of a war for crying out loud. Of course you'll feel like there's no such thing as love." Said Hans as he lifted up his glass.

"I suppose." Sighed Kristoff as he tapped the glass with his fingers.

"Look. We can remain enemies for the rest of our lives if you want. But for now. At least until this wars over can we just bury the hatchet and try to make it out alive from this pestilential war." Said Hans as he raised his glass higher towards Kristoff.

Kristoff looked at Hans and then at his poured glass before grabbing it.

"To enemies." Said Hans as he offered a toast.

Kristoff smirked. "To enemies."

Clink!

Hans took the shot of alcohol all in one go and with ease. Kristoff on the other hand was not so successful.

"COUGH-COUGH! AGH!" He choked out as he gasped for air. "What the hell is that!?"

"Korn. I told you it's Germany's strongest. Of course I'm still more of a fan of mead or rum." Said Hans as he turned to Dolores. "Darling, you wouldn't happen to have some rum on you would you?"

"What kind of question is that? Of course there's rum in the snuggling duckling!" Said Dolores as she pulled out a fresh bottle of rum and slid it towards Hans.

Kristoff continued to choke in the background.

Hans popped open the rum and leaned his nose over the opening of the bottle as he inhaled deeply. "Ah. Fresh rum. Now that's more like it."

"Jesus that was terrible." Said Kristoff as he cleared his throat.

"Here. We'll try rum this time. Let me know what you think. It's very sweet and has a taste of vanilla to it." Said Hans as he gave a glass full of rum to Kristoff.

Kristoff took the glass and they both touched glass once more before taking another shot.

Clink!

"COUGH!AGH! Thats worse! COUGH! COUGH-" Exclaimed Kristoff.

"Ah you'll get used to it. We'll switch drinks every shot we take." Said Hans as he poured himself a glass of Korn this time.

Kristoff cleared his throat as he looked up to see Isabela walking back to the bar with a empty tray.

"Ooohh. Looks like someone is getting the night started. Good drink choices guapo." Said Isabela flashing a smile at him.

Kristoff watched her walk back into the crowd of the pub with more food and drinks in her hands.

A small smirk appeared in the corner of his lips as he watched the way she moved her hips side to side every time she walked.

"I can't blame you there." Said Hans as Kristoffs eyes widened. He turned to face him to see he was pouring more rum to his glass and Kristoffs.

"Huh? Wha-what are you taking about?" Asked Kristoff with flustered cheeks.

"Come on what do you have to be embarrassed about. You're a single man after all and she's very beautiful." Said Hans as he took another shot of rum. "Now hurry up and drink up. You're falling behind."

Kristoff looked down to his glass of rum he hadn't finished and was moving it close to his lips when something came to his mind.

"Hey what does guapo mean?" Asked Kristoff to Dolores with his Norwegian accent.

"He hasn't told you?" Chuckled Dolores with a grin as she gestured at Hans.

"Hasn't told me what?" Asked Kristoff with a confused expression.

"I haven't told him." Said Hans who was pouring himself a glass of Korn.

"Guapo means handsome in Spanish." Smirked Dolores before turning around and pouring more drinks.

Kristoff looked towards Isabela who was entertaining the men as she walked past them with a empty tray in her hand while smiling at them.

She saw Kristoff from the corner of her eye and flashed a grin at him before following it up with a wink.

"Hmm." Said Kristoff as he turned around and smirked before taking a shot of the poured rum.

This time not at all burning his mouth.

Arendelle Castle

The castle doors barged open, letting in the brutal and freezing breeze as snow fell to the rug and floor. The staff who were finishing cleaning for the night were startled by the sudden intrusion.

Kai, Gerda and other staff members looked towards the doors with pressed brows. Queen Anna entered first with Queen Elsa following behind as they removed the hooded coats over their heads that were covered in snow.

"You're Majesties." Said Kai as he stepped forward with a respectful bow. Suddenly his eyes widened when he noticed others following behind.

Honeymaren and Ryder followed the sister inside as they dusted the snow off their reindeer skin coats. Then soon enough they witnessed the large number of warriors enter.

All of them wearing the same coats, holding their staffs in hand with their own reindeer fur covered travelling bags.

All of the staff had surprised expressions in their faces. Even the guards were astonished by the surprise visitors and the large number.

"You're Majesties?" Repeated Kai with a questionable tone in his voice.

"Kai. Please have our staff prepare all the rooms in our castle for our welcomed guests." She said as she removed her coat and handed it to a maid nearby.

"I-I was not aware we had guests coming Queen Anna-" Said Kai slipping over his words.

"Not your fault at all, Kai. I'm just delivering the news to you as we speak. Oh. And please prepare in a dinner for all of us. I understand it's past your shift but you will be paid overtime plus a generous bonus for your service tonight." Explained Anna as Elsa stepped forward and stood next to her.

It took a moment for Kai to register what Anna had said. He and the other staff watched as the young Northuldrans pointed at paintings and the painted ceilings. Honeymaren and Ryder have been to the castle before but not the rest of Norhuldra besides Yelena.

"Kai?" Asked Anna again.

Kai quickly turned to Anna gain. "Uhh y-yes. Yes of course, Queen Anna." The rest of the staff quickly nodded their heads and agreed.

"Very well." Smiled Anna before turning to the Northuldrans. "Please make yourselves at home. Kai and my staff will show you to your rooms and we will call you when it is time to eat."

The kitchen staff quickly made their way back into the kitchen they had just cleaned up.

Honeymaren turned to their large army and said a few words in their native language before they all made their way to Kai who was waiting at the stairs.

"Shall we go talk in my studies?" Said Anna as she walked up to Honeymaren who nodded as she and her brother followed Anna down the hall.

"Kai one more favor." Said Elsa as she walked towards the head castle keeper.

"Yes you're Majesty?" Asked Kai as he guided many Norhudlrans up the stairs.

"Please fetch General Mattias and have him meet us at my fathers quarters. We need to discuss a few things with him." She said.

"Of course. It shall be done, your majesty." Said Kai a he nodded. Elsa smiled and nodded back as she quickly caught up to Anna and the Northuldrna siblings. Leaving a confused castle staff back on duty.

Anna laid the large Scandinavian map on her fathers large study desk. All four of them surrounded the large desk as they leaned over to look at the map.

"Is this a map of the world?" Asked Ryder.

"Not all of it. Just ours." Answered Elsa.

"Okay so here is Arendelle. Here is where we are at." Said Anna as she pointed at the Arendellian castle with the word Arendelle underneath. "We're at the very South of Norway. Now our borders cover all the way to the North sea. And west of that is your home, Northdulra." She said as she dragged her finger across to the left side of the map before stopping at a forest colored map where the word Northudlra territory was written.

Honeymaren learned a little closer and focused on the maps as she took in the information with her elbows on the desk.

"And where is Sweden?" She asked.

"Over here on the east side of the country." Said Anna as she dragged her finger across all of Norway before stopping at Stockholm, Sweden.

"Whoa.." Said Honeymaren surprised as she slowly stood up straight again. "We aren't close to them at all."

"Exactly." Nodded Anna with focused eyes and a smirk. "This is why Northuldra can help us defend Arendelle."

"There is only one route for them to come at us and that is through the North Sea which is already heavily guarded by us and the Southern Isles." Explained Elsa as she dragged her finger across the North Sea route. "And even if they tried sailing further west to sneak behind us they would only be running into a trap again."

"Because they'd be landing right at the border of Arendelle and Northuldra." Said Honeymarne with realization as she pointed her finger right at the drawing of the dam where it once stood.

"Precisely." Nodded Anna with a smile again. "Now you see why Northudlra is fundamental for this victory. No one knows the forest better than you and your people."

"With this strategy it'll only force Lars's hand to fall back. When he sees how many men he is losing pointlessly and with no advance he'll have no option but to turn back." Explained Elsa.

"Hold on." Said Ryder with his arms crossed as he raised his hand. "I'm still confused at the fact that Arendelle is at the south side of Norway yet close to the North sea.. I mean how does that even make sense?"

"It's just geography. Scandinavia is all of northern Europe. Even Northulra. Therefore we live in the north." Explained Elsa calmly with a smile.

"Oh.. Wait hold on now I'm even more confused." Said Ryder shaking his head.

"Hey! Can you focus back on the topic of discussion? We're trying to win a war here!" Hissed Honeymaren at her twin brother.

"What, I just-"

Knock-Knock.

"Enter." Said Anna as she stood up straight. They all glanced at the large doors the knock had come from.

"You're Majesties." Entered Kai with a respectful nod. "General Mattias as you requested."

The old general entered in with his hand behind his back as he respectfully bowed before them. "You're majesties."

"General. Thank you for joining us. We know it's so late in the evening." Said Elsa.

"It's not a bother at all, your majesty." He answered.

"Oh ho! Well look who it is. We haven't seen you in a while have we?" Said Ryder with a smirk.

"Ryder. Honeymaren." Said the general as he addressed the two with a nod.

"Mattias." Answered Honeymaren just as serious as him.

"General Mattias, actually." He corrected her.

'Eh, sounds boring. You're still Mattias to us." She said as the general sighed.

"Thank you for joining us, general." Smiled Anna. "Now as we were saying-"

"You're majesties if I may-" Said Kai suddenly as they all turned to him. "It's just the castle staff is full of questions and concerns."

"What concerns Kai?" Asked Anna with furrowed brows.

"We were just not aware we had many guests coming over today. We saw the weapons they hold and we just want to know if we should be prepared for something." He explained.

"The Northudlra are our allies and they have agreed to aid us against Sweden. All the young men and women you saw have all volunteered to take up their weapons in our cause." Explained Anna.

"So the war is coming.." Said Kai.

"And very quickly. But that is why we are here at my fathers quarters late at night. To prepare and be ready." Said Anna. "And I'll make sure I protect Arendelle with my life."

Kai nodded slowly as he looked up at the two sisters again.

"Please inform the staff they have nothing to be afraid of. We shall protect them." Reassured Elsa.

"Of course, your majesties." Nodded Kai respectfully before he closed the door, leaving the four of them to go over more plans.

The Snuggling Duckling

The pub continued to riot through the night. There was no sign of slowing down the wild nature and the drinking. Not even the musicians seemed tired enough.

Hanna and Damien were sitting on the ground and keeping an eye on the unconscious Ragnar and the two had engaged in friendly conversation through the night while the family of pigs nearby made themselves comfortable to sleep.

Damien had stepped into the pub to grab something to drink. With all the loud noise going on there was no way they were getting sleep. Or at least him anyways.

Even bullets and swords clashing was more soothing to sleep through the night rather than hearing the drunk men and women.

"Hey there what can I get for you?" Asked Dolores the bartender as she turned to Damien who was approaching the bar.

"Can I get a bottle of wine?" Asked Damien as he made his way in the middle of Kristoff and Hans who were still downing shots down.

Hans brows furrowed when he heard the strange order.

"Ooohhh wine. Who's the lucky girl?" Teased Dolores.

"Huh?" N-no no one! No at all!" Said Damien with widened eyes as his cheeks suddenly flustered.

"Oh come on you. No man orders wine unless he has a girl he's sharing it with." Teased Dolores again with a brow raised.

"No! I'm just ordering because.. I just need-"

"I got this Dolores." Said Hans as he reached over the bar and grabbed a fresh bottle of rum from the bottom counter. "Here."

"Rum?" Asked Damien as he read the bottle.

"Everything is better than rum. My sister likes rum too. After all Why get wine when you aren't on a date or anything. Right." Said Hans firmly at the end.

Damien looked at Hans who was staring at Damien calmly but his emerald eyes were clearly alarmed and focus as if he was looking through his soul.

How did he know he was with his sister in the first place?

Dolores eyes widened. She had been completely teasing the lieutenant. She didn't however expect him to be sharing the wine with Hans sister.

Kristoff eyes widened as he took another shot.

"Thanks for the rum." Said Damien as he turned to leave before facing Kristoff. "Don't get too drunk soldier." He muttered to Kristoff before he walked away as Hans watched him leave.

"Wow." Said Dolores as she leaned over at the bar again. "Whoever knew you were so protective of your sister. Not even my own brother would do that for me. In fact total opposite, I'd be the one protecting him."

"Yeesh way to be subtle. You really think Damien would do anything to your sister? He's a good guy and focused on the mission. I'm pretty sure the last thing on his mind is getting at your sister." Said Kristoff as he took another shot.

"Have you seen his sister? She's mesmerizing. A true beauty indeed." Said Dolores.

"I'm not the one he should be worried about." Said Hans as he poured himself more liquor. "My sister can protect herself."

"Than why were you so threatening?" Asked Dolores.

"I wasn't threatening. Just reminding him I'm still her brother. And if Hanna tells me someone wronged her and to kill them." Said Hans as he rose the glass to his lips. "Let's just say I won't hesitate."

Dolores and Kristoff looked at Hans with worry before they looked at each other as he downed the shot in one gulp while he continued to watch Damien disappear into the large crowd.

"Rum?" Asked Damien as he appeared again with the bottle extended.

"Hey! Great choice. How'd you know I liked rum?" Asked Hanna as she grabbed the bottle.

"Lucky guess.."Muttered Damien as he cleared his throat awkwardly before he sat back down.

"Did you get the glasses?" Asked Hanna.

"Oh crap I forgot.. here let me just go-"

"No no don't bother the bartender we can just share." Said Hanna as she popped the bottle open.

"Are you sure?" Asked Damien with pressed brows.

"What? You scared I'm carrying some sort of disease? I'm very clean I assure you." Teased Hanna.

"No! No! I don't think that at all. I just wanted to be sure you were okay with that." Said Damien.

"Very okay." Smiled Hanna as she brought her lips to the bottle and took a drink before handing it to Damien.

He retrieved the bottle and he too took a drink of the rum. Her lips left a beautiful scent.

They shared the bottle back and forth for almost an hour as they continued in conversation. They talked about anything and everything that came to their mind.

Damien would almost forget what they had just talked about because he was so into their friendly conversation.

"Hey buddy." Said Hanna as she gently patted a pig who was walking past her.

"I'm surprised they'll be able to sleep through the night with all that ruckus." Said Damien as they watched the pigs pile on top of each other.

"You'd be surprised. Pigs are pretty heavy sleepers. Sometimes even the sound of a firearm is hard to wake them up." Said Hanna as they looked at the pigs.

"You seem to know quiet a lot about animals don't you?" Asked Damien.

"My mother was a farmer. My father gifted my mother her very own private land of the shores of the Southern Isles. She'd always take my brother and I there to spend time and attend the flocks." Said Hanna as she took another drink.

Damien's brows raised up with surprise. "I'm.. surprised. You're mother Queen Nora was a farmer then?"

"She might have been queen by title but she was a farm girl by heart." Smiled Hanna somberly as she reflected on her memories. "She always surprised my father by how hard of a worker she could be, especially when attending animals. It was hysterical seeing him come with us to her farm. He acted like a lost pup stranded in an island."

Damien pressed his lips with a small smirk. "Simple times huh?"

"Happier times." Sighed Hanna as she looked up to the stars that were out. "Those were the days when Hans was truly happy. When he used to smile.."

Damien stayed quiet for a moment, not sure what to say to that at all.

"I'm sorry." Smiled Hanna as she looked at Damien again. "I got too carried away there. I'm sure you don't need to know any of that."

"No no! That's not it at all, Princess Hanna. In fact I am very intrigued. It's.. nice to hear the stories you tell." He said.

Hanna smiled. "Well enough about me. How about you?"

"How about me what?" Asked Damien with surprise.

"Well I know you joined the army and guard because you were inspired by your uncle but surely you had a life before all of this right?" Said Hanna as she gestured to her surroundings. "Or did you always dream of spending your night at the most notorious bar in Germany with the pigs."

A small chuckled escaped Damien's lips. "Yes that's exactly what I always dreamed of. While attending the wounds of a drunk disgraced vice admiral turned pirate."

"I knew it." Said Hanna sarcastically as they smiled at each other.

"Minus the sharing a bottle of rum with the Princess part I never expected that." Said Damien as he gave the bottle of rum back to Hanna.

"Everything is better with rum. That's what sailors say anyways." Said Hanna as she grabbed the bottle and began to drink again.

Damien smiled as he watched Hanna drink the rum. They talked for what seemed hours. And with each drink they took, the tipsier they became.

"So do you plan on taking the early retirement? Being in the military does give you that option after all." Said Hanna.

"I don't know. Retiring at forty seems a little easy doesn't it?" Answered Damien. "Besides I don't see myself retiring. And I have no plans to."

"So you're just going to serve in the military till the day you die?" Asked Hanna. They were closer to each other.

"I'm a soldier. I was born to be a soldier, molded to be a soldier. I will always be a soldier." Said Damien as he took another sip.

Maybe… maybe you don't have to be." Said Hanna as Damien turned to look at her. "Maybe you could be more."

They looked into each others eyes. Hanna had very emerald eyes but seeing them this close and in person was like she was staring into the planets in the skies.

They were mesmerizing.

They leaned close to each others face and maybe it was the alcohol in their system or the exhaustion they carried that suddenly made them do what they least expected.

They kissed.

It was a surprising, drunken and yet intentional kiss all at the same time. They pulled away from the kiss as they looked at each other with widened eyes. Both of them surprised by what they had just done.

"I have to go." Said Hanna suddenly as she quickly rose up to her feet and disappeared into the crowd.

"Wait! Hanna- Uff!" Exclaimed Damien as he suddenly tripped over himself. He was drunk and his body was telling him the same thing.

He leaned his head back on the fence he had been leaning his back against and looked up to the stars as he rubbed his face in embarrassment.

"What have I done.." He muttered.

Meanwhile Kristoff was pouring himself what seemed his one hundredth shot of rum and korn. At times he was even mixing it.

"Mmmooorrreee!" Said Kristoff drunkly.

"Easy there big guy. Gotta slow down once in a while." Said Hans as he took the glass from Kristoffs hand.

"You're no fun." Said Kristoff rolling his eyes before he was overcome by a large hiccup.

Dolores approached Hans. "You sure know how to hold your drink down. Can't say the same about your friend though."

Hans and Dolores looked towards Kristoff who was starting to hold himself still from the dizzines.

"Us Danish drink often. Even as children our father has us try a drink for the holidays." Said Hans.

"What an interesting culture." Said Dolores with a smile as she began to clean the table bar with a damped cloth.

"Mmmm.." Groaned Krisotff as his head collided on the table bar. His eyes were droopy and his blonde hair over his face.

"You've given up yet?" Said Hans as he took another shot of rum.

"Mmm mm mm-"

"What? What did you say?" Asked Hans with a brow raised.

"Mmm" Groaned Kristoff again as he lifted his head. His expression seemed very depressive. "She's gone Hans.."

"Who?" Asked Hans with pressed brows.

"Anna.. She's gone forever.."

Hans sighed heavily while rolling his eyes.

"I was so stupid. Why the hell did I believe I could possibly end up with someone as perfect as her. And a queen nonetheless!" He exclaimed drunkily.

"Kristoff-"

"She should have just married you man.." He said facing him.

"What? Kristoff what the hell are you talking about?" Asked Hans.

"I mean let's face it she would have been way happier with you, even if your intentions were wrong. At least she'd have a royal that would understand her and be happy to live life inside that bloody castle." He said as he hiccuped.

"Kirstoff snap out of it. You're drunk!" Exclaimed Hans.

"I'm honest when I'm drunk.." groaned Kristoff as he looked up to the candles lights hanging from the ceiling. "Love is dead."

"All right that's enough alcohol for you." Said Hans as he grabbed his glass and the bottles before handing it to Dolores. "Now listen I know it may seem the world is ending-"

"The world IS ending! We're in a war, we can't find the soldiers, we're in the middle of this God forsaken pub. It's colder than the ice age and Anna.." Kristoff sighed as suddenly tears began to form in his eyes. "My Anna is no more."

"Oh for Christs sake." Said Hans as he pinched the bridge of his nose before grabbing Kristoffs shoulder tightly. "Get a grip, Kristoff!"

"How can I.. when my heart feels like it shattered into a million pieces." He said as his voice cracked in the end.

"You're a handsome guy, Kristoff and you have great qualities.. I think. Look if Anna doesn't want to understand you or have anything to do with you anymore than forget her man!" Said Hans.

"She's hard to forget. Shes so beautiful. She's forged into my brain.." sighed Kristoff.

"There are plenty of fish out in the sea, Kristoff. You just have to find the right one for you." Said Hans.

"My soulmate? Anna was soulmate-"

"No! Jesus. No. There's no such thing as soulmate and forget Anna already. You get to decide now who you want to be with." Said Hans as Kristoff continued to listen to him with his jaw dropped drunkinly. "You'll find the right one for you but until then fish around."

"Fish around?" Asked Kristoff.

"You know date around, meet new women find the things you like about them, hate about them and then move on. And eventually when the time is right you'll find her." Said Hans.

"You really think so?" Asked Kristoff with sincereness.

"I know so." Said Hans as he patted his back before returning to his chair. "Now get a grip before you puke all the alcohol out."

Kristoff turned to look at Isabela who was returning with another empty tray. He blinked several times as he stared at her dumbfounded.

"We'll that completes my shift." Said Isabela to her cousin Dolores. Both of them speaking in Spanish.

"Yeah I'm almost out of here I just gotta dry a few more mugs and then I'm out of here too." Said Dolores.

Isabela was washing her hands when she suddenly turned to Kristoff. She noticed he had been staring at her.

"How you feeling amor?" She asked with a gentle smile.

"Much better now that you're here." Smiled Kristoff clumsingly.

The Southern Isles

King Soren walked through the halls of the castle. He came up to window and looked out it. He wouldn't show it in his face, but hewas very concerned for his sons' safety.

He also still had that feeling in his chest, the feeling that something was about to happen...

---

The Snuggling Duckling

"So that's my story." Said Kristoff as he reached over the counter and pulled out rum and a new glass to serve himself but Isabela grabbed his hand.

They were both sitting on the high chairs.

"No no no. That's enough alcohol for you." She said smiling at him.

"It's never enough.. but enough about me, tell me about you." Said Kristoff as he breathed in and tried to focus on her.

"What would you like to know." She said smiling at him with her elbow rested at the bar.

"Well I know you're cousin was dating your ex right?" Asked Kristoff.

"He wasn't my ex." Chuckled Isabella. "We were betrothed to marry each other."

"Really? Hold on. You're a princess.." asked Kristoff with widened eyes.

"No silly!" Chuckled Isabela again. "Our families were wanting to set us up. You see my family in Colombia is rather.. famous. I guess that's a way to put it."

"I thought arranged marriages only happened with royals." Said Kristoff.

"You'd be surprised. A lot of the times in my country they happen for business matters, land, or even to unite the family more. And well since my family is an important figure back in Encanto, Colombia-"

"Naturally marrying into your family gave you more status then." Said Kristoff finishing for her.

"Amongst other things." Said Isabela cleaning her throat as she took a sip of her own wine she poured for herself.

"And so now you're single, living in Europe temporarily and working. What do you want from your life? If I may ask.." asked Kristoff.

"I don't know." Said Isabela as she tapped her chin pondering the question. "I always grew up with someone at the other end of my strings controlling what I say and how to behave. My Abuela had already implied in my mind marriage and kids. Even since I was a child. And truth be told the thought of having kids terrified me. And now that I'm free to choose well.. I don't know what I want."

"You're just following where life takes you then." Said Kristoff.

"Exactly! Following where life may take me. And so far it's brought me here. In Germany. Corona. In the Snuggling Duckling enjoying time with you." She said flashing a beautiful smile at him.

"You have a nice smile." Said Kristoff grinning. His eyes suddenly widened when he realized what he had just said. "Oh my God. I'm sorry I didn't mean-"

"Why are you sorry? You meant what you said right?" Asked Isabela.

"Well yes but-"

"Then don't feel sorry at all. I like compliments from men." Smiled Isabela. "Especially if they come from you."

Kristoff smiled again as he watched Isabela run her fingers through her jet black hair. He'd never seen such dark and long hair before in his life.

"How is Colombia like? I mean don't you miss it?" He asked suddenly.

"Colombia is beautiful. Full of vast mountains, trees and forests as far as the eye can see. Greenery all over you with the most beautiful flowers. You'd ever see." She said as she looked away and used her hands to talk. "Our buildings are colorful, our streets are clean and always busy. The food is delicious. But it's the people I miss most."

"Are the people as lively and beautiful as you." Smirked Kristoff.

Isabela chuckled as she gently slapped Kristoffs shoulder.

"The people of Colombia are gritty and optimistic, and filled with positivity and hope. We are friendly and always have joy. An enthusiasm for life and we are always quick to smile." She finished explaining as she took a deep sigh. "My words don't do it justice. If you ever get a chance to visit my country you'd never want to leave."

Kristoff smiled as he looked down to the floor. The thought of that did sound nice. A new beginning and in a completely new world.

Hans had been glancing at Kristoff and Isabela here and there from time to time. He had to hand it to him. He was talking with Isabela so easily and he could tell she was very intrigued by him.

Then again Kristoff was drunk so that was helping.

"They seem to be enjoying their time together." Said Dolores suddenly as she leaned on the bar again.

"It seems that way." Nodded Hans. "Is you're cousin always this way towards men?"

"Only if she likes them." Said Dolores winking at him. "She's so used to getting all the attention anyways."

"Really?" Asked Hans.

"Oh yeah. Back at home she's the golden child. La favorita. The favorite of the family. And men go crazy over her." Said Dolores.

"Hmm. I'm surprised you don't say the same about you." Said Hans.

"Shes the oldest of my siblings and cousins. Her and I are a year apart so I've always grown up in her shadow, even if we don't have that big of age difference." Said Dolores.

"I'm surprised you seem so at ease explaining it. Usually most families have envy or jealousy between one another." Said Hans.

"When we were little I was. But I've gotten so used to it and just accepted myself for who I am." Said Dolores.

"You're very confident." Said Hans with a surprised expression.

"And lots of other things too." She said winking at him before removing the cloth from her shoulder and folding it before putting it away.

"You off?" Asked Hans.

"That's right. Another day of work completed. Good thing too. Today was busy." Said Dolores as she moved her neck in circles and relaxed her shoulders."

"So where you headed now?" Asked Hans.

"Well that depends on my cousin. From the looks of it it seems we'll be spending the night here." Said Dolores as she and Hans looked over to Isabela who rested her hand on Kristoffs lap while laughing loudly. "Yeah we're probably staying here."

"Does this usually happen?" Asked Hans.

"Oh God no. She refuses to get with people at the bar. Especially with the people around here that come in and out. She tried it a couple times and said it wasn't the greatest. But the way she's behaving towards your friend.. that's a first I've seen." Said Dolores.

"So where do you guys stay at if not here?" Asked Hans.

"A inn just a couple of minutes away. Her and I rent our own private room. It works for now." Said Dolores shrugging.

"Well why don't you come sit down, you seem tired. I have to watch over this guy anyways in case he acts up." Said Hans

"Trust me he's in safe hands, Isabela seems to like him." Said Dolores smiling at him.

"Well in that case how about I make you a drink of my own." Said Hans.

"Let me guess you're a bartender too? On top of former admiral, former prince and wanted fugitive?" Said Dolores grinning at him.

"Nah I'm just Danish." Answered Hans as he stood up on his feet and made his way over the other side of the counter where Dolores stood.

"Didn't realize you were so tall." Said Dolores looking at Hans up and down. "You're almost as tall as my cousin Luisa."

Hans was about to reach for a clean glass when suddenly Dolores slapped his hand.

"Eh eh! Wash your hands first." Said Dolores.

"Okay fine." Said Hans rolling his eyes as he proceeded to do just that. He dried them up with a cloth dolores handed to him. One of her hips popped ot the side as she smirked at him.

He took the cloth and dried his hands before raising them to the air and showing her.

"Better?"

"Much better." Said Dolores with her arms crossed as she smirked at him. Hans began to roll up the sleeves from his tunic.

"All right let's get to work." Said Hans as he clapped his hands are rubbed them together. "You ever have a Copenhagen cocktail?"

"The remainder of my families are the ones in Denmark, not me remember?" Said Dolores smiling at him.

"Right. So the first thing I'll need cherries, chilled water, syrup, some old simon genever and freshly squeezed lime juice." Said Hans as Dolores bent down and got all the ingredients Hans asked for.

"Here you are sir." She said teasingly as she put the last item on the counter.

"Perfect. Ready to learn?'

"Are you?" She said challenging him as Hans smirked and got to work.

"Cass?" Said Hanna who had been looking for her right hand shield maiden for the past ten minutes. "Cass where are you?"

Hanna looked around and then went up to her shield maidens who were drinking, dancing on each other and several of them were flirting with some pirates and thugs. Others with the harlots from the pub.

"Gunnhild!" Said Hanna when she spotted her strongest and tallest shield maiden lustfully kissing the lips of two harlots in her lap. Gunnhild moved the German woman she had been kissing away as she looked at her princess apporaching her. "You seen Cass?"

"Isn't she with you?" Asked Gunnhild as the two woman on her lap conntinued they're advances by kissing and licking her neck.

"Last time I saw her she was drunk out of her mind." Sighed Hanna.

"Well she's still durnk, princess Hanna." Said Torvi her other shield maiden who was enjoying another round of beer. "Last we saw her she went upstairs with some muscular guy."

"Is everything okay, Hanna?" Asked Gunnhild.

"Yeah yeah everythings fine I just.. need to talk to someone about something. I'll go look for her, excuse me." Said Hanna as she headed up the stairs.

She was surprised the pub had three stories of rooms. She walked through the hall tipsy. The rum was in her system but she could stilll function pretty well.

There seemed to be more people upstairs then downstairs. Many were drinking, and kissing one another. Thugs and pirates enjoying the company of the harlot women they paid for the night.

A half naked Gemran woman approached Hanna as she walked to her lustfully.

"Hey there beautiful. You looking for a good time? I'll make it worth you're while." She said in German as she blew a kiss to her.

"No thanks. Have you seen a German woman with armor similar to mine? Somewhat short black braided hair, grey eyes, about five foot seven?" Said Hanna.

"Honey look around you." Answered a gay man who was enjoying the company of two other men. "You're in Germany. You just described half the girls in the country."

They erupted into laughter as Hanna kept walking. She opened each door down the hall but each time it was someone else, or rather others. One room had a thug and a harlot having sex, another had two women haing sex, another had men having sex with one another. Occasionaly she would open a door where there was a group of men doing illegal business and money laundering.

They would yell at Hanna to close the door. She opened another door and it more sex, even orgys. Finally she barged in one of the last doors in the end on the second floor. That's where she found her naked on top of a very muscular and large man, riding him rapidly as he moaned in desperation.

"Cass! Jesus Christ there you are!" Said Hanna.

Cassandra turned her naked body around to Hanna and smiled at her as she lifted her head up.

"Hey! You're just in time. Come join us babe." Said Cassandra as she gestured to come with her fingers while patting the man's stomach.

"No Cass. I was looking for you cause I wanted to talk to you. Something... Happened and-"

"Ah come on! Can't you see we're busy here!" Excalimed the muscular naked man who Cass was on top of.

"Yeah Hanna sweetie I would love to talk to you, you know I would but I'm a little preoccupied with.." Cassandra turned to look at the naked man she was on top of. "What was your name again?"

"Otto" Answered the man.

"Otis." Said Cassandra nodding as she turned to Hanna again.

"No it's Otis-"

"Whatever who cares!" Excalimed Cassandra to the man as she threw a pillow on him. "Anyways Hanna can we talk about it tomorrow?"

Hanna rolled her eyes and sighed. "Fine.. just be careful."

"You know I can take care of myself love." WInked Cassandra as Hanna headed out the door.

The last thing she saw before she closed the door behind her was Cassandra continuing the rhythim again as she rode him just as hard as she was when Hanna had come in.

Hanna leaned up against the wall and rubbed her eyes. She needed to talk to someone but coudln't. She had no explanation as to why she did what she did. She sighed heavily again and headed back downstairs.

Hans was shaking the drink inside a shaker before pouring the red alcoholic drink on the two cocktail glasses.

"Now just a cherry on top and boom. Done." Said Hans as he handed Dolores a cocktail.

"I'm impressed." Said Dolores as she took the cocktail in her hand.

"Not bad for someone who's never bartended in his life right?" Said Hans.

Dolores took a sip and then nodded with surprise. "Tastes surprisingly good."

"Of course it does. What you think I'd poison you or something?" Said Hans.

Dolores erupted into chuckles. "I wouldn't put it past you."

Hans smiled as he brought the cocktail to his lips to take drink when suddenly.

"HANS!"

"UFF! What the? Hanna!" Exclaimed Hans as Hanna collided to Hans making him almost spill his drink. "You almost made me spill my cocktail!"

"I need to talk to you." Said Hanna in exasperation.

"Oh my goodness. You must be Hans sister. The Princess!" Said Dolores suddenly as she stepped forward with the drink still in her hand.

"Oh. Do I know you?" Asked Hanna.

Hans sighed. "Hanna this is Dolores she's from Colombia and-"

"A pleasure to meet you, Princess Hanna. I am Dolores Madrigal from Encanto, Colombia." Said Dolores as she shoved Hans out of the way by accident.

"Oh. You're from South America." Chuckled Hanna as she shook her hand. "What are you doing all the way out here?"

"I'm only here temporarily but it is such an honor to meet you! You're very beautiful I must say." Said Dolores.

"Oh well thank you I appreciate your kind words. But please just call me Hanna." Smiled Dolores.

"Yes. Hanna. My annoying twin sister why did you come running here." Said Hans as he finally jumped in the conversation.

"I need to talk to you okay. I don't know who else to talk to about this.." said Hanna.

"Did something happen?" Asked Dolores as if she was part of the conversation.

"What's so important that made you come to me of all people." Said Hans as he lifted the cocktail to his lips and began to drink.

"It's Lieutenant Damien and I! We just kissed Hans!"

"COUGH-COUGH!" Exclaimed Hans who spat out his drink from the shocking news while trying to gasp for air.

Dolores gasped. "The handsome Arendellian soldier! The one who you gave a rum too!" She added as she slapped Hans chest.

"Yes him- wait?" Said Hanna as he turned to Hans. "You're the one that gave him rum!?"

"Cough. Yes. I know you prefer rum over wine since win is technically more for a date so I suggested rum-"

"YOU IDIOT!" Said Hanna as she punched her brothers arm.

"OWWW!" Exclaimed Hans as he rubbed his arm.

"You're the reason we got drunk! You're the reason we kissed! Damn it Hans!" Exclaimed Hanna as she slapped her forehead.

"How romantic!" Said Dolores as she pressed her cheeks.

"Look I didn't think you two were going to kiss! And besides it was a drunken kiss, Hanna. I'm sure he won't remember a thing tomorrow morning." Said Hans.

"How could you possibly believe that! I sure as hell remember! Ughhhh!" She exclaimed as she covered her face.

"Whoa. I haven't seen you this upset since your first break up. Why are you so worried anyways?" Said Hans as he took another sip of his cocktail.

"I kissed him first..." she said sitting up again.

"What?" Asked Hans with widened eyes.

"Wowwww. So you do like him!" Exclaimed Dolores.

"Why would you do that?" Asked Hans.

"I don't know. I don't know what came over me I just.. ugh. I need to get out of here." Said Hanna.

"Wait but what about Ragnar? You're supposed to be watching him." Said Hans

"How can I when he's right there." Said Hanna.

"He's gone actually." Said Dolores as they turned to look at her with confused expressions.

"He is?" Said the twins together.

"Yeah he left about five minutes ago." Said Dolores.

Hanna pressed her brows. "How did you hear him if you're all the way-

"Look it doesn't matter. He's gone, okay?" Said Hans as he grabbed his sisters shoulders. "Now why don't you go get some rest or something. I'm sure you'll forget all about it tomorrow morning."

Hanna sighed deeply as she walked away and headed to an empty guest room before closing the door behind her.

"Is you're sister usually this embarrassed by men?" Asked Dolores.

"Nope." Said Hans shaking his head. "Never."

Kristoff and Isabela continued on talking. They were much closer to each other as Isabela listened attentively to him speak.

"I just don't know what I want from life anymore. I thought I had it all planned out but-"

"But it wasn't you." She said finishing for him.

"Yeah.. right." Said Kristoff agreeing with her.

"I feel the same way sometimes." Said Isabela as Kristoff continued to listen to her. "At times I overthink about the future and that if perhaps it was better to have my family take control of my decisions but.."

"But what?" Asked Kristoff as he leaned in just a little.

"But then I wouldn't be here with you." Said Isabela as she looked up at him and smiling.

"You're right. Maybe I should follow your lifestyle." Smirked Kristoff.

Isabela reached for his face and gently grabbed his cheeks as she rubbed them. The hairs on his arms stood up and his heart stood still for a moment.

Feeling a woman's touch this close was giving him a familiar yet new feeling. The only one who dared touch him like that was Anna who he had been with for years.

But now feeling from someone else. It felt different.

"How about you start by following me upstairs?" Whispered Isabela.

Kristoff eyes widened. "Up-upstairs-mm!"

Isabela planted her soft lips on Kristoffs. Kristoff had only kissed four people in his life and Isabela was number four. But it had been so long since he kissed anyone besides Anna that it felt so new to him.

Isabela pulled out of the kiss as she grinned at Kristoff who still had the dumbfounded stare in his face.

"Mmmm. Very nice lips." She said.

Kristoff was speechless and he could barely word out anything.

"Wow.." He breathed out finally.

"Let's try again shall we?" Asked Isabela as she planted another kiss on him again.

Hans shook the cocktail drink in circles before raising it to his lips and finishing it. He took a quick glance at Kristoff and looked away but soon found himself shooting another glance at him again. This time quicker.

He spat out his cocktail drink he had in his mouth and began to choke and cough again.

"CAH! COUGH-COUGH!"

"Again!? Ay Dios mío do you not know how to drink?" Said Dolores as she slapped his back.

She followed his astonished expression over to her cousin where she found her passionately kissing Kristoff. Her knees where on top of the chair and her body practically on top of him with her arms wrapped around his neck.

Hans blinked several times and slapped his face. Now he was questioning whether he was truly drunk or not but only reality sat in as he watched Isabela's tongue wrestle with his.

"Oh would you look at that! Looks like I am staying here after all." Said Dolores with ease. She looked over to Hans who was still in complete shock. "What's wrong?"

"I just.. I don't know whether I should step in or let him or.."

"Why would you step in? He's not engaged anymore right?" Asked Dolores.

"Yeah but.. oh my God. What the hell do I do.." said Hans conflicted as he grabbed his head. The thought of Anna came to his mind.

"He's a big man I'm sure he'll be fine." Chuckled Dolores as she patted Hans back.

Isabela continued to run her tongue down his throat as they continued to kiss. She had full control and Kristoff didn't mind at all that she took over.

Her left hand ran down his chest and slowly made its way to Kristoffs thigh. She brushed a little further up until she felt it.

"Ah.." grunted Kristoff as he suddenly pulled out from the kiss.

He was rock hard. His erection was so visible on top of his left thigh. Isabela ran her fingers slowly on it as he continued to breath out.

"You're so hard." She whispered to him as she suddenly grabbed it and wrapped her hand around it making him grunt again.

He breathed heavily as he looked up at her. Her stare reached his soul. Her dark eyes starving for him as she bit her lip.

"Are you going to follow me upstairs papi?" She asked him. Her lips wet from their salivas mixed together.

Kristoff swallowed as Isabela grabbed his penis harder. He finally nodded. And not because she forced her but because he wanted to.

She grabbed his hand and guided him to the stairs. Kristoff reached for his crotch to hide his obvious erection as he followed her up the stairs.

He watched as she swayed her hips from side to side with each step she took.

"Oh God. Okay. My hands are clean." Said Hans shaking his head as he raised both his hands up and looked away.

Dolores erupted into laughter. "You're funny you know that?"

Hans watched as she yawned and leaned on the counter table again. "You're tired."

"Only a little. The cocktail should wake me up soon." Said Dolores.

"Want me to make you some more?" Offered Hans.

"You're sweet." Chuckled Dolores. "But I'm not in the mood to get drunk right now."

"So what are you in the mood for?" Asked Hans.

Dolores smirked as she looked away and then back at him. "That's a good question."

The door barged open as Isabela and Kristoff followed inside, passionately kissing one another like they were hungry wolves.

Isabela was the one leading the way as she led Kristoff to the bed and pushed him backwards. He sat up only to see Isabela lift her right hand. A large tree vine popped out of the nowhere and shut the door behind them.

"What.. what the. Did you see that-"

"Shhhhh." Said Isabela as she put her index finger on Kristoff lips. "You just sit there and enjoy."

Kristoff couldn't believe what he was seeing. Very slowly and teasingly Isabela began to undress herself. She swayed her hips to the side as her skirt fell before him. She had a very thin womans drawers that were barely covering her curvy body.

She then lowered each sleeve of her top before slowly pulling it down. She had no corset on and before he knew it she slipped out of her drawers with ease and was completely naked in front of him.

He was speechless.

Her face matched the rest of her body. She was beautifully dark all over with no tan lines whatsoever. She had beautiful natural curves and her breasts were beautiful side sets that hung naturally low. Her nipples dark. Her thighs were were strong and her hips wide. The hairs on her crotch were wavy and shaped beautifully.

"Now." Said Isa as she slowly walked towards Kristoff who was still dumbfounded. She placed her naked feet on top of his stomach, displaying her entry in front of him as he held his breath. "Let's get you out of those clothes shall we?"

She removed his boots and socks from his feet as they touched the floor.

"Mmmm big feet. You know what they say about big feet papi?" She teased.

"Big hands?" Answered kristoff nervously as she got to her knees.

She began undoing his breachers and then pulled them down. His penis sprung up like like a flower on spring day.

She removed his breachers completely off before throwing them to the side as she looked back at his impressive and hard size.

"Close. Guess again." Said Isa grinning as she reached for his penis and wrapped her hand around it.

He shivered at her confident touch and grab. He was scared he might just burst right then and there.

"Mmmm. I can wrap both my hands around it." Said Isabela as she did so. Kristoff gasped. "That's the first time I've ever been able to do that with a man.."

Kristoff closed his eyes and rolled them back as she began to slowly stroke his penis up and down. Then suddenly Anna's face came to his brain and his eyes widened.

"Wait! Wait!" Exclaimed Kristoff which startled Isa as she quickly let go.

"What, what happened!? Oh did you come already?" She asked.

"No no! It's not that it's just.." He sighed heavily as he brushed his hair from his face in frustration. "I don't know if I should do this or not.."

"Okay.." Said Isabela with furrowed brows as she crossed her legs together and looked up at him still naked and all. "Why not?"

Krisotff shook his head as he looked down at the floor and muttered. "I don't know.."

Isabela sighed as she rose up to her feet and made her way over to him as she clasped her hands on his thighs. "Listen to me papi. I'm not going to force you to do anything. If you want to stop right now we'll stop."

Kristoff took in a deep breath as Isabela stood up again and began to walk to the door. "This is so embarrassing I'm sorry. You don't deserve-"

He stopped and his jaw dropped when he saw her again. Her back was to him and it was the first time he could see the whole back of her. Her ass was thick and big. Nothing he had ever seen before. It moved beautifully every time she took a step. She was fixing her hair with her fingers and he could have sworn he could see peddles descending from the ceiling. His erection was harder than before.

"You were saying?" She said teasingly as she turned to look at him.

But he had nothing to say. He was lost in her curves and her beauty. Isabela smirked at him and slapped her own ass making the most beautiful clapping noise as it jiggled naturally. Kristoff had no words.

"Speechless right? Well you know what they say about us Colombian women." She said as she made her way over to him and got on her knees again. She grabbed his hard erection again and this time he wasn't stopping her. She spat on the head of the penis causing him to flinch and groan as she rubbed her thumb over it before looking at him in the eyes again. "We have the best asses in the world."

She brought her head down and swallowed him in one go, causing him to gasp and roll his eyes as he looked up to the ceiling as she continued swallowing him.

Hans and Dolores were sharing a laugh together. They hadn't stopped talking with each other even when Isabela disappeared with Kristoff up the stairs.

Dolores brows pressed together as she leaned her head just slightly to the left. She raised her hand and cupped it around her ear as if she was hearing something.

"Oh. Oh. Oh my." Squeaked Dolores as her cheeks flustered and her eyes widened.

"What's wrong?" Asked Hans confused as to what she was trying to hear.

"Looks like Isa and you're friend are having a great time." Said Dolores as she cleared her throat and focused back on him.

"Wait. You can hear them having sex?" Asked Hans with pressed brows.

"I told you I hear everything." Shrugged Dolores.

Hans was quiet for a moment until he finally let out a small chuckle. "You're an interesting woman you know that?"

"I've been told." Nodded Dolores with a smirk. "But is interesting the only way to describe me?"

Hans was quiet for a moment as he looked at Dolores beautiful smile with her pouty and soft lips. Her expression clearly wanting to know what he really thought of her.

"I'm sure many have told you you're beautiful." Said Hans.

"Every once and a while I hear that too." Nodded Dolores as Hans smiled. "I'm sure many have called you handsome."

"You have no idea." Answered Hans with a exaggerated expression as Dolores erupted into laughter.

"Okay well señor. Since you are so handsome and you know it yourself. What kind of woman are you looking for in your life?" She asked.

"What makes you believe I want to settle down and be with a woman?" Challenged Hans.

"You're a man."

"So?" Replied Hans with a brow raised.

"So, every man needs his companion next to their side. Even if they claim that they love to be left alone." Said Dolores. "And something tells me you've been alone for a while."

Hans let out a haughty chuckle as he looked down at the bar table and then back at Dolores.

"So let me ask again. What kind of woman are you looking for?" She asked with more seriousness.

They were just inches away from each other. None of them realized how close they had gotten with only the table bar keeping them apart.

He stared into her sweet caramel eyes as she stared into his emerald ones. She was so full of confidence yet she didn't show it off like her cousin. She had captured his attention.

"At the moment I'm looking at her." He finally answered smoothly.

Dolores smirked softly at him. "What a coincidence. Because I'm looking at mine."

They smiled at each other. Not one of them taking their eyes off one another.

"AHHH, AH, Oh God.." Groaned Kristoff as Isabella continued to go down on him.

She moved her head up and down and had started using her hands as she stroked him while doing so. Her saliva had covered his whole penis and occasionally she would use only her tongue as she made sure she got every sensitive part, even his own testicles.

He groaned as Isabela started jamming his penis to the side of her cheek as she looked up at him. Her eyes full of lust.

Kristoff had been holding himself up with the edge of the bed and squeezing the bed sheets. But when he looked down and saw Isabela glorifying his cock and looking up at him lustfully he couldn't hold himself back anymore.

He grabbed the back of Isa's hair and head with his hands and jammed her deeper into his penis. Isabela let out a chuckle and nodded in approval, letting Kristoff take full control and guide her as she put her saliva wet hands on his lap.

Kristoff groaned harder as he watched Isabela let herself be used by his hands. He pulled her in deeper and Isabela purposely opened her mouth wide and allowed him to gag her, deep throating him as the sound of the inside of her throat filled the room.

He licked his lips as he shoved her deeper in. Nothing was on his mind at this very moment. Not even Anna. Only Isabela.

This continued on for a couple of minutes after Kristoff finally pulled her head back. Her lips were glossy and full of his pre cum.

She stared up at him as she licked her lips as if they tasted delicious and sweet. Kristoff rose to his feet and scooped her off her knees.

She was shorter than him. Only five foot three but her thighs and hips were big and she wasn't as light as she looked. But Kristoff was strong and more importantly he was turned on.

He placed her on the bed as Isabela bit her lip and chuckled. He flipped her over as Isabela arched her back, lifting her large ass to him and showing her vaginal lips and entry.

Her whole body was dark but the inside of her vagina wasn't. Pink and beautiful.

Kristoff grabbed a handful of her ass as she grinned and moaned. She even purposely bounced her ass up and down to him as if she were dancing, making it jiggle naturally.

Kristoff let out a exasperated breath as he continued fondling her body, even clasping his hands around her breasts and squeezing them gently and then tightly.

He pinched her dark nipples and she moaned, groaned and giggled. Letting him know that she was enjoying everything he was doing.

He bent down and gently placed a kiss on the side of her neck which made her shiver. He placed each kiss all over her back as he made his way down, softly using his tongue with it.

She moved her hips lustfully, enjoying the soft kisses he placed on her. He reached her tailbone but didn't stop. Instead he kept going and kissed her even in the middle of her ass cheeks, right on her anus.

"Ohhhh." She moaned loudly. He grabbed each side of her cheeks with his two hands and spread them as he continued with his wet kisses.

She let out moan again when he passed her hole and then finally reached her vagina. He placed a few more gentle kisses, slowly transitioning with his tongue.

Isabela closed her eyes tightly and opened them as her hips continued to sway up and down and all over around.

Finally Kristoff opened his mouth stuck his tongue inside. Isabella gasped and let out another loud moan, louder than the first one as Kristoff continued eating her out.

"Can I ask you something?" Asked Hans to Dolores. They were still staring at one another.

"Mhm." Muttered Dolores not taking her eyes off his.

"What do you see in me exactly? Like what intrigues you?" Asked Hans.

She stared at him and gave no response for a moment as the band continued to play and the loud thugs and pirates continued to sing along and howl.

"You are the most fascinating man I've ever met in my entire life." She finally answered as Hans stared amused. "Even hearing stories about you got my attention. A brave former admiral, born into royalty who laid fear to the crime underworld. Tried to overthrow the mysterious kingdom of Arendelle and it's ice queen."

Hans let out a small smirk at hearing the word ice queen suddenly remembering Elsa.

"Turned into the most wanted fugitive. Stripped of his royal household and almost tarnished the Westergaard name." Hans blinked and pressed his lips at hearing that. "Then sentenced to death only to come back from death itself three years later?"

Hans slowly look up at Dolores after hearing her words.

"AHHH.. AY SI PAPI! SIIII..." Moaned Isabela loudly in Spanish as Kristoff continued to perform oral sex on her.

Minutes had gone by as he finally removed his face from her cheeks. His nose lips and chin covered with her discharge and his saliva.

Isabela bit her lip as she watched him from behind. Her face planted on the bed with her back still arched up to him.

Kristoff moved his hair away from his face, trying to catch his breath as he grabbed his erected penis and stroked it with his right hand while he positioned himself behind her.

"Eso es Papi. Dámelo." She said to him in Spanish as she swayed her ass in desperation.

Hans watched as Dolores leaned closer to him. They were at face level now. They're lips only inches apart from each other.

"Now tell me. What's not to to be intrigued about a man like that?" She said to him as they stared into one another's eyes.

Kristoff guided his erect penis to her opening as his tip made contact with her lips. She grinned and let out a pleased groan. Eagerly waiting for him to stick it inside her.

"What does papi mean?" Asked Kristoff as he grabbed the left side of her ass check with his free left hand, spreading it to give him more room while guiding his penis with the other.

Isabela grinned as an eager laugh escaped her lips. "Daddy."

Kristoff let out a soft breath as he smirked and turned his attention back to her ass.

SPANK!

Isabella moaned as he spanked her and then he proceeded and stuck his penis inside her as she let out a loud gasp.

All while at the same time Hans and Dolores finally connected lips and kissed. At first it started slow but it quickly got more intense as Dolores got up on top of the bar table.

They kissed passionately, tasting the delicious cocktail they had been drinking as their tongues wrestled with one another.

Finally Hans swept her off her feet and carried her away as they headed up the stairs with her arms around him as they continued to kiss.

"Ohhh siiii! Siii papi! Siiii! Ohhh!" Moaned Isabela harder each time her ass bounced off Kristoffs waist.

He had two handfuls of her ass cheeks as he drove his erection inside her repeatedly. He let out fast paced breaths as he licked his lips.

He reached with one hand one of her breasts and squeezed before he continued to spank her as she let out more moans.

SPANK! SPANK!

Isabella moaned as she lifted her feet up and arched herself more, giving more access to Kristoff as he drove his penis deeper inside.

The slippery sound of her vagina grew louder as he continued going in and out of her. He grabbed the back of her hair and tugged it back as he continued fucking her.

She didn't argue at all. She let him pull her hair as he continued fucking her from behind. He let go of her hair and her face planted on the bed again as he continued the perfect rhythm he was going.

They did this position for seven minutes until finally Kristoff pulled his penis out. But Isabela was quick to stand to her feet.

Kristoff grabbed Isabella and picked her up from the bed by her thighs as he spun her around and lifted her just slightly so he can drive his penis inside her again.

This time Isabela helped as she reached down and guided him inside before wrapping her arms around Kristoff neck and sitting on it.

She let out another moan as she sat on it while still being held in the air by Kristoff, only using his broad shoulders and muscular back for supper as Kristoff fucked her and drove her up and down.

Hans kicked the empty guest room open. Still carrying Dolores in his arms as he entered in. Dolores shut the door behind them and locked it. She then kicked off her flats as they continued kissing.

He led her to the bed where he threw her to the bed as she sat up and smiled lustfully at him. She watched as he removed the protective gear and then began to undo his dark tunic.

Dolores got on her knees and helped him remove the tunic completely off. His muscular and defined build flashing before her very eyes. She saw the old scars on his skin and leaned over as she began placing wet kisses on all of them.

She left trails as she made her way down past his belly button and brushed her lips on his light auburn hair trails.

She rose up again and they kissed passionately as Hans reached for her top and began to undo it while she helped. He removed it completely. Her skin was light skinned like her. She even had a few freckles on her chest just like she had on her cheeks.

Her breasts were beautiful side sets like her cousins. Her nipples were a light shade of brown as Hans clapped her breast and bent down as he begin sucking on her nipples.

She let out a satisfied moan as her head rolled back as did her eyes. He sucked and nippled on both of them as Dolores held unto the back of his head and would squeeze his long auburn hair every once in a while.

He left a trail of wet kisses as he made his way up to her neck as she moaned even louder. His right hand gently made its way down to her thick thighs and then grabbed a handful of her asscheeks.

He was amazed. Never had he ever felt an ass this big in his life. He pulled of the kiss before he gently pushed her back down on the bed as Dolores bit her lip and began to play with her breast and pinch her own nipples.

He reached for her skirt and undid it before finally sliding it completely off. She had strong legs, defined calf's and thick thighs and hips.

The hairs on her crotch were the same as the hair on her head and they were curly like unto it too. He could tell she kept it well maintained and trimmed perfectly, never letting it get out of hand.

He started kissing her deeply again as Dolores wrapped her arms around his neck again. He fondled her breasts and then made his way down her stomach. Brushing through her hairs and touching her vagina lips.

She pulled out of the kiss and gasped as she looked at Hans who was lost in her eyes. He made his way through the opening and began to finger her and play with her clitoris.

"Oooh, ahhhhmmmmm." She groaned and moaned as Hans continued playing with her as he sucked on her neck. She drew him closer to her as she clawed the back of his neck and head.

His hands felt joyful. He hadn't slept with a woman in years and being able to finally feel a woman's body again was mesmerizing.

He pulled out of her neck, his lips imprinted on her as he started to leave wet kisses while he made his way down.

He brushed her hairs again as she bit her finger and moaned, kissing her hips and the inside of his thighs. This time Hans got on his knees and opened her legs up, exposing her vagina completely to him.

His large erection was hard and popping out. His breachers were practically begging him to take them off so his penis could breathe and escape. But Hans wasn't going to do that just yet.

He followed the trail of wet kisses all the way to her vagina as he ran his rather long tongue all over over it, teasing what he was about to do.

"Ohhhhh..." She moaned as he hips swayed up and down excitingly. Digging her nails slightly on her chest and breasts.

He glanced up at her as she glanced back at him. Her body was horny and ready for him. Finally Hans went all in and began to eat her out as she gasped loudly and rolled her head back again.

"MMMMMM." Moaned Kristoff as he continued fucking Isabela. The sound of her cheeks connecting with his heaps echoed the room as she continued to moan loudly.

His back was already sweating. He had forgotten what a workout sex actually was. Isabela grabbed his face and they kissed once more.

Isabella pulled out of the kiss and grinned at him lustfully again as she suddenly put her feet over his head. He watched confusingly until he realized what she was doing.

She seemed acrobatic as she climbed over him and then suddenly flipped around. Her ass was right on his face with her vagina right in front of him. Then suddenly she grabbed his large and hard cock in her hands and stuck it in her mouth again.

Kristoff let out a noise himself this time. He was completely caught off guard and almost lost his balance. She was deep throating him upside down. Her hair hanging from the air as she wrapped her legs around his neck so she wouldn't fall.

"Ahhhhh..." He moaned loudly as Isabela continued to swallow him. He had never tried this position before. Not even with any of his ex girlfriends. This was new to him.

Isabela reached for her ass and spanked it, jiggling it around in front of Kristoff. She was hinting at him that he needed to do the same.

He moaned again. She hasn't stopped swallowing him this whole time. He wasn't sure if he could perform his duty when she was swallowing him at the same time.

But he wasn't going to go out without a fight and so he grabbed her ass and began eating her out again as Isabela giggled with his cock in her mouth and moaned.

Dolores felt like she was being reborn. Never had she ever felt someone eat her out so well like Hans was doing at the moment. He focused on the clitoris and was even using his three fingers to finger her.

But what impressed her the most is that she could tell Hans loved doing it and indeed he did. Hans was enjoying every second of it and loving the taste of her.

He devoured her like he was a hungry wolf. He continued doing this for several minutes and with each minute gone by Dolores's moans got louder and louder.

"Ahh.. AAahhhhHhh... AHHHHHHHHHH!" She moaned loudly. Her legs were shaking, her toes were curling and Hans was not stopping.

She had came.

Hans didn't stop. He didn't want to stop. He wanted her to feel good. But Dolores couldn't take it anymore she had to physically move Hans hands and face away her because if he kept going she swore she was going to squirt.

He finally gave in and backed away. His nose, his chin and his mouth were glossy and wet. He watched as Dolores swayed her hips and continued to moan, little by little trying to catch her breath.

Her legs were still shaking uncontrollably and she couldn't make them stop. She had never experienced anything like that. She blinked several times as she glanced at Hans who was staring at her and breathing from his mouth.

He reached for his breachers and began to undo them but Dolores took initiative and crawled naked to the edge of the bed where Hans was.

She placed another wet kiss on his lips, tasting herself before reaching for his breachers and undoing them herself. She pulled the breachers down and his erected and large cock swung to her.

She grinned as she saw it in front of her. Impressed by the massive size. She grabbed his cock with her hand and began to slowly stroke it as Hans closed his eyes and took slow breaths.

She licked her lips as she examined it carefully. She then used her other other hand and placed it on top of the other as she continued to move them up and down.

She laid flat on her stomach and that was when Hans could see her backside. Her hips and ass were fat but in all the right ways. Her body naturally arched even without her trying.

Then suddenly she took him inside her mouth. Hans let out a deep and satisfied sigh. Her mouth was so warm. Dolores started off slow, moving her head forward and backwards as she savored his warm cock.

But little by little she started sucking him harder and just a little faster. Hans moaned as he glanced down at Dolores who at the same time glanced up at him.

Her brown eyes staring into his emeralds as she began to use her tongue and add more saliva. Her pouty lips savoring every inch of his cock.

He slowly and gently grabbed the back of her neck and pushed her forward while using the other hand to grab a handful of her fat ass, even smacking it.

Dolores let herself and began to swallow him even harder. She pulled out for a second and spat all the saliva she had inside her mouth all over Hans penis causing him to let out a moan.

She continued to suck him off as Hans was using two hands to hold her head as he shoved his large penis inside her mouth, letting herself be deep throated.

Isabela continued sucking off Kristoff and Kristoff continued eating her out. Both of them were practically in harmony. Isabela finally stopped sucking him as she backed her head away.

She ushed herself up and unwrapped her feet from Kristoffs neck. He stopped eating her when he noticed her climbing back down to the floor.

She looked up at Kristoff, grinning at how tall he was as she suddenly pushed him to the bed. She jumped on top of him and he stared at her with widened eyes at how fast she fast.

She was face to face with him. She tilted her head to one side and winked. Suddenly he saw her turn her whole body around and position herself right on top of his erect and wet penis.

His long legs were spread out and so Isabela made herself comfortable in the middle of the leg space as she crouched down with her back to him as she grabbed his penis.

Then suddenly she guided Kristoffs penis to the inside of her vagina where she sat on top of, taking every inch of him inside her.

"Ahhh.." He moaned as felt the warm and wet sensation inside her. She bit her lip and moaned too.

Kristoff raised his head to look and Isabela was already moving her ass up and down repeatedly as her large ass jiggled with every clap.

Clap! Clap! Clap! Spank! Clap!

"Yes papi spank me harder." She said as she continued to move up and down as Kristoff moaned and spanked her harder while enjoying the view.

Dolores pulled her head out after gagging. She coughed as she tried to catch her breath from deep throating Hans.

She looked up at Hans again as they placed their wet kisses on each others lips. Not one of them caring about where their mouths have been.

Dolores pulled out of the kiss and quickly position herself backwards as she arched her hips up. Her ass towards Hans as she reached with one hand and spread her vagina lips, giving him access to her entry

Hans got on top of the bed and knelt down as he spread Dolores large asscheeks apart. He found her entry and grabbed his erected penis as he guided it inside her.

"Aaahh! OohhhHhhhh.." She moved as he felt him slowly enter inside her. She blinked and let out soft breaths. He was large and she was right. She could almost feel him in her stomach.

It wasn't until Hans finally pushed himself in where she finally felt it in her stomach as she let out a gasp.

He started of slow but with rhythm but soon enough it rapidly increased as her asscheeks jiggled and clapped every time he went deeper.

Spank!

She moved and nodded her head. "Si, si, si.." she moaned out as Hans continued to fuck her from behind. The bandana holding her hair up was coming undone and she didn't care.

He spanked her again and with each spank Dolores moaned and exclaimed in Spanish words that only Hans understood.

Kristoff groaned as Isabela moved her ass up and down. She stopped as she caught her breath and leaned back.

Kristoff grabbed her breasts and squeezed them as Isabela grinned and let out a chuckle. This time Kristoff lifted his hips and grabbed his own penis as he guided it inside her.

She groaned as it entered her. This time Kristoff did all the work and moved his hips up and down, fucking her as she leaned back and moaned.

She placed her naked feet on top of his thighs for balance as he continued fucking her as she wrapped her arms around her neck.

Dolores moaned. She was laying flat on her stomach and her legs were spread open as Hans drove his cock inside her as he held himself up with both his hands on the bed.

He leaned down and placed a wet kiss on Dolores neck as he fucked her harder.

Isabela's legs shook as Kristoff slowed down his rhythm. He clapped Isa's breasts again as she turned to him and placed a wet sloppy kiss on him.

She let herself fall to the side as Kristoff came behind her and laid the same way she did. She raised her leg up and that's when Kristoff guided his penis inside her as he began fucking her from the side.

Hans was laying down on the bed. His head rested on the pillow with his arm under it as he moaned and watched Dolores go to town.

She was laying on the bed and sucking Hans off, letting him relax and enjoy her mouth again and how she praised him and his cock.

The bandana on her head had practically fallen off and her long curly brown hair which was being held up had started to come down and touching her shoulders.

"Ohhhh God..." He moaned as Dolores spat ot his cock and continued sucking him off, moving his erection to her cheek as she moved it up and down.

She stuck out her tongue and started licking his testicles, his penis and then his tip while stroking him. He groaned again when she slid her tongue inside his penis hole and then returned to sucking him off. His penis was drenched in her saliva but she didn't stop.

Hans sat up and grabbed Dolores face gently as she looked up at him. Her mouth wet and glossy with even his pre cum hanging from her pouty lips.

He pulled her to him as she crawled over and obeyed him. Then suddenly he flipped her around. Her head resting in the pillow now and he was on top of her.

Dolores bit her lip and grinned as Hans started kissing and sucking her breasts. She spread her legs apart and made his way in as he stuck his penis inside her again.

She let out a loud moan as Hans thrusted his hips frontwards and backwards, his large penis going in and out as the sound of air leaving her vagina filled the room.

He was using the bed to hold himself up at first but then he slightly pushed himself up and grabbed ahold of both her thighs, spreading them farther apart.

This only made Dolores moan louder. Hans had more room to fuck her and go deeper and harder than before as the sound of air escaping only grew louder. Especially when Hans would occasionally start playing with her sensitive clitoris again with his fingers while fucking her.

Hans didn't stop. He didn't even look tired at all and he was enjoying every second of Dolores, praising her as he enjoyed her moans and loud exclaims.

Kristoff slowed his hip thrusts down at last as Isabela controlled her breathing and hugged Kristoffs neck. She pulled him to her and they kissed one another as he gently and slowly went inside her.

They pulled away from the kiss and Isabella lifted herself off from his penis and gently pushed Kristoff to lay on his back again.

He did what she demanded as she placed her hand on his chest and got on top of him, this time facing him with her legs trapping his waist. She slowly lifted herself up and guided his penis inside her as Kristoff let out a deep breath and rolled his eyes.

Ironically Dolores was doing the exact same thing and at the exact same time. She pushed Hans to the bed and rested his head in the pillow. Then she jumped on top of him and sat on his penis, guiding him side her as she held herself up with her hand on his muscular chest.

Both men moaned as they watched the woman ride them and sway their hips in all matter of movements and in their own style.

This time they weren't doing any work. For Isabela and Dolores were the ones in full control. Hans reached for Dolores breasts and squeezed them as she rode him harder.

Kristoff did the same as Isabela bent down and thirsted her hips more rapidly. He caressed her breasts and began sucking on her dark nipples as she continued moaning.

Hans began to thrust his hip upwards, matching her rhythm. Dolores rolled her eyes and moved as she felt Hans in her stomach again, the tip of his penis rubbing against her Gräfenberg spot.

She moved her ear closer to his mouth. She loves hearing his moms and his breathing.

Dolores rode Hans harder. Isabela rode Kristoff harder. Each men enjoying the beautiful women in front of them and lost in paradise as they felt the blood of their penis go to their tip.

And at the same time the cousins were so aroused and they're legs were shaking again. And in that moment and at the same exact time.

"AHHHHHH! OOOOHHHHH. MMMmmhhmmmMM! AUGGGHHHH!"

They all came. Kristoff ejaculated inside Isabela, causing her to exclaim in pleasure as she tilted her head back and rolled her eyes, causing a banquet of flowers and colors to fall from the ceiling.

And Hans ejaculated lots of his semen inside Dolores as she moaned, felt and heard it enter her womb.

Kristoff groaned as he pumped out the last of his semen inside her. Peddles and roses were landing on his face but he hardly noticed or cared. He was drunk of alcohol, lust and pleasure and it was finally being released.

Isabela looked back down, clearly out of breath but she grinned at him before she finally sat up and fell exhausted besides Kristoffs side of the bed. Both of them heavy breathing as they felt their pulse beat heavily. Kristoff closed his eyes and suddenly he was asleep.

Hans was still pumping the last of his heavy semen into Dolores who was moaning and rolling her neck as if she was enjoying the sounds that no other human could hear except her.

Hans grunted as he let out the final push of his semen inside her as her riding finally came to an ease.

They looked into each others eyes as both of them breathed heavily. Both of them sweaty with the smell of their lust and saliva. Her curly long hair was completely down nothing holding it in place any longer.

They both smiled at each other at the same time. Dolores bent down while still on top of him and began kissing Hans who kissed back. Both of them passionately wrestling with each others lips and tongues.

Not once did she get up from on top of him. Not once did she slide herself out of his penis which was still inside her. Instead they kissed and kissed and continued to kiss one another until they fell asleep wrapped in each others embrace.

And all four of them were asleep. Naked under the sheets. With only the neighboring wall separating the two couples.

I know many of you are probably feeling a lot of things at the moment especially in regard to Kristoff and what he has just done. Like I've said before, this story focuses on real things that happen in real life. Couples who are no longer engaged or seeing each other engage and cope in situations like this. It happens on our real world.

Nevertheless I promise you all we will still have a great ending. And lots of exciting chapters to come!
