"Wait wait...So what just happened?" Professor asked confused
"Well, that debate was lively..." Jane commented trying to lighten up after the council was over
"Yes I suppose. Right Kristoff?" Anna quietly commented
"Well ..." Kristoff said remembering the meeting
Post-Council meeting
Each by one, the dignitaries enter a large meeting chamber in the castle.
Tarzan decided to lay back and watch how it goes, trusting the human fomalities to Jane who was in her victorian dress but it was alot more different now thanks to Gerda and Olina.
Everyone sat down and Kai along with the head of the council are leading a royal gathering.
"I am lord Erling of the council, and I call you all to order."
Kai "Thank you all for attending. I'm sure the king and queen will arrive shortly. The matter at hand today is of course- "
"SUCCESSION!"
Across the table is a family of three
The woman Gretchen is a wife to the dim-witted gunner, a second cousin once removed Anna and Elsa (and by extension Tarzan's) , who comes from their grandfather's own sister, their grand aunt's lineage.
They are in their mid-20s with a young son named Galen seated between them.
"I hope this won't get ugly" Jane whispers to Tarzan who tries to comfort her
Gretchen "What's the excuse this time Kai? Is she making another ice sculpture of her sister? or running around with antoher man-baby?"
Her eyes were targeting straight to Tarzan who wasn't much surprised.
However Jane felt offended as did his sister who snickers sarcastically in order to announce of their arrival to everyone in the room
They both were standing at the entrance at the entrance to the room, with Anna stone-faced.
Gretchen's expression drops as the royal couple took their place at the head of the table.
Anna didn't break her eye contact with Gretchen until Kristoff speaks to Kai
"Please proceed Kai"
Kai "Yes your majesty. Succession is indeed the part of today's meeting. And with king and queen entering their 20th year on the throne, an hair must be named. It is a responsibility of this council to choose a successor to the throne of Arendelle by the first fo the year"
The meeting continues with Gretchen staking her husband's claim to the throne and with a lack of options, he seems to be the front runner. or so he seemed.
That is until Anna and Kristoff made a pause and dropped a bobmshell on everyone.
"Everyone I think it's the best time to announce that...me and Kristoff will soon have children!"
That took most if not all of the council (except Tarzan and Jane) by shock and surprise.
"You think we'll believe you?! How would we know if you tell the truth?" Gretchen stated angrily
Jane stood up for her sister in law "Excuse me ma'm, but you don't have to be so-"
Tarzan stopped her holding up a hand and calmly responds "She wants to say your manner of voice isn't welcome"
Gretchen was irritated as she calls back on Tarzan, openly mocking his appearance and question who he really is.
"I do not want to hear YOU speaking to me about manners ...and for that matter, what even gives you the right to be here near all of us you stupid man-ape!?"
"ENOUGH" Anna bursted. Normally she'd be qite and composed dring the meetings...
... but not this time.
The other councilmember then stands up arrogantly "Forgive me your majesty but I must agree with Gretchen. Why should we listen to one raised by savage apes?"
Tarzan didn't took that last sentence too kindly "They are not savages!"
Anna was about to stand up but Kristoff, who held her by shoulder, told her not to. He wasn't liking it either and spoke up next
"Councilmember Jerome unless you have something else to say, please take your seat, you too Gretchen. And that man-ape or how you call him is our intel on african territory of greystokes and also my brother in law so I highly suggest you not make this personal"
Anna as well confirmed that Tarzan was indeed her sibling just as Elsa.
Everyone was baffled including Jerome and Gretchen who were still not fine with this but like her husband, they both knew when to remain silent.
Tarzan sure was impressed by Kristoff's speech which to him was somewhat similar of Kerchak's.
Earl "Now, your majesty, I belive that was another of the revelations you had?"
Anna only nods in response
Earl "I see. That shall be adressed as well but first, could you please report the information you have acquired from your trip to the southern sea"
Anna cleared her throat, now calm and collected "Of course. The land is as it was shown before our arrival as well as the same amount of raw material and resources"
Jane took her chance here to add further details "I must also add that it's been a long time home for the native tribe of Waziri, who are good friends of ours. Not to mention, there are dozens of animals and species that are sensitive to humans being involved. We are sometimes too"
Second head of the council, Frederick stood up, and responded immediately.
"But so are we with Arendelle, and our status is quite obscure within the north Europe. And so with this peregrenation overseas, we hoped for some much appreciated aid"
Tarzan here decided to go in on the conversation "While I may not be close with your way, but I am experienced in leading others"
A fellow councilmember and a trading minister Michael "I also heard from your father Profesor Porter multiple of plants In African forests that are helpful in curing many diseases. Is that true?"
Jane "Yes it is. It's ingredients are very rare but as you said 'helpful', with your aid it may even help more people around the world as well"
Anna "What Jane states is true, as Kai was also under the disease but you see he is now better"
All eyes on Kai, who confirms with a nod.
The rest of the council considered this, and had more heated debates afterwards on whether or not trusting this to Professor but eventaully agreed with Ms. Porter.
When all was said and done, Head counsilor Earl announced the meeting end
Earl "Well then it would seem that an hair to the throne will soon be born, as far as I am concerned that matter is settled. With the greystroke area yet to be localised, this council meeting is over for a time being. Alright dismissed"
The matter being settled was debatable at best for some.
Everyone slowly were moving out, some like Jerome weren't satisifed. Nor was Gretchen who was seen to storm off with her husband and son.
After Meeting
Professor didn't know what to say "it seems you weren't having an easy time"
Jane responds with a playful tone "Alright perhaps we didn't...maybe we should take some relaxing time. I can get us some good tea and chocolate here and now to chill out"
"That won't be needed Ms Porter" Kai says with Gerda having Jane's tea set ready for some good tea as well as Olina who has some good chocolate and snacks on the table
Tarzan was sniffing the table full of treats laid out "Smells good"
"Ouh I bet it does. You sisters usually couldn't get enough of it" Olina said
He let that thoguht sink in as he took one, inspects it and takes a bite. Tarzan was used to eat some termites, peanuts and fruits. But this is something new.
Gerda "I suppose it didn't go smoothly"
Kristoff "What's done is done. Looking on the bright side it could've been worse. Luckily we didn't had any physical offenses like Lovgivende Vold "
Professor "Legal brawl? My word indeed. Have you discussed the matter of the disease?"
Anna "Yes and how have you been with Lord Sorenson?"
"As a fellow old scientist, we had many ideas to share with each other. He is quite a mystic I say. You see we have conversed at the signs of the virus, it's functions are... strangely mutating. Quite unusual. While we had an ingredients necessary for the cure, something seems to enchance it by any minute. Something unnatural"
Jane "Is that even possible? Nothing should be able to manipulate disease"
Anna "Wouldn't be the first time..."
Anna could remember that one time when they found their parents secret passage within the castle...
On that day she planned a world tour with Elsa before an unknown sickness came into their lands. At the time, Anna tried using a magic spell found in there... she planned to utilizing in curing disease. 'What more harm could it bring?' So she thought
The results were... not likeable
Kristoff "What can we do Professor?"
Professor "While it did subside for now, I fear if we don't find out the reasn or the source quickly then I fear the death count may go sky high"
Tarzan and Jane are seen worried
Anna and Kristoff felt the same, with Kristoff suggesting "We should ask Grand Pabbie or Elsa for help when she arrives"
At one point I did think that disease/virus can't be controlled... UNTIL I READ THIS : /frozen-sequel-timeline-happened-between-movies/
