Chapter thirteen: Love for the crown and poems
It was the big day.
Elsa was staring at herself in the mirror. She had a purple dress on with long black sleeves. Her hair put into a braided bun. On her two hands she wore two black gloves.
She was standing in the dressing room alone.
Today was her big coronation day...
She closed her eyes for a second and took a deep breath.
'Okay, I can do this...just remember to act like a royal.' Elsa thought.
She opened her eyes again and let out a breath of air. She held her hands to her chest as her heart was beating rapidly.
"Princess Elsa?"
Jack walked into the room. Elsa turned around to face him with a nervous smile.
"W-what is it, Jack?"
"It's time to go to the church. Prince Hans is already there."
"R-right...say, does this dress look good on me?" Elsa asked.
Jack eyes went up and down her body for a second. His eyes then rested on her face and he shrugged.
"Sure, it looks fine."
"Oh, wow..." Elsa rolled her eyes. "Thank you for the compliment."
"No, I mean..." Jack blushed and rubbed his neck. "You look beautiful."
Elsa blushed too and giggled. She put her hand up to her mouth to cover her smile.
"What?" Jack asked.
"Nothing. Let's just go."
Elsa walked out of the room with Jack following her.
They went to the church. A lot of people had gathered outside and Elsa had to be snuck in through the back door.
Inside the church were a few guests, mostly royals from other countries, the council, a priest and Hans.
Elsa stepped into the church with nervous feelings. She wanted to clamp onto Jack's arm, but thought it was better not to.
Everyone stood up as soon as Elsa walked into the church. The organ started to play and everyone hurried to the place. Elsa quickly walked up and stood next to Hans. Two crowns were in front of them.
When the prince and princess both stood in front of the priest, everyone sat down again.
Jack quickly sat down next to Kai and Hannah who were in front. He raised his eyebrows at Hannah and asked; "Hannah, why are you here?"
Hannah shrugged. "Kai invited me."
Jack looked at Kai. He thought that Kai didn't want Hannah around Elsa anymore.
Kai sighed and whispered to Jack; "She is her sister. I thought it would be nice for her to have some family around."
Elsa briefly looked over her shoulder and smiled at them. Jack smiled back and Hannah made a short wave with her hand.
The organ went quiet and the priest started the usual oath while Elsa and Hans stood in front of him in silence.
Elsa glanced at Hans. He wore a white attire with brown pants. On his chest a small flag of her kingdom was stitched together with a flag of his own kingdom.
Her gaze went back to the priest. She put her hands in front of her and folded them over each other. While the priest kept going she thought of the responsibilities her new job would bring. Now she would really represent her kingdom...what if something went wrong? Then she had no one to rely on anymore. Not her mother who would always try to calm her down and think rationally, not her father who would scold her and try to solve it more quickly...
Of course she had Hans and the servants, but none of them could really help her. Even though she was surrounded by friends, she felt completely abandoned...
"Princess Elsa?"
Elsa blinked and looked at the priest. He and everyone else stared at her. Next to her suddenly stood a servant with a feather-pen and ink.
The princess smiled at him. "Yes?"
The priest held a contract in front of her. "You need to sign this."
Elsa already saw that Hans had signed it. She grabbed the pen and dipped it in the ink. With quick hands she signed the document in mere seconds.
"Good." The priest handed the document to Kai as the man had stood up and was now standing next to him. Kai put the document in a safe file and took a few steps back to stand at the side.
"Now...it is time for the crowning!" The priest said.
Two other servants walked up to the front. They put two capes over Elsa and Hans's shoulders. Elsa's cape was a shade of darkened purple while Hans's cape was black.
The two servants then took the crowns. Elsa and Hans both lowered their heads as the two big crowns were put onto their heads.
"Everyone, hail our new king and queen; queen Elsa Rosalia Erika Christina Snow and king Hans Erik Stephan the third Westergaard."
The new king and queen turned around with serious faces. Everyone stood up and clapped in their hands.
Elsa could feel the heavy burden of the crown already. The diamond encrusted golden metal didn't only feel heavy on her head, but also on her heart.
Later on they had a big ball.
A lot of royalty from other countries were present, Hannah was there with Gerda and Kai, Hans' family was also walking around and some people from town were there too.
Elsa stood on the side together with Hans. She now had a small tiara in her hair and Hans didn't have a crown on anymore. They both also ditched the capes as it would limit them during dancing.
"Such a great day, isn't it?" Hans said to her. "You're finally a queen, I'm the king, everyone is enjoying themselves..."
Elsa managed to put a smile on her face. "Y-yes...but we haven't danced yet."
"Oh, don't worry, we'll dance soon enough...ah!" Hans noticed the king and queen of Corona moving towards them.
"Princess!" The queen of Corona, a young woman with brown hair smiled widely at Elsa. "Or should I say, your majesty? It is good to finally meet you!"
"Like-a-wise." Elsa wanted to make a small curtesy, but was stopped by Hans. Instead the other queen and her husband bowed briefly.
"My name is Rapunzel and this is Eugene!" The brown haired woman gave her husband a poke.
"I would introduce myself as Flynn Rider, but have it your way." Said her husband.
"Oh, shut it." Rapunzel rolled her eyes at him and then looked back at Elsa. "So, I've heard about your powers!"
"Really?" Elsa raised her eyebrows. "And what did they tell you?"
"Oh, nothing the others haven't heard...say, have you danced already?"
"Me?" Elsa pointed at herself.
Rapunzel giggled. "Who else?"
"N-no, I haven't."
"Really?" Rapunzel looked at Hans with a concerned look. "Shouldn't a king dance with his queen? Or is it more important to talk to others...?"
"Rapunz!" Eugene said with a warning in his voice. "Don't you start."
"No, she's right." Hans turned around and grabbed Elsa's hand. "Shall we dance, sweetheart?"
Elsa nodded. "Sure...excuse me, guys."
"Don't sweat it." Rapunzel and Eugene said in unison.
Elsa and Hans walked onto the dance floor. Hans put one hand on her waist and with the other he took her hand. Elsa put her free hand on his shoulder and they started to dance.
"Elsa..." Hans whispered her name in a low tone. "I'm sorry for what happened yesterday."
"It's alright..." Elsa said back. "You were upset at me..."
"Then could you please forgive me? Even for the future?"
"What do you mean?" Elsa asked, now a bit more wary.
"Well..." Hans spun her around and caught her again. "In the future I might...I don't know...I might hurt you again."
"What?"
"But I do love you! Even with those ice-powers."
Elsa's eyes went wide. What did he mean by that? Didn't he love her for who she was? And why would he hurt her in the future again? Was this going to be an abusive relationship?!
"Elsa?" Hans drew her a bit closer and leaned in against her neck.
"S-surely I'll forgive you..." Elsa tensed up as his hand moved up and down her waist. She held her breath as she saw his gaze change. "H-Hans...I...I...I..." She tried to speak, but the words got caught in her throat.
"Hans!"
The new king and queen stopped dancing and turned around towards the voice.
It was Christian, a man with dark hair with sideburns, greenish-blue eyes and Hans' oldest brother, who walked towards them. He grinned at them which never meant something good.
"You've finally did it." Christian said to Hans. "You're king."
Hans smirked back. "Indeed." He put his arm around Elsa's shoulders and pulled her closer. "And I have a loving wife for once. Speaking of, how is Alesia?"
"Oh, the wife is fine...even though I could use a new one!"
Christian laughed hard from his own joke while Hans only smiled a little and Elsa frowned.
"B-but..." Christian chuckled. "If it would be good, then I would love to borrow yours one time."
Elsa almost wanted to punch him or freeze him, but she held her emotions in check. The guts this man had...
"You shouldn't say that to a queen..." Elsa said without any nervousness in her voice.
"Oh really?" Christian raised his eyebrows.
"Yes..." Elsa noticed Hans his mother walking towards them. She really didn't feel like talking to her. His mother was always criticizing her, she could never do any good in the woman's eyes. Plus, she was always bringing Hans down too.
Elsa pushed Hans arm off herself and pulled away from him. "But I'm going to talk to Hannah. I saw her waving at me."
"Hannah?" Hans raised his eyebrows. "Is that such a good idea, honey? After all, she is..."
"Yes. It is. I'm going, see you soon."
Elsa quickly turned around and marched down the dance floor.
She had no time for Hans' troubling family...and he didn't even defend her against his creepy brother. What kind of husband would that man even become?!
"E-Elsa?" Hannah stuttered as Elsa walked up to her with an annoyed look on her face.
But the queen quickly realized how she must have looked at her sister and quickly relaxed her face again.
"Hannah..." Elsa smiled at her. "Enjoying the ball? You look beautiful."
Hannah was wearing a green dress with sparkling flower patterns.
"Thank you!" Hannah said. "And yes, the ball is so much fun. I honestly can't believe that you're a queen now! How does it feel?"
"Well...it feels...alright." Elsa stroke a stray of hair behind her ear. "I'm a bit nervous, that's all."
Hannah grinned. "You should enjoy yourself more then!" She made a few awkward robot-type dance moves. "Just, enjoy, life!"
Elsa giggled. "Hannah, please..."
Hannah grabbed her arms and moved them up and down.
"Come on, dance, your majesty!"
"No, no, I'm not dancing like this!" Elsa yelled while laughing. "What if my mother-in-law sees me like this?!"
"Doesn't matter, you do you!"
"Hannah!" Elsa became red when her sister moved closer to her and tried to sway even more. They were completely out of rhythm. Elsa really hoped that Hans' mother wouldn't see them...it would ruin her reputation even more.
"Wow, never seen you dance like that."
Elsa and Hannah stopped moving and turned around. Jack and Gerda were standing next to them, both with a grin.
"Jack!" Hannah quickly released Elsa. The sisters both straightened their backs with a flushed face.
"Miss Gerda!" Elsa said.
"I see you two were having fun." Gerda said. She was wearing a blue dress with sparkles on it. Gerda scratched her nose. "Not that we hadn't. I danced with mister Kai for a bit and Jack here danced with some girl."
"What girl?" Elsa asked.
Jack shrugged. "Don't know. Some princess with brown hair."
"Hm." Elsa frowned. It could be Rapunzel, but not that it would matter, since she was jealous nonetheless.
"But, your majesty, I'd rather dance with you."
Elsa went red and put her hands onto her cheeks. "Huh? Jack, what are you...?"
Jack made a small bow and extended his hand. His brown eyes bore deep into hers when he looked up at her.
"Queen Elsa, can I have this dance?"
Elsa's eyes went wide. His voice sounded silky and smooth as he asked the question. She slowly pulled hands away from her cheeks and reached with one hand towards his. When she touched his hand she could feel her heart miss a beat and her breathing becoming heavier.
"Now that's how you ask a woman." Gerda said and Hannah nodded silently.
Jack straightened his back again. He pulled Elsa in silence towards the ballroom floor.
Gerda and Hannah stayed silent for a few seconds before Gerda turned her head towards Hannah and spoke up.
"Hannah...are you okay with this?"
"Y-yeah..." Hannah sighed. "I'm not in love with him anymore...plus, Elsa deserves a little bit of happiness, have you seen her husband?"
"Yep. He's really weird. But what about Kristoff then?"
"I'm gonna go and see if there's more chocolate-cake at the food table."
Hannah turned and walked away from her. She didn't want to talk about it. Of course she cared about Kristoff, but thinking about him...
It made her heart heavier then ever.
"So..."
Jack pulled Elsa closer. He grabbed her hand and put one hand on her waist. Elsa didn't flinch at all when he touched her.
"You're finally queen." Jack said.
"I am..." Elsa whispered.
"How..."
"Please, don't ask me how it feels...Hannah asked the same thing and before I knew it we were doing a weird dance."
Jack chuckled. "Don't worry, I won't dance weirdly with you."
"Thank heavens."
Jack spun her around and caught her again. He always loved it when he had her in his arms. And the way she looked tonight...it made his heart beat faster then ever.
The music slowed down. Jack pulled her closer. He could smell her nice perfume and see her blue eyes from up close. Her lips had a small red tint of lipstick and her eyelashes were covered with mascara. How much he wanted to kiss those lips until the lipstick wore off and...
"Jack?" Elsa whispered, pulling him out of his thoughts.
"Hm?"
"I asked you if you would like to stay by my side, even now that I'm a queen."
Jack smirked. "Your majesty, you must already know the answer."
Elsa giggled. "Oh, really, repeat it to me, I tend to forget things lately."
"Well, it all started a few years ago when a certain man fell into your backyard..."
"Jack!" Elsa gave him a small kick against his leg.
Jack cringed a little at the pain. "Ow!"
"Get to the point."
"Alright. I said it last night and many times before that...I will always protect you and stay by your side."
"Oh, how will I ever get rid of you?" Elsa said jokingly.
Jack leaned closer to her and whispered, softly into her ear; "I shall make a new song, before the wind blows and it freezes and rains. My lady is trying and testing me, to find out how much I love her."
Elsa's smile was replaced with a flushed and surprised look. "A poem?"
"Indeed." Jack said as he pulled his head back to look at her. "From around 1100..."
"Really? I don't know this one. How does it end?"
Jack smiled smugly at her. "Wouldn't you like to find out?"
"Jack, don't be such an idiot." Elsa pouted. "I really want to know how it ends."
"Really?"
"Yes. Really."
Jack chuckled. He moved closer to her and whispered into her ear.
"Then meet me tonight at ten at the stables. I'll show you how that poem ends."
Elsa gasped a little. She could feel her heart pounding at his words. Jack calmly moved back with a straight face.
"Having fun?"
Jack and Elsa stopped dancing when Hans suddenly stood next to them.
Jack immediately made a bow. "Your majesty."
He acted as if nothing had been said between them. Elsa also tried to keep a straight face as much as possible, but had more difficulty doing so.
"What were you two whispering?" Hans asked.
Jack stood up straight again. "Oh, nothing special, your majesty. I was just sharing a few jokes with the queen, nothing more, nothing less."
"I see..." Hans sighed. "That's fine then. Speaking of, Elsa, my mother would like to speak with you."
Elsa scrunched her nose. "About what? Because I have done nothing wrong, believe me."
Hans grabbed her hand. "I know. But it's better to talk to her now to keep up good appearances. You don't want her to think less of you."
"Alright, I'll talk to her. Jack, you can go and dance with Hannah and Gerda. But no princesses, understood?"
Jack smiled a little at her. He found it really cute that she was a bit jealous.
After Elsa had talked with Hans' mother and father, and endured it, and she ate, communicated and danced some more, she and Hans had a parade through town on their horses.
It a bit tiring as Elsa had to keep smiling and keep a good appearance all day, but it was also fun. The citizens all threw confetti through the air, there was a live- firework show and a theater show.
After that Elsa and Hans both held a big speech. (which they of course had practiced.)
They both told their citizens that they would lead Arendelle into a better time and promised to be as good as people expected of them.
After that Elsa showed a bit of her ice powers on the big square. Everyone was clapping and cheering as she made a sculpture out of ice.
It was a bit weird, considering they were first afraid of her, but Elsa liked the positive attention.
And after the entire afternoon of partying, socializing and other things the two of them took a long break.
Elsa decided to rest in the bedroom while Hans was taking a stroll outside of town with his horse.
While she lay there she sometimes opened her eyes to quickly glance at the clock. Sometimes she would fall asleep and then suddenly wake up again.
She glanced for the seventh time at the clock when she realized that it was already 9;30 pm.
She sat up. Hans was nowhere to be seen. She wondered where he had gone. Maybe he went out drinking.
Anyway, she still had to go to the stables to meet Jack and...
Butterflies swirled around in her stomach. She didn't knew why, but it felt like she was a teenager in love. She was extremely nervous. Should she even go? Maybe Jack said it because it was in the heat of the moment.
Elsa groaned and rubbed through her hair which was now loose and untied from its bun and braid. Her little tiara lay on the side of her bed and she was just dressed in a much simpler brown dress.
What if Jack didn't show up? What if he was just messing with her...
"No..." Elsa whispered to herself. "Jack wouldn't do that."
She looked up at the clock again. It was now 9:45.
"Ah, screw it." Elsa jumped out of the bed. She stroke her dress and quickly fixed her hair in the mirror. She wanted to know how the poem was going to end. But even if he didn't show up, then she at least had a good stroll before going to bed.
Elsa managed to sneak past everyone towards the stables.
She nervously opened the creaking door and stepped into the stables. She saw her horse calmly eating on some hay. A few boxes away from Josephine were a few more empty ones and...
At the final empty box Jack was nonchalantly playing with some hay between his fingers.
When he saw Elsa walking towards him he smiled brightly and his eyes lit up.
"Hey, you came!"
"Of course I came!" Elsa said with a red face. "Now, just tell me how the poem ends..."
"Come here first."
Jack opened the stall door. Elsa reluctantly stepped into the stall, expecting it to be dirty. But the stalls were just cleaned and a thick layer of clean hay laid on the floor.
Elsa closed the door behind her.
"No one knows we're here, right?" She asked.
"No, why?"
Elsa smiled nervously. "No reason...now, tell me how it ends."
"I won't just tell you..." Jack pulled her closer to him and she bumped against his chest. "I'll also show you."
(sex-scene ahead. Just skip it if you're uncomfortable with that kinda stuff, I totally get it )
"Jack..."
Jack pushed his lips against hers. Elsa made a small noise and she put her hands against his chest. She opened her mouth and Jack entered.
The kissing grew more passionate as Jack pushed her against a wall. His hands moved to the back of her dress and started to push the buttons off.
Her dress slowly fell down to the floor. Elsa didn't think much of it and continued kissing, but Jack suddenly pulled away.
"Hold on." He said.
Elsa didn't understand it at first, but when he started to undress she nervously looked away.
"W-w-w-well, I s-s-still don't know how the poem ends." She stuttered.
Jack chuckled. He pulled his blouse and pants down and threw them on the ground. He then grabbed Elsa's hand and pulled her down to the ground. With one hand he pushed her down so that she lay on her back. He moved onto her with a mischievous grin.
"Well, no matter what quarrel she makes, she will not loose me from her bond..." He captured her lips again in a heated kiss. With his hand he brushed over her breast and Elsa squealed into the kiss.
Jack moved to her neck and started to kiss her there. Elsa moaned and threw her head back. Her world was spinning and time seemed to be standing still.
"Well.." Jack said between kissed. "No matter...what...quar...rel...she...makes..."
He moved down to her breast and licked the soft bud with his tongue.
"Ah, Jack!" Elsa felt an electric shock through her core.
Jack put his mouth completely over it and played with his tongue. Elsa clenched the hay between her fingers as she panted. With his other hand Jack massaged her other breast. And after a while he switched it up.
Elsa felt her heart racing at his touches. She wanted to ask herself what the hell she was doing with her dear servant, but didn't need to...it was like he was the only one who could give her this kind of pleasure.
After a few minutes Jack moved away from her breast. He kissed her down her stomach and Elsa giggled a little.
But when he kissed her on her center Elsa stopped giggling. The air became heavier around her as they both realized what this would all lead up to.
Jack looked up at her. His hands were on her legs and Elsa stared back at him.
"Elsa, you look beautiful." He whispered softly.
Elsa blushed. "Damn you...but are you sure about this?"
"About what?"
"You know what."
"Then yes. I am. Are you?"
"Yes." Elsa smiled at him. "Just keep it between us this time."
"Your wish is my command, your majesty."
"Oh and just finish the damn pooooooeeeeeemmmm...!"
Elsa gasped loudly as Jack suddenly dipped his head down and stuck his tongue between her folds.
"Ah, Jack, idiot!" She yelled as Jack continued to lick her.
Her hips bucked against his lips as she became wetter and wetter. Soon she came against his mouth.
"Ah..." Elsa was sweating profusely. She watched as Jack sat up again between her legs.
"You look really sexy right now, Elsa." Jack said and he wiped his lips clean. He circled around with his finger on her stomach. "And you haven't caused any ice storms yet."
"Just you wait. The ceiling will definitely freeze over if we keep at it."
Jack raised his eyebrows. "Really? I would love to see that happening."
Elsa let out a dry chuckle while she panted. "Then show me the rest of the poem."
Jack laughed. "Little bit demanding, aren't we?"
"Do I need to remind you that I'm your queen?"
"No..." Jack went down and kissed her on her lips again. He brushed with his hand against her cheek. Elsa put her own hands against his chest and felt his muscles. She moved her hands against his chest in circles. It felt warm and strong.
Jack moved away from the kiss and looked at her.
"Elsa, you have become more daring then last time."
"Last time I was drunk, remember?"
"Aren't you now?"
Elsa grinned. "Maybe a little."
Jack chuckled and gave her one more kiss before settling himself between her legs. He checked one more time and asked; "Are you sure?"
"Yes." Elsa nodded with confidence.
"Good."
Jack slowly slid into her. Elsa closed her eyes, expecting there to be a lot of pain, but there was only some light pressure.
He held still and studied her face. Elsa slowly opened her eyes again and looked back at him. Jack's hair was a mess and his face was flushed. She was proud of herself that she made him blushing for once.
"Can I move?" Jack whispered and Elsa nodded silently.
Jack grabbed her hips and moved with his own. He rocked inside of her, sliding in a continuous motion. Elsa's mouth opened further and she gasped. The light pressure turned into a much more stronger desire.
Jack moved faster and Elsa whimpered. Her body moved with him and she only wanted more. She held her arms out towards them, asking for a hug. Jack understood and went down to hug her as he continued his movements.
"She will not loose me from her bond." He panted into her ear as they moved.
"Oh..." Elsa gasped as his body moved against hers. "The poem."
"Yeah..." Jack grabbed her hand and gave it a squeeze. Elsa closed her eyes and squeezed back.
"Rather I become her servant, surrender to her..."
Elsa put her hands onto his back. She could feel the muscles of his back spasm against the palm of her hand. Jack moved down to her neck and planted a sloppy kiss against her skin.
"Ah!" Elsa yelped.
"...so she can write my name in her contract."
"What..." Elsa could feel her climax coming. She dug her nails into his back as she didn't want it to end. "J-Jack...I'm going to..."
"Me too..." Jack whispered. "Let's go together."
"Huh, what do you...ah...ah!"
Elsa felt her climax soaring through her body and so did Jack.
Something wet hit her down below and into her stomach. Jack relaxed and rested on top of her. His shaft slowly slipped out of her maidenhood.
"Jack?"
"Hm?" Jack pulled himself up and looked down at her. "What is it?"
"The poem isn't over yet, is it?"
"No it isn't."
Elsa blushed and looked up at the ceiling. It had almost completely frozen over.
She looked back at Jack and said; "Wanna finish it?"
"Now?"
Elsa rolled her eyes. She pushed him away as she sat up, then grabbed his arms, turned him around and pushed him down to the ground.
She climbed on top of him and stared directly into his brown eyes.
"Yes."
"But it only has a few more sentences." Jack said.
"Then let me take control for these last few sentences."
Without waiting for an answer Elsa grabbed his shaft and started to massage it. Jack groaned as his bulge became big again.
"Elsa..." He whispered.
Elsa smirked a little. She didn't know why, but she enjoyed seeing him completely under her control. She stopped stroking and placed a kiss on his neck.
"Sweet Jack..." She whispered against his skin before sitting up again. She looked at his shaft and gulped. There was an idea in her head, but it was very risky. Plus, she was sure that it was something a prostitute would do...but it would also be very interesting to try.
She put her hands onto his chest and pushed herself up. Elsa aligned her center onto the tip of his hard shaft.
"Elsa..." Jack grabbed her arms. "You don't have to do this."
"I want too..." Elsa said. She slowly moved down onto his bulge. "And..." She felt a little bit of pressure as she pushed herself down. "I want to try...oh my goodness!"
Elsa slumbed a bit forward as she felt how deep he was. Jack groaned and threw his head backwards.
"Ha..." Elsa sat up again. She felt how both their bodies were trembling. "I'm...I'm...going to move now..."
She lifted herself up and back down again. Jack grunted out her name while she continued her movement.
"E-Elsa..."
Elsa slowly moved up again. Her hands were trembling heavily.
All of a sudden Jack grabbed her hips. He held her up and in place as he sat up again.
"Oi, Jack, what..."
Before Elsa could ask him what he was doing Jack pulled her down again with force. Elsa arched her back and cried his name out. She felt an immense feeling of pleasure going through her. Jack pushed her up again and then pulled her down. Elsa had never seen him use such force. It was as if his primal instinct had awakened.
"Now don't go thinking I must be drunk..." Jack continued the poem as he pulled her up and down into his hips. "...if I love my good lady..."
He kissed her against her neck. Elsa gasped as he lay kissed on her sensitive skin while moving her hips up and down.
"For without her I cannot live..."
He pushed her hips down one more time and came inside of her.
Elsa gasped as she came too and rested her head against his chest. They both fell back into the hay with Elsa on top of his chest. Her head lay against his neck and she could feel his heavy breaths against her skin.
His slowly slipped out of her and Elsa let out one more gasp.
"Wow..." Jack whispered with a rough voice. "That was...something."
"That was a nice poem..." Elsa panted.
"Y-yeah..."
They both laid down there panting. Jack put his hand against her head and petted her hair. Elsa turned her head to look up at him. Her head was spinning around from their love-making-session.
"Elsa?"
"Hm?" Elsa smiled at him.
"I...I really like you."
"Me too...speaking of..." Elsa pulled away from him and sat down next to him in the hay. Jack was confused as to how she still had energy left. Elsa giggled when she saw his confused expression. "What is it?"
"Nothing..."
"Good. Anyhow, we should never speak of this to anyone. Especially not Hans. You know how he can get."
"Do you love Hans?"
Elsa frowned. She looked up at the ceiling for a second, closed her eyes and let out a sigh. She then opened her eyes again and turned her head towards him.
"It doesn't matter whether I love him or not. You know that a queen can't divorce, right? Unless her husband dies..."
"Hm...and what if you had a choice?"
"A choice?" Elsa grinned. "Right. If I had one...then...I would. But I can't."
"I see. Just like we can't be together."
"Exactly."
Elsa grabbed his hand and laid down next to him again. They both stared in silence at the ceiling.
"I'm sorry." Elsa whispered.
"For what?"
Elsa sighed. "Just...for everything..."
Jack didn't say anything back. They both just laid in silence for another few minutes, staring at the frozen ceiling.
(End sex-scene)
The next day was just as busy as ever.
As the new queen Elsa had to read through contracts, sign them, read letters, solve others problems...
The only positive thing was that Hans didn't find out about her rendezvous with Jack. And that she of course had more power than Hans as the Arendelle-born queen.
"Queen Elsa!"
Elsa sat down in the living room for a quick breather when Kai ran towards her.
"Oh no..." Elsa whispered underneath her breath. She groaned and stood up again. "Yes, Kai?"
"I'm sorry, but there are a few more letters from the kingdom of Corona. Oh and the king of Berk is coming tomorrow. And king Hans wishes to speak to you."
"Okay, I'll talk to Hans first and then look through the letters."
"Good..." Kai cocked his head at her. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine...speaking of, how are the knights doing?"
"Well, they still need new armor, but their training is going fine."
Elsa nodded. She rubbed her neck and yawned. "And...where's Jack?"
"Jack? He went grocery shopping."
"Oh..."
"Your majesty?" Kai asked. "I know I shouldn't ask this but...what is your relationship with Jack?"
Elsa's eyes widened. "My relationship with him? Nothing! He's just...a servant!"
"But you've had him for years!"
Elsa sighed. "Yes, I understand. But the fact is that Jack works for me. Of course we have become friends over the years, but I don't care much for him. He's just like any servant in this kingdom; someone who bows to their queen, but might stab them in the back at any chance they have..."
"Do you really think that of me?"
Elsa and Kai turned around to see Jack standing behind them.
"Jack!" The both exclaimed.
Jack walked up to Elsa. He stopped in front of her and looked her in the eye.
"Queen Elsa, have I not been faithful to you?" He asked.
Elsa blushed. "Yes, but..."
"And haven't I served you for years?"
"Yes..."
Jack went onto his knees and grabbed her hand. "Then I should never betray thee."
Elsa blinked a few times and then narrowed her eyes at him. "Yes, I understand."
"Good..." Jack kept a straight face, but Elsa could see a faint smile on his lips. His fingers played a bit with hers as they both kept quiet for a few seconds.
"But!" Kay suddenly spoke up again, making them turn their heads towards him. "What about your relationship with him?"
"My relationship?" Elsa chuckled lightly. "You mean our friendship? It's completely natural for a queen to have a few companions; a horse, a servant...otherwise she would get very lonely in such a big castle. Or don't you agree, Kai?"
"Of course, but-"
"Then there shouldn't be any questions then, should be?" Elsa pulled her hand away from Jack's and said to him; "Stand up, my eyes are getting tired from seeing you destroy your knees."
"Yes, you majesty." Jack immediately jumped.
"Oh and Kai?" Elsa smiled at him. "Make sure the docks are cleaned up. We don't wish for anything to go wrong, do we?"
"N-no, queen Elsa! I'll get right to it!"
Kai quickly hurried out of the room in a fright. Elsa let out a deep breath and rubbed her neck.
Jack looked at her. She seemed more tired than usual.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
Elsa sighed again. "Yes, it's just...everything is a lot of work. No wonder my parents were always so stressed. And no wonder my father was so strict on me. One wrong move and everything crumbles. He almost thought that we..."
"I know." Jack took a step closer and grabbed her hands. "Not that we can blame him...I mean, if I would to tell my friends..."
"Then you would be executed." Elsa said in an annoyed voice. "And please, take a step back, a maid might see us."
Jack released her hands again and took a step back. "Anyways, maybe we should be a bit more official with one another."
Elsa raised her eyebrows at him. "What do you mean?"
"Well, there was some truth in what you were saying back there. We have been a bit close lately."
Elsa shrugged. "So? We're always close..." She blushed and avoided his gaze and whispered; "Not as close as last night though..."
"Elsa, I don't think that we should do that anymore..." Jack whispered back, now flushed as well. "What if someone finds out?"
"True, but still..." Elsa moved closer to him and whispered; "I can't forget about that poem...how did it go again?"
"Queen Elsa..."
"Never mind, I'll look it up."
Elsa took a step back and giggled when she saw Jack's face. His eyes were wide and his face was red.
"I was just joking!" Elsa giggled again and gave him a slap on his arm. "Calm down, I know that we can't do those kind of things anymore!" She straightened her back and put her hand out towards him. "From now on we'll be more professional, okay?"
Jack chuckled. His blush faded away and he shook her hand. "Understood, your majesty."
"Okay, what are you two doing?"
Hans walked into the room with a questioning look on his face. Elsa and Jack quickly pulled their hands away and Jack made a quick bow while he took a step back.
"Nothing, I was just making a joke." Elsa said quickly. When she saw how Hans was still staring at her with this look that said that he might not believe her, she continued; "The handshake, remember when you met my sister and Gerda? Hannah's friend tried to give me a handshake and I didn't knew what that was, so now Jack's teaching me. We, uhh, were just joking while trying to do it right, I swear!"
Hans stared at them for a few more seconds when he suddenly started to laugh.
"Oh, Elsa, Elsa..." Hans grinned at her. "You shouldn't apologize for your relationship with Jack...you do need a friend in this kingdom, right?"
"Sure..." Elsa smiled nervously at him. She didn't knew what to expect. Hans knew about them doing 'it', was he really okay with them being so close all the time?
Hans put his hand around Elsa's shoulder and pulled her against his chest. "As long as Jack remembers the rules, right?"
He stared at Jack with a smile. Jack frowned at first, but then made a small bow and lowered his head.
"Yes, your majesty."
"Good, now, run along like the little errand boy you are. I have something to talk with Elsa about."
"Of course, king Hans."
Jack straightened his back and ran off. Elsa pulled away from Hans. She folded her arms and looked at him.
"Hans, what did you need to talk about?"
"Tomorrow I'm gone to my family. Since I got married, my brother wanted to talk with me about some important business. I know the king of Berk is coming tomorrow, but I really have to got. It's about trading between my homeland and your kingdom, so I really need to go, alright?"
"Understood..." Elsa pursed her lips. "It's just too bad that you're not here when the new king arrives...I mean, it would be nice to have you by my side for even one task. Lately we have been doing all sort of tasks, but separately."
"I know..." Hans put his hands onto her shoulders. "But don't worry, after I've visited my brother, we'll have all the time in the world to solve more problems together...and we'll have even more time to do other things as well."
"Right. Just..." Elsa swallowed nervously. She really had a hard time to keep her powers in check. Hans his hands were resting on her shoulders and it reminded her of the last time when he tried to choke her. "Just...make sure to give him my regards."
"Of course." Hans gave her a small kiss.
Meanwhile Hannah was busy working at the whore house. She was sweeping the floor, lost in her thoughts.
Why did Elsa never tell her about her powers? Why did she keep it a secret? And why was her husband so weird? And where was Kristoff now? Would he have safely reached Corona or...
She shook her head. She shouldn't be thinking about that jerk! He left her because she had a crush on Jack, who would do that?! And when she didn't confess her love to him he got all cold...
She sighed. What was she even thinking? He was gone. There was no reason to think about him anymore. He would never return and she would probably end up with some old guy who lived on a farm...unless someone found out that she was a princess, but not that anyone would...
"Hannah!" Gerda walked towards her with a frown. "What are you daydreaming about?! This floor isn't going to sweep itself!"
"Nothing...I just..." Hannah looked down at the floor. "Gerda...am I...am I a spoiled brat?"
"What?!" Gerda chuckled. "Pffft, of course not! You're a hard worker! What made you ask that?"
"I was just...thinking about what I said to Kristoff...I broke off our friendship because I didn't want to go further and look where it brought me...I lost him and he's never coming back!"
"Oh, Hannah..."
"And on top of that I'm Elsa's sister, but there's nothing I can do to mend our relationship! Hell, I don't even freaking know how to act like a princess!"
Gerda took a step forward and grabbed her shoulders. She sternly said with a soft voice; "Hannah, listen to me. Your a sweet and brave girl. Don't forget that. I know that it's hard now; you fell in love with Kristoff and out of love with Jack and your sister has ice-powers!"
Hannah shook her head. "I'm not in love with Kristoff..."
"Oh really?" Gerda pulled back and crossed her arms. "Tell me, do you ever think of him when he's not there?"
Hannah shrugged. "Sometimes, I guess...when I think of a good joke then I'm like; Kristoff would have laughed at this..."
"Okay, and do you feel guilty about sleeping with him?"
Hannah became red. She nervously coughed. "Ahem...s-sleeping with Kristoff? I...uhm...I..."
"There you go. You like him."
"W-what?!"
Gerda chuckled. "If you didn't then you wouldn't have become so embarrassed, love."
"I..." Hannah closed her mouth abruptly and leaned against her broom. She groaned. "I just...it's all so annoying! Kristoff is such an idiot, he didn't pick on anything I ever said, he immediately gave up...and what should I do about Elsa?! She is my sister, but I barely know anything about her!"
"Then how about you visit her for a cup of tea?"
"Hm?" Hannah looked confused at Gerda.
Gerda chuckled. "You don't get to know her like this. Just...when she's less busy you can ask her for a cup of tea."
"You're right...when she has a bit more time, then I'll surely ask her. And then I can finally learn more about her..." Hannah smiled a little.
"That's the spirit!" Gerda yelled. "Now while your mood is up you can sweep even harder!"
Hannah rolled with her eyes.
"Yes, ma'am..."
She started to sweep again, but this time with more confidence.
The next day Elsa was standing at the docks. Today was the day the king of Berk would be coming to visit. Jack was standing behind her with Thiana. Hans was still at his family's home, so he couldn't be there, but Elsa knew that she could do it alone. Kai was standing next to her together with a few knights as they waited for the ship to arrive.
Jack stared at Elsa. She was wearing a beautiful blue dress with a light blue flower-pattern on it. Her hair was up in a high ponytail. She had her back to him, but he could sense the nervousness from her.
Thiana smirked at him. She leaned to him and slowly whispered to him; "How was it?"
"How was what?" Jack whispered back.
"You know...the poem."
Jack became red and took a step away from her. Thiana covered her mouth with a hand to cover up a giggle. Jack knew that she somehow knew what happened between him and the queen of Arendelle and groaned in annoyance.
While Jack was annoyed with Thiana, Elsa noticed a ship moving towards the dock. She nervously gulped and straightened her back.
This was it...if this deal went wrong, then they wouldn't have any new armor and Berk would probably wage war upon them...
Elsa put her hands against her chest. She knew she had to be strong right now...otherwise...
All of a sudden they heard a loud roar.
Out of the sky a black dragon flew down to the ground. It landed in front of Elsa's feet, just when the ship came ashore and the crew of the ship jumped of to put the ropes around the pillars to steady the ship.
Everyone held her hands in front of them as the dragon landed. It flapped with its wings, creating a lot of dust.
Elsa closed her eyes to avoid getting dust in them. But when the dragon calmed down and the dust cleared she could hear a low voice.
"So, we finally meet, ice queen."
TO BE CONTINUED
Also here is the full poem, should anyone want to know:
I shall make a new song
before the wind blows and it freezes and rains.
My lady (ma dona) is trying and testing me,
to find out how much I love her.
Well, no matter what quarrel she makes,
she will not loose me from her bond.
Rather I become her servant, surrender to her,
so she can write my name in her contract.
Now don't go thinking I must be drunk
if I love my good lady;
for without her I cannot live...
