The young Queen of Arendelle felt peaceful for the first time in her life. After the great thaw, Elsa had never been better, she was finally free and could do whatever she want to. She wasn't living in fear now and felt loved by everyone after her sister's act of true love that was seen by everyone.

Her people accepted her and was proud of Elsa being their Queen.

That event happened three months ago and now, Elsa was back to her normal life without hiding to everyone. She was free, happy and content with her life with her sister, Anna and her friend Kristoff.

Now the Queen of Arendelle was quietly sitting in front of her desk, finishing the trade agreements she has with a nearby kingdom. Elsa should probably felt tired or exhausted but instead, Elsa felt excited. You see, she was already awake early in the morning and started her day and but the Queen didn't care. She was happy doing her duties.

Maybe because she enjoying her life right now unlike before...

"Elsa!"

Jerking her head up from her papers, a smile tugged on her lips as the door burst opened, revealing a certain, energetic, redhead Princess.

"Anna." Elsa greeted her sister gently while Anna closed the door behind her and ran towards her sister to give her a hug.

Anna pulled away and smiled warmly at her sister, "Are you busy? You've been here for hours! You should take a break!"

Elsa hummed in response before she looked down on her work. Sighing, the blonde Queen carefully arrenged her papers before she stood up and smiled at her sister.

"I guess I'll take a break for now. What does my little sister have in mind?" She asked playfully and this made Anna jumped in excitement.

"Great! I told Kai that you and I would eat down the town! Their food there was delecious, Elsa! Kristoff and I already tried there and you should too!" Anna was rambling again and Elsa was glad and happy just hearing her sister like this...it even made her day brighter.

"Alright, alright Anna. Let's go." The Queen said with a small laugh.

Elsa and Anna dismounted on their horses accompanied by their Captain and four royal guards.

The Queen and Princess linked their arms together as they excitedley enetered inside the restaurant.

Instantly, when the door opened all eyes fell on them and then they all stood up and bowed their heads at the two royals.

Elsa smiled polietly at them. Her eyes scanned the area and the place was quiet refreshing. It was pleasant in her eyes.

Suddenly, a man with a mustache appeared in front of them. A smile greeted them as he dipped his head at them.

"Your majesty and your highness. It's an honor, follow me please." He said and gestured his hand to follow him and he led them by a table.

Anna lightly squeezed her sister's arm and grinned, "This is so nice! Why we hadn't done this before? Especially you, you should really make appearance more often. People loves you, Elsa." Anna told her sister.

The Queen took a deep breath and bit her lip.

"Yeah but...I'm really busy Anna. It's not that I don't want to make appearance it's just...Queenly duties you know." She said as both of them took a seat across from each other.

Anna nodded her head, "I understand that Elsa. I just don't want you to stay in the same room again." Her sister's voice become quiet and there was a hint of sadness. Elsa knew what Anna was talking about.

"Anna..." Elsa sighed and reached for her sister's hand and gave it small squeeze, "That won't ever happen again I promise. Things were different now and we're not looking back, ever again okay?"

Anna smiled at hee sister, "Alright."

"Here's the menu your grace."

Both of their heads looked up and took the menu from his hands. Anna and Elsa began to choose their food.

Both were happy as they enjoyed the day.

Evening came, Elsa found herself inside the throne room among with her councilmen. She sat and waited until her people was completed.

Elsa placed her hand atop of her lap and straigtened her back.

"Your majesty, we are...asking for your consent if it is okay we could discuss about the kingdom's future."

One of her councilmen timidly started the meeting. Elsa gazed and said nothing at him first so the man continued.

"I mean, your majesty. We respect your decision that you aren't fond of this idea and the fact that you aren't ready just...yet. But, on the third day our Kingdom will be having Arendelle's Gala festival where different Kingdom's would come to our - "

"What is your point here, Sir? Please." Elsa cut her off gently and gave the man a tentative small smile, showing him that she wasn't mad about this topic.

The old man sighed in relief, "What I mean is your majesty that...at least you could try to look for young men, perhaps a King or a Prince that would catch your interest." He said slowly, "For Arendelle's future. And her majesty is already capable of bearing a child."

The Queen stiffened at first, she cleared her throat awkwardly and looked down for a moment then gazed at them again.

"I...understand your concern for me and for this Kingdom. Since Anna is still young and I will not yet allow her and Kristoff to marry each other...I know this topic is will ensue at the right time, like now." Elsa spoke loudly but with control and all eyes were on her, "It's not that I'm not fond of this topic. I'm just simply not yet ready to face...the concept of marriage." She said and blushed a little, "I hope all of you understand. However..." The Queen sighed and smiled a little, "I will try, At the Gala festival."

A series of sighs and small laughs with great delight sounded inside the room.

Elsa shook her head a little and a moment later, she finished the meeting.

A soft knock on his door startled him a bit. His head jerked up from his sketchbook. Sighing, he stood up from his bed and walked towards his door.

"Who is it?" He called softly but didn't open the door.

"It's Sophia, your highness. I came here to say that Queen Allia is requesting for your presence in her study."

Shaking his head, he looked down and took a deep breath, "Alright, I'm coming. Thank you Sophia." He replied.

"Y-Your welcome Prince Erik."

Erik furrowed his eyebrows in confusion as he heard the servant hurriedly walked away from his door. Well, for him, he wasn't really a royal. Shrugging his shoulder, Erik went back to his bed and gently put his sketchbook atop of it before he left his room quietly.

Upon reaching the Queen's study room. Erik braced himself before he opened the door. His ears were greeted by Queen Allia's laughing voice along with her son, Prince Gregory.

Closing the door behind him, Erik stood there and waited until he was noticed by his half brother, who was sitting on the comfotable long couch with a glass of wine in his hand.

"Ah, my bastard brother is here." He chuckled and because of that, Queen Allia looked over her shoulder and forced a smile at him.

Erik sighed as he licked his lips, "Is there anything I can do for the both of you?" He asked.

Queen Allia stood up and gently tugged his arm and guided him to sit beside his brother.

"Nothing, my dear Erik. For now, we have a good news." The Queen excitedly said as she clapped her hands.

Erik refused to roll his eyes and so waited.

"The Kingdom Arendelle invited us to come in their Gala festival. We will be leaving tomorrow." She said happily causing his son, Prince Gregory to grin.

Confused, Erik chuckled a bit and stared at the Queen, "So, you two are leaving? Why are you...saying this to me?" He asked confused.

Gregory sighed and looked at him, "I took pitty on you since you are staying inside this castle for years. I told mother that you will come with us so that you would breath some fresh air, you like that don't you, brother?" He whispered the last part and playfully nudged him by his shoulder.

"You know that I'm totally fine staying here while you are away, right?" Erik said and looked at Gregory, he glared at him, "I don't need your pitty Greg."

"Don't make us pitty on you even more Erik. We're letting you to come with us, now you're saying things like this in front of me? Us? You're just a bastard child - "

"That is enough! The two of you!" Queen Allia snapped the two young men and both remained still.

Gregory shook his head and stood up, "I'm going back to my room." He said started to walk away.

Erik watched as Gregory opened the door and shut it behind him with a thud. He then slowly looked at Queen Allia.

The Queen straightened her back and took a small sip on her coffee, "You're coming with us Erik, after all I don't want my people out there to think that I'm mistreating you." She said and cleared her throat, "Since my husband is dead...he told me at least to give you a life of a royal. And that's all I can give to bastard child like you."

Erik swallowed the lump in his throat. He didn't say anything because, to be honest, there was nothing so much to tell. So, he stood up and looked down at the Queen.

"Is that all?"

"There's one thing I need to tell you." Queen Allia said and looked up at him, "When we arrived in Arendelle I want you to remain behind the shadows. If you could keep yourself away from the two sisters, especially the Queen. Me and my son discussed this already and I want him to win the young Queen's heart." She smiled and tilted her head slightly, "I think you know what I mean."

"Believe me." Erik said, "I know."

"Then we're good. You may now leave."

He didn't say anything or bow his head at her, instead he strode out of the Queen's room.
