Prologue

In the Kingdom of Corona, its monarch reviewed old reports as read by a member of his staff. Since the return of his long-lost daughter, he was in much greater spirits and made a bigger effort into attending to his duties. While Corona did not decline during the "lost years", he only partially cared about his role as Corona's king. As a result, Corona fell by the wayside amidst other kingdoms and became insular. The King was about to rectify that, though it was not easy given his paramount happiness. His daughter, his baby, came home at last, and though it had been a mere two weeks since their reunion, he was often lost in happy thoughts.

"-delle's princess is to have her coronation soon."

At this, the king paid attention. "I'm sorry, what was that?"

His staff member continued without preamble. "It's the Kingdom of Arendelle, sire. Its princess is to have her coronation to queen soon."

The king pondered and collected his thoughts. Arendelle is located at the northern tip of the continent. A three-day sail away from Corona's central-eastern location, it is known for its scenery, surrounding lush forests, and its monarchs. Corona's king recalled Arendelle's king to be a friendly and open fellow who ruled his kingdom fair and just. But the news of the Arendelle's princess made Corona's king wonder.

"Arendelle's princess? Whatever happened to the king and queen?"

"Sadly sire, the king and queen of Arendelle were lost at sea when their ship was capsized in a storm."

"What? When was this?"

"About three years ago, sire."

The king then remembered. Corona and Arendelle were to meet and join in an economical alliance, with their king and queen visiting in goodwill. As he was still in despair during that time, he surely must have missed the news that the talks were postponed indefinitely due to their deaths.

"Is that so?" asked the king. With Corona on the rise again, it was time to take care of old business. As he stood up straighter on his throne, the king gave his orders.

"Very well, let us make arrangements for a visit to the Kingdom of Arendelle to celebrate the coronation of their princess. It is time for Corona and Arendelle to once again join in an alliance."

"At once, sire. Will your kingship be attending the coronation?" asked his staff member.

"No" said the king firmly. The lost years of his daughter's disappearance and kidnapping took a toll on him. He no longer had the youthful energy. With dozens of other affairs to attend to, the king could not simply just leave Corona.

"Very well, sire. What about the queen?"

"No," repeated the king. His wife, the queen, could not afford to leave either, for she was needed by his side to help him.

He then asked his staff member, "The princess of Arendelle must be of age if she is to be crowned queen. Is she ab only child?"

"No sire, the royal couple of Arendelle had two daughters. The youngest is around 18 years of age, same as our own dear princess in fact."

The king then stopped at that news. There was indeed a perfect someone to attend. Though he did not want her to go since she just returned, this was a perfect opportunity for her to try her hand at royal duties. She would be given a chance to represent Corona and would allow her to see more of the world.

It was perfect.

The king looked at his staff member.

"I know someone who can go. Please summon Princess Rapunzel."

Author's Note: For anyone who hasn't seen Frozen yet, this is likely a spoiler. Near the end of the "For the First Time in Forever" sequence, as Anna is running outside the castle gates, you can see a blink-and-miss cameo of Rapunzel and Eugene passing by. I'd like to think that, given that both share animation styles, Tangled and Frozen take place in the same universe, and that Rapunzel having her short brunette look means Frozen takes place sometime after Tangled. From there I decided to just work from that.
