Kai opened the huge palace doors excitedly seeing how the queen returned safely to her home. But his face suddenly changed when he realized that Kristoff's body was lying on the back of the sled.

As they crossed the doors, Anna got out carefully and went to hug Kai who received her with great tenderness.

"Your Majesty, Sir Kristoff..." he dared to ask when the hug was undone.

"Don't worry about him. He's just sleeping." Kai breathed in relief. "I'm sorry Kai, I'm afraid I need your help again."

"Anything for you, M'Lady."

"I need somebody to take Kristoff to his room. It's been a really tough day and he needs to get proper rest. And most of all, I need you to gather the guard as soon as possible."

"I'm going right now."

Kai ran to give the voice and sent two strong men from the service to carry Kristoff to his bedroom.

The guard was already gathering when Anna, still accompanied by Sven, could hear the euphoric voice of her best friend.

"Anna!!!"

"Olaf!" Anna leaned down to receive him with open arms.

"You are alright!" The snowman said, embracing her as best he could with his little arms.

"Olaf, I don't know how to thank you; you've saved us all," she told him with a sweet smile.

"Me?" he asked all puzzled.

"Of course. You made sure Elsa came to help us. Without you, all this wouldn't have had a nice ending. Thank you."

Olaf laughed proudly and shyly.

"So... Hans is no longer on the loose?" he asked this time feeling relieved.

"No. Elsa is making sure he doesn't forget how cold this kingdom can get."

"Ow..." Olaf could imagine the situation. He knew that Elsa was full of love, but he also knew the resentment she felt for the one who did so much harm to her sister.

"Tell me, Olaf, would you make me one more favor?" Anna asked feeling that she was abusing the kindness of all her loved ones.

"Of course! Ask me for whatever you want!" he answered excited at the idea of being useful to the young woman as she laughed at his reaction.

"Sven has had a really rough day too. Would you be so kind as to accompany him to the barn and give him a good bunch of carrots?"

"Consider it done!"

Sven started jumping with excitement and Olaf was on his way before Anna could thank him again.

"Come on Sven! On the way, I'm going to tell you the story of how I saved the kingdom for the second time!"

Anna watched with a smile how they walked away while enjoying how much loved she felt in that place.

Soon, the entire guard was informed of Hans' whereabouts and of the new instructions affecting his person, and they set out in search of him.

With her duty accomplished, Anna went inside the palace and met Gerda who also received her with a big hug.

"Bless you, little one," she said, giving her a motherly kiss on the forehead.

"Thank you, Gerda," Anna answered enjoying the hug. "Now I head to Kristoff's bedroom. I want to be able to explain what happened when he wakes up. Please, would you bring some food? I think she'll wake up with an appetite," Anna laughed at the thought of her fiancé devouring the food.
