Reincarnated Ice Warmer (GxG)

Chapter 19

~ Following the trail, part 2 ~

Narrator POV:

The maid has made it back to the castle and now is in search of Kristoff and his reindeer, Sven, so they could help her follow the aura, yet instead of finding the man, she finds the princess.

"Diana, didn't you ask for a free day?"

"I did, but believe me or not, I am not here for work, or the Queen, as a matter of fact, I am searching for Kristoff, have you seen him, Princess?"

"No, I haven't, but he should be somewhere around here, I think Olaf is with him... And I already told you to stop calling me 'Princess' and call me by my name"

"Yeah, well, I will only do that when my status will match yours"

"You can be quite stubborn, no wonder Elsa needs rest from you," Anna says sighing.

"Indeed, to both of those statements" Diana answers back.

"Anyway, why are you looking for Kristoff?"

"Hmm... I need some help"

"Help? What's wrong?" Anna asks showing some worry.

"While it's flattering to see a Princess worried for me, nothing's wrong, I just need him and Sven, oh and his sled, to do something for me"

"Good... So what is this 'something'?"

"Oh, you know, this and that"

"Mhm, mhm, this and that, what may that be?"

"And you say I am 'stubborn'"

"I walked up a mountain for my sister and punched a prince, so yes, I am stubborn, now, come on, answer the questions, I want to know"

"Mhm... Fine, so, seeing as I basically live here in the castle, for convenience purposes, I thought why not 'hire' Kristoff for some light work of getting the small amount of personal stuff that I have back in my little home"

"Oh, yeah, I guess that's a fair idea, why... Kristoff, though? Couldn't you just ask anybody, since, you know..." Anna clumsily points to the maid's red hair, getting a chuckle out of her.

"Yes, yes, everybody falls before the Scarlet Angel's feet just to follow her command... No, but if seriously speaking, unlike them? I won't have to use my 'populiarity' or pay the ones that wouldn't want to help me"

"Oh, I see, you want this done for free"

"Indeed, I do, Princess, astute observation, if I do say so myself"

"Well, I do agree with the idea, I myself only paid him in some carrots and he helped me up the mountain for Elsa's ice castle... Which went quite differently than I imagined"

"Oh, yeah, sorry for that"

"Huh? Why are you apo- Oh... Oh. N-no, no, that's not what I-I meant..." Anna gets red realizing what Diana meant "I thought that I would get Elsa to come back... I... uh... am going to just go... Good luck" The princess states and starts walking away.

"Whoops" Diana mutters to herself "Wait, Princess, take this bag, there's plenty of snacks for you and the Queen" Anna stops in her track to escape, turns around, and quickly walks back, takes the bag out of the maid's hand, nods and turns around to leave again, all without saying a word.

"I would love to listen to your story on how you made it up the mountain with Kristoff" Diana screams at the hastily leaving princess.

"Yes, next time, bye" Anna answers and disappears out of view due to walking behind a corner.
