After a while, Hiccup gained back consciousness. He opened his eyes slowly to only realize he was in his room. He turned to his left and saw his betrothed, Astrid.

"A-astrid.."

Astrid's eyes widened and was smiling from ear to ear.

"Hiccup!"

"What's up?"

"How do you feel?"

"Well... better..."

"Good!"

"By the way, what time is it?"

"Um...."

Astrid looked at the clock nearby.

"3o'clock in the afternoon."

Hiccup was trying to get out of bed when Astrid stopped him.

"Hey, where do you think your going?"

"To the Great Hall!"

"Any why's that?"

"Oh, well to deal with some unresolved business with my cousin."

"You mean that psychopath that was the main cause of this problem and your injuries?"

"Our injuries."

The two let out a laugh.

"Well, I'll help you to the Great Hall. You probably can't walk properly for the next few days. Plus, Gothi wants you to stay in bed."

"Thanks Astrid."

Soon, the two headed to the great hall.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Some time later, the couple reached the Great Hall, sitting right next to Stoick, the chief.

Many berkians came too. They wanted to see what the sentence it would be when you dare to hurt a member of the haddock family, let alone the heir to the throne.

Soon, Frey finally arrived.

"Fellow berkians, today we witness the sentence of Frey Haddock." Stoick continued. "He has kidnapped the heir of Berk, my son, Hiccup Haddock. Besides that, he has also sexually assaulted Hiccup's betrothed, Astrid Hofferson."

Everyone gasped in shock. Whispers could be heard.

"So not true!" Frey defended himself.

Stoick turned to Astrid.

"I-I..." Astrid stuttered on her words.

Hiccup put his hand on her shoulder.

"It's okay. Just tell them if you want to. Or do you want me to?" Hiccup whispered.

"It's fine..." Astrid whispered back.

Hiccup nodded and kiss Astrid on the cheek.

Astrid arose from her seat.

"It is not true. He forcefully kissed me on the lips and... slapped my butt. All without my consent...."

Everyone gasped in shock and turned their attention to Frey.

"What! Your my soulmate! As well as MY future wife!" Frey said.

Hiccup was about to speak but Astrid did it first.

"First of all, I am not your soulmate and definitely NOT your future wife. Two, did you not hear what the chief said? I am betrothed to Hiccup Haddcok. And I assure you, I have and is not planning to do so! Third, there are true witnesses that are in this hall. Mainly the dragon Riders on Dragon's edge. I mean what were you expecting! Everyone there saw it! So stop denying it, you'll only make your sentence worse! Third, you physically assaulted MY boyfriend! Your lucky he did not lay a finger on you! And instead of apologizing, you decided that if would be a good idea to kidnap Hiccup and what? Swap lives with him? Did you think no one would notice! All because of your selfish, dimwitted idea, people actually got hurt!"

The great hall went silent.

Hiccup looked at Astrid. She was fuming with rage. She was about to take out her axe when Hiccup took her hand an stopped her.

"Hey, it's okay. Don't need for drastic measures. He got your message."'

Astrid sat down and left her head on Hiccup's shoulder.

"Enough. Frey Haddock, do you plead guilty of your crimes?"

Frey nodded in embarrassment.

"Alright. As your punishement, you will be sentenced t-"

But was cut off my Frey.

"Sentence? You have to be kidding! Yes I am a Haddck, your nephew and Hiccup's cousin but I'm not a Hooligan, am I? By right, you can't sentence me! You have no right to do so."

Stoick just laughed.

"Yes, very true but what about my brother? I'm sure he can do tons of things with you. After all, you are part of his tribe, let alone son."

"W-what?"

"What? You didn't expect I would tell your father about the crimes you committed?"

"N-no! You can't tell him! He'll kill me!"

"A bit too late, dear nephew. He is already on his way to come fetch you as we speak."

Frey was frightened for his life. His father wasn't really the easy to forgive type. He doesn't forgive people over small matter. And he knew that what he did wasn't a small matter, but quite to opposite.

"P-please! You have to help me!"

"Help you? Did you forget what you said? Your not a Hooligan, your not a part of my tribe. What rights do I have to help you? I hope you feel remorseful now."
