The three musketeers

Chapter 32

The bells rang through the air, signaling the start of the coronation.

Hans sat in the dungeon, fuming. He had gotten beat by a girl! No, four! And one of them happened to be a princess!

Suddenly Jasper appeared in the doorway of the cell. "Jasper" Hans gasped, scrambling to his feet. "Get me out of here"!

"That's the plan" Jasper gasped for breath and inserting a key into the lock. The cell sprang open and Hans hurried out. "Come on" he cried, running down the long and damp hall. "We can still get rid of Hiccup"!

Hiccup was pacing in the hall just in front of the throne room, where to coronation was being held. His heart was racing as he listened to his father give his final speech as King.

He thought about last night, how Hans tried to kill him. If it hadn't been for Crystal he wouldn't be here. He ran his fingers through his hair, but accidentally pushed off his crown.

He sighed and brant down to pick up the golden thing. He slid it into his hair just as he heard his father say, "now presenting your future king, Hiccup"!

Hiccup spun around just as the double doors opened. He saw the entire town of Arendelle starring straight at him, expectantly.

He gulped as he started to walk towards his father, who was at the other end of the throne room.

Out of the corner of his eye he looked around for Elsa and Crystal, but he didn't see either of them.

He reached his father and got down on one knee before him. (I have no idea how coronations work!😂). Zachary cleared his throat.

"We are here today to celebrate my son taking his rightful place on the throne of Arendelle"!

There was a thunderous applause from the audience. But Hiccup couldn't here anything. His mind was on Elsa and Crystal. Zachary continued his speech.

"Today we have a new ruler. Me and my lovely wife have taken are turn". Hiccup looked slightly off to the side where his mother, Jack and Anna were smiling. Anna have him a thumbs up. It didn't help Hiccups nerves however.

Hiccup looked back up at his father. "Today my boy becomes a King! Now presenting" Zachary paused to grab his old crown. It gleamed in the sunlight, streaming through the windows.

Using one hand Zachary removed Hiccups other crown and set it aside.

He started lowering to crown closer the Hiccups head. "King Hi-".

"NO"!

Zachary jerked the crown back just as Crystal Snowflake shot out from the side. Hiccups eyes widened as she suddenly flipped over him, grabbing something.

He jumped to his feet. "Your back"!

She turned to face him and his heart stopped cold. She was still wearing her mask and outfit from the night before, but that wasn't it. She was holding an arrow.

"Wha" Hiccup gasped and looked around. He froze as he spotted Hans at the entrance to the room, throwing a bow and arrow the the ground.

"Nice to see you again Hans" Crystal sneered, reaching for her sword.

Suddenly her friends appeared, each in their costumes from the pervious night, weapons in hand.

Anna pulled out two boomerangs from who-knows-where and joined the girls.

Hiccup started backing up. Hans was loose. Hiccup was terrified. He almost had been killed... again.

"Get them" Hans roared, "And this time do it right"! Men came charging from all directions to attack the prince and the girls.
