Chapter Nine: Festival Gone Wrong

Elsa and Anna were standing at the castle gates after they got ready and waited for Kristoff, Alice and Mathias. It wasn't long for Alice to appear with the help of Gerda, she was wearing a light green dress with a v at the neck, her skirt stopped at her ankles with a glinting silver touch to the dress. Her hair was tied into a bun similar to Anna's. Elsa smiled at the girl remembering how Anna looked at her coronation.

"Alice, you look stunning." Anna said in awe as she walked up to her. Elsa was brought out of her daze realizing that Anna doesn't know that the girl is blind yet and hurried to interfere before she said the wrong thing.

"Um Anna, come here for a moment." Elsa called her sister. Anna quickly walked over to her older sister.

"Whats wrong?" Anna asked as she noticed Elsa's worried expression.

"A-Alice is blind so try not to say anything to make her feel bad alright." Elsa told her. Anna was silent which was a big surprise to her but she reluctantly agreed and they both went back to the girl who was left by herself.

"Who are we waiting on?" Alice asked as the two older women approached her.

"We're waiting on Mathias and Kristoff my soon to be brother-in-law." Elsa said giggling behind her hand at the last part.

"Your getting married your highness, congratulations." Alice said in excitement. Anna's face flushed red in embarrassment and quickly shushed her.

"Not so loud it's gonna be a surprise till later." Anna explained. Elsa had a mischievous smirk on her face.

"You might keep it a secret, but i'm going to announce it tonight during the festival." Elsa said with a small giggle. Anna was taken back by her sister's words.

"You wouldn't dare." Anna challenged, this only made Elsa laugh more but it quickly subsided.

"I'm queen and i will announce your engagement to Kristoff Bjorgman." Elsa said keeping her queen like posture as she did. Anna was about to reply until she spotted Kristoff walking up to them. He wore a plain black suit with the boots to matched his vest was unbuttoned all the way revealing the white shirt underneath.

"Mr. Bjorgman." Elsa greeted him.

"Your majesty." Kristoff replied with a slight bow.

"We're waiting on Mathias now?" Kristoff asked as he did a head count.

"Yes and it makes me wonder what's taking him so long." Elsa said as she looked ahead.

Meanwhile, Mathias was growling in protest for the shoes Kai suggested for him to wear for the festival.

"Oh, for gods sake put them on! You're going to be late." Kai said getting irritated by the taller man's actions. This got Mathias quiet for a moment wondering what to do. He looked Kia up and down then back at the pair of shoes on the floor. He sighed in defeat and started to put the shoes on with difficulty for a while before finally getting them on. He smirked in triumph before Kia interrupted his moment.

"Shall we get going?" Kia asked as he opened up the door. The taller man nodded his head and followed the butler out of the room. It was quiet between them until Kia broke the silence.

"I can't believe they are still going through with the festival after what happened earlier. At least our queen is safe thanks to you, you really are destructive from what i heard from some of the guards." Kai said as he looked back at Mathias. The taller man looked at him with a curious expression and Kai decided to change the topic.
