Chapter Twelve: Something New

Two weeks passed since the two eventful days of mathias's stay and everything seemed back to normal. Elsa went on with her plans to teach Mathias to speak since he understood what people were saying to him. She hired some people who could teach him, seven in fact because of Mathias's anger issues when he literally throws them through the many doors Elsa had replaced for his room. Today was no exception for her. She was enjoying her afternoon stroll before getting back to work when she heard a scuffle behind Mathias's door. She jumped back in surprise when the wooden door shattered, wood splinters flying everywhere as one of the tutors fell through and hit the wall opposite of the entry way. Mathias stepped out and glared at the man as he growled at the fallen man. Elsa rushed in front of Mathias stopping him before he could advance any further.

He stopped immediately when she stood in front of him glaring at him with her icy blue eyes of hers.

"Mathias, this has to stop now." She said in the most regal tone possible trying to intimidate the taller man. His gaze softened a bit as he looked at her as if some sympathy for his actions. The tutor got back up and dusted himself off as he glared at the taller man.

"As everyone told you your majesty, you can't teach this savage anything." He muttered under his breath but sadly Elsa heard it and apparently so did Mathias as he started to growl again.

"What was that Mr. Robertson?" She asked him when she turned around to face him fully.

"W-What was what?" He asked back startled as she narrowed her eyes on him.

"He's no savage, he's a human being and my guest in this castle so show some respect." She said in her icy tone which made Mr. Robertson flinch. Mathias was about to join in but quickly noticed his feet had gone cold and he backed away from Elsa. Mr. Robertson didn't notice as he glared at Elsa with disgust.

"So you defend him, you're no better than him witch!" He hissed at her and she flinched at his words. No one noticed Mathias charge at him and held him against the wall. His face only inches from the other man as he growled at him with complete hatred.

Elsa noticed that his back was glowing bright blue up his spin and stopped at his neck. It quickly died out as he threw the man on the thin ice on the floor.

"What was that light?" She thought to herself as she walked over to Mathias and put a hand on his shoulder only to jerk her hand away for how hot his skin was to her touch. Mr. Robertson smirked from the ground as he watched the scene before him.

"Look at that, your pet came to assist, how sweet." He said with venom. Elsa stepped in front of Mathias as she looked at Mr. Robertson with disgust.

"We no longer need your assistance and are no longer welcome in my castle." She said as the guards rushed past her and took the man away. She turned around as Mathias collapsed to one knee panting.

"Are you alright?" She asked him worriedly as she knelt down beside him. She heard a crackling noise as he took an intake of breath and slowly got back up.

"Come on lets get you into your room." She said as she tried to assist the taller man into his room. Her cold skin meeting his burning skin as she finally got him to the bed. He gave a loud cry before collapsing onto the bed with Elsa next to him. He groaned as Elsa got back up and began cooling him off with her powers, summoning ice to her hands as she put her icy hand to his burning forehead.

Anna was looking for her sister with no luck but as she turned around and noticed Mathias's door was destroyed yet again. She just had enough of the man's tantrums and was going to give him a piece of her mind. She rushed down the hall toward his room ready to yell at him as she approached his room.
