Chapter Twenty-One: Wedding Day

It was finally the day the young couple got married and everyone was busy including Elsa, who was helping Mathias look for a suitable suit to wear to Mathias's personal enjoyment. Alice was already thanks to Gerda and was waiting outside of Mathias's room. She could hear Elsa and Mathias talking about the wedding and when to tell them something. This got the young redhead curious as she tried to listen to more of their conversation but sadly heard nothing. She heard the door open and some heavy footsteps as she assumed it was Mathias.

"Alice! What are you doing outside my room?" He asked her patiently as he looked down at her. Alice didn't know what to say till she heard Elsa walk up behind him quietly scolding him for his actions.

"Gerda dropped me off here." She finally said stopping Elsa's scolding as the attention was now on her. Elsa gave her a second looked before she smiled at the young girl.

"You look wonderful Alice." The young queen complemented her in honesty. Mathias too smiled at Alice before he remembered the time and snapped his head toward Elsa.

"You need to get ready woman, last time i checked you're supposed to walk Anna down the altar." He exclaimed as he ushered her out of the bedroom doorway and he quickly remembered Alice.

"And please take Alice with you." He said and Elsa hurried back and took Alice by the hand and lead her away from his room.

"Thank you!" She heard him shout to Elsa from down the hallway and kept quiet till they were in Elsa's room. Alice sat on the bed patiently waiting for Elsa to get ready when she decided to ask her about her conversation with Mathias.

"E-Elsa, what were you and Mathias talking about." She asked causing the young monarch to freeze in her tracks. The room was deathly quiet and this got Alice nervous till she heard Elsa move toward her and sit down next to her.

"I-I don't know how to tell you, it's a perplexing situation for me at the moment." She said quietly as she rested her and on the girl's shoulder. Alice was even more confused now as she tried to put the pieces together. Elsa sighed knowing they were going to find out sooner and decided to tell her.

"Me and Mathias wanted to wait to tell all of you, but since you heard us talk i'll tell you only if you can keep it quiet till after the wedding." She said and Alice quickly nodded ushering her to continue as she wanted to know their secret.

"Well Mathias has been....courting me for a while." She told her and Alice tried to reach out for Elsa and almost fell down when the young woman caught her as Alice squealed in excitement.

"Congratulations Elsa!" She exclaimed in excitement as she hugged Elsa tighter. Elsa looked at her in disbelief but it quickly turned into a smile.

"Thank you Alice, but you must keep this a secret till after the wedding." Elsa said as she walked back to her closet but Alice stopped her.

"Wear something that will catch Mathias's attention but not to much to be the center of attention." Alice suggested and Elsa pondered on it before she undid her signature braid and let her hair fall down and went for the dress she will now wear for the wedding.

Mathias stood behind Kristoff at the altar waiting for Elsa and Anna. Both men were nervous even though they wouldn't admit it. Mathias knew why Kristoff was so nervous and wished he could give the poor man some advice before but didn't have any as this is his first time attending something like this. Mathias was nervous because of the fact he had to stand in front of a large crowd of people from different places and he wanted to beat the hell out of a few already as they looked at Kristoff in disgust. He remembered the promise he made to Elsa, saying that he won't cause a scene at her sister's wedding as it is special to her. So there he was trying to keep a lid on his ever growing temper.
