Chapter Twenty-Five: Outcome

Mathias was glad he was now able to leave his room and yet he was saddened as he realized Elsa wouldn't be entertaining him anymore. A smile came across his face as he remembered the evenings they shared after Elsa finished her schedule for the week and all the dresses she wore as she laid with him on the blanket covered balcony from the evenings till the speck of dawn. He frowned as he remembered the council and what they are trying to do to Elsa.

"She doesn't want anyone else, so why would they force their queen to even be near a man who is nothing but problems?" He thought in disgust as the thought of what Joseph did to her forcing his lips onto her's. It was a nice afternoon and he wanted to spend some of the day with Elsa and Alice before he went after the council for their stupidity. Anna and Kristoff should be back soon so he wanted to get some more time with Elsa before they got back. He turned around another corner to see the woman he wanted to see today as she was approaching him with a small smile on her lips.

"Good afternoon Mathias." She greeted him as she stopped in front of him. Mathias let out a low chuckle and smiled at the young queen standing before him and leaned against the nearest wall with his arms crossed.

"Good afternoon to you too Elsa." He replied back as the young queen stepped closer to him and looked into his amber eyes as he stared back at her. She leaned up and kissed his lips lightly earning a low grumble from Mathias's throat as she slowly pulled away. The bewildered look on his face made her laugh a little but was silenced when Mathias pulled her closer to him as she gasped in surprise before he crashed his lips to hers. When they finally broke apart they both tried to catch their breath as they stared into each other's eyes. Mathias chuckled once he catched his breath and Elsa just smiled at him as he assumed his position against the wall.

"I didn't expect that." Mathias said with a toothy grin on his face as Elsa tried to fight back the blush creeping upon her face but maintained the smile she had.

"There's a lot of things you won't be expecting from me." She said catching Mathias's attention as he looked at her in interest.

"Now i'm curious. What are these things you speak of?" He asked and Elsa just giggled at him before walking next to him.

"You'll find out in due time when i'm ready." She whispered sending chills of excitement down Mathias's back as he looked at her in confusion but didn't want to push further in the matter as she seemed to be embarrassed enough as it is.

"So how are you feeling now that you're free to leave your room?" She asked him and Mathias's smile dimmed a little which caused her to worry.

"I-I'm glad to be out of the room and all but.... i'll miss those days we had on the balcony." He said causing the young queen to sigh in relief knowing nothing is seriously wrong.

"So you miss me in all my dresses i put on for you?" She asked him curiously with her left brow arched as she awaited his answer.

"yes, because you were so breathtaking each time you walked into my room with a different dress. Each one was more stunning than the last and i loved every moment of it.' He admitted with a chuckle as he pushed himself away from the wall. He reached over and gently grabbed her chin tilting her head up till she was looking him in the eyes.

"Anna and Kristoff will be here soon and i want to spend as much time with you and Alice till then." He said with a hint of mischief in his voice as he smirked at her. Elsa sighed knowing she wouldn't be able to spend some highly needed time with him and this didn't go unnoticed by Mathias.

"I guess not." He said with a small smile before an idea came to him. He looked at Elsa closely and she got a little nervous and stepped back a bit.
