The Snow Queen And The Frost Prince.

I sighed as my shoes clicked down the long hallway.  I slowly walked down the stairs knowing that soon I'd be having dinner with my sister and hans.

It was not anything I was looking forward to.  I entered to dinning room to see Hans and Anna sitting at the same end of the long table. 

The table had enough room for 30 people yet they sat next to each other chatting up a storm. When I walked into the room they looked up. 

Hans stood up when I approached the table.  Anna remained seated. I glared at him I didn't know what he was playing at standing up like that.

Everyone knows if a man stands up when you walk to a table that he likes you.  So where was he playing at when he stood up and blushed at the looks from me and Anna.

I smiled warmly at my sister and gave her a small curtsy. She inclined her head as recognition of my greeting. 

"sister" I said softly.  She smiled and shot Hans a glance before answering. 

"queen. " she said. Hans looked bewildered at how formal our greeting was.  It was as if we were not related.

I took a seat at the head of the table furthest from Hans and my sister.

I looked around the table and noticed that no one was eating nor was there any food on the table. 

"where's the food? " I asked Anna. To this she giggled and grabbed her fork excitedly.

"well Hans the best idea! " she started.  I mentally groaned.  "he thought you should eat dinner with us!  Said something about it will be a normal thing." she said happily. 

"so I told the chef's to wait to bring out the food until. You were seated. " she told me.  I glanced at Hans who had an innocent smile.  Anna caught the discomfort in my eyes and turned to hans.  Clearly she expected a different response.

Hans smile dropped and his brow creased with worry.  He spoke in a soft,  kind,  almost Caring tone. 

God he was such a good actor.  If I didn't know better. If think the guy was legitimately worried that he had displeased me. It seems Anna was. 

"princess, I hope it is no Trouble for you to Dine with me." he spoke.

"no of course not. " I lied.   huge platters of meats and cheeses was set next to our plates.  I eyed the food as my stomach growled. 

I hesitated. "where is this food from? " I asked the chef.  I grabbed the Sleeve of his shirt to stop his from walking away from Me.

He smiled the first real Smile anyone has given me in a long time.

"why the southern isles of course.  I thought it would be perfect to honor our new guest. " the man said.  I numbly let go of his shirt and looked at the platters. 

They looked truly delightful. The cheeses looked creamy and smelled wonderful.  The meats were laying on a divided platter. The platter was decided in eight sections. On top of each meat was a yummy looking cream sauce.

There was a tray of bread with different dipping oil. Each set in a separate bowl. 

Anna was already helping herself to the food as hans and I sat at the table. 

"it's sooo gawd" Anna said with a mouth full of food.  I scrunched my nose in disgust.  She was eating like a man. 

"I'm sure it is but can you eat like a lady for once? " I asked her in a stern tone.  To this she blushed but continued to scarf down her food.

I sighed and grabbed a piece of bread and the olive garlic tipping oil.  I dipped the bread in the oil and took a small bite.  The food was delicious.

I tried to not notice how Hans watched me eat.

"how is the food your majesty?" he asked me.  I took another bite and chewed slowly savoring the way the flavors combined on my tongue. 

"actually, it's really good." I told him. Hans got up and grabbed his plate moving to the seat closest to mine. 

I raised an eyebrow at him.  "yes?" I asked him.  He blushed and sat down in the seat.  He took a few of the meats and cheeses from his plate and put them on mine. 

"I want you to try everything. " he told me. I rolled my eyes and looked sideways at Anna.

She was staring down at her plate with a almost upset expression.  She pushed her food around with her fork. 

Was she jealous? Hans cleared his throat noticing my sister.  But when I looked at him I could see the glimmer in his eyes. 

I took my fork and stabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it in my mouth. 

I chewed it slowly.  The texture was smooth and with each bite my taste buds tingled with the flavor of garlic and cinnamon.

"cinnamon? " I asked as I swallowed the food.  Prince Hans smiled at me and took a bite of the food that was left on his plate.

"yes,  in my kingdom we put it on everything. Yummy isn't it? " he asked me. 

I nodded and finished what he had set on my plate.  I pulled out. My phone and glanced at it from under the table.  I had Multiple missed calls from Jack and Clair.

I actually missed Clair a lot.  She listened to me talk but never seemed to expect much from Me. All that time I spent at the highschool I actually made some friends. 

I typed her a quick text but put my phone away when I saw that the buttons has started to freeze and we're harder to push. 

Daniel entered the room gracefully. I stood up and waited for him to speak.

"A guest for you elsa. By the main stairs well I would of sent him to. Your office but we're still fixing it. " he told me.  I nodded my last episode I had made it snow I'm my whole office and got locked in. 

I knew they would spend days unfreezing it and I couldn't help but feel bad. 

I excused myself from dinner.  Maybe it would be best to talk to her about the engagement.  Maybe the sooner I tell about the engagement the better off we both will be.

I walked into the entry room and saw who I've missed the most standing by the door. 

"Jack? "
