Chapter 15

Hi, just a short chapter this time. Sorry. I've decided to dedicate this to amypond102 since she always comments on this story and asks for updates :) Pic of Lord Enver, Lady Reva and Queen Elsa on the right

Chapter 15

The following morning Elsa woke up with a smile on her face. Until she remembered the events of the previous day which made her face fall. Her mood plummeted even further when she recalled that she was too give a speech to the citizens of Erendelle that morning to tell them about the tragic passing of her father.

With a heavy heart she slid out of bed and changed her clothes before sitting down at her dressing table to style her hair into a French twist and placing her tiara on the top of her head. The girl staring back at her in the mirror looked awful, her once bright eyes were dull and filled with sadness, her once flawless skin was blotchy from all the crying she had done and for the first time in her life she had bags under her eyes. Elsa tried to even out her skin tone using make-up but no matter how hard she tried she didn’t look any better so eventually she admitted defeat and made her way out of her bedroom. With every step she took she grew more and more nervous.

Elsa could hear the voices of the citizens outside the castle asking each other why they had been summoned. She took a deep breath then nodded to the guards to open the doors for her, a man just outside the doors announced ‘citizens of Erendelle…presenting Queen Elsa of Erendelle’ the citizens broke out into a roar of applause and cheers as the doors were open and Elsa stepped out onto the balcony overlooking the citizens. ‘Citizens of Erendelle, it is with a heavy heart that I must inform you all that my father, Lord Enver passed away last night’ Elsa tried to sound confident and hold back the tears that were threatening to escape. But as she said those last words she could feel as the scolding tears slipped down her cheeks. There were multiple responses from the citizens, some merely looked saddened, some broke down in tears and others looked too shocked to do anything.

‘Passed away? More like he was murdered’ a young girl shouted from the midst of the ground.
