Frozen: A Desire for More

Chapter 16

After talking to Anna about the secrets of controlling and manipulating a male with her body until the sun rose, both sisters fell asleep on Elsa’s bed. In the morning, Kai the butler found Elsa cuddled together while Anna had one leg planted on Elsa’s hips. Smiling and shaking his head, he gently moved Anna’s leg the side and got an extra blanket to cover her up. 

For a moment he simply stood there, taking in the view.  Ever since the previous King of Arendelle had come to power, he had served in this castle and had watched both of these girls grow up. Before Elsa learned to fear her powers, these two sisters would sleep on the same bed all the time. And now, after so many years, even after they had grown into independent women, they had returned to this habit.

Originally he had wanted to give Elsa a new report on Rainer. The kitchen staff had gossiped with the servants Rainer had brought with him, and relayed the information to him. Rumor had it that Rainer was seen together with Elsa in the royal garden and when Elsa left the garden, there was grass stuck to her back and her hair was in a disheveled state. Kai had wanted to ask her majesty if there was any truth to these rumors, and if they were true, that she should be more careful around Rainer. She may be a Queen of Arendelle, but she is still a young woman, and Rainer an infamous master of seduction. 

Ever since the King died, he had felt an almost fatherly responsibility to look after these  two girls. 

There was a quiet knock on the door. Kai rushed out of the room to prevent that person from disturbing the queen’s and her sister’s sleep. 

It was the head maid Gerda. 

“What is it? Her majesty and her highness are both sleeping,” Kai said. 

“The Ice Master and Deliverer is calling on Anna,” Gerda said, not caring for the royal titles that Kai still used. To her Anna was almost like a daughter, an eccentric who she still needed to look after. 

“Tell him that the princess is still fast asleep,” Kai instructed. 

Before Gerda could turn and deliver the message to Kristoff, Kai heard a yawn come from the bedroom. He took a quick peek in and saw the fireball of Anna’s strawberry blonde hair rise into the air. 

“The princess is awake,” he told Gerda. 

Understanding what he meant, Gerda walked into the room. 

“Your highness, the Ice Master and Deliverer is here,” she told a yawning Anna. 

“Sorry…what?” She smacked her lips. 

“Kristoff is here.” 

“Oh!”

Anna jumped out the bed, completely forgetting that Elsa was lying in it. She threw off her pajamas, slipped on a light green cotton dress and rushed downstairs. Gerda was left in Elsa’s room in a daze, amazed by how fast Anna could go from bed hair to a presentable young lady in three seconds flat. 

Anna rushed down the stairs and was ready to jump into Kristoff’s arms when she stooped dead in her tracks. In front of her, Kristoff was chatting with one of the maids. It wasn’t someone Anna recognized, so she must be one of Rainer’s servants. Narrowing her eyes, she observed how Kristoff talked with the young woman, smiling pleasantly. 

“Kristoff!” she stomped towards him. 

“Anna!” he smiled broadly and took her into his arms before she could say anything. 

The maid he was talking to quickly excused herself and vanished into the corridors. 

“How do you feel?” Kristoff kissed her on the lips.
