The Romance Growing, Like A Flower In The Summer

The Sisters' Palace

Back at Arendelle Queen Elsa and Princess Anna were both reunited and having breakfast with Kristoff. Elsa asked Kristoff several questions, because honestly she didn't trust her sister's choices that well.

Elsa thought to herself** Anna was deeply fond of Kristoff and it seemed as Kristoff felt the same for Anna, after all I suppose he does love her, he brought her here...all the way back from the north mountain... Well... Hmm. I'm not even sure about my own choices. Oh, dear.

When Anna and Kristoff left the room merrily, she just smiled, feeling like a hypocrite for not saying what she truly thought. She went her room and just began to ponder about life, and then she began to think about the prince who tried to kill her, "Oh, how I hate terrible flashbacks." She shook her head and shivered at the thought.

Then there was a soft knock on her door.

"Queen Elsa, your highness..?" The voice low but steady.

Elsa responded "Yes. Come in."

Theobas the royal butler and loyal friend of the queen walked in and continued his sentence, "A ship has just arrived at shore, we don't know from where they have come, and they have refused to speak, I supposed that they may be fugitives from England or the Southern Isles."

Elsa stood up and said "Theobas take me to the pier, I must see these men."

Theobas bowed and opened the door for her.

Once they arrived at the pier she noticed a man who seemed very familiar, yet quite foreign. He seemed to sort of remind her of Prince Hans, but it couldn't be this man was thinner, far more hair upon his head and he had a beard, she just shook her head fearing she was just hallucinating.

She approached the captain of the ship, the short man bowed and kissed her hand "Your highness."

She glared at Theobas, and he slowly looked away.

Elsa asked the captain a series of questions a few slightly concealing just to find out where they'd come from, he answered them all without a fret.

Once all was cleared she welcomed the captain and the few men he'd brought, to Arendelle.

She said if any men needed work to meet her at the castle's royal reception.

She left light frost as she walked at a speedy pace back to the castle. Theobas asked if something was wrong, she responded shakily "The man... The man with the beard... H-he looks like someone I knew..." She trailed off.
