A/N:

Holy shit, guys. Chapter One Hundred. That's ridiculous. O_O I'm sorry this story is sooooo loooonnnngggg. It's almost finished, I promise. But there might be a sequel or prequel (I've gotten asked to do both). I'd be happy to do either and could do both. They wouldn't be nearly as long as Heated Ice. I'd probably do a sequel.

Anyway, I'm just rambling -_- sorry.

Here's the hundredth chapter :)

Elsa had looked over the papers that Silas had forged and though his signature was almost similar to Hans' signature he could still tell it wasn't his own and so could Elsa.

The documents had stated that when Elsa or Hans would pass away and there was no heir from Elsa that Alan would immediately become king, not Anna and Kristoff. Alan would also have all rule over Arendelle, its people and even the royal property, meaning the whole castle. Along with Alan being in power he would be wed to Silas's daughter, Caroline, and Henry would become the King's hand, his servant and the authorized King while Alan wouldn't be present.

"What?" Elsa whispered after she read it all. "This... I don't even think we can do anything." Elsa said and flipped it over, finding the Arendelle seal, Hans must've broken it. "Is this the original?"

"Yes, I have all the original documents. I don't know how I missed this one. I was reviewing all of the documents I've signed to read them over, to refresh my memory, and I looked at that signature. It isn't mine at all, not even close."

"We need to get a few guards and have them sent to Silas's home. He's to be put in jail until he either confesses or I find a way to persuade Judge Vilano to agree with me."

"You're the queen? Can't you just have him, I don't know, beheaded?" He asked and watched as Elsa's eyebrows raised slightly.

"Beheading? I've never had a beheading done in Arendelle while I've ruled. My parents had them, that was almost always the way people died. I've had them either starve or hang, but I can't imagine what we would do for a beheading." She rambled and grabbed slightly at her neck, thinking of how badly that would truly hurt but that pain would only last seconds. Beheading was the easiest way for a person to die, with starving you were in horrible pain for days before passing, with a hanging you were still alive minutes after.

"Elsa, he can be killed for this. It's treason." He said. "I think I would know the most about treason, considering what happened years ago."

"What did you do then? To get out of being killed?" She asked but almost didn't want to know. As far as she knew, that part of his life was far behind them and it should stay there.

"I begged for my life and said that I would do anything and everything to not be killed. My brother was willing to let me repent and I thank him every day for it." He said and noticed how Elsa seemed very unsettled about the topic. "He can beg for his life but ultimately it's up to us."

"First, we need to find him and get him in a cell before he figures out that we know. Then we'll give him the chance to confess." She said and rolled up the document, holding it in her hands and left the room to find a few guards to send out.

Elsa and Hans stayed in the throne room, sitting in their thrones and silently talking about what Silas has done and what their options could be. Elsa was never into the thought of taking someone's life after the fear that she had taken Anna's life. Hans was thinking about justice and what he would deserve.

"Queen Elsa." The main guard of the search, Ezra, entered into the throne room. He was dressed in full armor and his sword was tucked nicely into his sheath. "King Hans." He said and bowed his head to both of them, kneeling down in front of them and Hans stiffened in his chair.

"Please stand, Sir Ezra." Elsa smiled and he looked to Hans, as if he needed his approval as well.

"Please stand." Hans said and Ezra stood, looking to both of them then looked back to Elsa.

"We have taken Lord Silas from his home and we have him outside of the room if you'd like me to bring him in." He said and they both nodded.

"Yes, please." Elsa said. "But could you stay near him so he doesn't try anything?"

"Of course." He said and bowed his head once again then turned on his heel, leaving the room.

"He's... Different." Hans mumbled.

"He's one of the best knights Arendelle has." Elsa said and held Hans' hand, needing him more than ever.

"He doesn't even have a scratch on his armor. How is he even a knight?"

"My father always told me that his enemies wouldn't even come close to touching him, he would cut down his enemies so that's why he seems untouched." Elsa said and Ezra came back in with two knights behind him, holding Silas. Ezra stepped aside, letting the knights bring Silas in front of Elsa and Hans. They let Silas go and went to take a step back when Ezra spoke up.

"Queen Elsa would prefer us to stay near Silas for protection." He said and one of the knights nodded. They both stood right behind Silas and looked up to Elsa and Hans.

"You really think that I would hurt you?" Silas asked Elsa.

"We're not here to discuss that." Hans said and took out the document. Silas's eyes widened only for a second then he went back to being calm. "Do you know why you're here?" Hans asked.

"I can safely assume that it's about that paper you're holding." He said sarcastically.

"I don't appreciate your attitude." Elsa snapped and grabbed the document out of Hans' hand, she stood quickly from her throne and stood in front of him. She placed the signed area in front of him and glared down at him. "Did you sign this?"

"No." He said simply then looked back at Hans. "She's a little spitfire."

"Get him out of here. I want him locked in a cell until he confesses." Elsa said to Ezra and he nodded, coming over to take Silas away.

"I told you my answer?" Silas panicked. Elsa stepped away from him and stood next to Hans, holding his hand for comfort.

"I am honestly seconds away from getting angry. Please have them put him a cell." Elsa whispered to Hans and he looked to Ezra.

"Please take him to a cell." Hans said to Ezra and they began taking him out of the room. Hans noticed that Elsa was lightly crying, trying to hold it in but Hans pulled her into his chest and held her against him. "Don't cry, please." Hans whispered.

"What if he's the one who helped your father poison me?" She asked him but he shook his head.

"I don't think Silas would do that. He knows what would happen if he would commit treason. He's too committed to his work."

"Then why would he forge your signature?"

"For power. Sure, that's treason too but he would never try killing either of us." He said then dried her tears and kissed her lightly on the forehead. "I'm going to get to work on finding evidence against him and for my father."

"I'd like to help you." She said and they left the throne room together, heading out to their library to get started on their journey of finding justice for themselves.
