Desired Destiny (Frozen II/Jelsa)

19| Harvest Festival

The villagers are ecstatic. The citizens of Arendelle are beyond happy to have their queen and future king consort helping them preparing the goods for the Harvest Festival by knocking on their doors and assisting them in kitchens. Jack keeps a note that Elsa is actually not really mastering the cooking field. She knows tons of things about it because she reads a lot, but she struggles with the execution. Just like what Leif told him back then, Elsa only knows how to crack the eggs and spin the batters. Luckily, Jack spent many days helping his mother in the kitchen and continuously taught Emma a thing or two, so he takes over the cooking part. As for Elsa, Jack tells the villagers that the kids need her more for her beautiful magic. Realizing that Jack only made the excuse to help her escape the cooking torture, Elsa gives him a quick hug from his back and storms to the children. Jack remains a tomato and Elsa adds a 'cooking practice with Egil' in her itinerary.

After they are done socializing with the villagers, the couple comes across Sandy and Emma who are hanging around the farmhouses, watching a herd of cattle minding their own businesses. Jack shakes his head bemusedly watching his sister trying to milk one of the small cattle all the while struggling real hard not to foul her dress. Diversely, Elsa smiles as she notices Sandy introducing sign language to one of the best cattle callers in the kingdom, SoYun Lim. The jet-black haired young woman came from Chatho a few years ago and decided to live her life in Arendelle. She admires Arendelle's environment which is friendly to the animals and claims to see the princess as a wonderful company.

Then again, who on Earth wouldn't love the social butterfly Anna?

Elsa introduces SoYun to Jack and asks the woman to try out her calling cattle performance. Jack and his siblings cannot stop admiring SoYun's ability to nail all of those high notes. They are also impressed to see how the cows seem to listen to her siren voice. Leaving Sandy and Emma to visit the sheep, the couple then walks down the hills and marches closer to the crowded part of the kingdom.

Elsa spots her sister who's helping Magnus, a helpful craftsman, to place his neat display cases on the tables set all the way of Klokkegate street. The villagers will submit their homemade dishes from the harvested ingredients and the judges—which are the queen herself, one food critic, and one skilled farmer—will decide for this year's Harvest Festival winner. Jack also catches Kristoff and Olaf who are helping the villagers bringing their goods with a large wagon dragged by Sven. North, Thiana, and Aster are seen talking to the kingdom's erratic reporter, Wael. He seems to be promoting his newspapers, the Village Crown. Elsa actually has some issues with him. He criticizes almost every single one of Elsa's decrees and constantly makes her feel bad about it —which Anna loathes him for, but Elsa knows better he did what he did to help her evolve as the queen.

It's true what they say 'how time flies fast when you are having fun.' The Harvest Festival is only minutes away and everyone gathers from the Klokkegate to Kongelipglas street. "Elsa!" Anna does the usual by hugging Elsa from the back. Elsa giggles and turns to see her baby sister with a big smile on her face. "Everything is set! You need to start now! Like—now! Right now!"

Elsa quickly nods before Anna bursts from inside to outside. She looks over to Jack who stands by her side the entire time. "Are you ready?" She slips her fingers between Jack's pale ones.

"As long as I'm with you, always." Elsa slightly blushes and drags Jack to the center of attention, her family following from behind.

"Hello, everyone! I'd like to keep my speech short because I know we all cannot wait any longer for this year's Harvest Festival." Muffled sounds of agreement erupt from the audience and Elsa hurries with the list of things she wanted to say. "Harvest Festival is our way of thanking nature for all the goods blessed upon us. I, personally, think this commemoration is also a chance for us to be thankful for everything we have grown to have." She turns to her right and looks at her sister. "I want to thank the royal princess of Arendelle...my best friend, my dearest sister, my most trusted person who treasures this home of ours with all of her heart for fully organizing this event." She caresses Anna's cheek. "Everything surrounds us now—the idea of the Harvest Festival itself—comes from this incredible human being. Thank you, Anna, for the love you've poured into our kingdom and our hearts." The princess of Arendelle sniffs and circle her arms around Elsa's figure, squeezing her as if she's bombarding Elsa with tons of 'thank you.'
