On The Same Level - Male!Elsa X Reader (Part Two)

You awoke with a start, the thundering sound of hooves against brick and the fierce gasps of a beast filling your mind. You wet your lips and blinked into the pile of fur that you lay upon. Feebly, you began to lift your face from the fur, your exhausted eyes scanning the spacious streets around you. The town was fairly clean, and its citizen smiled as you passed. You gradually sat up, your hands disappearing into the fluffy neck of the beast as they held your upper body weight. You blinked once more, trying to recall where you were and why you were here. It was then when all the horrible memories from the night before flooded into your mind at once. It was too much for you. Your palms crashed into your temples as you screamed out loud.

The reindeer’s hooves screeched to a halt and Kristina gripped your shoulders, tilting your upper body so she could view your twisted face. Thick ash still stained your cheeks and lips and your hair was an utter mess. You must look like death.

“We’re almost there, just hold up for a minute,” Kristina spoke, sitting you up as the reindeer began to take off.

“Where?” you muttered, your voice thick with confusion.

“My... well, my house,” she answered. A tired sigh escaped your lips as you rubbed your eyes through your gloves, not bothering to protest. In fact, you were extremely hungry and tired, and some delicious food and a soft bed sounded like the most amazing thing right now. It must have been quite early in the morning as the sun was just beginning to slowly rise from behind the distant hills, replacing its darker sister that you had looked up at for so many nights. Its heat radiated down on the kingdom, warming your back and cheeks. You lifted your cheeks to the comforting light, smiling gently as the warmth distracted you from your current state.

You looked around at the people you passed as they hurried from street to street, going on with their daily business. You watched shop owners opening their stalls for the day, their eyes warm and content with a good night’s sleep. You couldn’t help but smile at the vivacious children that littered the busy streets. They called to one another as they laughed and ran around, nothing but bliss in their young, innocent minds.

“Almost there,” Kristina repeated her earlier words. She sounded just as tired as you did. Well, a night of travelling and collecting ice must have been a tiring job, and you did feel a small spark of guilt in your gut. She was ignoring her melting ice so she could get to safety. You were rather flattered. You looked up as the reindeer, Sue, came to the edge of a bridge. Kristina nodded at the stern looking guards before beginning to ride again, a gentle smile upon her lips as she looked up at her home.

Home? You wouldn’t quite call it a home. It was more like, how you say, a giant castle, littered with guards and workers. You sat up straight and looked on with awe at the marvellous structure, your mouth slowly falling agape.

“This is your home?” you called back to her. “Are you royalty?”

 You felt her booming laughter vibrate through your body. You scrunched your nose at her response.

“Yes, this is my home. Am I royalty? Far from it! I’m married into the line,” she beamed from behind you. You frowned.

“Are you married to the King?” you questioned as Sue came to a graceful stop before the giant castle entrance. With a few nods exchanged between Kristina and the guards, the colossal doors began to gradually creak open, its hinges screaming in protest. You sat up and peered over Sue’s horns to get a better view of what those huge walls concealed behind them.

“King Elias? No, I’m married to Prince Andrew,” she chimed as you entered through the now open doors. Citizens began to pour into the royal courtyard around you, seeming to laugh and cheer in utter excitement. You span around and glared at Kristina in disbelief. There is no way that she was The Duchess of Arendelle! She was an ice trader!
