A/N: If you don't know what Hellwrath or Grimfrost looks like, go back to Chapter 65 and see the spears' appearance for yourself.

"Nice form, your Majesty. Only a few duels more and you'll be in great shape for professional combat." Matthias smiled proudly at the ice queen who donned a skin fitted dark green uniform with gold accents, sweating profusely but beamed otherwise at her trainer, "Thank you. This is far more better than I expected, I can understand why my husband likes this sport."

"Enjoyable, indeed. And it also comes with benefits," Matthias pointed out politely, "Many benefits."

"I liked the dodging part," Elsa smiled, "It tested my reaction time. I didn't know I can block things all at once."

"Ah, yes. Besides swordplay, the spear is more useful and can be used in a variety of situations, both unpleasant or pleasant. Its attack and impact on your opponent is more critical than you would think. And might I add, your spear—Grimfrost, is it?"

"Yes, Grimfrost."

"I have never seen a blade quite unique like it."

"Again, thank you. It caught my eye the first time I saw it, and I'm glad it became of good use. I can also combine my power with it, something I learned out of curiosity." Elsa grinned, holding her spear and beginning to polish it, "It's a beauty."

"May I join?"

She whirled her head around and found her husband's emerald green eyes gazing at her blue ones in surprise, "If my wife does not mind?" He chuckled.

She eyed Hellwrath in his grasp and laughed, kissing his cheek, "I don't. I want to spar or duel with you, actually."

"This sounds like a challenge." Aiden smirked playfully.

"It is," She mischievously spun her spear in a very defensive stance, spinning it faster and faster every passing second. The blade began to release icy fractals floating along with it like the Nokk's water, the small pieces of ice beginning to form a snow flake.

Aiden froze in awe, then gasped once he saw his wife's eyes glowing in a very bright, blinding sky blue hue.

Elsa threw Grimfrost in the air, jumping in a very inhumane height and grasped it once more, her hands wrapping around it in a very menacing way. The blade, embellished with her power, ended up slicing a nearby, humongous boulder.

The queen panted in exhaustion once she landed back on the ground, smiling tiredly at her awestruck trainer and her jaw slacked husband, "I'm sure you can handle me."

Aiden, recovering from shock, stammerer at her in admiration, "Y-you're more... Athletic, than I thought, love. Now I know not to mess with you. And you learned all of this, in one day?"

Elsa tapped her chin and nodded, "Yeah."

"Wow. That'll take me a year or so to master. I haven't been really using my powers for awhile now."

"I can teach you a thing or two sometime," Elsa moved closer to him, lifting his chin flirtatiously, "If my student doesn't mind."

Aiden stared at her dreamily, "He doesn't."

"Good." Elsa kissed his lips quickly before snatching his spear from his tight grip, his eyes widening due to surprise of the sudden firm action. "What—How?"

"Lesson number one, awareness." Elsa giggled, stealing a kiss again from him and swinging her two spears.

Aiden gulped. He's a skilled opponent when it comes to swordplay, but never had he encountered someone so quick and cunning that'll make him lose his guard.
