Chapter 117: A Soulmate Always Senses (EP. 03)

Numerous crowds of women and children gathered there, parting their large group to make way for their beloved queen. Some surveyed her in surprise, since she was still clad in her night gown. But Elsa couldn't care less. Her heart feels like it could be ripped out of her chest any moment now.

She threw her arms up in the air and moved it slowly down; the frozen walls beginning to melt by her will. Sunlight peeked through each thawed wall of ice, before the barrier entirely faded away into small specks of snow.

Children laughed as tiny snowflakes landed on their nose. Some parted from their parent and ran around to catch some more, much to Elsa's amusement.

"Elsa! Don't you run off like that!" Anna panted heavily, hands on her skirt covered knees in exhaustion. It wasn't too long before Iduna came bumping against her daughters, out of her usual demure state just like the ginger.

"Girls?" She puffed out.

"Elsa started it." Anna shrugged, having recovered from the wild chase.  Iduna shook her head and finally found her breath, looking at her eldest in worry, noticing her daughter's forlorn figure.

She wrapped an arm around her, feeling the ice queen tense up a little. Iduna flashed her a motherly smile and cajoled, "Don't worry so much, sweetheart. Take a deep breath," She smiled in approval after seeing her daughter follow, "And think that things are going to be okay. Don't be so tense."

Elsa nodded with doubt still written across her face. Anna hesitantly forced down a small, assuring smile before focusing her turquoise eyes at the docking ships.

"Land ho!"

The Yule bell rang loudly as Arendellian guards lined up in accordance before the docks, stiffly holding up their gloved hands into a salute. The entrance of the ship opened to reveal the Lieutenant, the Admiral and the General first.

Matthias spoke first with a small smile filled with pride, "Citizens of Arendelle, we have successfully arrived with great news. And a great deal of victory. We would like to announce that Arendelle has won against Weaseltown—"

Audible laughter and chuckles could be heard among the crowds, Anna sniggering and holding her abdomen in glee.

"— And not one life of our country men was slain by unworthy hands. King Frederic, Prince Eugene, King Nathan, kindly step out of the ship and present yourselves."

The three men stepped right beside the Lieutenant shyly, "These three are also one of the reasons why Arendelle won. They had helped and assisted our kingdom without reluctance and for that, you three are considered as Arendelle's dearest friends."

The three bowed their head as the Admiral slipped a silver medal around their neck, the crocus crest of the kingdom enrgaved in the pendant.

"One last announcement before we witness countless reunions. We would like to thank her majesty, Queen Elsa of Arendelle for shielding the kingdom in our absence. My queen, his majesty awaits at the South Harbor for you, and you alone."

...

"Elsa— oof!"

The Queen of Arendelle arrived at the South Harbor before she crashed against her defenseless husband in fury, the fire wielder collapsing on the docks as the weight of his wife straddled over him. Her cold fists lightly punched his firm, sculpted chest in shaky motions.

"You idiot! You made me worried sick!" She growled.

Aiden stifled his laughter after noticing his wife's furrowed brows, his hands running up to her hips to make her stop, "Darling, I'm– ouch, alive!" He wheezed out.

"You wouldn't be if you drowned completely!" Elsa grumbled, tears still streaming down her cheeks. Aiden finally managed to sit up with his arms supporting his weight, Elsa still sitting on his lap with a bowed head.

His eyes scanned her entire form, from the smooth, fine skin of her neck to her hidden face.

She rested her head against him in defeat, her body shivering between sobs. Aiden wrapped his arm around her to push her closer, a chuckle escaping his lips after hearing a muffled I missed you.

"How.. How did you know?" He merely whispered, tucking her braid behind her head. Elsa sniffled and responded with a huff, "Your soul and mine are linked. I guess that answers your question?"

She's so cute when she's mad.

Aiden cupped her face in his hands planted a kiss on her cheek, "I'm sorry, snowflake. But I do know I really missed you and I am in desperate need of my precious wife's attention."

The Queen of Arendelle couldn't help but shake her head in disbelief before pulling her husband's collar and pressing her lips on his; his eyes widening at the sudden contact.

Aiden smiled after he breathlessly pulled away, resting his forehead on hers.

"I didn't get any sleep because of worrying over you." She pouted with a small smile.

"Don't think you'll be getting any either tonight," He seductively breathed to her ear, a smirk forming in his face after feeling his wife heat up by his words, "... Or later."

He picked her up with great strength before breaking into a full run, the ice queen barely thrashing in resistance in his arms as they made their way back to the castle. Elsa blushed darkly as citizens looked at their direction in awe, some wondering why was the King of Arendelle holding his wife so tightly.

...

The clueless snowman sighed in defeat as he approached the bubbly ginger with droopy stick arms. The castle staff are currently very busy in decorating the ballroom for a grand, celebratory banquet to be held at midnight. Agnarr and Frederic chattered and exchanged stories while Kristoff and Flynn indulged themselves about misadventures with either Maximus or Sven.

"Hey Anna, why is the bedroom door of Elsa and Aiden locked? They've never locked it before." Olaf tugged at his friend's skirt lightly for her attention. Kristoff almost spat his water after hearing his words, Flynn holding back his laughter right next to the blonde.

Nathan held onto a chair for support while Agnarr refrained himself from face palming with his brunette wife. Helena calmly rocked her napping grandchildren back and forth as she walked around the Great Hall.

"Um... They're sleeping?"

"I could hear the bed creaking. Are you sure they're sleeping?" Olaf worriedly questioned.

Anna's eyes widened before smiling sheepishly, "Heh... Olaf, I heard that Sven wants company at his stable later since Kristoff and I will be attending the banquet... Maybe go there early?"

"That's a great idea, Anna! See you later."

Everyone sighed in relief as the snowman skipped happily away.
