Act 3 - Sensitivity
(Y/N)'s POV
Entering my designated room, I instantly plop down on the bed without caring that I still have my coat on. God, I just want to sleep...
Sorry for exerting mostly your mana on the fight. I thought you would have just summons me in an instant by your side to block the attack. Instead of summoning another familiar. Venrich said via our familiar link since he's on the other room next to mine.
It's alright, besides there were some specs of magical imbalances in the entire castle that needed some wind sweeping to be rebalance. It's was giving me a headache the moment we setfoot in this castle. I said lazily removing my coat and boots then rolling to my side to hug the pillow next to me.
Still don't over use your magic. Your to good for your own sake. You know you can always count on me. Your familiar big brother. Hehe... Venrich said
I thank you for that. We may not be blood related but you do act like an irritating and caring brother. Now Hush, I need my rest before our dinner with the Royal family. I said feeling my eyes grow heavy.
Haha... you and your complementing insults but it's cute when you show you care. I'll wake you up 30 minutes before dinner with prepared clothes. Venrich said
Hmm, Please do and ven no wondering around... I said closing my eyes and give in from my tiredness.
--------------*--------------
I felt my consciousness drifting into a dream like state. Checking my body to be sure that alive and intact but looking at my hands up to my lower body they appeared to be transparent as if i became a ghost. Looking around my surrounding to figure out where i am concluding that im somewhere in the castle hallway and it was nighttime. I heard a noise across the hallway. Then out of curiosity, i looked for it's source leading me to a ballroom. Looking at the scene before me, I see two young girls just entering the room. One platinum blond girl and the other a one strawberry blond girl.
Come on Elsa! Do the magic! Do the magic! The younger one said
Ready? Young Elsa said forming a snowball with her magic. Then seeing her sister nod, she released it upwards and exploding to create a small snowfall into the room.
This is amazing! Her sister said running around from excitement only to stop when Elsa stomp her foot to freeze the floor and continue there play.
I must be in the past. Feeling some events transpired here in the castle. I must have subconsciously used my Mind Memory Link skill again.
My thoughts were disturbed when I heard Elsa's voice in a worry manor.
Wait!... Slow down!... Elsa said trying to keep up in catching Anna. But at the last second, she slip and accidentally hit Anna in the head with her powers. Causing Anna fall out of consciousness. Then a panicked Elsa cradle her sister. Seeing elsa so scared concluding that this must be start of fearing her powers. At that moment, two figures entered the room. Looking at there appearance, they must be there parents and the former King and Queen.
As the scene unfold, I felt my senses fading to black and the next thing I known I'm back in my room. Awakening from my nap and hearing a knock on my door. Knowing who is on the other side of that door I answered.
You can come in venrich...
Did you enjoy your nap? Venrich said entering my room with some clothing in hand.
Barely... Mind Memory Link again. Must be the new place. I said sitting up and stretching my limbs.
I see... Well better get ready then. Cause we're going to dine with her Majesty, her Highness and their company. Venrich said while putting my outfit on the chair in my room. Composing of a burgundy jacket, a white undershirt blouse with a bolo Jade green necktie, black waist high skirt reaching blow my knees and mid-length laced boots.
Thank you. Is that you'll be wearing? I said pointing at his clothes. A black jacket with gray vest over his white undershirt long sleeves, simple necktie, black pants and shoes.
Yes. I just went with simplicity and it's just dinner. Anyway get dress and I'll be waiting outside. Venrich said fixing his jacket before leaving and giving me time to change.

Anna's POV
We just got back from checking up at the ice palace, visiting gran pabbie and trolls. Sven was put in the stable while Kristoff and olaf when ahead and waiting at the dinning room. So I just have pick-up my sister from her room and so we can have dinner. I knock on her door then waited for her to answer. Hearing hear approval, I entered and saw her reading her book.
Hey sis! I said hugging her.
How's your day? Elsa said hugging me back.
We visited the ice castle to check up on marshmallow and the snowgies just like you asked. They are all fine and happy but it would have been more fun if you we're there. I said moving out of our hug.
Well if I leaved, my queenly duties would have pilled up and reach the celling by now. By the way, i invited some guests to dinner. They're the ones sent by the church to help in our alliances. The scholar mage...Elsa said as we leave her room so we could head towards the dinning room were everyone is waiting.
About that, we had time to visit Gran pabbie and the trolls after the trip to the ice palace. They were happy to see us and Gran pabbie said if he would like talk to the scholar mage someday. He told me that they have magical power. So Elsa, do they really have magic just like you? I asked quite curious on our new guests. The scholar mages.
Yes they have and quite powerful if I may add. After my interview with them, they asked if they could test my magic thru a magic battle. It was quite intense and luckily no one was hurt. Elsa said as we enter the dinning room, I saw everyone sitted and talking to the guests.
Hello you two must be our guests. I'm princess Anna of arendelle but you can call me Anna. I said extending my hand for a handshake but the only the guy accepted. The girl looked at me and just gave me a small smile.
Hello again your Majesty and nice to meet you your Highness. My name is Venrich Grim assistant to Miss (Y/N) Ainsel the scholar mage. Venrich said then gesturing toward miss ainsel beside him.
Thank you for inviting us for dinner this evening. (Y/N) said.
Since we're all here, Let's have dinner.
--------------*--------------
Dinner was delicious and quite lively than usual. Maybe because of venrich's happy personality and his way of keeping a conversation going. I've notice my sister sometimes steal glaces on miss ainsel. Maybe she's happy to have someone the same as her or maybe a crush? I just have to find a way to confirm it first. Right now, we are enjoying tea in the drawing room.
I hate to asked but why don't you like being touch miss ainsel. I've notice that you always avoid being touch even avoid my warm hugs. Olaf said a bit sad.
Olaf... Kristoff said whispering and about to reprimand Olaf on about it but (Y/N) stopped by saying:
It's quite alright. It's just I'm quite sensitive to touch. Enough to see, feel or read someones mind and memories. I avoid contact much a possible to respect ones privacy. I apologize if I portrai it to being rude. (Y/N) said
No! It's fine but can you really read minds? I asked curious about her powers.
Yes, if you like a demonstration your Highness. And for discretion, I will only select something simple. (Y/N) said holding out her hand for me to hold it. As I hold her hand, she suddenly stopped and looked spellbound. Her eyes glow a little lighter. Then moments later she let go of my hand and she's back to her normal stoic expression.
Alright princess, I'm going to recall the answers you said during the time you described Prince Hans to kristoff in correct order and the way you remember.
Lastname: of the southern isles;
Favorite food: Sandwiches;
Best Friend's name: probably John;
Eye color: Dreamy;
What's his foot size: Foot size doesn't matter;
and lastly on kristoff's comment about the way hans's picks his nose and eats it: Excuse me sir, he is a prince.
To which kristoff retorted that all men do it ending you disgusted. Is it all correct? (Y/N) said leaving me and kristoff flabbergasted, Elsa and Olaf amazed but holding their laughter while venrich rolling on the floor laughing. (Y/N) just sighed then standing up and ready to leave.
We are you going? Elsa said
I stand corrected... Well its been fun and all, but i must retire early today so I can start on the paperwork tomorrow. Thank you again your Majesty and good evening. (Y/N) said then leaving the room.
Did we do something to offend her? I asked a bit worried.
Venrich should we be worried about her mind reading abilities? Why do you seem relax about it... Kristoff said
No... It's just her way of showing that she is very embarrassed. Her mind reading effects only lessen when she build a sort of trust to the other. You can say, it's her body's magical defense system specially being put to a new environment. Since i've been her assistant for a "while" now, that's why I'm already immune to it. Might as well check up on her. Good night everyone. Venrich said recovering from his laughing fit then leave to catch up with (Y/N).
That was something. Well Elsa, we know that there's more people just like you and you are not alone. I said assuring her.
Yes Anna, I hope they can help us and this kingdom. Elsa said

Elsa's POV
The following day, after my usual meeting with the council. It's time to do the paperwork. (Sigh) a queen's duty is never done. While reading the first file, a knock sounded across the room and it's coming from the door. I answered then (Y/N) entered with a few parchments at hand.
Good afternoon your Majesty. I was wondering if I would like to have a word with you right now if you have the time. (Y/N) said slightly bowing. Seeing her every now and then is quite pleasing. It's like her quietness and presence is relaxing to be with. My thoughts were refocused when (Y/N) notice my unfocused state and made a sound by clearing her throat.
Oh-of course (Y/N), what would you like to discuss about. I said
It is about my terminal report on your request for our assistants. I concluded that the best option is on this report and needed to be informed my superior on this. I would like you to review it in hope of your approval. (Y/N) said as she hand me the parchments and read them over.
Moments later...
So the conclusion to all of this is that our Kingdom will enter the Union to solve our alliance problem. I said
Yes but there are somethings to be settled before a country would be consider in entering the Union. It may also differ depending on the country's situation. So will you agree considering on what ever the task they will give you. (Y/N) said
It's for the kingdom's sake. I will do it but as long as that there will be no one will be harmed or forced into. I said ready to sign the papers.
You may also write your conditions below. (Y/N) said
I wrote my conditions, signing it and handed them all to (Y/N). She reread it and nod in confirmation.
Before I send this your majesty, I would like to add a sample of your magic by making a small ice marble for magical examination purposes. (Y/N) said and I comply to her request. Then putting the ice marble on my desk for her to get. Remembering her magical sensitivity.
By tomorrow evening, we might know the results. (Y/N) said getting the marble.
Romarion is quite far, delivering items here and vice-versa takes weeks. How will we know the results that fast. I said skeptic on sending the letter.
With this... (Y/N) said then suddenly the parchments in her hands moved then begin to transform into a paper bird. She gave the ice marble to the bird then it flew out to the window.
That's one way on how we send letters. Thank you for your time your Majesty. (Y/N) said giving a bow then leaving the room. Leaving me amazed on the magic that just transpired.
She never sees to amaze me...
