Valorous day to mine own dearest audience. Alloweth me to cordially inviteth thee to yet anoth'r fic in this belov'd fandom. This story doth take lodging in summ'r in the city of Arendelle. It couldn't beest warmeth'r it couldn't beest sunni'r but is yond about to changeth?

Okay, if any of you'll managed to read that kudos to you. Now off to a more legit intro. This fic is basically about the glove scene where Elsa loses control and almost impales everyone. I kinda wanted to remake that scene becos I don't think Elsa only knows 'how to shut people out'. In fact, I'd like to imagine she knows as much about love as Olaf…

Italicised means the character's thought or an emphasised word.

I'd like to thank theblindwriter95, sassyfriend, CrazyHastings, erik448 and yubima-chan for favouriting, reviewing or following. It really means a lot to know you like the fic.

Disney owns Frozen.

Without further ado, enjoy…

It was the coronation ball. Anna had just finished dancing with the Duke of Weselton and was returning to Elsa's side.

"Well he was sprightly." Elsa quipped while trying to stifle her laughter.

"Especially for a man in heels." Anna joked while rubbing her sore feet.

"Are you okay?" Elsa asked with a twinkle in her eyes. The younger girl was overwhelmed and loved the attention her sister was giving her.

"I've never been better. This is so nice. I wish it could be like this all the time." Anna smiled wistfully.

"Me too..." Elsa spoke without thinking. But caught herself seeing the hopeful expression on Anna face. She couldn't bear to give Anna any false hope. The Queen stiffened up and looked away. Bringing the stoic mask back over her face, she knew she was breaking inside.

"But it can't." Then came the part she dreaded the most.

"But why not? I mean if we just..."

"It just can't." Elsa turned to the side and internally recoiled from her own words. Why couldn't Anna just enjoy the moment? This was the first time she had had a normal conversation with her sister in years and she whimpered inwards when she saw the sea of hurt she had inflicted upon her sister. Anna's smile had dropped as though she had been stung by her sister's words and Elsa could see that Anna was trying not to get emotional. Elsa took a deep breath. At that moment the older wanted nothing more than to hug her sister close to her and comfort her.

"Excuse me for a minute." Elsa sadly watched Anna leave even though she didn't want her to. The Queen made to go after her but stopped herself at the last moment. It's for her own good. She tried to convince herself. I'll just let her cool down for a while. She will come back eventually and then I will explain everything to her. No more secrets.

Meanwhile, Anna was lost deep in thought as she aimlessly walked away and tried to overcome her emotions. She had been delighted to think that her sister was finally opening up to her. But Elsa was still as cold as ever. She was still going to shut her out even after all they had been through. The younger had thought that the elder would change her mind, seeing that everything was going to change today after she had been crowned Queen. However, it now seemed that after the banquet, things were going to go back to how they usually were. With Elsa and her being just as estranged as ever. The princess told herself that she just needed some fresh air.

As she was moving, she had her eyes cast down and did not notice a man nearby, who was meaning to bow to a dignitary. The next moment, Anna found herself knocked off her feet and flailing for balance as she fell backwards. She thought that she would hit the floor, but the impact never came for Prince Hans managed to catch her at the last moment. He gave her a perfect smile.

"Glad I caught you."

"Hans."

The prince smoothly set his drink on a passing tray and whisked her into a waltz. The song was romantic, and Anna was soon entranced under his dreamy gaze. Time just appeared to dissolve around them as they got to know each other better. Anna thought that Hans was a true gentleman. He did not seem to mind her incessant rambling but instead listened on with interest. He did not take offense when she hit his face by mistake while articulating animatedly. He just laughed it off. He even liked the streak of white hair which she had not really paid much attention to. Indeed, Prince Hans just seemed like the perfect prince.

They were currently sitting on the ledge of the balcony facing the Kingdom and Anna was teaching Hans how to eat a krumkake.

"Yeah, the whole thing! You got it." The duo laughed as the krumkake crumbled in his face.

"Okay wait, wait. So, you have how many brothers?"

"Twelve older brothers. Three of the pretended I was invisible...literally...for two years."

"That's horrible."

"It's what brothers do."

Anna realised that Hans' life so far had been much like hers. He had been lonely and unappreciated throughout most of his life. He must have felt like the spare with twelve older brothers pushing him around.

"...And sisters." Anna added. "Elsa and I were really close when we were little. But then, one day…she just shut me out, and I never knew why." Before she could dwell on her memories, Hans took her hand.

"I would never shut you out." He affirmed and gave her a reassuring smile. Anna's heart fluttered. Could a prince get any more perfect?

"Okay, can I just say something crazy?"

"I love crazy." Hans replied enthusiastically. The princess burst into a song with Hans joining her. The next few moments were a blizzard of events which took them from balcony to balcony, across an empty hallway, onto the castle roof, on a bridge ledge, on the clock tower and amongst the stable doors. Finally, they climbed to the top of a waterfall overlooking the Kingdom. Anna raised up her hands to frame the moon and Hans put his hands on top of hers. Together, their hands formed a heart. Anna was elated. This day was already proving to be much better than she could have ever hoped for. There were only a few things that could possibly make it any better.

"Can I say something crazy...?" Hans got down on one knee. "Will you marry me?"

Anna gasped. It was like a dream come true. She had only read about this in fairy tales where the charming prince finds true love with the princess and they live happily ever after, but she had not expected it to happen to her so fast. This was her moment of happiness. Anna had finally found someone who could make her happy and, so she was not going to miss out on this opportunity.

"Can I just say something even crazier? Yes."

Meanwhile, in the Great Hall, Elsa was left standing at the podium and greeting every dignitary and guest that came up to meet her. She had put on a warm smile on her face even though internally, she was feeling worried for her sister. Anna had left her side a while ago and Elsa had not seen her ever since. Anna should have returned by now. The Queen wanted to make amends with her sister. Elsa could not go on without knowing her little sister was alright. She cared about her deeply and wished that things had gone different that night. I finally had the chance to bond with Anna tonight. But I blew it. If I had not been born with these cursed powers of mine, Anna and I would have been so much closer. Elsa sighed, she knew however that Anna's safety came first. She would go around the world and back again to ensure her sister was safe. Even from herself.

Elsa made her way forward at a regal pace towards Kai, their head steward, who was serving one of their guests. She wanted him to look for Anna and ensure that she was alright. However, just as she was nearing the butler, two dignitaries approached her. Elsa swallowed up her disappointment and turned to face them. They were the Spanish and French dignitaries. Arendelle had been on good terms with both those countries and their relations had helped them in their times of crisis. Arendelle now looked to her to keep good relations with all their partners and allies. It was no easy job, but Elsa had been prepared.

"Greeting Your Majesty, I am Pierre, the ambassador of France and this is Miguel the ambassador of Spain." Miguel continued, "Congratulations on your coronation as Queen, Your Majesty and our compliments to you on the grandeur of your banquet."

"Thank you for you complements and for visiting Monsieur Pierre and Señor Miguel. I trust your journey to Arendelle has been without incident."

"Quite so, Your Majesty, we have grown accustomed to sea faring through our travels as ambassadors."

They continued their conversation with small talk and Elsa gave her input and voiced her opinions where necessary. After a while, just as the dignitaries bowed again to take their leave, the Queen heard her sister calling her. Elsa acknowledged the dignitaries and as they left, she turned to face Anna.

"Me again." Anna curtseyed awkwardly. "May I present to you Prince Hans of the Southern Isles."

"You Majesty." Hans bowed. Elsa acknowledged him politely but felt uncomfortable with how close Anna was standing to the Prince. Moreover, she was actually clinging to his right arm.

"We would like..."

"...your blessing..."

"...of..."

"...our marriage!" They both said in unison with Anna leaning on Hans' shoulder.

Okay, that's the first part of 'Coronation Debacle'. It's called 'The Coronation Banquet' because it pretty much sets the scene for that evening.

I bet a favourite or review wouldn't take that much effort. I know that the review button is literally inches away. Just type smt in and hit that button.
