I will probably post Valka, Elinor and the Duke's character bios tomorrow
But let’s just say there is a special guest who will appear as an ally to either Corona or Arendelle, but I’ll never tell! Anyone who guesses right will get a special present and everlasting love from me!
Author’s note: Finally another chapter finished! I may or may not have referenced a few Disney films, especially “Hunchback of Notre Dame” (a.k.a. One of the few inspirations of this story), and not to worry, the servant will appear in later chapters and I’ll even give him a name! Enjoy!
"The Duke of Weselton." The queen sneered upon meeting face to face with her former partner. Elsa could not believe her eyes, for she had thought she had banished the Duke after betraying her and even forcing his bodyguards to murder her!
"Why it’s about time I have been addressed properly," the Duke shot back at the queen. "You have quite the clinquant gathering you have Your Majesty. The royalty, the nobility, the gentry, and how clever, even the rabble!" The Duke sneered at any person on each side of the aisle as he sauntered all the way to the sisters end, eyes locked at the queen.
"What do you want?!" Anna screeched at the Duke, her right arms clinging to her sister.
"Oh nothing really," the old man stated in a sardonic tone. "I simply felt quite disturbed for not collecting an invitation. Was there something wrong?"
"You weren’t invited!" Kristoff added. "And you know damn well why!"
"Silence!"
Elsa quickly noticed Rapunzel being behind the Duke and began to worry.
"Rapunzel! Get away from him!" The queen cried.
"No. I won’t," Rapunzel responded with a demanding tone. "He’s helping me sustain my kingdom, keep my people happy and I don’t want to fail!"
"With what exactly?"
Rapunzel then glanced at the Duke, hoping he can explain everything.
"Care to tell them Your Grace?"
"Certainly," the Duke cleared his throats as he began. "Listen carefully, all of you! Behold, beginning tonight, Corona will bestow it’s people, and other kingdoms indulgences! Remissions of sin, redemption of past misdeeds! Soon enough The Lord will forgive us and walk with you to the greatness of the peaceful heavens above!"
The crowd suddenly murmured amongst themselves; What is this? Indulgence? I thought we were past this already? What is he up to?
"Henceforth, those who are willing to come along, will be blessed with holy riches and will be more then welcome to join the sacred sanctuary of God! Those who abstain will be personally denounced of purity and shall become so until they have relented! Anyone who accepts, speak now!"
As the Duke finished his speech, the crowd continued to ponder on amongst one another.
With confusion and worry traveling his head, Eugene scurried towards his wife’s direction.
"Rapunzel, what’s this all about?" Eugene questioned.
"The Duke offered to help me with Corona," Rapunzel answered. "I wanted you and the citizens to be happy."
"But is this really what you want? For the citizens to be controlled by some whacky old religious man?"
"They won’t be controlled, it’s forgiveness Eugene. He forgave you after you gave up being a thief to be with me!"
"Who?!"
“The Lord.”
While the couple bickered, Prince Jackson was the first to step out from the crowd, donning a noble expression in his face.
"I will join, for the glory of St. Petersburg!" The young prince decreed.
"Jack, no!" His father, Tsar Nicholas bellowed, going after his son. "I will not have you risk your country for some foolish religious scam!"
"Risk my life? You really need to get with the program father! He said it could help any kingdom!"
"You do not understand, it is scheme! It will make Mother Russia suffer the consequences!"
"What consequences? Are you even listening to yourself?"
The young amber eyed prince then stormed off to the other side of the ballroom, where the Duke was waiting.
"Jack please, do not do this!"
"I can and I will, I’m sorry father but as future heir to the throne, I will make sure Mother Russia will survive when I’m around!"
After the last remark was said, Jack turned to the Duke’s side next to Rapunzel
"Well then…anyone else agrees with Prince Jackson?"
"My mother and I will accept!" Princess Merida cried as she and Queen Elinor followed Jack.
"Dunbroch will rest assured be safe under the hands of The Lord," the queen commented.
After the Dunbrochs have accepted, some partygoers have followed alongside, thus agreeing to the Duke’s commands.
"Can I please join too your grace?" A tall young man, one of Elsa’s servants, appeared with a smile. "Would that be okay with you Queen Elsa?"
Elsa attempted to reason but was interrupted by the Duke.
"Good gracious Queen Elsa, such filth to hire a beast into one of your little servants!" The Duke sneered in utter disgust, referring to the servants deformed face on his left side. "Have you no decency? Have you no sense of instinct to chain this creature in a circus?! For shame!"
Upon watching the Duke’s guards take away the poor man to his unknown fate, Hiccup glared at the Duke, fuming with anger over the cruelty of an innocent being.
"Stop, I object!" Hiccup boomed as he raced to beat up the guards, releasing the servant to his freedom, catching the attention of other partygoers. "Why should I have to give up everything I cherish to join a conniving con artist bent on controlling people’s decisions, and now he takes the freedom of man he denounced as a monster?! I don’t want ignorance taking over my kingdom! I want justice!"
"Silence!"
"JUSTICE!" Hiccup screamed as he drew his fist aiming at the ceiling.
"Hiccup," his mother murmured in awe of her sons actions.
"Keep spouting nonsense, because soon my allies and I will be the giants whose shoulders you’d stood on of you could stand without the false leg My Lord! Such a pity, you tossed a privilege for your kingdom right down the ocean over a wretched servant."
"Tossed? Why? For standing up to a so-called "unholy creature" the same way you mistreat those who are oppose to your little scheme?! The only beast around here is you!"
"I too will object!" Duke Ralph roared as he stood proudly by the sisters and Prince Hiccup. "No man ever degrades another as unholy!"
"I side with Queen and Prince," Tsar Nicholas, with a heavy heart from the betrayal of his son. "I am not going to allow my son let St. Petersburg crumble from ignorance."
"Me too!" Anna raised her hand, the other clung to her sister’s arm.
"As do I," Kristoff remarked.
"So am I!" Astrid cheered.
"For justice!" Valka glared at the Duke as Gobber followed her.
As several other partygoers stood next to the queen, quite a number of others stayed with the Duke and his allies,band very little have abstained, not wanting to take part.
"Queen Elsa, send your guards to seize those vexatious rebels at once!"
"Absolutely not," the queen spoke, her tone was rather bitter. "You have betrayed me one too many times to count; You accuse me of a monster, round up your bodyguards to kill me, spread nonsensical propaganda to my kingdom, and you just now mistreat one of my humble servants AND a party guest? You must think me mad Your Grace, or should I even call you that."
"Believe nothing she says, for this wicked witch is merely a traitor to the world around her, even to her own sister! Shutting herself to conceal a power much greater than herself, even at the cost of your dearest little sister’s life! You will come to me, dear queen, soon I will defeat you."
"I shan’t, now please leave, and take your disgusting ignorance with you."
"I swear to my words," the Duke glared at his newfound nemeses. "You will pay for this imprudence, you will come to me and I shall win."
He then marched out, followed by his allies, heading towards the gates, back to Corona. Elsa could not believe her eyes. Once a close partner in trade, now a sworn enemy bent on vengeance against her, or the fate of Arendelle shall be untimely. The fear of Anna’s safety suddenly came back.
"Elsa," Anna leaned close to her sister. "Don’t be afraid."
"I’m not," murmured the elder sister as she glanced at the crowd of people leaving the gates alongside the Duke.

"One thing Toothless," Hiccup ranted at his stallion. "If the Duke thinks he can treat people like trash, he’s wrong!"
"Don’t act brashly Hiccup," Gobber began. "You also created a bit of a stir at the party, what would your father think if he were still here right now?"
"I don’t care Gobber," Hiccup replied with a huff escaping his mouth. "If Dad were here, he would be questioning the same thing! What does religion have to do with abusing the unprivileged and the different like they don’t deserve to breathe? What does he have against those who are different?!"
"You can’t right all the wrong in the world by yourself," Valka began. "There are bound to be others that share the same beliefs as the Duke, such as his little allies."
"If I can’t, then who will?"
"Who knows Hiccup."
The queen then gave a warm hug to her only son, hoping all would be right with the world again.
Author’s Note: It took quite a while , but I have finally finished chapter two. Chapter three is halfway done, I can tell you that! In this chapter, Rapunzel receives advice from a face that we all scorn at. Enjoy!
Rapunzel turned around to find a diminutive fellow of old age. Despite his small stature, he had a rather large nose and polished hair that seemed false. His arms and legs were much gangly for the old man, and he had very big glasses that magnified his eye a bit.
"I’m not a child, sir…" Rapunzel responded, wiping her tears.
"My most sincerest apologies for being quite rude my lady." The old man bowed as his toupee flipped over.
"Who…..w-who are you?" Rapunzel tried her best to answer, for she wasn’t in her brightest spirits to talk to anybody.
"A friend," the old man replied with a snidely grin. "Do tell me what is the worry of your troubles my dear?"
"My husband Eugene and I recently became king and queen of our country. But I feel as if though I don’t fit in; when I was a baby, a witch kidnapped me from my castle and locked me in a tower until my eighteenth birthday, all because I had a magic power in my hair that glowed when I sang a song."
"Power you say?" The old man asked. "Do go on."
"Eugene and I married and soon we became king and queen of our kingdom. But there are still so much things I worry about. I don’t know how to fit in with other royals, and it feels awkward to give servants and guards orders or talking to the townspeople when you hardly know any of them, it was easy to make friends before but now that I’m queen, it gets much more difficult than it was before. I hate to admit it, but it feel rather envious of the queen of Arendelle. Queen Elsa has a gift of her own and is now loved by many of her townspeople."
"Friends?" The old man spoke. "Why I can be you friend miss…"
"Oh! Where are my manners?" The brunette stammered. "I’m Rapunzel. Pleased to meet you!"
"The pleasure is all mine Rapunzel, I am the Duke of Weselton. Now, you were saying dearest?"
"Where was I? Oh right! Another thing that concerned me is this; how on earth will I know what’s best for my kingdom? How can I be sure of what to do for it, what would the townspeople think, and what would my husband think?"
"Perhaps, I can be of assistance my lady," the Duke began. "I can guide you through the steps of political matters and give you the key basic to governing a kingdom, and I will throw in some benefits alongside."
"What benefits do you offer? I hope you don’t mind me asking."
"Religious benefits. Your kingdom would soon be glittering in happiness with The Lord, bestowing indulgences on the townspeople, presenting redemption to those who have sinned in the past, from thieves to beloved citizens, wenches to holy saints, people will remember the beloved Queen and King of…my apologies my lady, but what is the name of your kingdom?"
"Corona, your grace," Rapunzel added.
"…Corona! Picture yourself with your beloved husband with thousands of Corona’s inhabitants greeting to you and respecting you as their queen, The Lord himself would be pleased to see the kingdom free of sin!"
"I’d never imagined it that way."
"So join me Rapunzel, and together we will ensure Corona has what it needs, a well respected queen, with her shoulders covered by the hands of God!"
"But what of the people? How will they react to all this?"
"They will merely be pleased your highness! The villagers will finally look upon a queen of noble heart such as yourself."
"And Eugene, I know he’s not much a religious person…"
"Your husband will be proud of what you have accomplished, I can assure you that Eugene will be understanding even if he has little belief. Will you accept my offer?"
"I will!"
"Excellent decision my fair queen!"
The queen’s spirits lifted as she made her way to the door, ushering the Duke to come inside.
"Even this dumbfounded queen may yet prove one day to be," the Duke pondered to himself. "Of use to me."
And so, the Duke walked to the door, following a cheerful Rapunzel, who felt rather eager to tell her husband.

Meanwhile, the other partygoers were having a ball and connecting with one another, Elsa, Anna, and several others danced together, having the time of their lives.
"Elsa, I’m so glad we can be together again!" Anna began as the sisters headed back to the throne.
"Me too," Elsa nodded with a smile. "If I hadn’t shut you out, or the world, I never would’ve gotten to know everyone more, especially you."
Thus, the sisters hugged each other, wrapping their arms around each other in content.
"Nor would I!" A snidely old voice from the other side of the room bellowed.
I have finished the first half of the second chapter and have already gotten the third to fifth chapters almost complete! Such productiveness, much responsibility, so organized...
The character’s page is up and ready for viewers! It will be updated as the chapters come and go! However it does have a few errors that I'll fix eventually.
Author’s Note: My most sincerest apologies for taking so long with this chapter. I wanted to formally introduce the characters aside from Elsa, Anna, and so forth. I also have been dealing with some personal issues that I’d rather not talk about. I do hope you enjoy the very first chapter of “Our Kingdom Come.” This chapter will introduce other beloved characters as they enjoy the festivities from Arendelle.
Summer
The August sun fell to its daily slumber as the moon began to rise in the sky, giving very little light for the darkened sky as the palace was lifted by the sounds of laughter and happiness.
Royals, nobles, and close ones danced on the ballroom, devoured snacks from the table, and conversed with familiar faces from around the world.
The sisters spoke with the tsar of St. Petersburg, Russia, Nicholas St. North. A broad elder king. His face draped with a scraggily beard of white, a pointy nose and blue eyes. Beside him was his son Jackson, a brunette, slender young lad. Brown eyes to compliment his spiky brown hair, Jackson would soon take over as tsar. However, what Jackson really wanted in life was to be able to stay close to his younger siblings back at home.
All the while, Kristoff accidentally bumped into the future prince of the neighboring kingdom of Berk, Henri. Back in Berk, Henri often times was never addressed by his name, but rather addressed by the name Hiccup, a name coined by his mother, much to his dismay.
Now Hiccup, was a tall, lean young man, with auburn locks, emerald eyes, and a face plastered with a plethora of freckles, Hiccup was often considered a charming prince the day he turned twenty. His escort, and longtime friend, Astrid, was beside him to keep company while they joined in Arendelle’s festivities. She was a bit shorter than her companion, golden hair and aqua eyes, Astrid was personally asked by Hiccup to escort him to Arendelle; if she refused, the queen would then bring his cousin, Snotlout along to the trip; after hearing all of that, the blonde girl quickly accepted.
Princess Merida of Dunbroch wandered about to find something decent to do. A dreadfully boring party tired the red headed lass to the point where she want to sit. She wanted to be anywhere but here. She was to be there to greet the sisters of Arendelle after her mother, the beloved Queen Elinor, asked her to go, much to the princess’s dismay. Elinor wanted her daughter to be more social, as a princess must be in order to converse with her loyal subjects. After several failed attempts to change her mind, She reluctantly agreed. Merida continued to walk to the balcony to sit and wait until the party was over. Meanwhile, Queen Elinor herself socialized with Queen Valka of Berk and her close friend Gobber. A tragedy has occurred in Berk in the past, leaving the Queen and Prince mourning the loss of many, even a loved one so close to their heart, the beloved King Stoick.
Behind her was the burly and gentle Duke Ralph of Niceland. The Duke and the queen have been close, but rather distant due to Elsa previous nature. He ever, after the dispute with Weselton, Arendelle has drawn the attention to Niceland in terms of distance in transporting their goods. As the Duke and Queen continued the business, they grew from acquaintances to the best of friends, even sending each other letters irrelevant to their trading business. Elsa even traveled to Niceland herself to personally invite the Duke to her party.
And finally the lovely King and Queen of Corona arrive; the beautiful Queen Rapunzel and dashing King Eugene. Married three years after a trial of events that began with a golden flower, Eugene and Rapunzel couldn’t be any more happier together. Rapunzel’s locks were once golden like the sun, for there was a magic flower passed down from herbs before she was born. Because of this flower, Rapunzel’s hair shined and glowed when a song was sung. But shortly after her eighteenth birthday, her gift was cut forever by Eugene to save her from the wrath of her captor, an old hag who abused Rapunzel’s hair to live forever. Since the death of the captor, Rapunzel reunited with her family and fell in love with Eugene. They have attended Elsa’s coronation three years after their wedding, and have survived the harsh winter brought upon by the Snow Queen together, but little did Rapunzel know of the actual reasons behind
"Eugene, I’m so proud of Elsa." Rapunzel spoke with a sullen tone. "She’s done so much for the safety of her kingdom and for her sister especially. I wish I could be strong like her."
"Rapunzel," Eugene began. "That’s just crazy talk. You are strong. You are courageous. You were willing to sacrifice your own freedom, your own life to save me from dying. You drove yourself to leap out of that tower to see those lights that made you curious. Don’t ever look down on yourself.”
"She was able to govern her kingdom without her parents as a child, if I had never been locked up in that tower, I probably would’ve made the kingdom a happier place without worry."
"But Corona is happy, happy that their lost princess has returned, and now that princess is a queen, the kingdom isn’t lost."
As soon as his word was said, Eugene kissed his wife and made his way to chat with the Duke of Niceland.
Rapunzel then took a stroll to the garden, not once looking back, for she grew much too worried to do so. The brunette sat down at a bench made of stone trying to conceal her bubbling tears.
"I wonder how Corona would be like," Rapunzel pondered as her head hung down to where she can see her hands. "If I could be much wiser, less fragile, even stronger."
"Something troubling you my dear?" A short scraggily figure appeared behind her, frightening the young queen.
Much apologies for the hiatus you guys. Finals came up and I was desperate to pass. Now that I'm done for the semester, I can finally write the first chapter....well chapter one at least haha :)
Author’s Note: it brings me so much joy to finally present the first ever chapter of “Our Kingdom Come.” I hope you guys enjoy it.
We hadn’t always been there. It was simply by chance, and chances are, nothing would’ve ended the way it happened now. It could have all been avoided, plain and simple, but we the people were brought to sing of a better tomorrow, fight for indulgence or not, and yet, with all this scorn and hatred occurring, what would He think? What would The Lord think of this chaos, what once was peaceful and balanced? We lived on the peaceful realm of the world at some point in our lives and were supposed to live in that peaceful realm until it was time to come face to face with Him, and yet, from pitiful circumstances, we would’ve died long before our time was supposed to come. We all died from war.
This is a story of how two neighboring kingdoms grew from love and tranquility, to detest and rivalry, and it all began in the kingdom of Arendelle.
The sun reached its peak in the sky as a swarm of unfamiliar faces from all over the globe came to bless the lovely Queen Elsa of Arendelle for a wonderful occasion. The Queen was a remarkably beautiful young woman of twenty one, with a tall, slender figure, long platinum blonde hair wrapped in a single braid that gently rests her elbows, fair skin with a light touch of freckles, and turquoise eyes that resemble the gorgeous sky. With her was her dearest younger sister, the fair Princess Anna. Anna is quite the opposite of Elsa. A darling mop of strawberry blonde hair tied in two pigtails, and glistening blue eyes, Anna was joyous to be with her sister again.
For nearly eighteen years, the two sisters were forced into separation from each other for one special gift Elsa had been born with; she could create snow! From the tips of her fingers, she could unleash beautiful snowflakes and turn a boring old room into a winter wonderland. Alas, for the safety of her sister, Elsa closed the door on Anna and remained quiet, concealing the gift that she feared would be a curse. After a selfless act of true love, Anna and Elsa were reunited again, and the kingdom could rejoice once more. Elsa had invited everyone from all across the globe to rejoice the bond between she and her younger sister.
As Elsa donned her usual royal attire, Anna was more than overjoyed. Dashing from room to room, preparing for the festivity, fussing over what to wear and what jewelry would look perfect. Today was going to be perfect.
As the sisters prepared for the occasion, an armada of ships and fjords sailed to the docks on Arendelle. From the beloved kingdom of Corona to the valiant clan of Dunbroch, royals from across the world stepped out of their ships and and began to enter the castle gates, waiting to rejoice and bless the princess me the queen of Arendelle.
"Och, my sore eyes can’t wait to see the princess and the queen again!" A red haired lass chided with joy.
"Faster Eugene!" a brunette maiden chortled as she dragged her husband, Eugene to the gates.
"I bet this party will be amazing!" said a freckled faced young chief as he strides to the palace.
"I second that! Who knew they would actually invite us again?!" His escort and friend retorted.
As the party guests began to make their way to the palace, preparations were almost complete. The servants of the castle went on and about to ensure the party would be precise with no erros this time around. The bakers bringing the pastries and the scrumptious chocolate mousse cake, the florist decorating the ballroom with the flowers of the sisters’ choice, the musicians setting up their instruments, and the cooks finally perfecting the delicious soup as the roast was ready to be eaten by many. Meanwhile, as Anna had just fixed her hair after vigorous hours brushing off the knots from her beauty rest, a knock was heard from her door.
"Come in," cried Anna as she fluffed her beautiful ball gown.
In entered the rugged mountain man she knew and adored, her one true love Kristoff. The blonde dropped his jaw upon seeing his sweetheart dressed and beautiful.
"You look beautiful," Kristoff murmured, making sure she heard not a word from his mouth.
"Well, you look handsome," shot back the strawberry blonde girl as she planted a kiss right on his cheek.
"I hope I’m not interrupting," Elsa announced as she entered her sister’s room. "But it’s almost time for the party to start, and I don’t want to keep the guests waiting."
"Right." Anna quickly finished that last touches of her hair as Kristoff walked away to finish getting ready. Elsa then made her way to hug her younger sister.
"Oh Anna, it brings me joy to be able to hug you again."
"Me too."
Instantaneously, the clock struck at 6 ’ o’clock, the exact hour the bells chimed, it was time for the party as the gates opened by the command of the queen. The guests clapped in joy as they saw a glimpse of the queen and the princess from the balcony.
Long ago, in a land of peace and happiness, two beloved queens would soon become sworn enemies. Two kingdoms would then crumble into a battlefield. This is a story of how indulgence can turn what once became a tranquil land into a chaotic war zone.
