Chapter 39

Valentine's Day soon arrived. The night before, Cade and Stephen got red roses and boxes of chocolate for Edmund, Lucas, and Kristoff to give to their girlfriends in celebration of the holiday.

All five men were in the castle hallways early in the morning, making sure to keep enough distance from Elsa, Anna, and Olivia's rooms so they would not hear them. The last thing the men wanted was the surprise for the three women to be ruined.

"All right, men. Are you ready to give your gifts to your girlfriends?" Stephen asked.

"Absolutely. Elsa will love these," Edmund replied with a smile.

"You bet. Wait until Olivia sees the roses and chocolate," Lucas said, grinning.

"I cannot wait to see how Anna will react," Kristoff responded, beaming. "It was nice of you and Cade to get the roses and chocolate for us."

"Of course, Kristoff," Cade responded with a nod of approval. The Scottish prince may have been single at that time, but he certainly knew how a man should surprise his girl on Valentine's Day.

"Then you three go right ahead. Cade and I will meet you all in the Great Hall for breakfast," Stephen said encouragingly.

Edmund, Lucas, and Kristoff smiled as they made their way to their girlfriends' rooms.

OoOoOoOoOoO

Edmund was soon at the door to Elsa's bedroom. He hoped she was not still sleeping. The English prince preferred not disturbing her while she was in bed.

Knocking on her door, he said, "Elsa? Are you awake yet? If not, I could just come back later."

"Yes, I am awake. I will be there in a minute," the Snow Queen replied.

After a moment, the Ice Queen opened her door, gasping at what her boyfriend had in his hands.

"Happy Valentine's Day, Elsa," Edmund greeted with a charming grin. He then offered the roses and box of chocolate to Elsa.

"Oh Edmund! Thank you so much!" Elsa exclaimed as she happily took the roses and chocolate. She then hugged her boyfriend. "You are so sweet."

"Of course. You like the roses and chocolate?" Edmund asked.

"Absolutely. Thank you," the Snow Queen stated with a smile.

"You are welcome," the English prince responded, grinning. He was happy Elsa appreciated the roses and chocolate.

OoOoOoOoOoO

Lucas had just arrived outside Olivia's room when the Swedish princess opened the door. Her eyes widened when she saw what her boyfriend was holding. "Are those for me?"

The Belgian prince nodded with smile. "They are. Happy Valentine's Day, Olivia." He then handed the roses and chocolate to his girlfriend with a flourish.

"Thank you, Lucas!" Olivia exclaimed with a beam.

"Of course," Lucas replied, grinning.

The Swedish princess then leaped forward, enveloping Lucas with a hug. Lucas happily returned the hug. He was very happy to call the Swedish princess his girlfriend.

OoOoOoOoOoO

Kristoff knocked on Anna's door, the roses and chocolate in tow. Anna answered.

"Happy Valentine's Day, Anna," the ice harvester greeted with a smile on his face.

"Kristoff!" Anna exclaimed excitedly as she jumped forward and hugged Kristoff. The ice harvester nearly lost his balance but was able to regain his footing as he returned the hug.

After the couple let go of each other, Kristoff handed the roses and chocolate to Anna, which she gladly accepted.

"You are so sweet, Kristoff," Anna said with a grateful beam.

"I try. Just thought I would surprise you since it's our first Valentine's Day together," the ice harvester replied.

"The first of many to come," Anna stated with a wink.

Kristoff chuckled. "Yes. For now, let's enjoy today."

"I agree," Anna said in agreement.

OoOoOoOoOoO

After the royals had breakfast, the couples decided to spend the day with each other. Cade spent time with his daughter before he then went to Edmund and Stephen's guestroom. The Scottish prince remembered how Stephen had taught Edmund and Lucas how to fight. Thus, Cade decided to show Stephen his abilities and see if he could learn anything new from him.

The two men were currently sparring with each other, taking care not to hit anything in the suite. With how huge the room was, Stephen and Cade did not have to worry about knocking anything over.

Stephen was impressed with Cade's abilities. He was just as great a fighter as himself, Edmund, and Lucas. One thing Stephen noticed about the Scottish prince was his quickness; he was faster than himself, Edmund, or Lucas. As fast as Edmund, Stephen, and Lucas were, Cade seemed to be slightly faster.

Once the two men shoved each other backwards, they both landed on their feet. Both men bowed to each other respectfully, effectively ending their sparring match.

"Well done, Cade. I am impressed," Stephen praised.

"I appreciate it, Stephen. You are one heck of an instructor," Cade replied with a nod of approval.

"Well, I try," Stephen responded with a shrug before he said, "You are actually the first person I have ever met that does dual wielding."

"Dual wielding is not a very common practice. Regardless, I chose to do it even though I was told it would not be easy. It took a lot of hard work and dedication, but I was able to master dual wielding just before Rachel was born," Cade explained.

"Every fighter has their unique fighting style, and I am glad you were able to find yours, as Edmund and Lucas were able to find theirs," Stephen said.

"Yes. One thing I have learned is to never compare yourself to someone else. Always do your best no matter what," the Scottish prince stated.

Stephen nodded in agreement. "Exactly. That is one thing my master Noah taught me; to keep doing your best."

Cade nodded. "While dual wielding and bows are my weapons of choice, I am aware of the strengths and weaknesses of dual wielding. When I began dual wielding, I was only a little boy. Therefore, I could only use smaller weapons such as small axes and daggers. As I got older, I eventually chose to focus solely on swords as my dual weapons. I learned that no matter what, the user must be capable of wielding two different weapons with ease in combat. Another important thing is to have speed, power, accuracy, and an extremely fast reaction time in order to maneuver through and counter any attacks from enemies and to make up for the lack of defense. I made sure to work very hard on all four, as possessing two weapons at the same time can often leave one vulnerable on defense."

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

"Precisely. It seems you can hold your own defensively, though," Stephen said.

"I try my best," the Scottish prince replied. "What else would you like to show me?"

Stephen smiled at Cade's willingness to continue learning more about fighting, just like Edmund and Lucas.

OoOoOoOoOoO

Elsa and Edmund were in the library, reading fantasy novels. Before they went there, the Snow Queen placed her roses in a vase filled with water. She then put the vase onto a table in her bedroom.

As they read, the Ice Queen glanced at her boyfriend from time to time. She could not deny how handsome the English prince really was. As handsome as he was, it was his kind personality Elsa liked most about him.

The English prince broke the silence. "Hey Elsa?"

"Yes, Edmund?" Elsa asked.

"Would you like something hot to drink? Hot chocolate or tea, perhaps?" Edmund offered.

"Tea please," the Snow Queen responded with a smile.

"Coming right up," Edmund replied with a chuckle as he set his book down and went to get the drinks.

Soon Edmund returned with two steaming cups of tea. He handed one of them to his girlfriend with a flourish.

"Thank you, Edmund," the Snow Queen stated gratefully.

"Of course," the English prince replied with a grin. "The tea has honey in it. Is that okay with you?"

"That is perfectly fine with me," Elsa said with a nod.

"Perfect! I just wanted to make sure," Edmund stated with a beam.

The Snow Queen smiled at her boyfriend as the two royals sipped their tea and read their books.

"Who is your favorite writer, Edmund?" Elsa asked after a little while.

"There are quite a few writers I like. To name a few, I like Jane Austen. She is among the greatest writers in English history. Her most famous works are Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Persuasion and Northanger Abbey. I also like William Wordsworth," Edmund explained. "Who is your favorite author?"

"I really like Ludvig Holberg. He was born in Norway. I am surprised, however, that he only wrote one novel in his lifetime. It is called Niels Klim's Underground Travels," Elsa elaborated.

"Nice! Have you read it before?" Edmund asked.

"I have. It is one of my favorite novels," the Snow Queen replied. "What about you? Have you read it?"

The English prince shook his head. "Not once. Is it good?"

Elsa nodded. "I like it. Maybe you would enjoy it as well."

"Then that is what I will read next," Edmund responded with a smile.

The Ice Queen grinned; she was glad she could suggest another book for her boyfriend.

OoOoOoOoOoO

Anna and Kristoff were riding in the ice harvester's sled in the forest outside of the kingdom. Though the coldest time of year had already passed, winter still had a firm grip on the kingdom. Snow was still very deep, with none of it having melted since the past November. It usually was not until towards the end of March that the winter snow began to melt in Arendelle.

It was cloudy, but there was no wind or snow falling. That meant perfect weather for a sled ride.

"Remember when I told you Sven and I like to go fast?" Kristoff asked.

"I do! Another thing I remember is telling you I like to go fast, too," Anna replied with a smile.

The ice harvester chuckled. During their time riding in Kristoff's old sled, he recalled when he had just gotten fresh lacquer on it and made Anna put her feet down.

"Another thing I recall is you asking me if I was raised in a barn," Anna added with a giggle.

"Oh yes. That. I also got spit all over you when I was cleaning the lacquer on my old sled," Kristoff looked at his girlfriend with a look of shame. "I never apologized for spitting on you. Sorry about that."

Anna only laughed. "It's okay, Kristoff! I know you meant no harm. The one to blame here is me for putting my feet up when I shouldn't have done so."

"Still though, I could've made you sick," the ice harvester pointed out.

"Well, you didn't. Quit worrying about it, Kristoff!" Anna exclaimed as she playfully punched her boyfriend in the shoulder.

Kristoff laughed. "Alright then. I'll stop worrying about it."

"Good!" Anna said with a smile.

The ice harvester was thinking about when he rode in a sled with Anna for the first time. It was before they had started dating as they had only met that night. Unlike their Valentine's Day ride, it was dark out, and they were eventually chased by wolves. Kristoff also remembered losing his old sled as it was too heavy to go over the gap they jumped across. After Anna had promised to replace his sled, however, he chose to stick along with her, and over time, he became very loyal to her and protective of her as well. Anna kept her word after Elsa thawed the kingdom and gave Kristoff a new sled. The ice harvester remembered how speechless he was at seeing the most amazing sled he had ever laid his eyes on. With how much the new sled meant to him, the ice harvester was determined not to let anything happen to it. After everything Anna had done for him, Kristoff wanted to treat the sled with great care and respect.

The Valentine's Day ride, however, was during broad daylight, and wolves usually did not come out until after sunset.

Over the course of the ride, the royals did not encounter any wolves or thugs. Soon the couple returned safely to the kingdom.

"That was fun! Thanks for the ride, Kristoff!" Anna exclaimed as she hugged the ice harvester.

"You're welcome, Anna. I'm glad you had a good time," Kristoff replied with a smile. The ice harvester was happy his first Valentine's Day with Anna went well. He loved her more than anything, and he was looking forward to many more with her.

OoOoOoOoOoO

Olivia and Lucas were walking around town, looking upon the winter atmosphere. As Christmas was over, the buildings were still covered in snow, but without the decorations.

The couple were walking along, holding hands.

"Winter is such a beautiful season, especially here in Arendelle. I never thought winter could be so amazing," Olivia said.

"I agree. When I first arrived here, I thought the same thing while Edmund and I were ice harvesting with Kristoff in the mountains. I believe every season can be beautiful in its own way," Lucas replied.

"I have heard about ice harvesting before. Just never got into it, as it sounds like it is very tedious," the Swedish princess stated. "It sounds like something I would not be nearly strong enough to do."

"Kristoff explained to Edmund and I how ice harvesting is done. He made sure to have instructions that were easy for us to follow," Lucas explained.

"How was it? Were you tired afterwards?" Olivia wondered.

"Edmund and I were not tired at all. He and I thought we would all be worn out after doing something like that. Even Kristoff was surprised we were not panting. Edmund and I felt like we should have been catching our breath with how much work must be put into harvesting ice," Lucas said.

"You and Edmund look like you are very strong men. How are you two so strong?" the Swedish princess wondered in awe.

"Edmund and I have been lifting weights since we were little boys. It was not until I was four that I began to life weights. On the other hand, Edmund has been training his entire life. Stephen had trained him since the day he was born. With how great a mentor Steph is, I cannot help but wonder what would have happened had he trained me my entire life as well," Lucas elaborated.

"Wow! You two really do care about your health, along with Stephen and Cade," Olivia said with a giggle.

"Yes, we do. I am not saying any of us are better than the others with our abilities. We all have unique abilities and strengths. I would say that me, Edmund, Cade, and Stephen are great fighters in our own ways," Lucas stated, chuckling. "Anyway, that is enough about me. Besides horseback riding, baking, reading, and ice skating, what else do you like to do?"

"I also like to read books and go on adventures," Olivia replied.

"Me too. I always like to explore the outside of every kingdom to see what lies in the forests," Lucas stated.

"It sounds like you and I have some things in common," Olivia said with a smile.

"I guess we do," the Belgian prince replied, grinning.

OoOoOoOoOoO

It was a memorable Valentine's Day for the three royal couples. All of them had a wonderful time with each other.

Edmund, Lucas, and Kristoff did feel kind of bad Cade and Stephen did not have an amazing woman to spend time with them, but the Scottish prince said it was alright. He did have his daughter after all. Cade considered Rachel to be his Valentine. Stephen insisted he was perfectly fine with being single. All he cared about was everyone having a wonderful time.

After they spent all day with each other, the royals had clam chowder, lobster, and crab cakes for dinner. Dessert consisted of red velvet cake and ice cream.

OoOoOoOoOoO

"Did you have fun today, Elsa?" Edmund asked as he and the Snow Queen were gazing out of the window in Elsa's bedroom.

Elsa smiled. "I had a wonderful time today, Edmund. Thank you."

The English prince grinned. "Of course, Elsa. Since this is our first Valentine's Day together, I wanted to make it a good one."

"You certainly did a good job of that," the Ice Queen replied with a giggle.

"I did my best," Edmund replied with a grin. "It makes me happy you had a good time, today. Hope you sleep well tonight. Good night, Elsa."

"Thank you, Edmund. Good night," the Ice Queen responded as the royal couple smiled at each other before they kissed each other. After they pulled away, Edmund left to allow his girlfriend some rest.

OoOoOoOoOoO

"Thanks for a great time today, Kristoff! It was amazing!" Anna exclaimed as she and Kristoff walked through the hallways towards her bedroom.

"You're welcome, Anna. Glad you had a good time," Kristoff replied with a beam.

"Not bad for a first Valentine's Day together, huh?" Anna asked with a smirk.

The ice harvester chuckled. "Not bad at all."

"I am looking forward to many more together," Anna said with a smile.

"Me too," the ice harvester responded, grinning.

Once the two royals entered Anna's room, they kissed each other goodnight before Kristoff left to let Anna get some sleep.

OoOoOoOoOoO

"I wanted to thank you for today, Lucas. This was a great first Valentine's Day together," Olivia said, smiling.

"It was a wonderful time indeed. I cannot wait to spend many more with you in the future," Lucas replied, grinning.

"Would you like to do anything, tomorrow?" the Swedish princess asked.

"Certainly. What would you like to do?" the Belgian prince wondered.

"I guess we can figure that out tomorrow. For now, I would like to get some rest," Olivia said.

"Me too," Lucas responded before he and Olivia kissed each other goodnight.

"Good night, Olivia. I will see you in the morning," the Belgian prince said with a smile.

"Good night, Lucas. See you tomorrow," the Swedish princess replied with a beam as her boyfriend left the room to allow her some rest.
