Bab 58: Ch. 57 - The travel to Arendelle isn't as smooth as expected

[This could be good news or bad news to you all. Princess Fiona would be included in the harem, I mean she's not totally an Ogre, right? It's just a curse and the reason why it became permanent was because it was Shrek who kissed her. One more thing, unlike Tigress and the others, Princess Fiona would be more like an extra heroine, she won't get much screentime like the others and probably wouldn't get that much development. You can say she's just there to add some spice in his nightly adventures.]

[If you're worried about Shrek, don't worry he already got his swamp.]

|-_-_-_-_-_-_|

"What should I say if we met? Should I....say Hi first?" Inside a room that might be mistaken for a large refrigerator due to the ice and frosty atmosphere, a beautiful white haired woman was pacing back and forth as she placed her finger under her chin.

"How do I greet him then? What if he's an old man? I don't even know what he looks like!" Scratching her head in slight annoyance,

"Okay...." Closing her eyes and inhaling deeply, Elsa opened her eyes again and stared straightforward in a serious manner.

"Hello, my name is Elsa, I'm....the princess of Arendelle, it's nice to meet you..." Elsa hesitated between sentences for a bit, as if what she would say next is not suited enough.

"It's too formal...." Elsa shook her head and repeated, this time she had a slight smile on her face.

"Hi, I'm Elsa. Princess of Arendelle, what's your name?" After maintaining a smile for a few more seconds, Elsa finally dropped her act and exhaled deeply.

"It should be good enough..." Elsa smiled in relief as she nodded her head.

She then went to sit on a stool and faced the frozen mirror, although it was frozen, she could still see her reflection.

Elsa stared at herself in the mirror for a few moments before she tried to find anything unusual so she could remove it from her face.

"You can do this, Elsa. The last time you talked to a stranger was 10 years ago. Be mature." Elsa inhaled and exhaled nervously as she stared at her gloved hand.

"Conceal it. Don't feel it." She muttered the quote that her father always tells her if she accidentally used power on things.

"If he really has powers like me. Is he... Is he also having trouble controlling it like me?" Elsa spoke to herself in wonder.

"If there's a chance that he could control his powers. Hopefully, he will teach me." Elsa said for the last time before grabbing her hair brush and started brushing her hair. This was the first time she started fixing herself. Normally, she would spend the rest of her day locked up in her, barely having any contact with her sister, almost to none. Because of that, she was left to reflect on herself, which in turn made her mature earlier.

But now, it's different. There's finally a chance of having someone to teach her how to control her powers.

***

While Elsa was in her room fixing herself, Jin had already left the castle with Tigress and Rapunzel who insisted on joining.

King Frederic and Queen Arianna also wanted to come but no one would be in charge of the Kingdom, so they decided to let the three of them go alone. They trust Jin and Tigress enough to protect their daughter from any harm, which is true in a sense.

"Both of you, hold on tight to me." After speaking out, Tigress placed her hand on his shoulder while Rapunzel didn't hesitate to jump on his back.

"Piggyback!" Rapunzel said happily as Jin chuckled slightly. He then turned his attention to Tigress and told her.

"I suggest something more secure than that. Flying alone is fine to me but this is the first time I would fly while carrying two people." After hearing Jin's words, Tigress nodded her head and quickly hugged on his chest while placing her legs just behind her legs. Her arms were buried between his back and Rapunzel's stomach.

'Ahh~ having two beautiful women riding me on the back and front is such a bliss.' Jin internally sighed in pleasure.

"Let's get going now." Jin said after feeling that they're already in their comfortable positions.

"Wait, can I go to the bathroom fir-?! Waaaahhhh!??" Just as Rapunzel suddenly got nervous for some unknown reason, she tried to escape and make some excuses so she could have space to breathe, however it was already too late as Jin had already bent his knees and jumped as high as possible.

*Boom!*

With a sonic boom, Jin then appeared in the air, their clothes fluttering in the wind.

"Wait wait! Oh my god!" Rapunzel started panicking and almost slipped off of Jin's back if it wasn't for him reacting in time and grabbing her waist.

"Stop moving! You're going to slip again!" Jin reprimanded her as she kept on kicking her legs in the air in panic and nervousness.

*Huff!*

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to! It's just that I'm ..." After taking deep breaths, Rapunzel finally calmed down a little and explained her reason.

"...afraid of heights." Rapunzel looked away and said, making Jin and Tigress stare at her in a deadpan expression before Jin's face twitched and he couldn't help but yell at her.

"Why didn't you tell me that sooner!"

"I'm sorry, okay! I was just.....too excited." Rapunzel pouted, making Jin want to rub his temples but his hands are occupied so he could only sigh.

"You used to live on top of a tower, right? How the heck are you still afraid of heights then?"

"This flying thing and growing on top of a tower are different." Rapunzel answered.

"Well, we still have a few more minutes before we leave, how about I help you remove that fear?" After hearing Jin's offer, Rapunzel got a bad premonition but still asked as she was curious. Unfortunately for her, this would be her greatest mistake. Just like what they use to say, 'Curiosity Kills The Cat.' And this time, Rapunzel is the cat.

"Simple, really. You just need to trust me." Jin grinned, which just made Rapunzel's premonition slowly become intense.

"What do you mean by th-?" Rapunzel didn't even manage to finish her sentence when she suddenly disappeared from Jin's arms.

*Fwooossh!*

If you look down, you would see Rapunzel free falling in the air as she kept screaming out of fear in the top of her lungs.

"JIN, I'LL KILL YOU!!!!!" Despite the fear, she still managed to express her anger on the perpetrator, which is Jin.

"Just trust me!" Jin yelled back, but all he received was another threat from her.

"*Sigh*, this isn't going to end well, isn't it?" Tigress, who was hugging him in front, has been watching and listening to their interactions and she can't help but shake her head and express her opinion.

"Don't worry. I can handle this." Jin confidently smirked and answered as he saw that Rapunzel's momentum is slowly increasing, as her body is also close on coming contact on the ground.

"Time for Superman to save the day." Jin muttered as he quickly used his chi to fly towards Rapunzel's figure and predicted where she would fall.

*Fwooossh!*

"Asaaahhhh!!"

Arriving at exactly where Rapunzel would fall, Jin watched as Rapunzel fell on his arms.

"Oooh!"

"Gotcha!" Jin cheekily smiled as he could see the fright expression on Rapunzel's face that is slowly being replaced by anger.

"I almost died!"

"Well, luckily I caught you didn't I?" Jin said with a grin, making Rapunzel's face mouth twitch as she was fuming in anger.

"How about you catch this then?" Deciding to get her revenge, Rapunzel suddenly took out her mighty frying pan out of nowhere before smashing it against Jin's face, though she was expecting him to dodge but surprisingly, she successfully slammed the bottom of the frying on Jin's face, making a dent in the shape of Jin's face out of it.

"Huh? That actually wor- aaaaahhh!" Just as Rapunzel was about to smile in victory, Jin suddenly threw her far up in the air, bringing her once again in a free fall.

Meanwhile, Jin took the frying pan out of his face and saw the dent on it with the shape of his face, Jin threw it away before muttering.

"Stupid frying pans."

"I know you still loved her despite being smashed with her frying pans, after all, you still love me despite biting your neck during our mating." Tigress caressed Jin's hair as she spoke.

"Well, I guess you're right. I do have a thing for weird women." Jin can't help but agree.

***

Just like that, Jin kept on throwing Rapunzel while they resumed their journey until her fear of heights disappeared completely.

However, it was replaced with anger on Jin, who just kissed her which quickly made the anger go away.

If only it was this easy to get forgiveness back in his world then the world would be peaceful.

Soon, Jin finally saw the Arendelle Kingdom in its full glory. It is residing on a large island that is surrounded by seas, there's also a bridge connecting from it to another island but it is on the other end of the island, so most people that visit the Kingdom have to visit through the docks.

"It's so beautiful!" Rapunzel's eyes gleamed in excitement. She wonders what the princesses in the kingdom would look like, would they also have long magical hair like her? Or maybe they also have a story that is equally as painful as hers.

She also wonders about their culture. Do they also worship the sun like her kingdom? There are so many new things to try and discover in this new kingdom and she can't wait to try them

***

As the sun was already setting, King Agnarr and Queen Iduna just woke up and went to do their morning routine.

When they arrived at the dining table, they were surprised to see that a handsome black haired man eating on the table with his bare hands while two women by his side were also eating but not as barbaric as Jin.

"Who are they?" Instead of being cautious, King Agnarr was confused on who they are, after all, his guards won't simply allow a stranger to enter his humble abode.

"W-we don't know them, your highness. We only let them in because he gave us this. However, they suddenly started eating the breakfast that we prepared for you and Queen Iduna." The female staff on the side stuttered and explained before giving him the invitation that he wrote last night to invite Jin to Anna's birthday.

"Are you Jin?" After seeing the invitation letter, King Agnarr suddenly had a look of realization before turning his attention to Jin and asking him.

"In the flesh. So, where's the birthday girl?"

Bab 59: Ch. 58 - Arendelle's two princesses

"So, where's the birthday girl?" Just in time as Jin mentioned Anna, the birthday girl herself just walked inside the dining hall with a sleepy expression, her hair was tangled and a frizzy mess, combined with mouth having hair in it, this kind of appearance is contrary to a supposed beautiful and well-mannered princess of a Kingdom.

"Anna! Fix yourself!" King Agnarr quickly woke her up and scolded her as her appearance is quite embarrassing for the guest.

"Wha-?" Just as Anna woke up and yawned, she was about to ask when her eyes suddenly caught three new individuals on the table, looking at her with a funny but amused expression.

Anna quickly wiped off the saliva off of her face before running away from the scene, her face was beet red from embarrassment.

"Princess Anna! Your dress is here!" The servant that is assigned to her showed Anna her dress as the servant chased after her.

"*Sigh* I'm so sorry about her. Anyways, I hope you like the food that our staff made."

"It's fine. The food is good by the way and sorry for intruding all of the sudden, I just smelled the tea from here and my body just moved on its own." Jin said before he finished his plate and burped before grabbing the tea cup and drank it slowly.

"Ahh~ it's jasmine tea, isn't it?" Jin asked, while Agnarr nodded his head.

"Yes, It is my wife's favourite tea to drink every morning. Right, hun?" Agnarr laughed and swiftly started a nice conversation with a hitch. As a King, Agnarr obviously has immense skills in communication, thanks to those skills, Arendelle Kingdom has managed to establish several relations and connections towards different Kingdoms. Making Arendelle, one of the best and richest kingdom in the continent. Even though they just sell ice.

"He's right. I hope you find yourself at home here. You don't have to worry abo-." Just as Iduna was continuing the conversation, Jin went straight to the point and cut her off.

"You're here to find out about my powers, right?" Jin said, as his eyes locked on them.

*Gulp!*

They both looked at each other's eyes before gulping in nervousness.

"Well, that was one of our reasons but the main reason is because we truly wanted to invite you to Anna's birthday." Although shocked, Agnarr managed to maintain his facade and smoothly made the subject go on his side.

"I see. Then it's only right for me to attend it. By the way, these two women by my side are Tigress and Rapunzel. They're my women by the way." Jin introduced them before shrugging his shoulders when he mentioned the last sentence.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. Thanks for the food you gave us." While Tigress just nodded and expressed her gratitude, Rapunzel was more positive and friendly.

"Is that the birthday girl, Anna? She's such a cute girl! She'll surely grow up to be a beautiful princess!" Rapunzel said with a smile.

"Thank you, Princess Rapunzel. I'm sure Anna would also feel the same about you." King Agnarr replied with a calm smile.

"Why thank you." Rapunzel smiled warmly and just in time, Anna arrived back with a slide on the floor entrance.

"Hi! My name is Anna of Arendelle! It is nice to finally meet you!" Anna then quickly approached Rapunzel as her instincts were telling her to go to this girl as she could sense the same vibe that she has on her.

"Oh my gosh! I'm Rapunzel of Corona Kingdom! I'm so happy to meet you! And also, Happy birthday!"

"Oh, thank you! Come with me, I'll show you my room! I used to play with my sister, Elsa but she unknowingly started shutting me out and I don't know why. Anyways, let's go go go go!" Seeing that Anna has already dragged Rapunzel away, Jin and the rest of the room were left speechless.

There's only one thing that is on their minds right now.

'They surely get along just fine!'

***

After preparing another wave of breakfast, King Agnarr and Queen Iduna finally had their share of breakfast in the morning.

"Please, let us talk in the garden while the staff will prepare the small banquet in the hall." The first thing King Agnarr did after he finished breakfast was to immediately fetch Jin and offer a conversation in the garden.

"No problem. Tigress, wanna come?" Jin nodded his head and said before turning his head back towards Tigress and asking her.

"No. I want to walk around." Tigress shook her head and denied. Suddenly, Queen Iduna butted in, taking this as a chance to have an alone conversation with Tigress.

"Please allow me to guide you. There are many wonderful things in the castle, I'm sure you'll like them all." Seeing Iduna's eager expression, Tigress can't reject her, so she decided to agree. Anyways, it doesn't hurt to have the Queen herself as a tour guide.

***

While Iduna was busy with Tigress, Jin and Agnarr finally arrived in the garden. As they walked side by side, Agnarr was the only one speaking while Jin listened.

"I apologize in advance but there would be not as many visitors as you will expect later. The castle has long been in a lockdown, with only a few staff living alongside us." Agnarr apologized and did a slight bow before resuming his pace.

"It's fine. I hope it's not offending to ask but may I ask why the castle went on lockdown?" Although Jin already knows why they went on lockdown and closed their gates, it would be suspicious of him if he didn't ask and surprisingly knows it all of the sudden.

As if expecting Jin's question, Agnarr swiftly answered as if it was rehearsed by him several times.

"We have quite a special circumstance and also the real main reason why we invited you here." Agnarr then stopped in front of a large tree before continuing.

"Before I speak the reason behind our closed gates. Can I see if the rumors about you are true?" Agnarr then seriously stared at Jin. He has been itching to know about Jin's rumored fire abilities and now is the best time to ask for it.

"No problem." Jin replied before raising his palm and under Agnarr's serious and watchful eyes, a small ball of flame slowly condensed in the top of his palm, highlighting and casting shadow over their faces.

"Fascinating. You can control it?" Agnarr's face shows that he was mesmerized by the beautiful flame that is dancing on Jin's palm.

"Of course. It's quite easy if you know what you are doing." Jin answered. Mind you, he's answering based on Iroh's experience not himself. After all, he didn't have to go into a phase called Control in the power and abilities department. With his template, he won't have to worry about such things.

After a few seconds of staring at the flame, Agnarr finally snapped out and registered Jin's words in his mind.

"I guess it is my turn to fulfill the end of my deal." Agnarr closed his eyes to calm himself down and to put himself in the zone to explain. The explanation would be long, so he has to take a deep breath and make sure he won't accidentally say anything wrong and avoid making errors. This is a serious matter and he must take this with precaution and be serious about it.

"You see. We have quite a special daughter. She was born with the ability to control ice. As she grows up, her powers become uncontrollable until..." Agnarr then continued speaking Elsa's life experience and what has been happening to their family ever since they found out Elsa's magical powers.

"...And because of that, Elsa has been shutting out everyone, including her own sister. Afraid that she would inflict accidental harm on everyone in front of her." Agnarr looked away after finishing his story. Deep down, he knows that it is his fault why Elsa has become that way, she became socially inept and afraid to go out of her room and interact with others.

"You know. For being such a king of a great kingdom, you became a bad father in exchange. There are several ways to solve her problem." After hearing the story and several parts that weren't mentioned in the movie, Jin finally knows how much Elsa has suffered. So he didn't hesitate to launch several insults towards Agnarr without bothering to use sweet words. Fortunately, he took it like a man and didn't deny what he said.

"If I were in your place, I would follow the troll grandpa's advice. Instead of locking her up, you should've find ways to control her powers and not only that, you should be the one to help her control her powers, not letting her bury it until she does. Keeping something that you can't control yet would come with bad consequences. It's just like a cup being filled with water. If you put a lid into it, it would be calm for a few minutes because the water is still rising but as time goes on, the water will reach its limits and you know what will happen next?" After seeing Agnarr shake his head, Jin continued.

"It will explode! You should've taught her how to control it, not to conceal it." Jin shook his head in disappointment before his head snapped towards one of the stone pillars in the castle.

"You can come out now." After closing his eyes, Jin spoke in the air, making Agnarr confused for a few seconds before he finally noticed someone revealing herself from hiding behind the stone pillar.

"Elsa?"
