Elsa's Royal Guardsmen

First Day of the Job

Hal and Corteno got up early before 8 o'clock and walked up to the castle gates, ready to start their first day as the personal guards of Queen Elsa. Corteno sported a green longsword that Hal had made for him, it was indestructible. He also kept a yumi bow for ranged skirmishes and a plain hunting knife for close quarters. His armor was plain studded leather with a single multi-layered steel shoulder plate. Hal on the other hand, was a lot heavier and used a powerful two-handed Scottish Claymore. For range Hal had hidden green flechettes under his gauntlets. Hal had a strong metal plated armor set, but since he created it the armor is as light as well…light. It is made out of hard-light constructs, allowing for un-paralleled protection and speed.

Hal- "Wow…this castle is a lot bigger in person. I wonder how long it took to build this whole thing."

Corteno- "You always want to know how things are made or what makes them tick. You really need a new hobby. Maybe the Queen can pull your head out of those books you keep reading. I swear I don't know how you aren't pale white from being inside all day."

Hal- "Last time I checked, I'm the one that always charges first, and you're the tactical one."

Corteno- "Smarts over brute force bro, but yeah, I guess you're right."

Hal and Corteno knocked on the gates and the guards opened it from the inside. Hal and Corteno were rather tall and everyone in the castle stared at their glowing green armor and weapons.

Corteno- "Can't you make our armor anything other than bright green?"

Hal- "Nope, but green is the best color anyways. Why wouldn't you want to wear green?" Hal smirked.

The two warriors had reached the throne room, only to see the elegant Queen sitting on her throne with Anna by her side.

Elsa- "That sure is an interesting choice of fashion!" Elsa and Anna giggled with each other.

Hal- "Green is a very manly color you know."

Elsa- "Oh I'm sure it is." Elsa smiled.

Hal- "Do I detect a slight amount of sarcasm Your Majesty?"

Elsa straightened her face and tried to conceal her laughter.

Elsa- "Erm, no, that was the truth. Now, I'm glad you came here so early, it rare to have people arrive on time, much less before. I would like to knight you both now, but usually a King is supposed to do that."

Corteno nudged Hal in the side when she said "King".

Hal- "Oh, someone as beautiful as you can't possibly be single."

Elsa blushed and Anna let out a little squeal and whispered to Elsa.

Anna- "Elsa, this guy totally has the hots for you. I think you should try flirting with him!"

Elsa- "Anna I-I-I, I don't know how!"

Anna- "Just act natural, trust me!" Anna winked at Elsa.

Elsa- "Why, t-t-thank you, Hal. I-I-I, umm, Anna, could you please give them my schedule so they know where to accompany me?"

Anna- "Sure sis." Anna giggled as she saw Elsa's embarrassment. "Here you guys go! Elsa has a conference with Ireland in a few minutes, all you have to do is follow her and stand next to her"

Hal- "Okey dokey, sounds easy enough. So, I guess we should get going then my Queen."

Elsa- "Umm, y-yes, just a minute I'm going to go freshen up, Anna will you come with me please?"

Anna- "Yup! Let's go, we'll be right back fellas."

Corteno- "Dude, that Queen has never talked to a person, has she? She kept stuttering and stuttering. I mean jeez, maybe she was just all flustered because of you."

Hal- "Eh, I have that effect on people."

Corteno- "No you don't."

Hal and Corteno both burst out laughing.

Meanwhile, in Elsa's room…

Elsa- "Oh no, what am I going to do! I can't go to that conference being all blushed and everything!"

Anna-"Elsa calm down! Yeesh, I guess you need help with talking to Hal, I can help!"

Elsa- "What! I don't have a problem talking to him!"

Anna- "Oh really? That's not what I saw. You like him!" Anna let out a teasing laugh.

Elsa- "Well, I guess you're kinda right, but I only just met him, but he makes me so…"

"Happy?" Anna suggested.

Elsa- "Yeah, yeah he does…Anna, do you think he might be the…the one?"

Anna- "Well I'm no love expert, but yeah, I think he is, you need to ask him out."

Elsa- "Woah woah woah, slow down there, that won't happen for a while. I need to know him a bit longer first. Ok, I'm ready, let's do this thing!"

Elsa rushed out the room and Hal and Corteno walked up to her and gave her a convoy to the meeting room. The meeting went by surprisingly smoothly, despite the fact that Elsa kept glancing at Hal every moment she got.

Hal- "So that wasn't so bad, was it?"

Elsa- "No, I guess not, but since you are my personal guards now, you must live in the castle."

Corteno- "Wait what? But, all our stuff-"

Elsa- "Was moved into your new rooms. You, Corteno, have the room on the 3rd wing, 1st door. You, Hal, have the room across from mine."

Corteno smirked at Hal. Hal was quite surprised by this, but he guessed that Elsa was trying her best to get close to Hal.

Hal- "Well, that sounds great! Should be a lot better than our old cabin. Thank you your Majesty."

Elsa- "Remember it's just Elsa, no need for formalities." Elsa said with a smile.

Hal- "You have the most beautiful smile you know."

Corteno- "I'll just be going to my room, it's late."

Hal and Elsa stood there for a moment, then Hal spoke up.

Hal- "I know you like me."

Elsa's eyes went wide and her faced turned bright red.

Elsa- "I-I, umm, uh, well…yes, yes I do."

Hal- "But you would like to get to know me for a little longer first."

Elsa- "Can you read minds or something."

Hal thought to himself- "Yes, actually I can."

But instead he said- "Nope, I'm just good at reading those kinda things. I'll see you in the morning, my Queen."

Hal kneeled, took Elsa's hand, and kissed it. Elsa's face couldn't be any more crimson red.

Elsa- "G-g-g…good…night, H-Hal."

And just like that, the two went to their separate rooms and fell asleep.

Elsa thought to herself- "Oh my, that was difficult. I hope it won't always be like this…"

As our heroes drift into sleep, the Parallax entity, consumes countless planets as it heads towards Earth. The time is counting down, and when it reaches zero, will Hal have the will to stop it? We'll see next time on, Elsa's Royal Guardsmen.
