"So, El almost got into danger, right?"
After finishing the meal, Queen Iduna returned to the bedroom with Elsa.
Elsa had already learned everything that had happened after she fell unconscious and was now speaking with a sense of guilt.
"No! It was just an accident."
Queen Iduna looked at Elsa with a heart full of worry, unsure of what to do.
"Alright, Mom, I'd like to be alone for a while."
Elsa had regained her composure and said to Queen Iduna.
"Alright, alright, I'll leave now."
Queen Iduna quickly left the room, worried she might do something, and closed the door behind her.
Once Queen Iduna was gone, Elsa couldn't hold it in anymore.
She hid on the bed, looked at Anna, who was still unconscious, and gently touched her face with tears that began to flow once again.
...
"Elijah, El, come here quickly!"
Just freed from King Agnarr, El was walking toward Elsa's room when he suddenly heard Queen Iduna calling him.
King Agnarr didn't say much, only a few words about urging him to practice diligently, and then he let him go.
As soon as they parted ways, El immediately headed toward Elsa's room.
He knew he needed to pay attention to the situation with Elsa and Anna—not just because it was part of his quest but also because he cared about them.
Surprisingly, El ran into Queen Iduna on the way.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
El asked when seeing the worried look on Queen Iduna's face.
"Right now, you're the only one who can help. Elsa is counting on you..."
...
As he walked toward Elsa's room, Elijah felt a bit overwhelmed. Elsa's situation was much more serious than he had imagined.
Even her mother had been asked to leave.
"I've already said I want to be alone, don't come in."
He heard a voice tinged with tears as he pushed open the door to Elsa's room. It seemed that a servant had already come in earlier and had been sent away.
Hearing the voice filled with sadness, El felt a twinge of sympathy. The usually cheerful little girl was now in such a state.
Without answering, El closed the door and walked in.
It seemed that Elsa thought the servant had already left, and she didn't try to hold back her tears anymore.
"I told you... you..."
Elsa heard footsteps and sensed someone approaching. She quickly stopped crying, ready to say something, but then her eyes met Elijah's.
"Don't come closer, I don't want to, I don't want to hurt you anymore."
As El was about to step closer, Elsa quickly stopped him, and her emotions started getting out of control.
He could feel that her magical energy was very unstable at the moment, but he didn't step back. He paused for a moment, made a decision in his heart, and continued to move forward.
It's important to note that in the original plot, she had locked away herself, and her childhood became lonely.
If it weren't for the love of her younger sister Anna in the end, Elsa would have likely become bitter and lost, developing a terrifying mental illness.
This was something that had already been shown to the audience in the movie Frozen 1.
If he wanted to change everything, Elijah needed to warm Elsa's heart with care before it was too late.
After all, she hadn't heard the Troll King's words yet, and she wasn't so afraid of or disgusted by magic.
Therefore, he decided it was still not too late to change things. He took a step forward, moving closer.
"Don't come closer!"
Seeing him approach, Elsa's emotions became unstable again, and sure enough, her magic slipped out of control once more.
However, the ice magic that had just been released all flew toward him without causing even a splash.
"What?!"
Elsa was a bit surprised. She had already been too scared to look, but to her surprise, El was completely unharmed, which left her momentarily stunned.
Seizing this opportunity, El quickly stepped forward and embraced her in his arms.
"Let go of me!"
After reacting, Elsa's face turned red, and she tried to struggle.
"Don't move. Haven't you noticed? I can suppress your out-of-control magic."
Seeing Elsa trying to struggle, El quickly tightened his embrace and spoke out.
"Huh?! Why?"
She took a moment to feel it, and the ice magic inside her had calmed down.
She was a bit surprised. Since the moment she woke up this morning, she had felt her ice magic was unstable, but now, it had... stabilized.
EAl looked at her shocked expression and gave her a slight smile.
He hadn't expected the "Magic Devourer" skill to be so useful, directly absorbing Elsa's magic.
As for why Elsa's magic had calmed down, El was actually quite surprised too. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood that his current magic was a combination of his and Elsa's.
Theoretically, the nature of their combined magic made him a higher level while Elsa's magic had become of a lower level.
So, when El got closer to Elsa, her magic sensed his much stronger power, and it had no choice but to calm down.
"I don't really know why either, but what matters is—you can't hurt me anymore, okay?"
He said softly to Elsa.
"Mm!"
Seeing that Elijah wasn't saying anything further, Elsa didn't ask more questions.
To be honest, Elsa felt quite happy inside. She had been so worried that her magic would stay out of control and that she would end up alone.
That's why she had been unable to stop herself from crying because she didn't want to be separated from her parents and didn't want to be apart from her siblings.
Now, at least El wouldn't leave her. That thought made Elsa feel a little more comfort in her heart.
Elsa was so preoccupied that she forgot that El was still hugging her.
Seeing a smile appear on Elsa's face, El truly felt happy. It seemed that Elsa wouldn't be closing her heart off like she did before—and that was a really good thing.
At that moment, Anna, sleeping nearby, slightly moved her eyelashes, but Elijah didn't notice.
