Princess Elsa<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

by AJ Marks<\/span><\/p>\n

Part 14<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Lynn stood in line waiting like so many others, wearing her cap and gown.\u00a0 She was graduating at long last.\u00a0 She had a lot of things still to do, like get a job, but today, she would celebrate a milestone her in her life, graduating college with a degree she had studied hard to earn.<\/p>\n

Minutes later they were walking into the area to sit down, they would listen to a few speakers before the diplomas would be handed out.\u00a0 Everything went as it had during rehearsal the previous evening.\u00a0 She found her chair sitting down waiting for the first speaker to start.\u00a0 There was a report of a secret speaker which she looked at the program each were given.<\/p>\n

At the end of the speakers was a guest speaker to be announced.\u00a0 She figured she would have to wait to see who it was.\u00a0 The normal speakers, a teacher and the top student, summa cum laude made a speech.\u00a0 She felt proud to be a manga cum laude after everything in her life.<\/p>\n

Now for the final speaker, and the mystery would be solved as the president of the university stepped forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s with great pleasure I introduce our last speaker, though she really needs no introduction, I am proud to introduce to you all, Princess Elsa.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lynn sat stunned even as a murmur went through the entire crowd.\u00a0 An excitement pulsed though everyone as out from behind the stage Elsa appeared.\u00a0 She had her hair in a long braid, and wore the robe of the college along with all the stripes and such of an accomplished graduate.<\/p>\n

Watching Elsa approach the podium was very different than the other times she had seen the princess.\u00a0 The way she walked, her appearance, her stance, everything screamed out someone in control.\u00a0 She was very much a princess, not someone she knew while on a vacation and relaxing, eating pizza and drinking a beer.<\/p>\n

Looking around she noticed several people had their phones out taking pictures recording the video and more.\u00a0 She looked on watching as Elsa spoke, clear and calm, speaking about the future, the past and present.\u00a0 It was a change as normally people spoke of the future, but Elsa was speaking of it all, knowing the past to know the future.<\/p>\n

Her speech wasn\u2019t long, and soon they were about to line up for their diplomas, and got another shock, Elsa would be handing them to the graduates.\u00a0 No one had been prepared for that, and Lynn was nervous as they stood and headed up.<\/p>\n

Elsa greeted each one with a smile even as Lynn approached, wiping her hands on her robe feeling as nervous as everyone else.\u00a0 She heard a few whispers, one girl hoped she wouldn\u2019t faint.\u00a0 The line closed and she thought she noticed Elsa look over at her a few times between names.<\/p>\n

\u201cLynn Sauer, magna cum laude.\u201d<\/p>\n

She stepped forward as Elsa grinned at her.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations Lynn,\u201d Elsa said handing her the diploma, their fingers touching slightly before shaking hands.\u00a0 Part her Lynn wanted to just hug her, but knew she couldn\u2019t right here and with a wink moved on to the other professors waiting and President of the college as the next person\u2019s name was announced.<\/p>\n

Making her way back to her seat she listed to the excited voices around her.<\/p>\n

\u201cWish I was a prince,\u201d one guy said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s even cuter in person,\u201d another said as Lynn felt a bump to her ribs and turned to look at the person next to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis beats my sister, she met Camillia Stone at her graduation,\u201d he said with a grin.\u00a0 \u201cAnd I shook her hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lynn forced a smile wondering what he might say if he knew Lynn had touched more, like in a hot tub.\u00a0 Pushing those thoughts from her mind she concentrated on the rest of the ceremony.<\/p>\n

Finally it was over with the tossing of caps as Lynn made her way to where her friends were waiting.\u00a0 They had come to be her family, not knowing that the presence of Elia meant so much more.<\/p>\n

\u201cWow,\u201d Hans said, \u201cthat was a surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, the princess, can\u2019t believe it, so glad I went,\u201d Brea said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd to think, I almost missed it,\u201d Jessica said as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Lynn is all grown up,\u201d Hans said, wiping an imaginary tear from his eye.<\/p>\n

\u201cTime really does fly,\u201d Jessica said getting into the act.<\/p>\n

Lynn rolled her eyes at that.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, how does the job search go?\u2019 Hans asked as they started walking along.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot good, can\u2019t find anything,\u201d Lynn replied back, stopping slightly upon seeing someone else come walking up to her, Kris.\u00a0 \u201cGreat.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, well, I see you\u2019ve managed to graduate,\u201d Kris said walking up along with a few others she had around her like always.<\/p>\n

\u201cKris, we\u2019re done, though, I\u2019m not coming back to you,\u201d Lynn said.\u00a0 She looked on seeing that Kris was beautiful, which was what attracted Lynn to her in the first place.\u00a0 Stunning brown eyes, and kept her hair looking good at all times, but now, Lynn had a better looking girlfriend.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh,\u201d Kris said.\u00a0 \u201cYou are destined to be mine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I don\u2019t think so, you don\u2019t own me,\u201d Lynn replied back feeling her anger start to rise.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think you\u2019ll reconsider, if you want a decent job, I hold a lot of power,\u201d Kris said giving her a smile which never reached her eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve been sabotaging me?\u201d Lynn said, getting angrier.\u00a0 \u201cYou are a bitch.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, you don\u2019t want to cause a scene,\u201d Kris stated in a sickly sweet voice.<\/p>\n

\u201cInteresting,\u201d a new voice said, as Lynn looked over to see two familiar people standing there.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019d be careful if I was you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMarshmallow!\u201d Brea squealed quickly giving him a hug.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrea,\u201d he said, giving her a hug back as Lynn finally recognized them.\u00a0 They had helped her move, Marshmallow and Olaf friends of Kristoff and Anna.<\/p>\n

Kris appeared to want to argue, but turned in a huff and walked off.\u00a0 Lynn understood why,\u00a0 the two were an unknown and Kris didn\u2019t like to confront unknowns until she had more information Kris shared only made her wonder how to combat her.<\/p>\n

\u201cCome on, let\u2019s party,\u201d Hans said.\u00a0 She allowed herself to be dragged off.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t worry, we heard it all,\u201d Olaf said, \u201cI think the playing field can be evened.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lynn wasn\u2019t too sure about that but decided to not push her luck.<\/p>\n

*****<\/p>\n

Elsa paced around the room a bit after learning from Kristoff what Olaf and Marshmallow had overheard by Lynn\u2019s ex.\u00a0 Kris it appeared had been working to stop Lynn from getting a job.\u00a0 Now Elsa wondered what she might be able to do, stopping in her pacing.<\/p>\n

She left the room and headed down though the palace towards an area she never visited and past several stunned people as she entered the museum part of the palace quickly looking for the person in charge.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrincess,\u201d he said, looking around a bit.\u00a0 \u201cUm, is there something I missed or forgot?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, no, I was wondering about something,\u201d Elsa said not suddenly feeling slightly embarrassed for the rush.\u00a0 \u201cI was wondering, you had an open position in the museum?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, we are looking for someone to help with exhibits, served as an assistant to me,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you have someone named Lynn Sauer apply?\u201d Elsa asked, knowing this was slightly abusing her position but went ahead anyways.<\/p>\n

\u201cSauer,\u201d he said, pausing in thought, rubbing his chin.\u00a0 \u201cThe name sounds familiar to me, let me look.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsa waited a few seconds as he picked up his tablet and flipped though several screens before looking up.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes,\u201d he said, now suddenly nervous.<\/p>\n

\u201cWere you told not to hire her?\u201d Elsa asked, watching him sweat slightly as his shoulders dropped.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did get some pressure from Senator Brown\u2019s office over her,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs she qualified?\u201d Elsa asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, what I was looking for,\u201d he replied.\u00a0 \u201cBut I don\u2019t want a political battle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI will only say, if you allow the senator to make up your mind, it will anger the throne,\u201d Elsa said to him.<\/p>\n

\u201cAh, I see,\u201d he said taking a second to wipe his forehead.\u00a0 \u201cPerhaps an interview.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf she is qualified, and you like her, don\u2019t worry about the senator, I\u2019ll handle him,\u201d Elsa stated, then turned and walked back off hoping she did the right thing.<\/p>\n

*****<\/p>\n

Lynn sat at the large table signing several documents.\u00a0 It had been a few days since her graduation and now she would receive her inheritance from her parents.\u00a0 Things were looking up, especially considering she had finally gotten an interview with the palace museum, an unexpected call after being told no at first.<\/p>\n

Looking across the table she saw, for perhaps the second time, her uncle.\u00a0 He was taller than she expected, over six feet tall, in good shape for being in his fifties and black hair like hers.\u00a0 He was accompanied with several others, all looking like typical thug bodyguards and felt sure that they were all armed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, that about does it,\u201d the lawyer said, making a few more notations.\u00a0 \u201cJust sign this last one here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lynn signed it, watching as the notaries signed as did her uncle.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll right,\u201d he said, turning a tablet towards her.\u00a0 \u201cPick a login ID and password and we\u2019ll be done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lynn looked around, and finally chose, entering the letters, number and symbols watching as it log her in to her account.\u00a0 There really wasn\u2019t much, but it would help her get started after college, that much was for sure.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll right, that\u2019s everything,\u201d the lawyer said, wrapping everything up and standing along with the notaries, who left the room.\u00a0 \u201cMiss Sauer, it was a pleasure working with you despite the circumstances, Mr. Trezety.\u201d<\/p>\n

She watched as her uncle nodded the lawyer\u2019s way as she stood as well, ready to leave the room.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne minute,\u201d her uncle said to her as everyone not associated with him left the room making Lynn slightly nervous.<\/p>\n

She watched as he nodded and the others left the room and he pulled out a slightly spherical object and placed it on the table.\u00a0 It glowed slightly and hummed before settling in on a slight buzz, no louder than an engine on a shuttle.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn anti-bug devise,\u201d he said to her, standing as well and walking over to her.\u00a0 She was ready for anything, except for the hug he gave her.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m so very proud of you, and I know your mother would be as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lynn backed up slightly unsure what was going on as she looked at him.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou probably hate me, or at the least despise me,\u201d he said to her.\u00a0 \u201cI will say, I do deserve that, but it was also my idea.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now she frowned.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe path my life took isn\u2019t one for you, or your mother.\u00a0 She met a great guy in your father,\u201d he said now pacing the room slightly as he continued to speak.\u00a0 \u201cThere was no rift, no hatred, all manufactured to protect her and you.\u00a0 Ruth was always so innocent, willing to help others, please others, she would have been eaten alive in my world, so I protected her from it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBy ignoring us?\u201d Lynn asked, confused.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, she also knew the law, and if anything happened to them I would only take care of the money.\u00a0 If you were still underage you would have gone to a foster parents, I would give them a small amount to help raise you.\u00a0 If you were over eighteen, you had to get your degree, something your parents stressed, neither of them did that, nor did I.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lynn felt her world go upside down a bit at the words.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter this, I will have no communication with you, though I think it will help your chances with a certain princess,\u201d he said to her.\u00a0 \u201cKnow this, I will always be proud of you, and I do watch you from a distance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lynn was still too much in shock over the words as he gave her another hug, slightly kissed her cheek, wished her the best, picked up the spherical devise and walked out of the room as if nothing had been said.<\/p>\n

Blinking she realized she was crying and quickly wiped her eyes and taking a moment to compose herself.\u00a0 She had not expected to hear all of that, nor the words that he actually love her and did everything to protect her.\u00a0 It all seemed like a waste to her before she cursed what he did for a living.\u00a0 He had to be a criminal, and one of the most powerful in the empire.<\/p>\n

Heading out of the room she had a future to live, and an interview to take.<\/p>\n
