Hans left Anna and went to the council chamber where the Dukeand other dignitaries were gathered. "It's getting colder by theminute," the Duke said.

"Forget starving;we'll soon freeze to death."

Hans fell into achair, looking weak and grief-stricken.

"PrinceHans!" a dignitary said, reaching out to him gently.

Hans lowered his headand chuckled to himself. He had sat down on the throne. His plan was movingalong perfectly. Pretending to be full of remorse, Hans said, "PrincessAnna is... dead."

"What?" theother men exclaimed.

"How could thishappen?" one of the dignitaries asked.

Hans shook his headslowly. "She was killed by Queen Elsa."

"No!" theDuke shouted.

With his head in hishands, Hans played the part of a grieving man. "We said our weddingvows... before she died in my arms."

"There can be nodoubt now," the Duke declared. "Queen Elsa is a monster!"

"PrinceHans," stated one of the dignitaries. "Arendelle looks to you."

Hans nodded grimly,but he was secretly elated. Never in his wildest dreams could he haveplotted his ascent to the throne so gloriously. "With a heavy heart, Icharge Queen Elsa with treason and sentence her to death," he declared.

In her dungeon cell,Elsa stood by the window. The snow was cascading down heavily. She wonderedwhere Anna was at that moment. Anna would never be able to survive this storm.

Maybe I am a monster,she thought. Hans's words haunted her. Her powers had done nothing but causegreat trouble for the kingdom.

Elsa knew that she hadto leave Arendelle so she wouldn't do any more harm. As her eyes welled up withtears, she looked down at her shackles. They were completely frozen, andsuddenly, they broke open. Then, with a thunderous crash, ice broke through thedungeon walls, splitting them apart as Elsa's emotions overwhelmed hermind and heart. Realizing she could escape, Elsa hurried through the gapinghole in the wall.

Hans heard the noiseand ran down to the dungeon. The Duke and his guards were already there.

"Whathappened?" Hans asked.

"The queen hasescaped," the Duke replied, gazing through the opening in the wall.
