Come here to request an audience with one of the royal highnesses. Your request may take time. Be patient. When the King or Queen does arrive, state who you are and what you wish for.
Sometimes, you may already find someone of the court here.
The throne room is a large, open area. A white carpet leads to two thrones, both made of ice. One is much larger, the kings. Both have details of snowflakes. Next to the queens smaller throne, a small iron tube sticks out of the ground, meant to hold her Frostbite Staff. Large windows frame either side of the room, adorned with heavy curtains of ivory. Although the room seems cold and uninviting, the queen seems to warm it with her presence.

The queen sat upon her throne of ice. Few knew of it's real matter, most thinking it was just a beautiful stone throne. Letting the smallest of sighs escape her small, delicate mouth her long fingers reached out towards her Frostbite staff, held securly in the floor by a small iron tube. Touching the outline of a snowflake lightly, golden eyes darted towards the chambers heavy door. It had quite some time since the King had joined her. Suddenly, her two pet doves swarmed around her delicate, auburn hair.
"Oh Flora, oh Nyx. How art my fair creatures?"
The tiny twin creatures settled upon her shoulders, nipping affectionately upon the queen's ears. Letting out a light laugh, she softly rubbed eachs head. Nyx moved upon her hand and the queen held her out before her face. The larger of the two birds dropped a small branch of berries into her lap.

The Lady Honey enters and lowers herself into a gracefully curtsy to the queen. Rising slowly, eyes dart towards the berry branch in the young queen's lap.
"Did your creature's find fresh greens?"

The queen raises an elegant hand to silence Lady Honey. The lady in waiting understands and bows to the queen, quietly exiting the throne room, never once turning her back to her cousin.
The young highness sighs quietly and glances towards the nearest window, watching snow fall slowly and with a haunting beauty to the ground.

The King enters the throne room and walks up to the two chairs that are set highest in the room. An elegant figure sits in one wearing an elegant white dress. He takes a seat in the empty one. His demeanor ice cold.
"My queen, why are you not enjoying the company?"

Her green eyes glow with a cool happiness. She adjusted her gowns in the lower of the two thrones and watched the king ascend onto his throne.
"I was waiting for you, my king. Lady Honey was just asking me about my doves, again. I know she is my cousin... I just didn't want her company."
She looks to him, wishful and hopeful.

He looks into her green eyes and takes her hand smiling.
"I understand, how are your doves and you, my queen how are you doing?"
He squeezes her hand gently and kisses it.

She lets a small gasp of pleasure escape her puckered lips as the king kisses her hand. Her two doves flutter around the couple, singing a small praise.
"My darlings are fine, they were gone much longer, almost a month's time but they found some green. I shall add it to me collection..."
Shivering slightly, she fingers her staff, tracing the outline of the snowflake.
"How are you, my king?"
Cocking her head towards him, an innocent look creeps across her delicate, fair features. She lived for this man and her kingdom, but the ice was slowly starting to creep into her emotions and soon it was envelope her heart.

"Whatever for?"
She sighed deeply, shifting in her throne. The folds of her gown moved in a way, falling away from her feet, showing her snowy white legs. Heat moved into her face as she quickly repositioned her gown, covering herself. Innocence and shame for her body, whatever part, were the only things she carried on from childhood. It was one reason why there wasn't an heir to the throne yet. The evil king she had banished before her current had tried with many vain attempts to take it from her, but a child bore of good and of evil would never survive in her kingdom. Holding up her free hand, the smallest of her doves settled on her fingers, nipping lovingly at the fur of the queen's glove.

"You look like you haven't been feeling well lately. Is there something wrong?"
-he takes her hand and holds it tight against him-

She clasp her free hand onto his and squeezes, now looking directly at him.
"Just nightmares from the battle... I know it was well over a year ago... but... I killed him. I didn't want too... And now... I don't feel like I'll ever be warm. I haven't felt warmth below my face since then. You're the only one who's brought warmth to my cheeks since then!"
The tears now fall down her face, staining her cheeks with tiny icicles and added snowflakes to her lashes. Her green eyes were starting to turn to a clear blue, sadness filling her inside.

He brings her close to him and hugs her close.
"I know my love, I know how you feel. I also know that you had to do what was right. Although it did take away his life. My Queen do you want to go back to our room?"

She sniffles like a child and shakes her head silently. Slowly, she rises, skirt flowing around her body like a cloud. Stepping down from the thrones, she bows to the king, as custom. Her hair, pilled on her head in curls, fell forward slowly, being held up by her crown of ice. She was waiting for him to rise and lead her from the throne room and to the royal chambers.
