[In a way, it's better to tell someone like Varian this instead of someone else from home. He's a kid, he's worrying about his own goodness in a way Elsa struggled with for years... she has less to fear from his judgement than, say, Salieri or Discord. Adults tend to bring up more... complicated feelings on things like this.]

I did, yes. Anna helped me figure out the key to calming my magic, and we were able to banish the curse and return Arendelle to summer. But not before a group of ambassadors who had been in the kingdom for my coronation agreed that I should be executed for treason.

[Executed. It's.... one of the first times she's really said that out loud. She doesn't like talking about it, and she's seen the hurt, horrified looks on Anna's face the few times she's brought it up since that day.]

They'd tried to paint me as a monster, something that had to be chained up and put to the sword. But I was just scared, terrified of hurting people more than I already had. So... so something like what you've seen... perhaps there's more to it. And perhaps things will work out in the end.
