History WMG / AFrozenHeart

Instead of depicting the kingdom's royal palace as a giant ominous castle that looks like a black SeaMonster or serpent from a distance but is actually made from shiny stones, future stories can depict the Isles as a grandiose spectacle of elaborate architecture that screams "we are so much better than you" and makes Arendelle's castle look like a cottage. The kingdom itself could be fabulously wealthy, possibly even more so than Arendelle, thanks to its trade deals and the fact that many of the king's daughters-in-law are from other kingdoms. This could leave our heroes (Honeymaren, Ryder, Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Sven and Kristoff) [[GoodCannotComprehendEvil dumbstruck]] on why Hans would want to seize control of another country when he's from a place that's filthy rich.\\

However, while everything is elegant and looks beautiful on the outside, the inside is hollow and cold. Even the royal family might fake it, pretending to be a big, happy family, when in reality, they are RoyallyScrewedUp. The king's 13 sons don't get along with each other and with their own spouses, while the king of the Southern Isles is neglectful of his wife. The intense SiblingRivalry between the sons is something the heroes would consider counterproductive and unacceptable, leading to the younger sons developing a case of InferioritySuperiorityComplex, and is a big reason that the royal family has become so dysfunctional. This even extends beyond the royal family.\\

** Iduna's heritage as a member of the Northuldran tribe and why Agnarr married her despite her background. Given that King Runeard looked down at the Northuldra and probably wouldn't have accepted her as his daughter-in-law if he were to be alive, the Westergaards could make similar snobbish remarks about the sisters not being pure royal blooded.

The locals might pretend to be appreciative of the Westergaards (the Isles' royal clan), but that's just the tip of the iceberg. The culture might preach egalitarianism, but even this could be fake, as it's actually a society whose nobility holds the real power, while the lower classes might feel left out. Guards may by stationed everywhere not for the protection of the citizens, but as a quiet warning of what they can say about the royal family and to intimidate them into submission. Even the kingdom's judicial system could be described as notoriously corrupt and inefficient, with {{Kangaroo Court}}s and harsh sentences for criminals.\\

The heroes might lampshade on why they're having a hard time understanding the general cynicism and duality surrounding the Southern Isles if they decide to go there on a new adventure. Commenting on all of the places they've visited, the heroes are left shocked and outraged on how and why such a society, despite all its wealth and power, [[YourNormalIsOurTaboo could tolerate and even practice great injustices]]. The fact that the locals have chosen to accept the cynical and hypocritical nature of their culture comes at a great shock to the Arendellers. If they run into Hans, the heroes might even [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse tell]] him that while he grew up in an abusive household, he could have chosen a different path instead of letting his family issues cloud his mind. Hans being Hans, and having been taught that compassion is a weakness, he won't be able to understand what they meant, and [[InsaneTrollLogic may even think]] they are rubbing his failures in his face. Hans is also left confused as to how the sisters, Kristoff and the Northuldrans found happiness despite their humble backgrounds while he remains miserable despite coming from a country that's quite wealthy, but doesn't understand that his self-loathing and hatred prevent him from realizing what makes them happy.

** Iduna's heritage and why Agnarr would have married her despite her background. She is a member of the Northuldran tribe. Given that King Runeard was biased about the Northuldra and probably wouldn't have accepted her as his daughter-in-law if he were to be alive, the Westergaards could make similar snobbish remarks about the sisters not being pure royal blooded.

** The sisters' heritage. They are Northuldra on their mother's side.
** Kristoff's past as a Sami ice harvester who slept with a reindeer or his poverty. The king or his sons may even [[EvilCannotComprehendGood think]] he married Anna only [[GoldDigger for the riches]] and not out of true love.

** Why Arendelle is being led by women when men are the better choice.
** Like the Duke of Weselton, the Southern Islanders may be [[FantasticRacism prejudiced]] against magic-users after learning about Elsa's ice powers.

It seems most of them are violent, and none seem to be fond of him. Once the king dies or steps down, Caleb's legitimacy as heir will be challenged and before long, the kingdom will end up looking like [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire Westeros]]. As the infighting rages on, Hans will secretly offer his services to the highest bidder, [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder changing loyalties as different factions gain the upper hand]], until one of his brothers runs a sword through him. Elsa and Anna, along with the other kingdoms, will end up deploying their navies to intervene and defend their kingdoms as some of the brothers attempt to conquer nearby countries to consolidate their base. In the end, the entire Westergaard clan will end in bloodshed, the Southern Isles will be absorbed into Arendelle, and the people of the Southern Isles will enjoy a new age of peace and prosperity, heralding Elsa and Anna as the liberators who overthrew the hated Westergaard dynasty.

WordOfGod has confirmed that Hans's older brothers were NotSoDifferent from Hans, combined with the fact that the book revealed that their father has turned the Southern Isles into a corrupt and totalitarian dictatorship.

* Hans' mother, the Queen of the Southern Isles, is very much like Ursa, as both are {{Broken Bird}}s who care for their children, but are forced to see their older ones pick on their youngest siblings, and are pretty much wed to men who don't even care for them.

Since Hans was based on the mirror from ''The Snow Queen'', his father may very well be a SatanicArchetype, as he molded his 13 sons into mere reflections of himself not for their benefit, [[ItsAllAboutMe but to fuel his bloated ego.]] [[TheCorrupter He slowly corrupted]] them so they'll be forced to emulate him and [[TheDutifulSon regularly demands them]] to be obedient and perfect by subjecting them to intense emotional and physical abuse, and encouraging violence within his family as a way [[TykeBomb to indoctrinate them]] into his twisted SocialDarwinist beliefs, causing [[WellDoneSonGuy them]] to become emotionally dependent on him over time. Any son who fails to exceed or even meet the extremely cruel goals he set is forcibly toughened up, as to him, [[MeeknessIsWeakness meekness]] and [[VirtueIsWeakness kindness]] are for weaklings, traits he frequently saw in Hans. Also, it's a CrapsackWorld out there, so it's MyWayOrTheHighway and MightMakesRight, according to the king. Hans' actions in the TieInNovel are drawn from his hopeless desire to earn his father's respect, [[HiddenDepths but deep down]], he always knew the king will only ever see his sons as henchmen and a fan club.
