**Chapter 10: A Few Months Later**

The months following Elsa's coronation had been a blur of activity for Iduna. She had thrown herself into her royal duties, helping Elsa navigate the complexities of ruling Arendelle. Iduna's brown hair was still done up in a coronet braid, a reminder of her life with Agnarr, but she had begun to find a new sense of purpose in her role as queen mother. As she walked through the palace gardens, Iduna couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia wash over her. The sun was shining, and the flowers were in bloom, but she couldn't shake the feeling of sadness that had been following her since Agnarr's death. It had been a few months now, and while the pain was still there, it was no longer overwhelming. Iduna took a deep breath, letting the cool spring air fill her lungs. She had been spending a lot of time with her daughters, enjoying quiet moments and helping with royal duties. Elsa was thriving as queen, and Anna was her usual energetic self, always getting into mischief. Iduna smiled, thinking about the two of them. As she turned a corner, Iduna came across Anna, who was sitting on a bench, reading a book. "Mother, come sit with me," Anna said, looking up from her book. Iduna sat down beside her daughter, and they chatted for a while about their day. Iduna realized that she had been so caught up in her own grief that she hadn't taken the time to really connect with her daughters. She made a mental note to spend more quality time with them, to help her heal and to be there for them. The rest of the day passed quietly, with Iduna attending to her duties and spending time with her daughters. As the sun began to set, Iduna felt a sense of peace wash over her. She knew that she still had a long way to go in terms of healing, but for the first time in months, she felt like she was taking steps in the right direction. As she lay in bed that night, Iduna couldn't help but think about the future. She knew that she would always carry Agnarr's memory with her, but she also knew that she had to move forward. For herself, for Elsa, and for Anna, she had to find a way to heal and to be happy again. The next few days passed in a similar vein, with Iduna settling into a new routine. She spent her days attending to her duties, spending time with her daughters, and trying to find a new sense of purpose. It wasn't easy, but with each passing day, Iduna felt like she was getting a little bit stronger. As she looked in the mirror one morning, Iduna caught a glimpse of herself, her brown hair still done up in a coronet braid. She smiled, feeling a sense of determination. She was going to get through this, she was going to find a way to heal and to be happy again. And she was going to do it with her daughters by her side. Iduna took a deep breath, feeling a sense of resolve wash over her. She was ready to face whatever the future held, as long as she had Elsa and Anna with her. She knew that it wouldn't be easy, but she was ready to take on the challenge. The palace was quiet, the only sound the distant chirping of birds outside the windows. Iduna smiled, feeling a sense of peace wash over her. This was a new beginning, a chance for her to rediscover herself and to find a new sense of purpose. And she was ready to take it.
