[Most people aren't born with some great power that they come to fear for years, neither study and learn about politics and history as part of preparation to rule a country. And she knows it well, she could have handled things different in the coronation, she could have hold her ground, retaliate at the accusations of sorcery. That was her kingdom, her castle and no foreigner had any right to chase her as if she was some animal.
It wouldn't have been pretty. She would have had to fight, to use her power and hurt people in order to impose herself. She could have done it, but what then? For how long could she rule Arendelle by fear? Not very long once word got out, and it would, there were too many people in that ball, too many countries that wouldn't take lightly her actions. Even without those things, it wasn't just a matter of power, she had the power to do that, sure, but she didn't have the heart for it. All she had wanted was to be free, to not live in fear, and that wouldn't have given her that.]
Some people take a lifetime to learn most basic lessons. And even among those that learn them, they may not understand them well. Some people would agree on the value and importance of allies, but they would regard them simply as tools, choosing them selectively for who suits their needs better.
I suppose not everyone can just understand- Eh?
[She halts, slightly taken aback by the gesture. Her eyes first fall to the ground, but upon not seeing anything she looks back to him finally understanding the situation. She steps back carefully, slowly, hands raised as she raises her guard, keeping her eyes open for anything that may come.]
