In One Day, I Promise (Legolas FanFic)

14. The Kings 'Lover'

Heeeeellllooooo guys, so, can anyone believe that I am at chapter 14 already!? I know I can't!!! XD

Oh, and well done to Promise1982 for finding the correct quote, there was also one more, and it was "Not unless we walk 200 miles North. Or twice that distance South." which is said by Gandalf as they enter into the forest.

Enjoy chapter 14 :D

*The Evening Of Arrival*

"So, your name is Erynriel?" 

King Thranduil stood, well, sat before me, with one leg over the side of his thrown. He bore a crown made of twigs it looked like, with leaves entwined between the twigs. He wore a magnificent gown, that fell to his feet. It was silver, with gold seams running through it that, when a tiny bit of sunlight caught it, the gold shimmered like leaves on a summer eve.

I watched, as Legolas stood besides his father, with a smile on his face. I smiled nervously. I hated being 'interrogated' like this, it made me uneasy.

"Yes, my name is Erynriel, I am from- urm- well, I was brought up in Bree with my mother, my mother... Brianna?" it came out as more of a question and I saw Legolas role his eyes. I am a good liar really. King Thranduil didn't seem to buy it.

"So, an Elf with a name of 'Forest Princess' was raised in a city such as Bree?" He questioned, and I realised that my future relied on how much I could lie convisingly. I decided to admit I'd lied.

"No, that's a cover up story, I am really-" I moved in closer and he seemed to be buying it.

"- from Helm's Deep, I was brought up as a refuge, my mother was in Edhelion." I leaned back, and he bowed his head.

"Edhelion was a rough time, I offer you a place in Mirkwood, which is where I feel you belong." I bowed, trying to look convincing.

"Thank you, my king." Legolas was shaking his head, but smiling at the same time.

What? 

Nothing, just remind me to never believe you again.

I smirked at Legolas, and I saw a door creak open behind the king. I looked, as a young elleth came in. Older than me, but younger than the king, and she had long wavy brown hair, and she wore a long gown that looked more like a kings gown.

"Thranduil?" She came in and perched on the edge of the thrown, much to my utter astonishment. Legolas' jaw dropped, and he quickly closed it and looked ahead, not looking at the girl.

"Deilelleth, I am a little busy at the moment, meet me near my room." He stated, awkwardly looking around. The woman got up, and kissed his cheek. 

"Alright, but don't keep me waiting." She seductively sauntered out, and the door snapped shut. My eyes widened, and I had to try and not laugh. That must've been his, um, well. It could've been his girlfriend, or, a 'hired' person as it where. There was now a silence, and I sat there.

Who the hell was that?

I smiled, as Legolas' face was a picture. He looked in shock, and anger, and complete bewilderment at the same time. Classic

I have no idea.

Well, maybe you should have an ickle talk with ada later?

He glared playfully at me, and I stuck my tongue out at him.

Suddenly, the door flew open again, and the same girl came in again. She walked up to the King and spoke loudly.

"Who is this girl, is she a new housemaid?" Legolas tensed, and my blood boiled. How dare she? I stood up, not speaking, but put on my best 'poker face'. This little slag wasn't going to humiliate me. Thranduil hastily spoke.

"No, she is a new Elf to Mirkwood, not a housemaid, why don't you go now, I'll be there very soon." He tried to usher her away, but instead, she walked up to me and looked at me. I tensed up, as she circled around me, examining me.

"Well, with the dress she's wearing I thought she was. Not very flattering at all. She must be a servant then?" I was literally gob-smacked. I can't actually believe she dare speak to me like this- and worse- the king lets her? When the King only looked on awkwardly, I spoke up.

"Well, this is my best dress! It was given to me by someone very kind and dear to me." Ispoke loudly, and the people in Thranduil's Hall all started watching, now intrigued.

"Honey, your dog doesn't count as someone very kind and dear to you." My heart lurched, and the red mist descended. The insult didn't make sense, but if she's going to make comments like that then she is going to get a gob full. And I can argue for Middle-Earth.

"Yeah, well, if a dog gave it to me, then why didn't you give it to me?" I asked, with the same patronizing tone she had given to me. She stopped, and glared at me. I refused to back down, and so she came closer, anger now embedded on her face.

"I have something, the king, and unlike you who, only has a flat chest and matted hair, I actually have a chance in life so I advise you shut you face and stop getting smart with me." This was actually really annoying now, and hurtful. 

I moved closer to her, and felt my blood really boil.

"You are mistaken, being the kings prostitute is not the same as being his lover, and anyways, I am pretty sure the king can do a lot better than a slutty, selfish slag like yourself!" I shouted, and she stepped away slightly, whilst Thranduil stared at me in utter horror. 

"So, stop saying horrible things to me, and eca, mitta lambetya cendelesse orcova!" I spat, before turing around and storming out of the hall. I heard the girl screaming insults at me, so I stuck my middle finger up at her over my head, and I heard Thranduil speaking quickly to Legolas.

"Erynriel, come back!" I heard Legolas plead, but I ignored him and continued walking.

Thranduil shouted across at me, but I kept walking.

"This is very inappropriate, if you apologize to Deilelleth, I will forgive you!" I stopped dead, and swiftly turned around. I knew I shouldn't speak like this, but the injustice of the situation was agonizingly annoying. 

"King Thranduil, I am an elf, an since a very young age, I have told myself I wouldn't lie. If I apologized to her, I would be apologizing for telling the truth." And with that last insult, I flung the doors open and stormed off.

OMG She is such a little bitch (excuse my French!)!

I thouroughly enjoyed writing this chapter, with all the arguements and stuff, and I hope you can al imagaine the look on Legolas' face when she walks in! :D

Anyways-

Eca, mitta lambetya cendelesse orcova- Go French-Kiss an orc- Literally means if translated- Be gone, insert your tongue in the Orc's face. (I know, disgusting.)

Ickle for anyone wonderering, is often used as a patronising comment and it means 'little'.

ada- daddy (would be used by a small child)

Oh and one last thing, Edhelion is a battle in LOTRO (Lord Of The Rings Online) when a dwarf named Skorgrim Dourhand attacks a place called The Refuge Of Edhelion and destroys it, whilst after some ancient Elvish relics. I worked out that she would've been 33 at the time Edhelion was destroyed, because in the game it's roughly 600 years from the time of The War Of The Ring.

Here comes the usual :3
