My beloved elf

Chapter 15 - Take me away from here

-Maybe we should go- Legolas whispers passing his fingers through the girl's long hair. After two hours between the sheet talking, Kayla's stomach begins to grumble forcefully and Legolas notices that.

-Mhhh, no- she says as she squeezes herself to the body next to hers. -I'm good right here-

-Your stomach says the opposite- he jokes laughing after the umpteenth rumble and quickly moves his fingers on her hips to tickle her. The girl gets up laughing and gets on her knees on the mattress carrying with her the sheet to cover herself.

-Let's go eat something- the elf smiles at her while he sits back to the headboard of the bed. He reaches out to the girl's thigh and gently stroke her skin with his fingers.

Kayla looks at his fingers then looks up again and smiles at him. - I have never talked about the future because we...Unfortunately, we have some heavy names on our shoulders, I wanted to live the moment but... After what we've done, I wish I had some certainty...- she ends me with a blushing whisper.

The elf caresses her neck and brings her closer to him. -I know, I... I'd like to say I'm sorry I took away what a husband should have on his wedding night, I wish I could say no to you so you wouldn't have any trouble but I can't... I want to give you certainty- he smiles. -I can promise you that as long as you stay with me I will go against everyone for you-

-Even against your best friend?-

-I honestly don't know how he'll react...- he sighs and looks down.

-Maybe for once he'll surprise me and he will be on our side!- chuckle the girl. -Tell me about some adventures you two have faced together-

-Maybe some other time...-

-Is there something wrong? Is something I said?- she asks the elf who changed his mood in one second.

-No nothing...-

-In fact, if I don't eat soon, I might pass out- Kayla smiles and tries to change the subject then gets out of bed and starts dressing followed by Legolas.

-Can I help you with your dress, Princess...?- after putting on his pants he approaches the girl and takes her hands trying to fasten the ribbon of the dress.

-Thank you so much, Your Highness- she jokes, she's got her hands back in front of her to fix the folds.

After finishing with her dress, the blond puts a kiss on her neck and moves to finish putting on his clothes.

After a few minutes, both are ready and leave the room quiet and careful as two thieves.

After pillaging the kitchen they start to eat in one of the smaller dining rooms of the building.

-Ehi! I finally found you little sis!- Eldarioin enters quickly.

-Do you still need me? You know that I hate all the politics, you can't do without me?- she asks while snorting then she smiles at Legolas who returns.

-Yes yes don't worry, no politics... more or less...- he gives a quick look and not very happy to Legolas who greets him with a nod. -I found two boys who are up to the standards of a princess, with the one you are going to dinner tonight, and with the other, you are going to breakfast tomorrow morning-

Kayla looks at him confused for a moment, then shakes her head. -No, absolutely no-

-There is no, no answer-

-I told you I can make my own- she says unhappy returning to watch his plate this time without hunger.

-Yes? And how? Sleeping with dad's best friend?!-

Silence takes possession of the room. Only after a couple of minutes and several glances, Legolas speaks.

-I can... We can explain- he gets up from the table and walks a few steps closer to Eldarion.

-I don't care about your excuses- he cuts the conversation short and gives him an icy look.

-Why? Do you just think about how angry dad can be? Don't you think that maybe I actually like Legolas? Why I can't... Oh god! Why can't I do what I want? Why can't I follow what I feel?! You and dad are the same! What's missing in Legolas that someone else can have? He's a prince, Did likes him, you like him and even more importantly I like him! I feel good with him, he's nice, sweet, he cares what I think and what I want, he takes care of me and cares for me! What more do you want?!-

-Sister...-

-No! I don't care anymore about what you have to say...- she gets up too and she rushes out of the room.

The remaining two boys look at each other for some minutes, Eldarion moves to follow her but the elf intercepts him. -No I go- then he goes out to follow her.

...

-Kayla...- whispers Legolas as he sits next to her on the bench in front of the pond. The girl does not answer, just lowers her head and closes her eyes trying to hold back the tears.

-Dad and Eldarion don't... I don't want what they want and I often argue about it... but they always win, you have to do everything you need for the kingdom, for the people, for peace, for everyone... for everything... but never what I really want.-

-Your mother told me how much you argue with them about your differences of thought-

-My mother... she just tries to calm us down and sometimes find a middle way that for some strange magic becomes always and only in favor of my father...- she smiles sadly.

-What can I do to make you feel better right now? - asks the elf gently as he caresses her back.

-Take me away from here-

-I can't-

-Why? - asks the elf that looks away.

-It's more complicated than that, I can't just take you away and your dad what...-

-Oh that's the problem! - she interrupts him.

-No I do not...-

-Just now you told me that you would stand against everyone but look when it comes to my father you can not do it right?! -

-It's not just about your father-

-no?! And what is it?! -

-It's about not acting like children and running away-

-You know what? Do whatever you want! - she gets up and leaves.

-Kayla-Kayla...-

-Go find yourself an adult to talk to I'm just a child yes? - whispers bad and ironic the girl then leaves leaving only Legolas.
