The Light Kingdom

Chapter 11:~The feast~

"How do you feel, ion nín?,"Thranduil asked his son.
"I'm fine, adar,"Legolas explained,
"I just hope I'll never endure torture like that again,"
And suddenly, Elora entered the hall in a white light blue long dress.

Silvery diamond earrings

And a silvery diamond elf necklace that had belonged to her mother.

And a silvery tiara with diamonds

And a pair of silver ballerina shoes.

And a man entered the hall. And Legolas swallowed.
"Legolas, what is it, my son?,"Thranduil asked.
"That's Livia's closest man," Legolas explained,
"He was there when they tortured me,"
And Aragorn nodded at his guards, but Elora shook her head at him, and they guards stepped down.

Elora went over to North.
"Your Highness,"North addressed her,
"Congratulations on your victory against Livia,"
"Oh, I couldn't have saved my brother without you North,"Elora said with a faked smile,
"Your information how to get into the castle played a important role,"
"Cleary she underestimated you,"North complemented.
"She certainly did!,"Elora said angrily,
"Kidnapping my brother!? Blackmailing my father!? Tell me why I shouldn't have you killed!?,"
"Because you used me and you got what you wanted,"North explained,
"Whatever punishment you seek, will I face in The Dark Kingdom when I'm caught before my very angry Queen. But I'm not here to argue with you, I've come to offer you a deal,"
And he held out a contract,
"All she asks is that you sign away your claim to The Light Kingdom's throne and Livia promises she will never disturb you again and insisted you become her successor,"
And Elora looked at him angrily,
"She will never let me go freely. As long as I'm alive I will always be a threat to her throne. And I will never sign away my birthright! The Light Kingdom belongs to the elves and it always will! She stole it and I will take it back!,"
And North swallowed, bowed and left.

Elora felt her anger rise. And she went over to her brother,
"How do you feel?,"
"Better thanks to you,"Legolas explained,
"You saved my life,"
"Elora, something else happened while you were gone,"Elrond began,
"Elves was attacked by Livia's men we think. Many died I'm afraid. But we also send men after them and manage to fight back,"
And Elora sighed,"She's using everything she's capable of to get to me. It won't take long until Livia will attack Mirkwood with an army,"

"Attack Mirkwood!?,"A man suddenly interrupted,
"It is our Queen's Kingdom that's under attack!,"
And Elora turned around.
"You so called elves, your elves attack our knights daily,"The man began,
"And you... You think we don't know where the orders come from!? The whole middle earth knows these creatures ride up the tames, all the way to your royal bed,"
And a guard beside Elora drew his sword, but Elora held out her hand before him,
"You will leave my presence, Sir!,"She warned,
"Go back to your rat hole! Tell Livia I fear neither her, nor her council, nor her armies! Tell her if she wants to shake her little fist at us!, I'm ready to give her such bite, she'll wish she kept her hands from my Kingdom!,"
"You see a leaf fall,"The man began,
"And you think you know which way the wind blows. Well, there's a wind coming, madam! That will sweep away your pride!,"
And he bowed and began to leave the room.

"I, TOO, CAN COMMAND THE WIND, SIR!,"Elora exclaimed angrily,
"I HAVE A HURRICANE IN ME THAT WILL STRIP THE DARK KINGDOM BARE IF YOU DARE TO TRY ME!,"
And Legolas swallowed.
And Thranduil smiled for himself. His daughter has become more defying. It was time she married.

Emersion turned to her, "Elora, maybe you should give your people the two things Livia has failed to provide. An heir and a King," And Elora swallowed, "Wise council. I consider it. I'm not sure I'm ready to marry someone," And Emersion sighed, "Elora, its been years since that happened. You need to love again and you need to let go of that fear," And Elora swallowed, "I'm not sure I can,"
