The guardian of Rohan (Eowyn x Male reader)

Chapter 1 : Starting with the left hoof

It was a new day for Elion, and not in the literal sense, he now had the mission to protect the house of Rohan, at least halfway. Not that he was disappointed with the result of his years of preparation, but he did not expect the king's decision.

Already in the barracks, he put on his royal guard armor, his helmet and his spear and shield, since he had a preference for these over a sword.

Finally, he climbed the stairs to Meduseld and opened the doors of the golden hall, cautious of anything that might arise. Háma asked him to report to the king to clarify a few things, Elion did not know what exactly those things were, but what can he do?

Elion walked to the throne, where Theoden was receiving some messages from Westfold; Elion, not wanting to interrupt the king, just knelt down and waited for a reply from the king. After a few seconds, Theoden noticed the presence of the guardian.

"Ah ,Elion ,good morning ,thank you for showing up early."

"Of course my lord,it is my duty at the end of the day" Elion had no discomfort about it,in fact he enjoyed being punctual and efficient . "Captain Háma told me that you would give me my routine with Lady Eowyn."

Theoden just let out a small chuckle at this " Routine? No no no no,you are not here for a *routine*. As Lady Eowyn's Guardian,you will accompany and care for her at all times ,as well as assist and support her in any circumstance she needs,is that clear? ."

"In addition to that, you must notify me of any problems or inconveniences that arise around Eowyn"

"Correct sir, I will notify you immediately."

"Very well ,Eomer ,if it is not too much trouble,please take Elion to where your sister is."

"No problem my Lord" Eomer made a gesture to get Elion's attention ,asking him to accompany him.

Theoden was actually a little worried; maybe he didn't take into account how vulnerable he could make Eowyn feel, but maybe something good could come out of this.

As Eomer and Elion walked down the stairs of Meduseld, both were silent, for some reason, there was tension between the two Rohirrim. To break the awkwardness ,Elion began a conversion.

"So general,is she your sister? "Maybe it wasn't a good idea to start there.

"Yes ,me and Eowyn were taken in by King Theoden when we were children ,our father died during an orc hunt and our mother fell ill and died a short time later,since then he took us in and has cared for us ever since.I am very grateful for his care."

"That's unfortunate, I'm sorry for your loss," Elion expressed deeply.

"Thank you,however,time has passed and there is nothing I could have done back then,though as of today I already have a purpose,to protect Rohan from any threat"

"However....." Eomer paused and averted his gaze to the horizon. " I don't think Eowyn is satisfied with her life.... And I don't know how I can help her." Eomer kept thinking through the night about what Theoden mentioned; is Eowyn so unhappy with her life? Should she be able to do more? And if so... What could he do as his brother?

"Sorry for rambling,I must be talking myself senseless."

"Of course not general,it's to be admired that you want the welfare of your family."

Eomer only responded with a gentle smile.Somehow,the boy seemed like someone who knows what he's doing.

They both arrived at the center of town,where Eowyn was giving support to the villagers of Edoras,who looked very grateful to the lady.
