The King's Wife (Squeal To TGKD)

[10] What Did He Promise

So before we start this chapter. I want you all to know that the picture above is of Delin. He just has more scars on his face. Hope you enjoy.

One Year Later 

"Nalain come here! I need to get you ready for the travel." I yelled to me one year old son. He is currently running around his room naked as ever. I would be laughing, but if Delin walked in and saw I was fighting with him, he wouldn't be pleased in the least bit. 

"Nalain you do not want your father to come in and see that you aren't dressed, do you?" He stopped and looked at me, then shook his head no. Delin wasn't good with our son at all. I thought it was just a small moment, like a new father learning the ropes. But it never caught on with him, and eventually he just stopped and just did the punishment. 

I had finished getting Nalain dressed when Delin walked into the room. "Are you two finally ready." 

"Yes, but what do you expected with having a one year old child, that you wish to take on a long trip." 

"My wife will not talk to me like that. Unless you wish to not see her son." Delin yelled. I knew he wasn't joking, because he had done it once before. I said something rude, and he locked both Nalain and I away from each other for weeks. 

Picking up my son, I walked towards my husband. But only to be stopped by him. "I love you, you do Know that don't you?"

"Of course, I love you too." I said with a fake smile. I really hated this man. I don't see how I could have ever loved this man, but he was different before Zelda left.

Speaking of Zelda, Delins men finally found her. She was trying to live a life in a village not far from here. I don't understand why on Middle-Earth he just didn't leave her be. She's a sweet girl and now shes locked away in our dungeon. I would go and see her every now and then, when she would want to see me.  She would ask to hold Nalain when he was little. But now she sits and plays with him in her cell. It breaks my heart to see such a sweet girl stuck in  a cell all day. 

As I was in my day dream, I realized that Delin was trying to talk to me. 

"I'm sorry I didn't hear what you said." 

He sighed, "I said that Zelda is coming with us. Can you start listening?" 

"Why is she coming?" 

"Do you not wish her too?" 

"NO, No, No I would love to have her come. It's just shes been locked up, and now your making her come with us." 

"Trust me it's easier for her to come with us." He said while giving me an evil look. I let the conversation go after that. I do not wish to interfere with whatever he has planned.

We continued to the carriage and got ready for this journey. Once inside the carriage I saw Zelda sitting there with her hands tied. I waved and she only nodded. I would have to talk to her later, but now it would be to dangerous. 

~~ Couple Days Later ~~

Delin was snoring so loud that it woke Nalain from his nap and now we can't sleep due to him. 

"How have you two been?" Zelda asked out of the blue. 

"We've been better." 

"Has he kept you from him lately?"

"No, I've been keeping my tongue to myself. I can not, not see my son."  She frowned and just went back to keeping to herself. Sometimes I want to get inside her head and know what she's thinking. I'd like to get outta my head sometimes. Well I guess sense I have time to think now, I wish I could teach Nalian how to be a dragon. All I knew when I woke up was that I could turn into a Dragon, but I didn't know how or what the right name was. 

I haven't told Delin this, but when we get closer to our location. To which I didn't know where it was, I feel happy. Excited is a better way at putting it. 

"You know where we're going don't you?"

"No, Delin didn't want me to know." She finally turns to me and hands me a map. As soon as it was open she pointed to a mountain. "Erebor? I've never heard of it before. Why are we traveling all that way?"

Taking the map, she shrugged. "I heard it was to do with the Kings daughter. She's getting her first crown and dwarves are custom with having big celebrations for any crowning's."

"Oh well I learn something new everyday. Do you know how old she is turning?" 

"I think seven, eight? I don't know actually. Guess we'll have to see when we get there."

"If you don't mind me asking, I never knew why you and him. Had your differences." 

"It's a long story." She laughed. 

"Trust me, I think we both have time. Nalain and I need some excitement." 

"Well you asked for it. My mother died when I was young, and well he kinda took me in. But he wasn't the best friend anyone could have. So I left on a search for a new life, but when I would leave, well you know. We actually ended up getting into this huge fight, because he wanted me to marry a man that I didn't love, so we made a promise. If I help him then I could leave." 

"Well if I can guess, you helped him find me so you can leave." 

"What do you mean find you?" She asked worriedly. 

"That when I ran away you went out for him. You do remember don't you?"

"Oh yeah that. Well I don't know why he won't let me leave." 

"Well I want you too live a free life. To love who you wish, you have been very kind to me and I wish the best for you."

"Thank you, but he will not give it to me."

"Actually he will." I said, she looked at me with hope. "He has told me this-"

"But, I know theres a but, I've been in these types of conversations before. Lacibella tell me what he has told you or promised you." She whispered. 

Looking to Nalain, I had finally saw that he had managed to fall asleep again. "Lacibella please tell me." 

"He had told me once that if I would finally give myself to him you could be free."
