Wherewithal (A Thranduil Fanfiction)

Chapter 14: The Elven King's Meltdown.

Legolas

I stepped into Thayel's bedroom and I slowly knocked my hand on her double door as anxiety and nervous began to grew beneath my skin.

"Come in!"

I slowly opened the double door while I noticed Thayel braided her hair with her hand softly touched every part of her brown hair, she turned her face to me as she seemed a bit surprised.

"Oh Forgive me, Legolas, I thought you were Aurae."

She instantly stood and bowed to me, I was enchanted by the pure beauty of her face, she wore a very beautiful long silver gown, her fair skin recalls me of the moon goddess as her smile was pacified me down, secretly.

"Ada told me that you should head to the hall room immediately, and I hope you know where the hall room is."

I hardly attempted to held my smile in my mouth. But unfortunately, it has widened already when I stared at her rose red cheeks.

"I don't know, Legolas. I haven't been around in this palace, would you led me there?"

I nodded as she immediately approached me and draped her hand on my arm, I smell berries on her body, I tried to managed my heart that has pounded too fast. Every moment I remembered about Thayel, I just gazed at the dark sky of night. Imagined her smile among the moon and the stars. Although it hurts, I acknowledge this is the only decision I had for myself and I can not run away from this reality.

"You promised me that we will talk about that dwarves,"

Her gentle voice broke into the quiet nuances in this palace, her voices echoed in my ear. It made my heart trembled and beaten more faster, while her eyes were gazed at me as sharp as an arrow.

"Why do we have to talk about the dwarves? They are not important to talk about, even to think about, they will be cooped there forever like Ada said." I pointed my finger to the hallway of dungeons.

"There was no guard at the dungeons? What if they escape, Legolas?"

"Û, I assumed they will not. Everyone celebrate Mereth Nuin Giliath, I'm convinced myself, they will not run away with their small bodies."

I noticed her nodded slowly as I speak, we arrived at the hall room. Everyone immediately stared at us for a moment and began to whispered at each other as the huge door of the hall room opened, I immediately let go my arms of Thayel's grips, I do not want Ada to know it, and I wish Ada didn't know about it.

Thayel

People were stared at me as I  approached Thranduil, all people in the hall room were looked at me so cynical, I ventured to be patient as I keep my head to looked forward.

"Thranduil."

He gave me a slight sidelong glance and didn't smile at all as he usually did everytime I came to him, his face and his ego as hard as a rock, his neck were rigid like a needle, I quickly dragged him out of the crowd and whispered to him.

"What happened to you? You seem different. Is there anything wrong?"

"None of your bussines."

He raised his chin as his face became a deadpan to myself. This time he act arrogant such as the first time we met.

"You're not Thranduil, Thranduil would not have behave like this to me. I do not believe you."

"Until when, your mouth could be silent for a while and do not speak by themselves?"

I felt his words as sharp as shards of glass pierced my heart many times, he kept his eyes forward and still stood in silence.

"Just so you know, I prepared my hair and my gown, so I could see your smile as I came to you, Thranduil."
