Later that evening, dinner came. Olivia felt nervous on returning to all the dwarves, not knowing what will happen next. She remembered Thorin tellng her that he had went off on them. But still she wasn't sure. Dis had given her a few dwarven designed dresses. Olivia fell in love with the dresses thinking they are beautiful. Olivia got dressed into a light blue and gold gown. And Olivia wore golden earrings,and beads in her braids to match. "You look lovely, Olivia. Thorin's mouth is going to drop open at this!" said Dis. Olivia chuckled. "Yes. I know." said Olivia. "Are you ready?" asked Dis. "I am ready." said Olivia. "Your sister has been asking for you. She hasn't seen you since after last night's dinner disaster." said Dis. "She'll see me tonight. Besides that, Thorin and I had a lot of catching up to do last night. I can understand the dwarves initial shock of seeing Thorin alive, but their anger towards me is wrong. I nearly sacrificed myself to save Thorin. It's not right on how they treated me." said Olivia. Dis sighed. "I know. I'm glad Thorin went off on them the way he did." said Dis. "What about Dain? I doubt that he likes me now since this whole occurence of Thorin, Fili and Kiil's resurrection. He hasn't even spoken or even said hi to me whenever I pass him in the halls!" said Olivia. "Dain, is one we have to work with, and Thorin has to deal with him. Dain himself is still shocked from the experience." said Dis. The two fell silent as they were about to enter the Dining Hall. "Well here goes." sighed Olivia, as they entered the dining hall.
When they entered the Hall, Olivia felt surprised by the warm welcome she received from the same dwarves who had said the unkind words about her. They even apologized and begged for her forgiveness, as they approached her. "What you done is the most beautiful thing anyone has ever done, and very bold. I would never be able to do that for my husband if we were in your shoes." said a dwarf woman. "Don't worry, Nyla. Everything all worked out." smiled Olivia. "Look! There's the future Queen!" called out a dwarf child, a little girl with red hair approaching Olivia. "Tell me how to become a queen! I want to be just like you!" chirped the little girl. The little girls actions warmed Olivia's heart, and she gave the little girl advice. "A good queen is kind, gracious, and she serves the community and helps others! She even saves lives!" said Olivia. The little girl smiled and hugged Olivia. After seeing this child, her thoughts went back of wanting a child. But after her miscarriage, she knew she could never get pregnant again after that. Unless Oin has some special medication he came up with to help it.
After being received with kind words from the dwarves, Dis and Olivia made their way to the large table, Olivia smiled as she sat with Thorin and the others. As for Dain, he didn't look at Olivia. "What has gotten into him?" asked Olivia. "I don't know. Ever since my return, he's been a real son of a Orc lately. Which I'm planning to address to him after dinner." scowled Thorin. This does not sound good. I just hope the two of them don't get into a brawl, thought Olivia. Before beginning supper, as a custom in Erebor, the Royals begin their pre dinner speeches, starting with Dain. "Ladies and gentle dwarves! Tonight I am announcing my resignation as King Under The Mountain, and I will turn over the reign to Thorin II Oakenshield, son of Thrain, son of Thror! In Two weeks will be his coronation as your new King!" announced Dain, and then after Dain took his seat, Thorin stood up and spoke.
"I am glad all of you welcomed Olivia and finally accepting her as part of us. She has done many sacrifices to keep us all safe, and myself. In my eyes, Olivia is the true hero, and I'm proud to announce her as my Queen." said Thorin. Everyone cheered, except for Dain. Dis had to give Dain a nudge just to get him to join in. "Now lets enjoy the great supper that our cooks have made for us!" concluded Thorin, as he sat down,. A few minutes later, the food is served, and everyone started eating. "Thorin, I like a word with you after supper." said Dain, darkly. "Okay." said Thorin. "We will talk in the training arena." scowled Dain. Training area? Of all places Dain wants to talk to me, the training area? Something isn't right here. Dain isn't acting himself lately. After supper, I will get to the botton of this, thought Thorin. After supper, Thorin and Dain meet in the training arena, while Dis and the others gathered in the Great Hall for conversation. Olivia sat quietly, worried on how Thorin's conversation would turn out. Finally she couldn't take it anymore, she had to go an eavesdrop as much as she hated too.
