On the king's command

Thranduil invites Bard, king of Dale, to his palace, with the intention to make new good trading connections with the newly founded country. What he doesn't know is, that Bard has been secretly in love with the elven king since the Battle of the five armies.
What he does know, however, is that the man from Dale is smart, strong and very attractive, and king that he is, Thranduil decides to make him stay.
