B, B & B



Ch15



Glorfindel arched his brow "Us? I think not. You are the advisor, you
go stop the king from killing Elronds new mate". The dark advisor
sighed and watched as the king advanced on the prince after the initial
shock of his son yelling at him wore off.

 

Erestor somehow managed to separate the princes ear from the kings
fingers and sent Legolas to go stand over by the twins "King Thranduil
do you know who I am?"

The king furrowed his brow and nodded confused "Of course I do".

Erestor crossed his arms and arched his brow "Good, then you know that
when Elrond is distressed or indisposed, I am in charge".

Elrond rolled his eyes and took a step forward "Erestor really this..."

The dark advisor narrowed his eyes "Quiet Elrond you are distressed and
right now I am in charge...Thranduil, is Legolas your youngest seed?"

The king sighed and rubbed the back of his neck "Well nai but Malwen
was the one intended in the contract".

Erestor shook his head "Then her name should have been entered. But
since Oropher did not do that...it falls as written. Now, are you going
to throw another fit and scramble after your ion like a rivaling
sibling?...Or...are you going to accept that Elrond is fine with this
arrangement and start acting more appropreatly...well? I am waiting".

The king blinked in shock and just found himself nodding to stop
Erestor from continuing, then sighed relieved when the dark advisor
walked back over and sat next to the smiling Balrog slayer.

Thranduil slowly turned and shook his head "Valar Elrond, is he always
like that?"

Elrond sighed and nodded "When he is concerned for me or upset. Most
fear, yet respect Erestor".

Thranduil shook his head and took a deep breath "Are you truly alright
with this Elrond, you were expecting an elleth, you are not upset?"

Elrond smiled kindly "I am not upset in the slightest Thranduil...truly"

The king gave a resigned nod and then both elven rulers glanced over
and watched Legolas chat with the twins. After a few moments, Elrond
stepped closer and tilted his head "Thranduil, how old is Legolas?"

Thranduil cringed and looked over "Aye, he is two months shy his
majority, though I must state that he is rather mature for his
age...you will need to watch him, and worn Erestor. He once altered a
trade document so that more chocolate was deliverd...he can be sly when
he wants something...as you noticed. Will his age be a problem?"

Elrond shook his head "Nay, if he is mentally old enough to be trusted
to initiate a worrier companion, alter trade documents, and has the
compassion to take his sisters place...and in such a sly way...then I
have no problem with his age. though I would prefer that your declare
him an adult".



Thranduil slowly lowered his head "You be gentle with my greenleaf
Elrond, I mean it", then turned and yelled "Legolas!"

The prince jumped and slowly walked over "Nai adar?"

The king took a deep breath and stood tall as he declare quite loudly
"I now declare you of age!"

Legolas furrowed his brow "Of age? But adar my begetting day..."

Thranduil smiled and placed his hand on his shoulder "Nai nai your
begetting day will remain as it is, but I must declare you an adult so
that you may be with Elrond properly".

The king then took a deep breath and sighed "Go with your new mate now
and...and uh...well, just do as Elrond says ion-nin. I will see you
tomorrow morning".

Once his father had left the room, Legolas slowly turned, walked up
close and placed his hands on Elronds hips "I apologize for deceiving
you my lord but...I could not just stand back and watch my sister enter
a loveless bond. It would not have been fair for either of you...I...I
also prefer males as you know, I mean, you know that, and I know you
know I am inexperienced...but...but I learn quickly and I will do my
best to please you and make you happy and..."

Elrond held up his hand to hush the rambling prince, then lightly
chuckled as he wiped a tear from his eye with his sleeve and smiled "Oh
penneth, you...you have No idea how happy you have already made me"

The prince blinked surprised "Do not weep my lord...saes".

Elrond took a deep breath and nodded "I will try penneth, I am just a
little overwhelmed right now, I am bound to the fairest elon I have
ever seen and I...well, you will have to be patient with me Legolas, I
am older then your adar and have two grown ions...I may be a tad
overbearing at times, you are quite young".

Legolas blushed at the comment on his looks, then smiled as he shrugged
his shoulders "Well, I can be a tad impulsive, but I am sure we will
work something out, and...and this is not Mirkwood...You will need to
be patient with my learning your ways here in Imladris".

Elrond laughed and nodded "As I will need to learn yours. Let me speak
with Erestor a moment".

The prince returned to chatting with the twins and Elrond pulled his
advisor close "Erestor, have chocolates sent to my chamber immediately,
an assortment, it seems the prince is not beyond altering documents to
acquire them so make sure they are always available..." Elrond then
swiftly yanked Erestor into a deep hug and buried his face in his neck
"I...I am bound to an elon, and the fairest one I have ever seen
Erestor!".

The dark advisor smiled as he chuckled, then whispered "I am truly
happy for you my lord, and I will have the chocolates there before you
arrive"

Elrond pulled back, then took a deep breath and held out his hand
"Legolas?"

The prince walked back over and nervously took Elronds hand "Tul now
Legolas, let us go and get to know one another better alright?"
