The Beauty and The Elven King

1

"My lord, we found a man roaming in our grounds he would not say whom he is and where he's from" Idir came through the door to inform his king.

"Bring him to me "he commanded and sat straighter on his throne.

Minutes later in came two of his men, each holding an arm of the strange man. The man would not look at the king , he kept his gaze to the ground. He didn't bow either making the two elves drop him to the floor on his knees.

"Bow to your king!"Thranduil said to the man sternly.

"You are not my king . You are no king . A king protects his people." the elf hissed coldly making Thranduil suck in a breath.

"I always protect my people." He said staring at the man slightly confused but still standing tall. The man stayed silend.

"Who are you ? Where are you from ?" the king asked his temper rising due to the man's silence. He kept his posture. Thranduil rose from his trone and took a deep breath.

"Very well. If he doesn't wish to speak to his king he will not speak to anyone. Get him out of my sight. In the dungeons."

"But , my lord , he is old .Shouldn't we be more gentle?" Idir,his hand, asked the king carefully.

"Nonsense! He showed no respect to his king I will show no respect to him!"the king said turning his back to them and retrieving to his chambers.
Allowing his men to take away the old elf.

"Enter" Thranduil spoke after a knock was heard on his door.

"I came to check on you , my king " Idir came in and spoke in a caring manner, seeing his king and friend sitting on his white wooden chair staring at a potrait of his wife. "Are you alright , Thranduil?" he asked stepping closer.

"I miss her ,Idir. I feel so alone without her. So lost" The king said , turning to face his friend after he placed the small potrait on his desk. Idir nodded.

"I understand , my friend. We all miss her. It's been a while since she left us ."

"Four years." Thranduil sighed. "But she gave me the most precious gift she could.Μy little Legolas . " he said with a small smile.

"Yes she did." Idir smiled softly at his friend. Silence followed for a minute or so. "Thranduil I know it's hard but you need to move on. She wouldn't want you to be alone."

"I know, she wouldn't" He sighed." But I have tried, and I can't find a maiden that can love me for who I am"
