HOW TO READ THE KINGDOM OF THE WOODLAND REALM TRILOGY

I have read complaints from people that seem understandably lost when reading from blog to blog, so I’m going to try to explain it has best as I can (especially now that TKWR Trilogy has a larger audience than originally thought). Most people may not be watching the TKWR Trilogy Newsfeed: @tkwrtnewsfeed often (where I often post free downloadable books now and then--one coming next Wednesday on my Dad’s birthday), so I’ll try to explain how to follow this book.

This is the first blog: the FIRST ONE you should start with. It begins here: https://tkwrtrilogy.tumblr.com/post/135724032251/book-ii-the-saga-of-thranduil-chapter-i-i-am. That’s the very first excerpt from the entire first book (either version).

This is also the first book I started with; it began as one book then it was to be a trilogy about Thranduil and evolve into a trilogy about the multi-generational stories of his family (thus is why the links seem odd versus the titles on the page). This blog is THE FIRST HALF OF BOOK II: THE SAGA OF THRANDUIL.

THE SECOND HALF of BOOK II: THE SAGA OF THRANDUIL starts here: @tkwrtrilogy2. You are taken to the additional 9 chapters of Book II: The Saga of Thranduil. It begins here: https://tkwrtrilogy2.tumblr.com/post/147531755302/chapter-i-a-love-beyond-time-pt-i-legolas-was. The chapter titles reflect what would have been the original THIRD BOOK of the ORIGINAL TRILOGY. It was easier to do that than add to this blog because I already had ended what was the original end of Book II.

THE EXTENDED VERSION: First, it’s here: @extendedtkwrtrilogyend. Secondly, it begins before Êlúriel dies in the first (original) versions–i.e., the above two blogs. It begins here: https://extendedtkwrtrilogyend.tumblr.com/post/148916252443/chapter-xviii-ext-the-return-to-shadow-pt-i. The Extended Version starts in the middle of Book II: The Saga of Thranduil and covers parts you read in the first two blogs. The chapter titles reflect the additional titles for the (now) new trilogy (that added 9 chapters and 140+ additional pages). This is part of a SEPARATE BOOK; the extended version of Book II: The Saga of Thranduil.

BOOK I: THE EPIC OF ERYN GALEN

Going back into time: After doing some research to make this entire story appear to work alongside actual Tolkien, I realized that when Oropher dies during the War of the Last Alliance, he was too young to be “awakened” by Lake Cuiviénen; hence I had to create his family while all the while making him related to Celeborn (as Christopher Tolkien said his father said he was but never elaborated). That took about six months and when it was ready, Book I: The Epic of Eryn Galen went up here: @tkwrtrilogy3. This is the book I am writing now. I am technically done with Book II and going through editing both versions.

The NEW Book III: THE LAST TALE OF LEGOLAS GREENLEAF (LASGALEN)

I knew that all the generations of the Woodland Royals had to be consistent. Book I is told by Orothôn, father of Oropher and Oropher himself. You can thank Thranduil for making it possible that all generations tell their story from their point of view. So I decided to change what was a diary into a book. So now Legolas is Book III. He can be found here: @trenarnolegolaslasgalen. It will still be written in Sindarin more than the others; as the name suggests it means “The Last Tale of Legolas Lasgalen”. That will be the last book in the trilogy. Since Legolas is in most of Book II and its extended version, this means Legolas’ book has an extended version. That one is here: @tkwrtrilogylasttale. Nothing’s there yet (obviously). That doesn’t mean I’m not working on it--I am.

The only “updates” to the blogs will be in PDF versions of the books as they are made available periodically (like next week’s download that will last for 24 hours in honor of my father’s birthday). The online versions are the very first rough drafts.

You are reading the evolution of a high fantasy novel based on the Tolkien characters Oropher, Thranduil and Legolas from their point of view (so look for a lot of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings in Legolas’ story (Book III) and a lot of The Silmarillion in Orothôn and Oropher’s point of view in Book I. There will be an end--unlike other fan fictions. Also, unlike other fan fictions, the entire book will have an annotated version--complete with notes for source material for how this book evolved in the first place; when that day comes, you’ll know: This book has 10 TKWRT related blogs.

In conclusion: the first two blogs mentioned here are the same book (Book II: The Saga of Thranduil), the third mentioned is the extended version of the first book which is Book II, Book I (fourth link) is the story of Thranduil’s ancestors and Book III (fifth and sixth links) is Legolas telling his story as his father did in Book II and his great-grandfather and grandfather did in Book I. 😁 I hope this helps somewhat as the story continues to get more detailed and comprehensive.--JMM, author.

Chapter XXIX: (EXT) The Departure to Mithlond

“The afternoon before I was to leave, I found Thûlë in the gardens with Eärluin and Auríel showing them things sleight of hand. They were so taken by the magic neither of them noticed I was there.

“Thûlë,” I said. “Might I have a moment of your time?”

“Yes, of course,” he said. “Stay right there, I will return.”

The girls clapped and spoke among themselves as Thûlë walked with me a short distance.

“What is it, Thranduil,” he asked.

“We are leaving at the fall of twilight tomorrow,” I began.

“You have decided to make the journey,” he said smiling.

“Yes,” I stammered. “Is it far?”

“Mithlond,” he asked. “Well, it will take some time to get there.”

“No, I meant, Aman.”

His eyes seemed to dance at the sound of that and he smiled.

“I cannot say,” he began. “For the journey is different for everyone. Like everything in this world, that world is very much the same.”

“It is the same,” I pondered. “How so?”

“It exists.”

I could tell by his face that I was as dumbfounded as I thought.

“Thranduil,” he began gingerly. “For as long as I have lived and for all that I have seen the only thing I have seen once was what I have always seen. Every day of your life you saw the same thing without realizing that each day everything changed. Nothing in this world or the next remains the same. Forever can last a moment and a moment forever. Immortality is the art of living as long as one can to do what one will in a world that changes right before our eyes. We do not see it change because we are living.”

With that, he left me thinking about what he said as he returned to perform for Eärluin and Auríel. I made my way back into the palace in a fog of comprehension. I thought all day and into the night—I barely ate a thing at dinner and sound did not seem to permeate my thoughts.

Finally, when all had fallen silent, I realized I was alone at the table of the dining hall. I made my way to my chambers. Êlúriel was in her night gown standing at my mirror combing her hair.

“Thranduil, are you ill,” she asked. “You have been acting strangely all day.”

“I was just thinking,” I said.

“About what,” she asked putting her comb away. “Have you changed your mind about leaving?”

“No,” I said, pulling her close to me. “I do not want to live anywhere you are not. Not in life nor in death.”

“What has changed you this night,” she asked smiling.

“Nothing has changed,” I said, kissing her lips. “But nothing is the same except my love for you.”

She took my hand and led me to our bed where we spent our last night together for what would be one moment in forever I would never forget.

As night began to fall the following evening, I mounted my horse and paused for a moment. Êlúriel sat patiently upon her horse quietly as did the rest of our family. We were leaving this world never to return. Even as there had been pain, there were countless joys.

“Shall we begin,” Thûlë asked.

I nodded and for the last time, I motioned to lead my kingdom to Mithlond. The night started to unveil the stars that shone down from cloudless skies. The journey that have began our ancestors would end with us. I had only learned that we were the last of our kin to depart for Aman.

As we rode throughout the night, I could not help but to notice the world I was born into in a light far different that I could remember. The Misty Mountains seemed far greater beneath the stars as their peaks seemed to touch the heavens above them.

Through forests and across hills through valleys, our journey seemed to leave the younger of our elves spellbound. I had not known the world beyond the Rhovanion until I left for war. To see as I left it seemed disappointing as it was as beautiful as Eryn Lasgalen.

On the last night before we were to reach Mithlond, several elves took our horses to set them free. We would walk the rest of the way into the port. It took some time to console Tárimë as her horse was a gift from me.

I walked a distance from camp watching the sun slowly disappear beneath the horizon. I wondered how life would be in Aman. I thought of how much time had passed since I had seen my mother.

“Forever has never been so close as it is now,” Elranduil said as he approached. “Just over that horizon is where it lies.”

“Are you afraid,” I asked. “To go beyond this world we have only heard about in elven lore. How do we know there is anything out there waiting for us? What if nothing is there and we came so far for nought?”

“Why would you think such a thing,” he asked. “Of course there is something out there beyond the sea. Thûlë came from there, remember. You think we came all this way to fall off the edge of the Earth?”

“Of course not, Elranduil,” I said nervously. “What if what is out there is not the paradise we were told it was?”

“Even now, you are still awaiting something that will never be or never was as father would say.”

“Why are you so sure of what is there,” I asked.

“Why are you so afraid of what is there,” he asked.

I thought about his words for a moment. What was I afraid of? The unknown, perhaps. Fear of looking back and seeing my existence turned to fable told by humans to put their children to sleep.

What would become of the kingdom we left behind as the years would turn it to nothing more than relics of a world long since past. Worse, it could be lost as it faded into nature and swallowed by the earth to never be discovered.

“There will be nothing of us left, Elranduil,” I said. “Nothing we have done through the centuries will exist no more. We will be forgotten as if we never lived.”

“Not a creature in this world that ever lived was left forgotten,” he said. “They become part of an endless tale that is told and retold from one generation to the next. For each generation there is added shadings and what have you, but underneath the myth lies a grain of truth. That is what will be remembered.”

I must have had a look of wonderment because Elranduil had a great smile on his face.

“When did you become so wise?”

“I always have been wise,” he said. “You never listen to me.”

“For good reason quite often,” I answered.

“Thranduil, whatever lies beyond the horizon you will not be going there alone,” he said. “All of us will see what you will see. For better or worse, we will be together.”

I knew he was right. I always wondered about the unknown whether in fear or curiosity. Now, I would face it myself.

**** **** **** ****

When dawn came, everyone followed Thûlë the rest of the way to Mithlond. The closer we came, the more anxious I became. Once we entered the city, the sun had not yet started its descent. There was one grand ship—large enough for everyone. Tarthôn smiled when he saw it.

“I am looking forward to going home,” he said.

I said nothing as elves began to board. I began to look around Mithlond. The grand halls were empty—not a soul was left. We were truly the last to leave this world.

“You are looking for me, are you not,” a voice asked. I turned to see Êlenuil. “I was,” I said. “You have kept your word.”

“I have but I also wanted to see if you would come with us,” he said.

“You thought I would stay behind,” I asked.

“Most everyone thought as much,” he said. “But I see Êlúriel has convinced you to come.”

“Time convinced me,” I began. “I have nothing but time and those I love to spend it with. Eryn Galen is in my heart where it will never leave. I have forever to remember all that it was to me.”

“So it is the same with Súlelenth,” he said. “She is where she always has been since the day we met.”

“Your children are on board,” I said. “As well as the rest of your family. Shall we go?”

Êlenuil nodded and we walked on board together. Êlúriel stood looking at me. She kissed me.

“Let us go,” she said.

I smiled and helped her on to the ship and stepped in after. When the bridge was raised and the sails unfurled in the gentle breeze, the ship slowly began it’s journey toward the setting sun into eternity.”––TKWR:BII The Saga of Thranduil (EXT. VER.) by J. Marie Miller 12-22-17

I am really tired of hearing about “unsavory” messages floating around about me by people that have no idea who I am or what my story is and do not even bother to know it--except to listen to rumor and innuendo. NO, I am not going to stop writing my story. I made a promise to finish it. NO, I do not care what is said about me but what upsets my friends and family will upset me and I will do anything to keep them from such vile activity--even if it means I will not answer another message or have another Q&A until the very end of The Kingdom of the Woodland Realm Trilogy and that might be for several years. It is a very long book. I do this because I love it. Nothing more and nothing less. Writing isn’t a competition--it is work and it is done for the love of creating something that people want to read. That is it and that is all.

I have enough drama in my life that I do not have time for belligerency mean-spirits taking from me dignity and the very essence of what I hold dear--my work and my father for whom I write. I do not know when I will lose him but I know he still lingers with me now. When he is gone, this will be all that I have left and I will protect it with my life. I have little tolerance for those with less of a heart than they do a conscience that just wish to take it upon themselves to shame a person for whatever reason their little minds can conjure. Say what you will of me, but I will protect my work and my true friends.--J.

Chapter IX: The Departure to Mithlond

As night began to fall, I made my way to where the rest of my kingdom waited for me. I mounted my horse and paused for a moment. I was leaving this world never to return. Even as there had been pain, there were countless joys.

This is the first draft of the Official Appendix of The Kingdom of the Woodland Realm Trilogy. Most of the characters are from Book II: The Saga of Thranduil with Tolkien Canonical Characters and a few Book I: The Epic of Eryn Galen (some will appear in Book III: The Last Tale of Legolas Lasgalen) that are mentioned.

Some names have been changed (and some may change) so if you’ve been reading the books, some names belonging to some characters might appear differently here. That is in the process of being edited in the entire trilogy--especially Book II: The Saga of Thranduil which is due to be completed within the next few days. Still a work in progress; subject to change. This is easier to follow than the last post which even confuses me. 😁

Don’t get too comfortable: There are more characters and names coming. I have three books you realize.

C = Canonical. EV = Extended Version/s. *Mentioned.

Appendix (Alphabetical Order)

The elves began a lot and now they will end it with the final chapter of The Kingdom of the Woodland Realm Trilogy which is Book III: The Last Tale of Legolas Lasgalen. This is the same story found here: @trenarnolegolaslasgalen, only this is the extended version (with the additions from Book II’s extended version--such as his mother, Êlúriel and his sister Isílriel and his newest cousin, Elwen, daughter of Elranduil, cousin of Thranduil).

You are in for another long adventure into Middle-Earth. This will be Journey’s End, but we still have far to go before we see it.

The Children of Middle-Earth: Fantastic Kids and Where to Find Them

(Before someone sends me a message having a cow over credits, scroll to the end of the article--that’s where I put them at the most available links/full credits)

Everyone is familiar with the adorable little hobbit children in Peter Jackson’s “The Lord of the Rings Trilogy” but what about the “other” ones? The humans, dwarves, and most definitely elves?

Rest assured, they are there--in fact they are everywhere. The Hobbit is a children’s story (okay, so children used to be more mature back in the day with longer attention spans). But they aren’t in the books.

So, The Kingdom of the Woodland Realm Trilogy put them there. Book II: The Saga of Thranduil begins with a memory of Thranduil’s earliest childhood memory--when he met his best friends for life--some that would remain with him into adulthood. More of him as a baby comes in Book I: The Epic of Eryn Galen. Along with his cousin Elranduil, there’s Melros, Fëaluin, Fínduin, Elmîr, Aramír, Aramoth Sildôr, Findôl, and some of the girls: Arandil, Nínorë, Sinomë, Tínandril, Aryávë, Ardúin, Linurial and Súlthulë.

By Chapter XVI: Legolas Lasgalen, we get a in-depth look at Elven motherhood with the birth of Legolas. Even in his generation, there are elven children he grows up beside--especially in his immediate household: Tarthôn, Ardôr, Orísil, Aruilos, Elenadar and Elenatar (and if you’ve read the extended version, his little sister Isílriel, @alttkwrtrilogyend). There are more than one little girl: Ëariâth, Arlúin, Nimlúin and Arnîn.

By Chapter XXI: The Best of Sons, everyone has become acquainted with Aranduil and his cousins Nenduîl and Tárimë.

In old Book III: To Eryn Lasgalen, Chapter V: The Fall of Dol Guldur has seen the additions of Bain, son of Bard II and his wife Aurëwyn as well as dwarf child Durin*, son of Thorin III*. Durin (in Tolkien lore) would be the last Heir of Durin to rule (as Durin VII) as the only other heir of Durin would leave for the Undying Lands with Legolas* (Gimli*).

There will be far more children--on in particular I look forward to is Oropher*, father of Thranduil* (and quite possibly Celeborn* and his brother Galathil*) coming to Book I: The Epic of Eryn Galen. I am sure the question becomes, why now? I say why not?

When I began writing TKWR Trilogy in 2015, my typical modis operandi has always been to grow up a person because we didn’t come into this world as adults. Even in Tolkien, if only in passing, children are everywhere.

I became interested in giving them more of a role that shapes whom they will grow to become when I found myself working with Thranduil’s relationship with Baby Legolas--whose habit of crawling between his parents early in the morning for a play date started to become amusing. Though Legolas was Thranduil’s second experience with a child (his first was Tarthôn, the son of his best friend Melros who died during the War of the Last Alliance and made Thranduil promise to take care of him before they left for war), Thranduil became Middle-Earth’s Father of the Year quickly as children seem to find him fascinating--especially young Prince Bain and Prince Durin.

Most of us were young when we discovered the magical world of Tolkien’s Middle-Earth and for most of us, we had a child’s understanding of all the mystical and magical things going on. I thought what it would be like as an actual child--no matter the race--to live in such a world. You will notice most children will act as any child would--for example, Arlúin getting dirty helping her cousin Legolas chase his pet squirrel Lasimë under a bush or Isílriel doing her “adorable” routine to get Thranduil to take her outside for a ride around the kingdom.

In the all the events and happenings of Middle-Earth history, children learn to accept things they cannot change, ask a lot of questions about the world around them and learn from their parents and their world in all stages from childhood to adulthood. For me, it gave the Woodland Realm and other places in Endor a touch of realism. Even when a 500 year old elf thinks 2000 is old.

After all, we were children once and children makes life worthwhile and adventures come to life.--J.

Newsfeed #124 December 26, 2020 (26 Ringarë)

After such a tumultuous year, I am hoping to go into 2021 with cautious optimism. Yet, even as I continue working on this series, I will admit I spent a lot of time afraid to work in anticipation of another tragic event that would keep me from doing what I love. However, readers and fans have given me more courage to go on--especially in anticipation of this release--possibly due to the "bonus" material.

In this download of the Original Version of The Saga of Thranduil, there an exclusive look-see into The Epic of Eryn Galen (the prequel, if you will). The first two chapters begin a journey for the Elves that (for some) will last until the end of the War of the Ring (in The Lord of the Rings). Under starlight, the elves awaken on the shores of Lake Cuiviénen. With a stop in a place that would one day become known to the world as Mirkwood, the saga of Elves of the Woodland Realm begins. Book I is their origin story; their legacy.

To end 2020 with something such as this reminds me of how my own journey to this work began--with uncertainty in adversity; wandering in darkness until the first light of the Day Star finally revealed the world to me. Not unlike the characters, I must find the strength to carry on knowing that every night has a day. Hope is often born in times when it seems lost.

You can get the book here: Google Drive or WordPress.

‘I am your King’

(Thranduil x Female!Elf!Reader)

(Not my gifs, credit goes to the creators)

Middle-Earth Masterlist

My Main Blog Masterlist

Requested by: Anon

Requests: Open

Fandom: The Hobbit Trilogy

Request: ‘ Hi I loved Finnel! Could you write Thranduil x female elf reader where they’re together but get into an argument and he leaves in anger but ends in fluff? Thank you! ‘

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me. I forgot Thranduil walking out, as you will see below, but I tried to incorporate it once I realised, and it actual led to a clear image of the ending for me. I hope that this is okay, and thank you for requesting. I am not very good at angst, so I hope that this is okay.

Warnings: Comments on parenting, angst, and such.

Words: 2.3K

Disclaimer: This is a fanfiction, the scenarios, the reader, and the dialogue are all mine.

This should only be found on my blog.

Author is always me on this blog @daydreams-magic01-mrsdurin .

A/N: Please do not copy or plagiarise this, or put it in your own book, etc. It should only be found here. Also, please mention if I should make a taglist and if you wanted to be added. I also tried by best at being British.

Thank you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~Please do not copy ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before she was Queen, (Y/n) was perhaps the best soldier (minus the King and his family), she led the Guard as well as the armed forces of their Lord to victory. Her skill was unmatched, her aim unwavering and her swordsmanship rivalling that of the King himself. Orcs shivered at her name, Goblins ran back into their mountains, and enemy Kingdoms were more likely to bow before her than battle. Perhaps that is an exaggeration, but there are always elements of truth in the legend.

People were not shocked when the King of the Woodland realm was entranced by her - most were and even Dwarves found themselves astounded by her beauty; the people of Middle Earth, however, were further shocked upon the discovery that she returned his feelings. Celebrations lasted for weeks, and the people assumed more would follow soon after a few months in their marriage. Yet, none did.

This is perhaps what has led to the present.

~~~~~~~~~~~~Please do not copy ~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You will not fight," the King calmly states, causing the hair on the back of her neck to dance. He does not look away from her, giving her the tantalising gaze reserved for those he trades with, especially Dwarfs. She does not break the eye contact, their tidy chambers silent around them.

"Yes, I will."

There's a pause before he chuckles eerily, taking a step forward as he begins to circle her, a familiar tactic of his with enemies, "you are a Queen." He takes in the flowers weaved into her hair and the braids that remove hair from falling to her face, he takes in her gleaming silver gown with stars intricately etched on and he takes in her weapon less body, "you are not even prepared for war, Nin Meleth."

Although her shoulders shiver for a split second, she does not weaken, her eyes now fixated on the shut door in front of them, settling on him as her husband finally comes to a stop, back in his original place, she must withhold a scoff as she takes in his own appearance, he wears a matching silver robe, and his crown. "Neither are you, my lord."

Once again, there is a pause before her King chuckles again, and he slowly, carefully reaches into his robe to pull out a single, Elvish dagger, "this is but one I have on my person."

"I may have several weapons on me, and you would not be wiser," her eyes raise to meet his, the wild smile of her Guard days reappearing on her face, making the King frown, his gaze hardening as he effortlessly slithers the dagger back into its place.

"You have grown too comfortable with your life, my Queen," he speaks in Sindarin, raising a gentle hand to the circlet on her head, which is fixated in place by those flowers, "my (Y/n) would have never worn such beautiful pieces in her hair when she was the mere head of the guard."

She cannot deny that those words stung they cause her to gasp out slightly, which is enough to shake the foolish King out of his stupor, his jaw-dropping slightly as his eyes sharply shift to meet her own again, "Nin Meleth -."

"Enough!" She harshly says, her voice so stern and powerful that it could rival his, the true voice of a Queen. She pushes his hand away and fixes her posture, standing tall, "I may have not been so lucky to afford such delicacies, nor had the time to wear my best as often as you, but that is simply because whilst you attempted to fit into the shoes of a King, after being the Crown Prince for so long, I was protecting our borders, putting effort into creating peace."

He begins to look guilty, until she mentions his Kingship and peace, as he effortlessly slips into Sindarin, "how dare you, I am the one who has to engage in countless diplomacy meetings, I have led my armies into battle, and won, I have done countless things that you cannot imagine." He steps closer to her, leaning down to her ear, "I am your King." He enunciates each word, smirking softly to himself as he knows what reaction to expect, "your duty is to do as I say."

Opposite to the usual reaction of hers, her shoulders tense at his proximity, and she sharply steps back, responding in Sindarin, "my duty is to the people and to my Guard."

He tilts his head, watching her, devoid of emotions, and raises a brow.

Gaze unwavering, she rips the silver circlet from her head, many of the flowers alongside it, revealing the braids beneath and she throws it to the side, it clangs on the floor so loud that it shakes the passages and halls closest, their people freezing upon the sound.

"Take my crown," she steps forward, her gaze forming into a glare, with the stature of a Queen, The Queen of the Woodland Realm, "for I would rather lose it than hide in these halls like a pathetic goblin, or like you, Hîr vuin." She does not wait for an answer, instead choosing to step past her husband, heading to the door, which she makes no haste in pulling open.

His posture straightens, his head jostling back in shock, and he swerves on his heels "and what if you are with child?" These are the celebrations that the people spoke of, expecting heirs.

She halts, her Westron unwavering, "than their mother will be a Warrior, rather than a Princess."

The servants were not surprised when asked to set up the Queen's chambers, for you would have had to be as deaf as a Dwarf to not hear at least some of their conversation, certainly, the Circlet hitting the stone flooring. The King did not agree with this, for her chambers would be at the other side of the Wing, but he was not going to show his discomfort, nor his disagreement.

That was not the end of the Queen's actions that riled him. Although the Queen had officially stopped being the head of the Guard, that did not mean they stopped seeing her as so and even the current captain referred to himself as a form of co-captaincy, so when she asked to train with them, even though she had not meant for it to, things quickly settled into how they were before.

Thranduil watched every move she made, slinking in the shadows, from the balcony, and even in the training sessions himself, making sure that no one would harm a hair on his Lady's head.

To spite him, (Y/n) stopped wearing his gifts, settling back into her green tunic and brown trousers, stomping over to meals in such attire, always glaring at him from across the table, never uttering a word. Yet, she spoke to everyone else, wrote to everyone else also, but never uttering a slight sign of affection to her King.

It was driving Thranduil mad.

Of course, he did not attempt to talk to her either, only speaking when she crossed the line.

"No."

She ignores him, not moving her bow from the dinner table. She would not have done it previously due to manners, but it no longer mattered.

She slumps into her seat, hair wild with leaves sticking out from recent patrol, a darker shade for a tunic today, her leather chest plate still on, "I deserve a reward, do you not think," she thanks the servant that serves her some salad, before fixating her gaze back on her King's, "after all, I have been working so hard."

"By putting our child's life at risk."

The Servants serving each freeze, the air in the room turns cold, and the Queen shifts herself into a Kinglier posture.

"How dare you."

The servants step away from the table, slowly, to not catch the eye of either of them, and the guard’s glance at each other.

The King does not look ashamed and leans back into his seat, plopping a grape into his mouth, "it is true."

"Tell me, my lord, have I engaged in hand-to-hand combat?"

He pauses, "no."

"Tell me, my lord, have I trained with swords with another."

He pauses again, "no."

"Correct," she raises her goblet of cranberry juice to her lips, taking a tantalisingly long sip before placing it back down, licking my lips, "I have only demonstrated the movements, but I have not engaged in-person versus person."

"Yes, but -"

"Then, tell me, my lord, have I been drinking alcohol or going on unnecessary journey's."

"No," he makes no haste in continuing, cutting his wife off, "but you are still putting them at risk."

She scoffs and suddenly stands, knocking the table slightly, and pushing her chair against the floor, creating large squeaking noises, making many winces around her.

"My last cycle was three weeks ago, and we simply did it once before you decided to be insensitive and foolish, I believe it to be unlikely I am with child, you imbecile."

She turns on her heels, beginning to walk away, ignoring how her husband immediately stands, taking a few steps so that the table is no longer in his way, but she pays no heed.

"How dare you!"

"Mîbo orch!"

As she suspected, she was yet to be with child, and the King was informed, having ordered a servant to inform him if blood ever stained her satin sheets.

This did not stop (Y/n), who quickly settled back into her life before marriage, going on dangerous patrols, scouting out possible threats on the land surrounding them and treating the King as a King, rather than her husband.

Elves are incredibly patient, and this spat went on for several months, the only comfort being the gazes the pair secretly gave the other when they were not looking, for when they did converse, arguments always followed.

"I assure you, my lord, I will fulfil my duties as a Queen," she calmly states, treating him as she did before courting. The two are currently in the main hall, in front of their thrones, hers which hadn't been occupied in quite some time. Today, she wears several braids joined together so that her hair is not half up-half down, but more a quarter up, and three quarters down: with silver tunic and brown trousers. He wears his crown and the usual attire of light robe and dark trousers. She had come to report on their patrols, the official captain having faked discomfort to get the two to forgive, for all the people could feel it, as the days got darker, the air harder to breathe and the constant air of sadness surrounded the lands, the trees were drooping, and the paths are becoming overgrown.

"Then why have you not been in my chambers for so long."

"I beg your pardon?" She scoffs, the King providing her with the known gaze of his, which is void of all emotion.

"You bare me no glance, no-touch -"

"For you are unworthy of my attention, my lord, with all due respect," she speaks so calmly, and it is as if a knife goes through Thranduil, his gaze faltering, as well as his posture, but only for a millisecond.

Still, she notices, and guilt grips at (Y/n's) heart as she goes to take a gentle step forward. He raises a hand in dismissal, halting her in her steps.

"If my presence is so unwanted then let me rid you of it."

"My lord -"

He does not listen, ignoring her as he makes his way out, deciding today would be a good day for a private patrol of the furthest ends of their land.

"I was worried for you, Nin Meleth."

The King freezes, bow still in hand, not having noticed the presence before resuming his motions, gently placing his Bow on the rack. He wears a dark grey tunic, with brown trousers and a leather chest plate, which he soon takes off, his circlet not even crooked, "Now you know how I felt, My Queen," he switches to Sindarin, not turning to meet her.

"I did not act so foolish," she stands, and Thranduil listens as the footsteps come to behind him, not faltering in his movements as he removes all daggers, "patrol by yourself, my lord, is incredibly dangerous."

There is a pause, and he turns on his heels, "I am sorry, that I upset you. I did not mean to say that you were not beautiful before." She smiles sadly, seeing so he takes a step forward, shakily raising a hand to her shoulder. "Your station is not mere, I valued you as the head of my royal guard, I just wanted you to feel as if your position as my Queen was better so that you would not leave for the battle that will soon be upon us all."

She laughs slightly, "I must say I expected it to be sooner, rather than later."

"I am simply relieved that those in the fortress have gone quiet, and we can prepare," Thranduil states, moving his hand to gently cup her cheek.

There is a pause, as he gently smiles down to her, which she soon finds herself returning.

"You are forgiven," for the King rarely apologises, "and I am sorry for what I said, your comments made me feel unvalued, and I wanted you to feel the same."

He leans forward, and the two of them shut their eyes as they lean their foreheads against each other, "I hate that I made you feel that way, I will never do so again and the comments I made were unfair, you will be a wonderful mother and I know you would never put our child at risk."

"Good," she jests, making his smile widen, "and you, a wonderful father."
