Chapter 1

Bored. Legolas was so bored. He sat there at the head of the table next to his father listening to a man drab on about trade negotiations or something. He looked out the window and saw the most beautiful day, sunny and hot but he felt a cool breeze, he could practically hear the trees calling his name! Maybe he would bring the guards out for a training session today, it was quiet, they could work on some new strategies, or maybe he could go out on a canoe trip. or…

"Legolas?" Said Thranduil

"Oh excuse me. Yes?" Legolas stammered

"Mr. Nook here would like to know your opinion on the negotiations" said Thranduil through clenched teeth

"Uhh... I...Agree" Legolas quietly said

"Too?" Asked Thranduil

"I agree we should keep our previous years negotiations?" guessed Legolas weakly

The whole council stared at Legolas with wide eyes and puzzled faces.

"Well... I think that's a good time to call a lunch break. We shall meet again after noon." Thranduil stated hastily

Everyone walked out of the room murmuring to one another poking a curious eye at the prince. Legolas quickly walked with the crowd trying to escape but rolled his eyes as his father said

"Excuse me Legolas can I speak with you for a moment?"

Very unwillingly Legolas walked back to his father

"Were you even listening to what we were saying?" Said an angry king "Did you even know why this meeting was called to order?" He stood with his arms crossed looking down on the prince.

Legolas stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the floor "well I thought..."

"The meeting was called because last year the route we chose to trade on had an orc invasion and some of our guard was injured. Do you not remember? Today's purpose was to figure out a new route. Does this ring a bell?" the king said bitterly

"Oh yes. I do recall these happenings..."

"So you understand my embarrassment then? "Said Thranduil

"Yes I..."

"Agree we should keep our previous years negotiations?" Thranduil scoffed. He rolled his eyes and looked Legolas straight in the eyes "Go to your room and stay there until I speak to you."

"What about the rest of the meeting?" inquired Legolas

"You are not invited." Stated Thranduil plainly

"But father I..."

"Absolutely not! You are not invited to the meeting or lunch! Actually you are to receive all your meals in your room until I've decided..."

"You dare treat me like a child grounded to their room?" Legolas interrupted

"Well if MY SON acts like a child then he will be treated as such"

Legolas stared at his father mouth agape in utter surprise "I will not comply!"

"You dare undermine my authority?" Thranduil said two inches away from the prideful prince

"I do not undermine it, I ignore it" Legolas spat staring his father straight in the eyes

Thranduil formed his mouth into a fine line and stared at Legolas with pure hatred before he took his right hand and slapped Legolas in the face, way too hard.

Whipping his head back up, Legolas stared at his father and showed no sign of pain, shock, or anger. Instead he stood up tall and exited the room.

Thranduil looked after Legolas in utter shock. After the prince left he stared at his red hand and replayed the scene in his head over and over…
