Several days later after your reunion with Fili you were in your bakery as you heard the horn blowing from the throne room. That meant everyone has to be there since there was a big announcement. So you stopped working and left your bakery, heading to the throne room.

As you passed other dwarves they were as confused as you about that sudden announcing. So it happened to be that Thorin was dressed in his noble robes, standing in front of his throne. To his right, you saw his sister, Dis and Fili and Kili. Then on his left there were several dwarrowdames in beautiful dresses. You frowned at that sight of all of them. But most importantly you furrowed your eyebrows at the expression on Fili's face.

Your fingers searched for the braided strand of hair and as they actually found it you gripped the bead, his bead, tightly. The more time passed, you got more scared because you realized how these dwarf ladies were glancing at the young princes, especially Fili.

Finally Thorin held up his hands to speak. Everyone got silent and he started. "We will have a big feat tonight as we have special guests today, these lovely ladies from the Ironhills." And he swayed his arm to his left, making the women all giggle and bowing down lightly.

All dwarves were shouting nice words, celebrating that they could expect a nice evening.

"We will drink, eat and dance tonight. And tomorrow I will be more than happy to announce the engagement of my heir, Fili, with one of these ladies here." Thorin closed his speech.

Your head turned to look at Fili, he was as shocked as you. Your heart sunk into your stomach and you let your hand fall down from the strand of your hair. Instantly, he searched for you in the crowd and when he finally found you, he mouthed your name. So he didn't even talk to Thorin like he promised, you thought to yourself. Tears were burning in your eyes, breathing heavily, you just turned around and left the throne room, leaving all these celebrating dwarves behind.

As you arrived at your bakery, you closed it for the rest of the day. A lot of dwarves came along and knocked on the door but you didn't pay any attention to them.

Your bags were packed and you had finally stopped crying. You could hear the celebration, the noise, the music, the laughter. But that only made your heart break even more into pieces.

You only had one thing left to do. Sneaking through the halls, you stopped at Fili's room. You took the strand of hair into your hand, lovingly looking at it as some tears fell down your cheeks. You removed it and just wanted to place it onto the ground in front of Fili's door when you heard someone say your name. "Y/N? What are you doing here?" It was Kili, he approached you and looked confused at your packed bags. "Did you also run away from that feast? Sometimes these dwarves are too loud, even for me." Kili laughed, trying to lighten that situation.

You turned to Kili and smiled a bit at him. He came closer when he saw the tears on your cheeks. "Y/N…" But you interrupted him and took his hand into yours. "Kili….give this your brother, please." You placed the bead into Kili's hand and suppressed a sob. "What is this?" The young prince looked down at his palm, his eyes widened and then he looked at you, seeing the still braided strand of hair. "Oh, no, don't tell me, you two…"

He didn't finish his sentence, he didn't need to. "No, you don't have to leave. Come with me to Fili and we talk to our Uncle." Kili looked helplessly. "Now, I know why he is so sad and restless. Please, don't go."

You let out a sad laugh and shook your head. "I can't, Thorin told him in the past already to leave me. Stubborn as I amI thought it would be real this time." You wiped away some tears and then hugged Kili tightly. "Tell him to be happy and give him his bead back." You released Kili and looked at him. "Thank you. Goodbye, Kili." Quickly you grabbed your bags and headed down the hall, past the celebration. You heard your name being echoed in the halls but you just speeded up and left Erebor.
