Part One- The Theft
Chapter Three- In Which the Crown is Found but the Culprit is Not
"Father, I have had the servants searched, and there has been no sign of your crown," Legolas said, looking vaguely to the ceiling. Thranduil huffed.
"Somebody has taken it… Who would have done so?" Thranduil began pacing. The servants are the only one with access to my quarters, none of my councilors would dare even think of doing something like this, the guards wouldn't either…"
"Ada… do you think maybe you could have just.. I don't know… misplaced it?" Legolas ventured.
Thranduil froze and slowly turned to Legolas. "I don't misplace things."
Legolas ducked his head down, for he knew better than to argue with his father. That would only lead to terrible things, and perhaps, Solitary Confinement… Legolas shuddered at the thought alone.
"Are you sure you didn't… overlook it, or something?" Legolas ventured again.
Thranduil sneered. "I don't overlook."
Legolas shuffled his feet and looked around. "Maybe a spider stole it?"
Thranduil scoffed. "Really Legolas? A spider?"
Legolas looked down, feeling rather ashamed of himself.
Suddenly a guard ran into the throne room. "My lord!"
Thranduil looked to him and flicked his hand. The guard bowed hastily and said, "Tarukka is at the gates."
Thranduil raised an eyebrow. "Already? He should not have returned for at least another week…" Turning away from Legolas, he began the dull trek towards the gates of his palace.
He turned over in his mind, the possibility of having misplaced or overlooked his crown, but that was inconceivable… wasn't it? Well… there was that one time he accidentally left Legolas in the wine cellar. His poor son had been distraught…
Shaking his head, Thranduil came to a stop at the gates and carelessly gestured the guards away, before moving through them towards the bridge. There at the end, was his beloved elk- Tarukka.
Smiling a little, Thranduil came to a stop in front of his friend.
"Tarukka, what brings you here?"
The elk snorted.
Thranduil's eyes shifted to the antlers of the ancient elk and he barely restrained himself from facepalming.
There, hanging on the right antler of Tarukka the elk, was his missing crown.
Thranduil thought very hard about how that got there.
And then suddenly he remembered…
