Chapter 29

"Oh my dear, don´t you worry about Erebor," Dis said to Emilia. "You do what you have to do." Thorin growled. "Now hush you," she said to Thorin.

"I´m not worrying about Erebor," Emilia said. "For I know you will be here." Dis chuckled. Thorin did not look at them; he was at the windows in Emilia´s room looking out. Emilia looked at him. "Don´t worry, Emilia. I will take care of him, I will take care of them all." Emilia smiled and hugged her.

"Thank you Dis, and I am still sorry I have to leave the same day you arrived," Emilia said.

"I let you two be alone," Dis said and left. Emilia began to pack again. Nana came in the door and sat down on the bed.

"You´ll stay here, Nana. You have to look after some stubborn Dwarves," Emilia said to the cat. She looked at her owner with weary eyes. "And I believe you don´t want to leave Dwalin for long." Her ears peeked up by his name. Emilia chuckled and cuddled with her. She looked over at Thorin and saw him smiling. He looked at her. "What?" She asked. He walked over to her and took around her.

"You will find out when you return," he said.

"Is that just to say that I have to return quickly?" She asked.

"Mhm." She turned to him. He got her down on the bed, only landing on Nana. Thorin growled. "I´ve never liked that cat." Nana hissed at Thorin. Emilia laughed.

"She is not a fan of you either, like I am," Emilia said. She tried to get up. "Thorin."

"I´m sure the Elves can wait an hour or two," the King said and kissed her neck, going lower and lower. Emilia chuckled.

"I guess they can wait an hour," Emilia said.

"You´re all acting like I am never coming back," Emilia said to the Dwarves.

"You never know," Nori said. Emilia smiled and gave him another hug.

"You´re not getting rid of me that easily," she said. Emilia mounted her pony and looked over at Thorin. He was riding with her to the borders of Mirkwood. So were Dwalin and few other warriors. Emilia looked at the Dwarves, it was actually one Dwarf she haven´t said good-bye to. Kili came riding on a pony to them.

"Where are you going?" Thorin asked him.

"I´m coming with Emilia," Kili said. "Well just to the borders of the forest. Someone needs to take care of her." Fíli looked at his younger brother, trying to read his face of why he´s going. They then rode off.

Most of the time to Mirkwood, Thorin and Dwalin both promised that if anything would happen to Emilia, the Elves would be in big trouble. Emilia only rolled her eyes. After the Elves helped them, she still could not believe they did not trust them a little.

Emma and few other Elves were waiting for them at the border of the forest. Kili looked at them, hoping to see the red-haired Captain, but she was not here. Kili sat back on the forest disappointed.

"I´ll tell her you were here," Emilia whispered to Kili.

"What? Who?" Kili asked. Emilia raised an eyebrow.

"Please, don´t think I don´t know," she said. She dismounted her pony and walked over to Thorin.

"I will send a raven to hear news from you," Thorin said. "And from me." Emilia smiled.

"That is not what they are for, to carry love letters," she said. "Don´t trouble them. I will write you letters, don´t worry about it. And I will see you in few weeks, no more."

"Very well," he said and kissed her. He was about to speak but she took two fingers on his lips.

"I think we all have heard your threats," she said. Thorin smiled.

"You know me well, my love," he said. She went in his arms. "Please be careful. I don´t want to hear any bad news from you."

"I will be careful, I promise," she said. "Only if you are. I love you."

"I love you too." Emilia said good-bye to Kili and Dwalin and then she went over to her sister with her pony. She looked back one more time to Thorin before she disappeared into the dark forest.

"The King wishes to dine with you," Emma said. They walked through the corridors of the palace. Emilia had changed to a beautiful Elven dress and washed off the wild. "There are also few allies from the North there." Emilia nodded. They got to a great hall. There was one long table and there it sat Elves and Men eating.

Emilia followed Emma towards the King, where it was two empty chairs next to the King. "Lady Emilia," King Thranduil said. Emilia bowed to him.

"King Thranduil. Thank you for letting me stay here," Emilia said. The King smiled to her and motioned for her to sit. Prince Legolas sat on the opposite side, on the King´s right hand. Emilia looked around and noticed Captain Tauriel did not sit with them. She figured the Captain had duties to do.

"How was your trip? Hope it was safe," the King asked.

"Yes it was," Emilia said.

"Lady Emilia," a man said. He sat two Elves next to Legolas. "Where do you hail from?"

"Erebor," Emilia answered.

"Erebor?" The man asked and Emilia nodded. "A beautiful rose like you from Erebor? You are no Dwarf."

"No, I´m not," Emilia said. The food was already served and she was starving.

"You may speak polite, but maybe eat better wouldn´t be so harmful," Emma said. Emilia looked at her and they both smiled.

"I´ve has been with Dwarves, what do you expect?" Emilia asked. They both laughed. Emilia looked at the man and saw he was studying her. "Do you like what you see?" Emilia asked him.

"I beg your pardon?"

"Well, you are starring at me," she said. "And I do not like it one bit. You were never taught to… I don´t know, not stare at ladies?" Emma tried to hide away a smile and the King and his son looked at them amusing, so did the rest of the Elves.

"You are beautiful, my lady. I am sorry if I offended you," the man said. "Do you have a husband?" Emilia almost choked on the food. "Doesn´t seem so." He was looking at her with interest.

"You might want to be careful what you say," the King said.

"She has a sharp tongue?" The man asked.

"No, not that," King Thranduil said.

"The King has right," Emilia said. "You do want to be careful, unless you want a whole Dwarven army on your heels." The man looked at him confused. "I can tell you they are rough and deadly. Especially when they hear how you talk and look at the future Queen of Erebor." The Elves smiled at her words. "I do believe Thorin Oakenshield threaten anyone who will speak to me like that, or harm me."

"I did not know Thorin Oakenshield were taking in a wife," another man said.

"King Thorin Oakenshield," Emma corrected him. The man bowed to the Elf, yet the other man, who had taken interest in Emilia only looked at her. Until he bowed for forgiveness, Emilia ignored it.

"That´s my girl," Emma whispered, making the Elves chuckle.

After the dinner Emilia took the time to look around in the Palace. She found the library and on one wall she saw a drawing in a frame. It was of a very beautiful Elven lady. It had colours around it.

"That´s my mother," a voice said. Emilia turned quickly around and saw Legolas stand there. "No one ever knew why it was painted colours around her like that, like it was a part of her. We kept it a secret that she was a Keeper of the Elements, like you are." Legolas did not take his look of the painting.

"She must have been strong," Emilia said.

"She was."

"What killed her? If I may ask?" Emilia asked the Prince.

"The Elements did. She tried to save the forest, and the Elements took over," Legolas answered. He looked down as if he remembered. "I was there."

"I´m sorry to hear that," Emilia said.

"The Elves liked what you said at the dinner," Legolas said, switching the subject. "They thought it was quite amusing. No one likes that man, but we need him as an ally."

"I did not like the way he talked to me," Emilia answered.

"You shouldn´t, he´s an awful man," the Elf said. "He´s a Captain of all things too."

"Where is Captain Tauriel? I have not seen her," Emilia asked.

"She is on duty," Legolas answered. "Excuse me, Lady Emilia, but I´m going to retire now." Emilia nodded.

"Thank for telling me," she said. Legolas bowed and left. Emilia still stood there, looking at the drawing. She was not anything like Emma, which she was grateful for. She didn´t want Emma to look like her and that´s the reason King Thranduil have feelings for her.

Emilia heard the door to the library open again. She turned, expecting to see either Emma or Legolas. But instead she saw the man from the North, the Captain, closing the library door and locking it.

"You will take it easy on her?" Emma asked the King. "She haven´t used magic in a while, not much at least." The King smiled.

"You have nothing to fear, Emma," he said. "I am going to take her out of the palace, where the real threat is." Emma looked at him worried. He touched her face. "I won´t let anything come to harm her. Legolas´s mother died by her own powers, I won´t let that happen to your sister." Emma nodded, grateful for that.

They walked pass the library and they heard a loud noise from inside. As if someone crashed into a wall. They were going to open, but the door was locked. King Thranduil kicked the door with his foot, opening it and then walking in.

There they saw the Captain from the North lying on the ground. Emilia had her foot on his chest. "You are the worst, stupid, idiot you are," Emilia said to him. The man was moaning of the pain.

"W-What are you?" He asked.

"What is this?" The King demanded to know.

"I am your worst nightmare," Emilia said and took two steps away from him. The man stood up, staying away from her. "I´ve always wanted to say that…" She whispered. The man was about to go, but Thranduil pulled up his sword and pointed it at the man.

"Explain, now!" It had been said that the King was kinder now, he smiled more, but now he was back as everyone feared him.

"M-My King," the man began. King Thranduil rolled his eyes. He then noticed one of the tables was destroyed.

"You have one hour to leave my kingdom," the king said and looked back at the man. "If you´re not out of my forest by then, I will personally hunt you down. I can also assure you that the Captain of the guard will kill you, she is quite deadly you see. Especially those who harms woman." The man nodded and ran out of the library.

"Did he harm you?" Emma asked Emilia. "Oh I´m going after himself." Emilia took her arm.

"No, he didn´t. He didn´t even touch me, though he do know about my powers," Emilia said. "But, you can´t get out of the forest within an hour. It takes days, even on a horseback I guess it will take a day or two." King Thranduil smiled.

"I know," he said. "Excuse me, my ladies."

"He didn´t harm me," Emilia assured the king. "I knocked him backwards that´s all." The king nodded and left.

"Are you all right?" Emma asked her.

"Yes, of course I am," she answered. "I´m not totally defenceless." Emma took her out of the library and towards her room.

"And you´re fine with this? I will personally drag him to the cells if you want me too," Emma said.

"No, I´m fine Emma. It´s nothing to worry about, I mean it. Nothing happened."

"Why are you so calm?" Emma asked. "He could have raped you, and what if no one heard you?"

"He tried, Emma. But he didn´t even comes closer. If you didn´t notice his hands, his hands are burned," Emilia said. "I then used the Wind to knock him away. Sadly he landed on the table, which I will pay for. Why are you taking this all too serious?"

"Men are bastards," Emma said. Emilia stopped.

"Did you just say bastard? You never say that."

"This is not funny, Em!" Emma sighed. "About a year after I got in the safety of this palace, it was men here, but they were from the south. From Rohan…" She took a pause.

"Wait, what? Did one of them-"

"They tried, it was close," Emma interrupts her. Emma looked around. "Thranduil had seen the looks he gave me, and he followed. He beheaded the man when he was on top of me."

"Oh my, Emma…" Emilia took her hands. "I didn´t know that."

"It is a lot of things we need to catch up to. I am after all, two hundred years older than you." Emilia laughed.

"Yeah, you are getting old." Emma frowned and Emilia laughed even more.
