sorry sorry...this chapter took a little longer than intended...
CHAPTER 38
Celeborn did not move from his standing place in the gardens. Galadriel thought he would see reason? He shook his head. He would not allow the binding to remain. He would find a way to unbind his daughter from that Advisor. He began to walk back toward the house, searching for Elrond. His search came up empty and instead he found himself walking toward the healing wing. He opened the doors and saw his daughter sitting there beside the sleeping Erestor. Elithraniel glowered at her father.
"May I assist you Lord Celeborn?"
Celeborn stepped closer.
"Yes, Lady Elithraniel, you may. First, why was I not notified that you were bound?"
"You would have forbad it. I would not let Erestor die."Elithraniel spat.
Celeborn growled.
"He is not worth saving Elithraniel. Do you not know what he is? What he has done?"
Elithraniel rolled her eyes.
"Tell me no tales. I am not an elfling."
Celeborn watched as Erestor woke, knowing he had heard them. Erestor turned to Celeborn with a pleading look in his eyes.
"Do not tell her Lord Celeborn, I beg of you."
Elithraniel turned to Erestor, wondering now what his secret was.
"Erestor, what is it?"
Erestor did not get the chance to respond. Celeborn did it for him.
"He was a kinslayer, Elithraniel. Only cleared of that title after Elrond took him in."
Elithraniel was in shock. Why had she never heard this before?
TBC...
yes I know...Erestor is so NOT a kinslayer...
