Chapter 4: It's Your Choice
Lirael went back to her chamber in defeat. Dinner came sooner than expected and Legolas escorted her to dinner. (A/N once again -_-) She faked a smile the entire time until it came to the conversation about their marriage.
"Legolas have you decided to marry this wonderful maiden? I would surely take advantage of having you in Mirkwood more often if you had a wife to look after, possibly some children too." Thranduil said which caused some laughter from around the table.
"I would love to marry Lirael as long as the lady wishes it." Legolas said looking at Lirael with affectionate eyes.
Lirael had every right to decline Legolas' offer of marriage but the only thing that escaped her mouth was, "Of course."
"Wonderful!" Thranduil laughed.
Legolas looked at her with confused eyes, he knew she didn't want to marry him but why was she making this decision? " Love I wish to speak to you after you are finished." Legolas whispered in her ear.
"Oh but my lord I'm sure it is nothing that everyone else can hear." She said loud enough to get some attention.
"Something between you and me my dear." He said coolly.
"Oooohhhh well if it is that important than I suppose so." Lirael said calmly as she got up and followed Legolas to his chamber.
"Lirael I thought you did not want to marry me." Legolas said as they entered his room.
"I still do not." Lirael said delicately.
"Then why Lirael? Why?" Legolas said putting his hands on her shoulders.
"It was for my mother." Lirael said.
"Your mother?" Legolas said gently.
"Yes, she is always putting me up to these marriages but I used to always get out of them somehow. She would get depressed that I did not have a husband and kept on putting me up to more of the arrangements. She is all I have left in the world. I could not go on without her." She said suppressing her tears.
"Lirael I'm not going to force you to marry me." Legolas said lifting her chin starring into her eyes.
"You are not forcing me, I am choosing to marry you." She said as she broke the stare turning elsewhere.
"Look at me Lirael," he said as he turned her heads towards him. "I love you, and I wouldn't want to hurt you. If forcing you to marry me or choosing to marry me is not what you want then you need not do it. I love you." He finished.
"Tell me Legolas. You say you love me but is that only because of my face is fair." She said with an inquiring look.
"Trust me my love that isn't even half of why I love you. I love you because you are affectionate, charming, share your feelings with others, and well because you are you and I love that." Legolas said with a grin.
Lirael smiled back, what was she thinking she could not give in to him so easily.
"Your words are flattering my lord but I will not except the fact that you love me unless you prove it." She said coldly.
Legolas sighed, "Why do you not believe not me? Have you not heard the saying love at first sight?"
"No." she said cruelly.
"Are you toying with me? Do you think this is a game?" Legolas said getting angry in his own turn.
"I am playing no game nor am I toying with you." Lirael shot back walking towards the door.
Legolas stopped her dead in her tracks, "I will make you mine and I will make you love me." He said back to her giving her an intense hot blooded kiss. "Never." She said returning the kiss. Legolas laughed and strengthened the kiss more until his desire could wait no more.
