Chapter 2 - Night Talk
*
Legolas walked down the halls away from Healing Wing and off to where he knew Haranuil currently resided. When Haranuil was not at his castle in the southern vector of Mirkwood, he held a room in a higher floor by Legolas's own.
"Lord Haranuil?" Legolas said, knocking softly on the door and hoping he was there.
"Yes…" came the cynical voice of the overlord as he opened the door, but his voice changed as her saw the Prince standing there, "Your Highness? How may I help you?"
Haranuil, although he was bigger, he was by no means taller or more imperial than the Prince. He seemed to cower and sneer under the Royal's gaze.
"May I come in." It sounded like a question, but Legolas, by no means, meant it as one.
Haranuil stepped aside. The Prince came through the door, and saw a room much similar to his own and many others in the palace. He sat in a chair opposite the one Haranuil sat in.
"I come in regard to what I witnessed earlier today." The Prince began, and not kindly at that, "It is something I have never seen in this palace before."
Haranuil could offer no explanation, so he merely let the Prince go on, berating him even more, "I don not know what has possessed you to treat anyone, even a servant, like that, but I have never seen anything so appalling my life. If I ever hear again that you have done something like this again, even from the lowest servant child, I will kill you myself."
Legolas sat calmly while Haranuil processed this information, knowing full well the Prince was not lying. Legolas hated to be like this towards anyone, but in a situation as this, there was nothing else he could do.
"I apologize profusely for my actions…" Haranuil said in a falsely humble voice, "I lost my temper at the disobedient girl, my lord, I am truly sorry."
"I've no doubt you've done it before, but I will forgive your actions for now, Haranuil…" Legolas said, thinking the whole time that he would never forgive this cruel person, but he had to find a way to secure Elessa and this was it.
"Yes, my Prince?" Haranuil pressed.
"Elessa. The girl." Legolas said, "I am removing her from your control and placing her in my own."
"If that is your wish, my lord," Haranuil said with pursed lips. He did not want to lose such a beauty, but he had no choice.
"Yes, I insist on it. If you ever lay a hand on her, you will answer to my Father." Legolas vowed, "On my word, you will. Have a good evening, Haranuil."
The Lord stood up and bowed to the Prince as he left, but he felt no respect at all. He would get that girl back some day and he would make both the Prince and her pay.
