"I did not get a chance to tell you before CONGRATULATIONS!!!" Legolas said to Banquo giving him a hug.
"Thank you my friend. I could not have done it without you. Indeed you are dearer to me than a brother and I wish you equal happiness" Banquo said with a wink.
Legolas beamed, "if you do not watch what you say, you will surely make us both cry!" he said just as Adelaide joined them.
"Who would have thought it would end this way" she said putting her arm in Banquo's and looked at Legolas. Legolas had told Adelaide about his suspicions about his father and aunt getting in the way of Adelaide and Banquo's relationship and made them tell Adelaide the truth about why Banquo broke it off. After that, Banquo's grandfather passed away and left his father a handsome. Suddenly Banquo became Princess Versa's favourite person.
"This is just the beginning my wife, Legolas has yet to find his soul mate" Banquo said emphasising the word 'wife' and winking at Legolas. Ever since the ceremony, he had not stopped saying it.
"When he does he will be as happy as we are my husband" she smiled.
Legolas gave a weak smile and looked away. Inside he was wounded but he could not show his hurt to them. He was very happy for them, more than they could ever know but even though Layla was out of his life for good, his heart was still broken. But he wanted this day to be perfect for them and if that means covering up his broken heart, then so be it!
Banquo could see the hurt in his friend's eyes and said "Do not trouble yourself Legolas! My wife and I will find someone for you"
"Speaking of which, I saw someone earlier which I didn't expect to see at all" Adelaide exclaimed.
"Who?" Legolas and Banquo said at the same time.
"Layla!"
Legolas's heart began to race. He couldn't feel his legs. 'It cannot be true!' he thought 'what would she be doing here?'
"Where, where?" he asked walking backward as if to go.
"Right here by the entrance of the palace", she said as he turned to leave
"She ran in the direction of Moltolas I believe" Adelaide managed to call out before he began to run.
Legolas was ecstatic. He ran and ran. 'She's back' he thought, laughing to himself and remembering the words his sister had told him.
Finally, he got to the river. He saw her sitting on the ground staring straight ahead over the river. She was so still that she looked like a statue and didn't hear him move towards her.
"Layla" he whispered.
She turned her tear stained face toward him slowly. He walked up to her and she stood up, moving away. With every step he took toward her, she took a step back as if she was afraid of him and he couldn't understand why.
he stopped moving. "Layla, you are back" he said with a smile.
"Yes"
"What of your fiancé?"
"My father has died"
"I am sorry"
"Be not sorry. Now I am free" she said bitterly and looked away from him.
He stood there for a while in silence playing with the sleeve of his shirt.
"Are you moving back to Mirkwood?" he asked trying to make conversation.
"I thought I could"
"What's changed?"
"Everything"
Legolas wondered what she meant by that but said no more. There was another long silence but this time, more intense.
"Congratulations" Layla said, breaking the silence, "I hope you will be happy together"
"What do you mean?" Legolas was now more confused than ever.
Layla looked at him with a puzzled face and putting her hands on her hips said, "I mean you and Adelaide. I saw her today. She seems very happy"
Legolas's face grew serious. "Layla, do you think I'm married to Adelaide?"
Layla tried to answer but instead she burst out crying unable to control herself.
Legolas gave a loud cheerful laugh. He moved quickly to Layla and grabbed her hands pulling her into an embrace.
"You have not married her?" she said through sobs
"No Layla I am not married to Adelaide. She is happily married Banquo"
She fell into another hysterical fit of tears burying her face in his chest. They stood there embracing for a while; all that could be heard was Layla's soft sobs.
After a while, Layla broke away and wiped her eyes. "I am sorry" she said softly, "I have come back to ask for your forgiveness for what I put you through and."
"And what?" Legolas asked curiously.
"And to see if you still feel the same way as before"
"You mean you want to know if I still love you?"
She nodded.
"Layla you will always have my heart", he said with a serious face, "but do I have yours?"
"You do" she said and leaned over and slowly kissed him on the lips letting her heart feel the love and passion he expressed through his kiss. She had not felt so loved by anyone before and let the kiss go on longer than she intended then slowly broke away. They stood happily gazing into each other's eyes for a few minutes then Layla said "so Adelaide is now married to Banquo?"
Legolas laughed and said "yes. His father has inherited a large fortune and suddenly he is worthy enough to marry a princess. But Banquo holds no grudges and all is forgotten. Everyone is pleased with the match"
Layla smiled.
"Now come with me my dear" Legolas said taking her hand, "I want you to meet my family!"
"I did not get a chance to tell you before CONGRATULATIONS!!!" Legolas said to Banquo giving him a hug.
"Thank you my friend. I could not have done it without you. Indeed you are dearer to me than a brother and I wish you equal happiness" Banquo said with a wink.
