Chapter 4~ Day out with the prince
Mirrawen had never had so much fun in all her life. She could not stop thinking of Legolas and the looks he gave her. He called her beautiful for goodness sake. And that type of compliment is used mainly with people that have the beauty of someone like Galadriel.
She didn't think she would have that much fun but she was defiantly looking forward to another dance. She was so tired from all the excitement of the night that she finally went to bed.
She woke up to the wonderful, warm sunlight shinning on her. She stretched and got out of bed. Thinking and recalling the other night. She ate some breakfast and then hopped in the tub for a nice relaxing bath.
When she got out she put on her nice dressy riding outfit. It hugged her figure. It was leggings and a tunic with a coat like dress over the top. Her leggings and her coat like dress were navy blue and the tunic was light blue with silver lining it. She looked stunning.
Then she went and did her hair into a half ponytail with a couple loose strands that framed the side of her face right in front of her ears. She wanted to be ready as soon as she could because the prince never gave a time frame. So better safe than sorry.
She gave one more glance in the mirror and then she went to the balcony in her room and started to sing a song her mother had used to sing to her before she went to bed every night.
She missed her parents so much and she rarely talked about them because it brought up painful memories. The only souls that knew about her parents and what happened to them were Mel and Lil. Even when she was alone would cry because she missed them so much. She rarely talked about them even to Mel and Lil.
Legolas was making his way to Mirrawens fleet. He had taken note the other night when she walked home. As he was walking he heard the most beautiful sound coming from down the road. He followed it and sure enough it led to her home. He went to the back of her fleet where the balcony was and watched her till she finished.
When she had finished he smiled and startled her. " My lady your voice is enchanting I'd be careful or you'll have a whole bunch of suitors swarmed in your backyard begging for more." He teased as he was indeed mesmerized by her voice.
"Are you ready my lady?" he called up to her. She nodded and made her way down to the front door. "Your quite the charmer your highness" she said as she made her way next to him.
" I can't help it when I have a beautiful star in my presence." He said as he kissed her hand. She blushed and looked at the ground. "My lady are you blushing? He asked as if he already knew the answer.
She quickly changed the subject. " So where shall we go today your highness?" They were walking along on the road when he changed his direction toward a cluster of trees. He looked at her at her with a Cheshire cat smile then she looked at him in utter confusion.
He led her into a little glade with a lake and waterfall. It was so beautiful. It was as beautiful as her little spot in the forest only a little prettier. "This is where I come to get away from it all," he said as he sat down by the edge of the water. " It's not all peaches and cream being a prince, it can actually be quite overwhelming you know."
She was really surprised they had something in common. They both had a place of refuge. She was starting to relax more around him now. She smiled and sat next to him.
"Its wonderful just to come here and take a load off you know, do you have a place where you seek quiet?" he asked as he played with the water. She looked at him he was so beautiful. "Yes as a matter of fact I do, but no where as beautiful as this place." "Maybe sometime I will show you it."
What was she saying! That was her one place no one knew about and she was about to tell someone about it. I mean she didn't even tell Mel or Lil about it. But what could it hurt to tell him.
"That would be wonderful." "Why do you seek the quiet Mirrawen ?" he asked."Please call me Mirra that's what my friends call me."
"Ok but if I call you Mirra you have to call me legolas. Deal?" he said " But your highness it would be disrespectful." Mirrawen said as was only stating a fact.
"Of course not it's only if you do not have my consent first, so please just legolas." He said pleading to her. She smiled and shook her head. " But you never answered my question. Why do you seek quiet Mirra."
As he asked this she looked at the ground and started to get teary eyed. "Mirra what's the matter did I say something wrong?" She shook her head. "No, Legolas it isn't you." She said as she semi smiled trying to show that it meant nothing.
"Do you mind if I ask what troubles you so?" legolas asked concerned etched all over his face. He laid his hand on hers and lifted her chin up with his other hand so he could look into her eyes. He truly looked concerned.
"Nothing I will tell you some other time ok lets just enjoy the beauty of this place," Mirrawen said as she smiled and stuck her feet in the water. "As you wish" he said. They had sat there and chatted all day long about how royal life was and how Mirrawens friends drive her insane at times. They discussed a lot. Then it finally was starting to get dark. "Legolas it's getting dark and I need to get back home." As much as she hated to say it, it was true.
" Yes I to must get home before they start to worry about me." "Last time I came out here to be here all night my dad sent a search party for me." "You should have seen his face when I got home, he could have pummeled me for staying out so late I'll never forget that night." He chuckled as he could still remember the night like it happened just yesterday when indeed it was like 200 years ago.
They both laughed as they walked back to Mirrawens fleet. As they got to her door she turned around and looked at him. He looked so beautiful and with the moonlight on him he glowed like an angel. "I had a wonderful time today I'm looking forward to doing it again real soon."
"Yes I to had a great time would you mind seeing me again tomorrow?" he asked. " Of course I'd love that." She said as she gazed into his eyes. "I'll come by a little before noon." He said and she nodded.
They stood there for a couple of minutes, which seemed like hours to her just staring at each other. Then he gave her a chaste kiss. And caressed her cheek.
"Quel Kaima arwenamin"(sleep well my lady) legolas said then turned and headed his was back to the palace. Mirrawen sighed and went inside and closed the door.
