A/N: Ok, Chapter 2 has a mistake in it!  It is totally my fault.  When the officer says 'It is true that a servant named Eldalote worked here 25 years ago, and it is true that she was lost.', it should say 65 years, not 25!!!  Please excuse this, it was my entire fault.  Hope it makes more sense now!!!  Also, it has come to my attention that when elves sleep together, it means they are married.  So, I figured, what the hell, I'll make them married!!!

Legolas and Amarna walked down the hall in silence.  He was showing her to her quarters.  It was a very awkward silence.  He was still marveling in the fact that he had a daughter. 

'I was going to tell everyone, you know.  That we had married.  I was going to tell Father the day she disappeared.  I had expected her for dinner, and then we would have gone and told him.  When she did not turn up for dinner, when she could not be found, I…' He swallowed the lump in his throat.  He felt the need to explain himself further. 'I thought she had run away, though I could not understand why.  I figured that she must not have loved me as much as she had let on.  I now know how wrong I was.  I am sorry.'

Amarna looked at him and was surprised to see a faint glitter in his eyes that she could tell were tears.

'It is alright.  I understand.  I hope that you understand why she did not, could not, come back.  She always hoped you would come and look for her, though.  And now I know why you did not.  I am sure that her soul is in peace.  She always told me that having me around was like having a piece of you with her.  She would talk about you a lot, though she never told me your name.  I knew you must have been wonderful to her.  She would always tell me that when I was old enough we would come back and find you.  I knew she did not mean that however.  It would have hurt too much.  She told me once that she figured you had moved on.  After that, she never spoke of it again and instead pretended that we would come to you.  I do not know how I knew, but I did know we would not.  In a small sense, I am glad this all happened, for I am sure I would not have met you otherwise.' Amarna said, smiling.  Legolas smiled back.

They had reached her living quarters by then.  Legolas stopped outside the door and turned to her.

'I am sure you will find everything you need.  I will be back in 2 hours to escort you to dinner.  After that, you and I will go and see Father and make arrangements.'

'Arrangements for what?'

'For your coronation.  If there is anything else you need, there are servants at hand for you.'

'Thank you, Legolas.'

Legolas looked at her, as though considering something of great importance.

'Please call me Ada.'

Amarna looked pleased.  'Are you sure?'

'Yes, Selde.' He smiled down at her.  She smiled back, opened her door, paused, turned back and gave him a strong but brief hug, and went into her quarters.

True to his word, Legolas returned in 2 hours.  He knocked once on her door, and then went in.  Amarna was sitting at her dressing table, brushing her hair absentmindedly.  She looked up when he entered and stood.  She was wearing a dress, no doubt brought by the seamstress.  It was light pink, setting off her hair exceptionally well.

'Are you ready Amarna?'

'Yes.'

'Very well.'

They walked through the halls and down a flight of stairs before coming to the dining hall.  Amarna found she was very nervous.  How was the court going to treat her?  Would she be accepted by them?  Legolas must have noticed the difference in her breathing pattern.

'It will be alright.  They will love you.'

'Are you sure?  What if they do not?  What if they treat me horribly?  Oh, I shouldn't have done this.'

'Done what?'

'Come here.  It was a mistake.  I am not a princess, nor should I be.  I am just Amarna, a, a, a…'

'A princess.  You will learn Amarna.  They will love you, I am sure.  It was not a mistake.  I am sure that Eldalote's spirit is with you, guiding you.  She will not let anything happen to you.'

Amarna looked at him and nodded.  He opened the door, and in they went…

A/N: I tried to make this longer, I really did.  Hope you like it.  Please tell me…R/R!!!!!!!!!!!!!
