Chapter 4
There were many elves present at the feast to welcome the Lord of Imladris. The grand hall were decorated in such a way that it looks like heaven.
A choir of elves were singing softly, loud enough to not distrupt any conversation that seems to be going on across the room.
Lord Elrond were talking leisurely with Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel when he saw his childern entered the hall with Haldir and Prince Legolas.
Yes, Lord Elrond recognized the prince because he had seen him during his trips to Mirkwood. Even though the prince had grown up a lot since the last time he saw him, Lord Elrond was still able to recognized him.
But what was he doing with the twins? 'I guess the princeling had decided to make some new friends after all,' he thought.
But he wondered where was his son's fiancee, Lady Halirien? They were always together during feasts like this. He knew there must be news he hadn't heard from his son yet.
"Ada! There you are," Elrohir said as he was the first to embraced the Lord.
"Nice to see you too, Elrohir, Elladan," the Lord greeted them as Elladan also embraced his father.
"Greetings, Lord Elrond," Haldir greeted the Lord.
"Nice to see you too, Haldir. I'm still waiting to hear what trouble you've landed yourself into now with the twins here," Elrond teased.
All three grimaced at the Lord of Imladris. They don't really wan to recount the troubles they've caused in Lorien but the Lord is bound to find out.
"Prince Legolas, It's nice to see you again. It has been quite a while. Fancy meeting you here," Elrond said when he saw the elfling was quiet.
"Ada, we didn't know you knew Prince Legolas?" Elladan asked, surprised as his father never mentioned anything about knowing the prince.
Lord Elrond only smiled at his sons.
Legolas smiled and greeted Elrond,"Greetings my Lord. It has been a while, hasn't it?"
"Yes, look how you've grown. Ai, your father must missed those moments were you were only a toddler elf. Mirkwood's own mischief maker. Still at it I suppose?" Elrond teased.
Legolas only smiled and blushed at the comment. Then he said,"Only when I'm back at home with my brothers to terrorize, my Lord."
Elrond laughed at the statement as he remembered how the princes of Mirkwood pamper the youngest one. None were spared from being the victims that prankster. Not even the King. And of course, Lord Elrond himself whenever he was visiting Mirkwood.
But he knew, beneath the heart of that prankster, is a heart of gold. Kind and big-hearted, though unknown to most, Legolas would give a part of his heart to anyone who will ever need it. A nature lover, Legolas is pretty much protected by the nature itself in the woods of Mirkwood.
'Surely he would be loved by everyone who met him, if not for his condition,' Elrond thought sadly.
"I'm sure you elflings would love to mingle around right? No point in hanging around an old elf like me. Go on then," Elrond shooed them away to enjoy the feast. He wanted to talk to Elladan though.
All of them turned to and started to walk away when they heard Lord Elrond say,"Except you Elladan. I need to speak with you first."
Elladan nodded and stayed behind while the others walked away.
"What is it Ada?" Elladan inquired. He wanted this to get by so he can go back to accompanying Legolas. He knew Legolas is shy and he wanted Legolas to enjoy himself tonight.
"Where is Lady Halirien, Elladan? A feast such as today, surely she will attend?" Elrond asked.
Elladan didn't know how to break the news to his father as he knew the Lord is very much taken with his ex-fiancee. He stared at his feet as he try to figure out how to break it gently to his father.
"Well?" Elrond pushed.
"I don't know how to say this Ada but Halirien and I are no longer together," Elladan said quickly.
"What? Why? What happened?" Elrond asked again wanting to know more to why the negagement were off, as a father should.
"Well, apparently she found SOMEONE new. But you know what, Ada? I think I'm better off without her anyway," Elladan explained.
Elrond looked at his son and saw the determination in his eyes. He knew that look all to well.
"Fine then. Found someone new now, have you?" Elrond asked, grinning.
"No, of course not," Elladan answered quickly.
"Sure, sure. Now go enjoy yourself," Elrond said with a twinkle in his eyes.
Elladan quickly moved away to join his brother and friends. Most importantly, Legolas. He just have to find him in this big hall.
Suddenly he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see Halirien standing in front of him.
"Elladan, we need to talk," Halirien said with a serious tone in her voice.
Elladan frowned. The last time he had heard that sentence, Halirien had wanted to break up with him. What does she want now? Surely she can't break up with him gain?
Elladan followed Halirien as she led them to the garden behind the grand hall.
"What do you want, Lirien?" Elladan asked cautiously.
But without any warning, Halirien pushed him to the wall and started kissing him.
But Elladan managed to push her away before exclaiming," Just what the hell do you think you're doing, Halirien?!"
Halirien smiled sweetly as she tried to stand nearer to Elladan but Elladan moved away from her.
"I missed you Elladan," she began to say.
"We broke up , Halirien. And if I remember corrctly, YOU broke up with me! What happen to your new elf that you supposedly love?" Elladan hissed.
"It didn't work out. I love you, Elladan," Halirien began. Elladan just looked at her, not saying anything.
"Can't we get back together, Elladan? You know we're meant to be with each other," Halirien pleaded with tears in her eyes.
Elladan looked at Halirien, his heart somewhat touched at the scene before him. But he knew their relationship was never meant to be.
"No... We broke up. That's it. No point in trying to start something that is dead," Elladan explained.
But Halirien could not have any of that, she flung herself on Elladan, arms on his neck and sobbed unshamedly.
Elladan pry her arms off himself and backed away from her.
"Please don't cry Halirien. You were right you know, tis just not meant to be. I'm sorry," Elladan said as he started to walk back to the feast.
"Did you find someone new? It's that it?" Halirien insisted.
"Don't patronize me Halirien. I'm not you. I just don't have anymore feelings for you," Elladan explained before turning around to walk away from her.
"The prince?" Halirien asked. At the mention about the prince, Elladan stopped and turn to face Halirien.
"What about the prince?" Elladan asked nervously.
"I saw how you looked at him when you entered the hall just now. And then there's the... rumours," Halirien said slyly.
Elladan could no longer stand the accusations. At this moment, he felt disgusted with Halirien. So he left the garden to rejoin the feast.
Halirien glared at the back of Elladan, vowing to get her revenge.
