A/n Okay major apologies are owed, I'm SO sorry for not updating sooner, but working an 8 hour day took more out of me then I thought it would, but you don't want to read these authors notes, you want to read the chapter so hear you go!
Little elf
Chapter twenty-seven
Elle deftly braided her hair back from her face, leaving to ringlets to frame it. The braids were knotted in a small bun, gold clips with white flowers holding it securely. A silver tiara with white and royal blue stones perched precariously atop her head.
Her dress was cyan with a silver gauze, its hem touching the tips of pointed silver slippers.
"Lady Elle?"
Edwi stood at the door with an unsure look on her face, torn between coming in or staying out.
"Yes Edwi?" Elle asked gesturing for her to come in.
"Lady Elle…I wanted…I wanted to ask you…ask you about captain Haldir."
"What about him?"
"Two weeks ago, I saw you both on the bed."
Elle frowned "Haldir and I? When?"
"No, Mithglin."
"I thought we were talking about Haldir."
"We are" Edwi looked quite distressed "you are Haldir's meln, nut you…with Mithglin…and…"
"Don't worry" a laugh "that was just a misunderstanding, Mithglin knows that, it doesn't matter."
"My Lady, I have been a ladies made before and such a thing has never happened."
"That's why I insist I'm not a lady."
"No, your majesty-"
"Don't call me that."
"-You do not understand, it is most inappropriate. Although it is not up to me with what you do, I must say that you are not in the way of a princess, and people might start to question…" she trailed off
Elle's eyes flashed "are you questioning my" *royalness?* "title of Princess?" *Sorry Edwi, but if you start to question me God knows what would happen*
"N…No, Lad- Princess Elle. It is just." Edwi stuttered mortified at insulting her superior
"Don't worry." Soothed Elle already feel guilt rise up her throat "I know what you mean, and it is inappropriate for a Princess is it not? I'm acting more like a sylvan elf…then me. But don't worry I'm not being stupid. Cheer up, keep your chin high and you'll be fine."
Edwi nodded weakly, still frowning "Well I guess I'll see you later, probably quite late, I think I'll get on well with Haldir's parents." With a smile Elle left
* * *
"You are late." Elle said, looking at Haldir with mock disappointment.
"I'm sorry your majesty"
"I'm glad to see that you know both my title and your position below it." Elle mocked
"You are such a great meln, you know that?"
"I know, aren't you a box full of compliments today?"
"But there is so much to compliment." he took her hand in his
"Like what?" she asked coyly
"Your hands are soft and gentle." He kissed her knuckles "I could drown in your eyes. They seem to go on for leagues, and your lips-" Elle could feel his breath against her lips
'You know we aren't actually meln?' she slipped into English
'Yes, but Rumil is about 16 feet behind you, so I thought it would be appropriate to act as if we were in love.'
'You don't love me?'
'No'
'Good' She kissed him on the tip of his nose "We had better go to your house. Your atara has spent the whole day, no doubt, preparing for this meal"
"Yes, she has." His arm wrapped itself around her waist protectively
'Did you mean any of those compliment earlier?'
'Of course' he looked at her seriously 'in the short time I've know you I've fallen in love with you, as a friend.' His grip tightened around her.
A/n wretches I can't believe I wrote the pile of…Urg, I hate writing cheesy romance. I bet some of you were getting excited there, weren't you!
Sorry for the shortness of chapter, the ones after this should (hopefully) be longer; I know the one after this is (another reason for this chapter taking so long to be posted- I had to finish ch28!)
Wow I got 14 reviews for one chapter albeit 2 were reminding me to update…
939597: Yes Elle can bargain… Is Snape ok after you molested him? I don't care about you taking Ron by all means keep him.
Hana: I knew all along that my Disney obsession was natural. See look Hana says it's normal, the fact that she has obsessive compulsive disorder over any hot guy that walks the planet can be ignored (I personally prefer the ginger bread man, as I'm hungry at the moment.) Bet this one didn't hold you for that long either, well the next one's longer! What's the big fuss over Harry Potter? Thou has committed a deadly sin! I could write you an essay on what the big fuss over Harry Potter is, but I won't because I have other reviews to reply to and I believe you want the next chapter within the week.
Sokochan: Yes Aldalóme does know about Haldir and Elle not being meln the sentence was "Aldalóme blinked not quite knowing how to take it" Yes you read it correctly. Aldalóme didn't quite know how to take it as she had been joking when she said "should I be letting my son marry an elf who can't cook" I'm paraphrasing, as I can't be asked to check. Elle then replied "Yes, remember to invite me to the wedding" she answered this quite seriously. This could have given Aldalóme the feeling that she was standing on bad ground and that she may have insulted Elle when insinuating that Elle couldn't cook. She doesn't know how Elle would take this if she carried on talking after all she hasn't known Elle that long and Elle is a Princess so she wouldn't be insulted all that much and she's the Princess of some unknown land that they know nothing of, with customs being different etc. it could have gone down a very bad road so shutting up would be the best thing to do. Aren't you surprised that I put so much thought into that, I am, I didn't realise that I had!
El loco uno: Thank you for the cookie, I enjoyed eating it
Candyfloss: You don't get the plot? Do you mean that future plot, because in that case, no you're not supposed to understand because this story does in a direction not many of you would have thought of, remember this is just the beginning weird music
Ciarolas: Maddy says that she was reading when you were making up the Pete story so she wouldn't have remember and she thought the man was called bob or something? carries on reading review see I knew I was right. Okay…I was wondering about this 'Kate' Maddy has explained though I think you could be going just a tad over board, give the girl a chance, or haven't I heard everything? Maddy was being vague (as usual)
KindCalypso: If I told you if she was falling for Haldir or Mithglin I would ruin the story! Ok, only- I'll stop now before I give too much away
Latin4eva93: See I knew someone would appreciate the faking meln thing and not ask who Elle was in love with, you have to wait and see!
Darlene: I hope your patience hasn't run out waiting for the update!
SSJ Girl: You'll see more elves soon and one of the three you mentioned (Aragorn/Legolas/Elrond) one of them will come in about looks at time line and chapter calculations 24 chapters, that sounds quite long now…I thought it was less shrugs
Hana (again): I've updated! No, Gwilwileth means blossom, butterfly is…goes to find her dictionary in fact Gwilwileth looks at dictionary scandalised gwaloth is blossom pauses and all that time…well I guess I must be butterfly then. How on earth did I get all confuddled like that? Oh rite rolls eyes butterfly and blossom are next to each other so I read the wrong one, oh wells…just shows how out of it I can be sometimes. Sulks
I-c-faces-in-da-shadows: my story is in your dreams? backs away
I'll be updating on Friday (or sooner!)
Gwilwileth the butterfly, not blossom :(
Ps. Reply to reviews is longer then chapter! Ack!
