A/N: Did some spell check!

Diclaimer: I don't own anything!

Chapter 6

I felt my head swirling with pain. How long was this? I slowly squinted my eyes at the sun's flashing rays against my face. I held my hand up and learned. I am in my room now, with my bedroom clothes on. The curtains of my terrace were already tied up, telling me that it must be past breakfast already. Then it hit me. What had happened yesterday in the meadow? More so, where is that meadow? How did I get here? Who brought me here? Why can't I remember anything?

Then a sudden rush of thoughts came to my mind. Ellaure. Haldir. My father.

'Do not worry of your father, my child. He does not know. And Mithrandir placed his magnificent magic on you to be brought back here to your chamber. No need to worry. Just remember what I told you.' Galadriel's thoughts rang my ear.

I quickly freshened up and went down the hall to the dining room. I instantly remembered about Silsulwen shifted my course to the east side of the palace where she usually made room. And then, the thoughts of Haldir and Ellaure filled my mind. It made me shake of anger and made my head hurt of so much rage and frustration, but I have to subside it. Silsulwen is affected. I have to do this for her.

I knocked at the oak wood door of her chamber. The design of a maiden river glistened as a soft 'come in' was heard from the inside.

I peered through the thick doors and saw the bed of silk light blue wrapped around the vala's body.

'Legolas, how does your heart fare?' Silsulwen greeted me. I gave a warm smile as she nodded knowingly.

'I am sorry, my little vala for placing upon you this---'

'No need to worry, Legolas. Life has destined me to be this way.'

Life. The phrase that Silsulwen had said earlier had been my thought throughout breakfast. Why was it destined to be? But I can not question the valar in the midst beyond every perfect plain in Middle Earth, high up in their citadel. They have planned something for me, and I have to wait for it.

As expected, my father greeted me with a harsh look because I attended breakfast late, but unexpectedly, he did not reprimand me. Maybe it was because the other leaders of Middle Earth were present during the meals.

During the meals, I stayed as quiet as I can. But Galadriel and I still had the silent conversations regarding Silsulwen. But we did not go further with regards to Ellaure. My heart was still incapable of holding and keeping from the elves around me the uncontrollable emotions that I feel towards her. Ellaure was not seated beside me today, Elrond was. The conversation mainly revolved in the War of the Ring. I asked him why there was no feast for Elrohir and Elladan because the victory is also shared with the twins. He told me that they have stayed first in Gondor with their sister.

Then the talk grew further about the land and the hierarchy. But I didn't expect myself to be as king. Only to remain as prince forever. Father wanted the position only to himself. And with the health he has got, he was unstoppable.

Besides, being a prince has its' advantages. I can never worry of other bigger responsibilities. Though I still do not have much freedom, with father constantly watching me like a kid. When can he realize that I'm already grown up and capable to watch over myself?

Ellaure and Haldir were seated with each other across the table. I tried not to look up at them, because they seem to have fun with each other. But every time I steal glances at Ellaure, father is watching me with a deathening look. Once, our gaze caught each others eyes, I tried to show my emotions, telling her how sorry I am for what happened the other night. She greatly accepted this with a nod and a warm smile at me. I saw Haldir's jealous glance at me.

I am going to have her. I'll do everything I can just to steal her back to me.

Just about that time, as Ellaure and I gazed at each other, Haldir came into the scene. He held Ellaure's hand to talk to her. Then, the desire to curse him heated my head up. Lord Elrond noticed it and raised a brow at me. He sensed the fury conjuring inside me but still, confusion can be seen in his eyes.

'Excuse me, Lord Elrond. My archery practice is already at dusk.' I said, and bowed down to him and to my father. I quickly walked out of the room and felt Ellaure's yearning to talk to me grew more. I stood outside the hall and waited for her.
