Conversations With Kings Chapter 3
The carried on in conversation for a little while longer. "Yes, well, Feé, you have been here, I don't know how long, and have yet to see the king; that will make him very upset." Brilmar threw her over his shoulder and started walking away towards the castle.
"Hey! Put me down! There is still something I need to tell Legolas."
"I'[m sorry love, but I cannot do that. He has been waiting for you for many days now."
"Will you at least out me down?"
"Nope, I do not trust you."
"Oh that's lovely."
He set her down only just before the front bridge. The doors opened by themselves for her and she made her way inside. She did not pause to make her presence know, but went straight to the king's sitting room. No doubt in her mind that that is where he was; ever watching her and his kingdom in its entirety.
She knew him all too well. He was waiting for her in his wood carven throne. "Your highness, I am glad to see you journeyed well," the King addressed her.
"'Your Highness'? Why do you address me so formally? You would not address your sons so. Why do you address your daughter in that way? To me you are Atar°, and I am but Selde¹."
"So it is true then, the Queen has come to her kingdom."
"No," she got down on one knee, "I have come you yours."
He smiled. "You have been coroneted? Did you accept your throne?"
"I have not throne, there was no coronation. I would have no other coronate me than my childhood father."
"Well then, we shall arrange it. My Selde, you may not go without a throne in my kingdom. You shall be coroneted and then we shall celebrate!"
"But Atar, I do not yet want to be known. I was to prove myself first."
"You are the Mânawenûz² Inioil³ of this earth you need not prove yourself," he sighed, "but we shall do as you wish. We will keep you coronation a secret and your celebration - that we will have - will be one of you homecoming."
"Thank you Atar." She hugged him and he hugged her back. There was very few that he would allow to do this.
"Now go rest. We start celebrating at sundown and do not stop until the night is gone. Your coronation shall be very soon. Someone will come to get you."
"First, if it is alright, I must explain a few things to Legolas." The king nodded in reply.
She found Legolas out in the Main Hall. "Legolas, I must speak with you. Will you walk with me for a moment?"
"Yes, of course."
She waited until they were in the forest to start speaking. "Legolas, do you remember all those times when Galadriel, Celeborn, Elrond, and Atar called me 'Queen', and we never knew why?" He nodded, looking slightly confused. "Well no we do. I don't really know how to tell you this."
"Just tell me, don't worry," He smiled his same old devious smile.
She took a deep breath in and let it out.
"Okay.." I know it was short, but I felt that this should be a breaking point, though I'm sure you can guess what she's going to say. º Father ¹Daughter ²Blessed One ³Lily
