Legolas looked at the advisors of his father with his mouth slightly open. He was torn between shouting at them or going after Nienna. He could not get anything from her. Their bond had gone dead. She had withdrawal so far within herself that he did not know if he could ever reach her. "Who in the name of the Valar are to tell me how to live my life? I do not care what you think about this. I will not listen to it. I love Nienna more then life itself and if that is not accepted by any of these people then I do not want to be their prince."

"You cannot give up your throne, Prince Legolas." Lindeon said. Legolas smirked and answered. "Watch me. What you did towards my Lady is wrong! If you dare to harm her or my child, I will not stop at any cost then to kill you." With that he stormed out of the room.

He was raged within himself that he was surprised that he could even think. The advisors had arranged a marriage between him and Indris. He had not seen Indris but had few doubts that she knew about this. By the look on his father's face even he had not known about this. The announcement had been made yesterday before he got back. Nienna had found out this morning and he had not seen her since then.

He knocked on Indris door and without waiting, he walked in. "Did you know about this?" He asked, indicating the so-called marriage between. Indris looked at him before she said. "Yes, I did. I thought you knew and were happy. I tried to talk to Adar (Lindeon is her father) but he did not want to listen. He said that is was the best for the both of us. I am sorry, Legolas."

"You are sorry, you say. You and your father have no idea what they have done. I was happy, Indris, for the first time in my life, I was truly happy but nobody seems to want me to be. You have not only ruined Nienna's life but also mine. I thought you were my friend, a strong and free spirited young Elf, now I see I was wrong, you are not strong, you are just a plaything for your father's wishes."

"Legolas, wait, do not say that. If I could make it right, I would but don't ask me to lose you. I love you but I want to see you happy. When I saw the smile on your face, I knew that if we were to get married, you would be so unhappy. I just thought…"

"What did you think?" Legolas shouted at the top of his voice.

"I thought that I loved you, but you do not love me. I am sorry, can you ever forgive me?" Indris pleaded tears in her eyes. Legolas looked at her with regret before he said. "You were my first love, I was going to ask you to marry me but you broke up. I am glad I never did, since you turn out to be such a bitch." His voice had turned ice cold and he walked out of the room. Indris signed and then the tears fell down her face.

Nienna felt downright miserable. She felt heartbroken and it was the worst feeling ever. "Legolas, why could I ever be so stupid as to think that I could be truly yours? You are a prince and the people need you. They do not need me. Like Lindeon said, I am only good for the trip but at the end of the day, you need somebody to come home to, a good wife." Before her tears started to fall again.

Thranduil drew back from the door. He had heard it all and after visiting his son's room, he knew that they belonged together. But how was he going to fix it? Then a smile lids his face before he walked away, intended on arranging something.

Nienna wanted to pack when the messenger found her. "My Lady, there is a feast tonight and the King had required your presence. He said it was for the uttermost importance for you to be there." Nienna nodded and thought to herself "Maybe he only wants to humiliate me more."

She was going that much was sure, even if it was only a last change to see Legolas ever again. She did not doubt that it was his fault, he had nothing to do with this, but when so many people were against them, how could they be together?

Legolas had never wanted to be death more then ever in his life. He had never felt so empty before, it was over. Nienna would be out of his life for good. How could he kid himself in thinking that they could be? He was a prince; she should of known better. He loved her so much, if only there was a change for them to be together, far away from this all.

He looked up when his father stood up to speak. Legolas did not feel like toasting to his new loveless marriage.

"Ladies and Lord, we are here together to celebrate the homecoming of my son Legolas. Yet that is not the only thing that we are going to celebrate tonight. My son is going to be wed within the next year but not to the person we first thought. I know many of you think that Lady Indris should be the one to marry Legolas but I know that is not good for him. I would rather say that he is going to be married to somebody else."

Legolas rolled his eyes; his father had come up with another brilliant plan. It was not Indris but a complete stranger. Legolas wanted to leave but sitting next to his father, he would be far too noticeable.

"Lord and Ladies, I think that my son might actually say yes to this Lady. I know I have not been the greatest father but I want what is best for my son. I am sorry, Legolas, for not being the father that you need. I hope you can forgive and be happy with your new wife." Thranduil looked at Legolas. His son's blank expression stared back.

Thranduil smiled before he walked to one of other tables. He extended his hand when he came to Nienna. "My Lady, I am sorry for what I have said and for what my advisors have done. I know I have a kingdom to think off but that does not mean that I can slack of at the job of being a parent. Will you accept me as your father in law and Legolas as your husband and father of your children?"

Nienna felt confused but did grab Thranduil's hand. The full extend of his words had not yet reached her. He pulled her up and while grabbed hold of her more tightly guided her over to the table.

"I am glad to announce Prince Legolas and Lady Nienna's engagement. I hope that they will be happy and think back to us all." Thranduil announced while he smiled when he saw his son's expression on his face. Most people were whispering when they saw Nienna's belly. Legolas recovered quickly and stepped forward. Nienna felt her head spin. She could heard the people talking and felt sick, next moment Legolas stood next to her and his clear voice rang through the hall, causing all to fall silent. "I thank you all. I hope you will accept Nienna as your princess. I also have another announcement to make, as you can clearly see Lady Nienna is carrying a child. I know what most of you think but I can guarantee you that this is my child. This will be the first grandchild of both Thranduil and Elrond."

When he was done, there was a second of silent before the hall started to applaud. Legolas smiled and Nienna leaned against him. They still felt weak but Nienna was determined to make it up with him. Legolas was all too happy to answer the kiss. Both of them were surrounded with a light, as it did all couple that were bonded. Nienna and Legolas both felt the other's soul and Nienna burst out in tears from pure happiness. Legolas smiled and while wrapping his arms around her, thanking the whole wide world for being alive.

Hope you liked it. Please review.
