Arwen looked out and saw the party coming out of the Woods. "My Lord, who visits the city this day?" she asked turning to her husband.

"The Steward, he brings his son to meet our Celebel." Aragorn said. The couple looked out toward the Woods and saw the silver head of the Princess appear above the trees.

"Rumil must have been left to tend to Celebel, Orophin is leading the party to the city." Aragorn laughed.

"Yes, he is sad, and Celebel has been crying." Arwen said looking out toward her daughter. "She has grown to love the brothers as they have to love her. She will not want to leave them."

"But in time, she must. They will make her understand." Aragorn said. "Call for her, she needs to come in, it's almost dark."

"'Bel, come down. It is time to return to the City" Rumil said.

"I don't want to go back. Can't we run away, and live in the Woods together?" Celebel asked dropping out of the tree.

"You naneth would not be happy with me. I fear that she is already unhappy with me." Rumil said. "Come, we must return."

"I don't want to go. If I go back, they'll make me meet that prince, and then they'll make me marry him." Celebel said defiantly.

Orophin dropped out of a tree. "Celebel you must return to the City. Your mother wants you." Orophin said.

"I hate it when you two do that." Celebel said sticking her tongue out at her Guardians. "You both know I can disobey one, but not both." She laughed. "Very well, if you wish for me to return then I will." She hugged them both and scurried off toward the City.

"You love her don't you brother?" Orophin asked.

Rumil sighed, "I have loved her since the first time I laid eyes on her as a child."

"Arwen will not be happy." Orophin said.

"I know, and I know I must let her go, to live her life away from us." Rumil sighed.

"She loves you as well, but we must make her see that it is not meant to be, for we must leave her soon." Orophin said.

"I will not leave while Celebel still lives." Rumil said.

"We must. We cannot stay if it is to hinder the life and happiness of Celebel. You and I both know that your love can never be, brother. She is like a daughter to us." Orophin said. "If you truly love her then you will let her go."

"I do love her, but oh how I shall miss her." Rumil sighed.

"Our little Celebel has grown to be a beautiful princess, and someday she will make a prince very happy." Orophin smiled, clapping his brother on the back. "Now, I'm sure the King has arranged a festival to honor the arrival of the Steward, let us return to the City to keep 'Bel out of trouble." He laughed. The two brothers made their way back to the City.
