A/N: PLEASE forgive my tardiness! Some unfortunate circumstances led to my net being cut off for six weeks, so I've not been able to post any more new chapters. But I'm back for good, and everything's going well. I'm really glad that you all are enjoying this fic. I have you like it half as much as I did writing it ;)
On with the show!
Beleglor approached his house, surprised to see Hirogaer standing outside with a smug look on his face.
'Hirogaer, what are you doing here?'
'Good day to you too, Beleglor. I just came here to talk to your daughter.'
'What could you want with Farothwen?'
'I just had to talk to her concerning her and my son.'
Anger flashed in Beleglor's eyes. 'Where is she?'
'Gone,' Hirogaer replied nonchalantly. 'To find her kin, where she belongs.'
'What did you do to her?' Beleglor growled.
'Nothing,' Hirogaer said. 'I told her the truth about what my son truly thinks of her.'
'Oh yes? What is the "truth"?'
Hirogaer snorted. 'Do you really believe that Glorohtar is in love with that piece of waste you call your daughter? Even my son wouldn't be that stupid.'
Beleglor was barely able to contain his anger. 'Where is he?'
'At home. You know, Beleglor, this is for the best. You should have heeded my advice when she was an infant. You should have killed her when you had the chance. I told you from the beginning she'd be nothing but trouble. Humans should never have entered these borders. You should have given her to me, I would have killed her if you couldn't have done it yourself.'
'You are talking about my daughter, Hirogaer!' Beleglor exploded. 'I am not like you!'
Beleglor reach out and punched Hirogaer on the left side of the face, knocking him to the ground.
'Go,' Beleglor thundered. 'Leave my property! And if I find my daughter dead or dying in the wilderness, I will hold you personally responsible!'
Hirogaer smirked. 'If you do, it will not be a significant loss to the world. In fact, the Elves of Mirkwood will benefit.'
Beleglor took out one of his knives and held it to Hirogaer's throat.
'I swear to Ilúvatar that if I see you here again, I will kill you, senior advisor to Thranduil or not, I do not care. Get away from me, my house, and my daughter.'
'Fine.' Hirogaer turned his back and left without another word.
