Chapter Twelve
~*In the Palace Halls*~
Andrial personal view
What a night, first that palace guard jerk's attempted to rape me, then Legolas' confession of his love to me. Ah, Legolas! He has been nothing but wonderful to me, and that kiss. Oh that kiss of his was perfect out of this world. And last night…last night sleeping in the same bed as Legolas was simply wonderful. His strong arms holding me close to his chest. We went to sleep with his arm draped around me, just for me to wake up in the same glorious position.
"Hey Princess Andrial!" I turned and looked the direction the voice was coming from. It was from a Palace Maiden, you know King's personal maiden.
"Hello?"
"Lady Lila is my name milady. I heard you had a pretty rough night!" She sneered at me.
"Yes it was, Lila. Thankfully my future husband was there to take care of me. The attacker did get to live to see this morning!"
"What? Legolas killed him?" with a shock expression on her.
"No, the jerk landed on his own knife, and killed himself!" A sadden look came across her face. "Did you know this young attacker Lila?"
"Um….oh no milady. Only knew of him from the gossip out in the halls. Well as long as you are ok." Testing her truth I had to add.
"Yes, Legolas made sure of my safety. He allowed me to spend the night with him, in his chambers!"
"Really?" This time her look was even was worst.
"Well, we are after all arranged to get married." I left his presence and carried on what I was going to do.

Legolas' personal view
What a wonderful night. I finally told Andrial how I felt about her. Though she didn't reply her feelings back, she also didn't reject it. So that must be a good sign I hope. After all she did ask to sleep in the same bed with me…My bed. I'm a happy elf, that's for sure. I held her delicate body all night…Wait where is she!
"Andrial? Where did you go?" this can't be good. She's gone!
"Good Morning Legolas, I trust you slept well right?" Andrial came into my room carrying a tray.
"I did, but how about you?"
"Simply wonder, thanks for asking!" she laid the tray down on the near by stand.
"What do you have there?"
"Oh, I just thought that it would be nice that we ate breakfast here instead of with the others in the Mess Hall. I brought food for the both of us." He hand me an apple and I gratefully took it from her.
"Thank you melamin!"
"Legolas, you didn't mean what you said right, please tell me you didn't!"
"Of course I meant it, every single word. Amin mela lle, never forget that melamin, never!"
"Oh Legolas, somehow I feel the same, though I can't express it, my heart is still weak from Dondel deception to me."
"Melamin, I'm not expecting you too. As long as I can call you my own with out force of this marriage, then I won't feel guilty when we have to say I do."
"Legolas, you truly are amazing and don't deserve such love from an elf, but I am glad I was chosen to marry you, and not that Lady Lila elf."
"You've met her, how?"
"She stopped me in the halls. She obviously knew me, and what freaked me out was that she knew about last night. And when I told her that my attacker was dead, she showed off a shocked look about her face. I asked if she knew anything about the elf, and she denied it."
"Look, melamin, I must warn you about her. All she wants is my Title, and when you came, it gave her competition. So please regard any comments she throws at you. Just know, you'll be the only elf in this elf's heart." I leaned over to her, and kissed the side of her cheek.
"Thanks Legolas!" We finished are meal, and she scooted closer to me, and laid her head on my shoulder.
"You know Legolas, as much as I want to go home. I could never leave you here to suffer with Lila, could I?
"Na, I don't think you can. Plus I probably wouldn't let you get the chance to leave me"
"Your right, I wouldn't leave, that because I love you to Legolas!"
