WARNING: this is about male/male relationships if you have a problem with it then I suggest that you go elsewhere.
Notes: First I would like to apologize for taking such a long time to update. My son apparently broke my laptop and I have no access to a computer. My mother just installed msword so now I'm back in business. Thank you all for waiting for patiently for me to update. I know this chapter is short but I just wanted to put something out for you.
Just as a reminder this is not beta-read any and all mistakes are mine.

Now, enough of my endless chatter on with the story.
Enjoy!

Thranduil's mouth (like every one else's) hit the floor when Celeborn disclosed that tid-bit piece of information. The Lord stood next the Marchwarden. The resemblance was undisputed.
"YOU LIE!" Serégon shouted at Celeborn. There was no way possible for the captain to be relate to him!
"It would be in your best interest to keep yourself in check. My brothers won't hesitate from removing you at your next outburst," Haldir said mockingly.
Thranduil never looked so grateful. However, there was still one lingering question burning in everyone's mind. "How can Lord Celeborn be your father, Haldir? I think he would have told us," Thranduil asked.
Haldir smirked but remained quiet.
"Actually," Elrond said finally making his presence know. "The Lord and Lady did not want any one to know of them. You remember how Celebrían was treated? Her so-called friends only were around her because she was Galadriel and Celeborn's daughter. They kept Haldir, Rúmil, and Orophin's birth a secret because they knew they would only get the respect as being the Heirs of the Golden Wood and not as a fellow Galadrim."
Celeborn stepped away from his eldest son. "The mirror showed Galadriel and I what would come to pass if we had make it know about our sons birth, and it was something we wanted to avoid. Lord Elrond and Mithrandir was present for their births as witnesses should anything like this come up," Celeborn concluded.
Thranduil was devastated. Never in his wildest dreams he would have guessed that out of all the Elves in Middle-earth Haldir and his brothers were Celeborn's heirs. Then something else dawned on the king, the situation between his and the Marchwarden was now resolved.
Or so his thought.
"So be it. As ruler of Mirkwood, I Thranduil hereby acknowledge and accept Haldir o' Lorien , future Lord of Caras Galadhon as Prince Legolas' bonded. I bless this union whole heartedly from this day forth."
Everyone in the throne room cheered. Plans were all ready being made to officially celebrate the prince's marriage.
Serégon was seething mad by the time the formal acceptance was finished. He congratulated the couple on their marriage publicly but as he left the hall he promised himself that the prince was going to pay for the slap in the face; because no one made a fool out him, ever!

A/N: I know it was short and I didn't add everything that I wanted too, so maybe I will revise this chapter later. Anyway, so tell me what do you think? Has any one figured out what Serégon is up to? No, well stay tuned and find out.
Tell me your thoughts and any comments that you might have
