Chapter 4- Who?
The Crown Prince of Mirkwood awoke to a continuous pounding on his door.
"Norui! Open the door!" Lothron shouted at him. "We know you are hiding that little pest in there!" Norui yawned loudly.
"I don't know what you are talking about. Leave me alone." He said, sleepily.
"Oh yes, you do! Open. The. Door!" Melyanna yelled. Norui rose slowly from his bed.
"Alright, alright! Just give me a second!" From a pile of clothing throw carelessly into a corner of the room, he put on a pair of brownish leggings and flung a hunter green tunic over his shoulder. He made his way to the door and opened it. He was met with the sight of his two angry sisters, red in the face. He grinned.
"Good morning. How may I help you?" Lothron grabbed her brother's ear and pulled him towards herself.
"Where is he!?" She demanded. Norui yelped.
"Ouch! Let me go!" He pushed against her. "Release me and I will tell you what you need to know!" Melyanna grinned and stepped away from her brother. Rubbing his ear, Norui continued. "So, what do you want?"
"We want to know where Legolas is so we can kill him! Where are you hiding him?" Lothron demanded. Norui grinned stupidly.
"Define 'where' and 'is' and 'he' for me, please." Lothron growled.
"You know perfectly well who I am talking about! That stupid little brother!"
"I'm right here!" He shouted happily, raising his arms in the air.
"Not you! Legolas! Where is the little runt?!" With that, Norui decided she had taken it too far. He glared at her.
"What do you call him?" He hissed between his teeth.
"Oh, Norui, I'm sorry! I didn't mean it! I swear I didn't! I love Legolas just as much as you do!" Lothron pleaded to him. Then, to her surprise, Norui grinned.
"What? Are you looking for somebody or something?" Then Lothron glared daggers at him.
"Why, you little!" She pounced on him, sending him to the ground, joined by Melyanna. Norui kneed them both in the stomach, but in return got his hair practically yanked out of his scalp. Norui had gained a bloody lip and the two women had gotten some bruised arms by the time they heard a booming voice behind them.
"Children! What is the meaning of this?" The three quarreling siblings immediately stopped their fighting to turn to the person behind them. To their displeasure and fear, their father stood before them.
"Um, nothing, Ada! We were just playing is all!" Melyanna lied, but he didn't seem to buy it.
"Playing!? You call that playing?! You three looked like you were out to kill each other! What could Norui have done to make you want to kill him?" Norui's jaw dropped.
"How do you know I did something, Ada?!"
"Because one, it is natural, and two, you and Legolas are always at the root of the problem." Norui blushed in embarrassment. "So, what did you do, Noruion?" The Crown Prince cringed. Only when he did something really bad was that name used.
"Well, Legolas and I kind of pulled a joke on them, is all." The Elvenking crossed his arms.
"What kind of joke?" He asked, narrowing his eyes. Norui shifted uncomfortably under his father's gaze.
"All we did was put one of Lothron's necklaces in Melyanna's jewelry box! It's not that big of a deal!" The King rubbed his temples in annoyance.
"Fine. Norui, you will clean the Upper Halls after the feast tonight, and Legolas will clean the dungeons. Is that clear?" He asked, crossing his arms. Norui nodded.
"Yes, Adar. I understand." Thranduil, the king, rolled his eyes and started back down the hall, mumbling about the immaturity of a certain few princes and princesses.
Lothron gave Norui a glare as Melyanna walked away, quite happy with her brothers' punishment. Lothron laughed and walked away. Norui sighed as he stood up.
"Oh well, it's not like I haven't had to clean the Halls before." He changed into his clothes and made his way down the halls to start his daily duties as Crown Prince.
