Chapter 69 A whole new world
A warm breeze greeted the King and his bride as they turned and prepared to step beyond the threshold. The old royal chambers had been converted to a real home per Queen Philicia's Request. Even at that moment the master craftsman were in the proscess of creating tables and chairs to set out on the balcony that ran the whole length of the newly renovated chambers.
" Are you ready,my heart." Thorin said taking Philicia's hand in his.
"I am, my king and husband." Philicia winced at the soreness from their vigorous lovemaking as she placed her hand in his.
Thorin reached for the door and with a slight tug the double doors were opened. The first ones to greet them were Dwalin and Balin.
"Ah , about time nadad, we thought for sure you would stay hidden away forever ." He said with a bow.
"And to you my Queen." Dwalin said bowing to Philicia also.
"I have missed you all also." She said planting a kiss on Dwalins cheek and giving Balin a hug.
"Thorin, Fili has been handeling things quite well in your absence. The lad has evryone eating out of his hand. He will make a fine king after you Thorin."
After a brief update on what has been goin on Thorin called a meeting while Philicia went about greeting the people.
" Oh my queen it is so nice to see you. I must say that gown you wore for the wedding was a sight to behild. We all are so very happy Thorin has found his one." The friendly dwarrowdam exclaimed.
"Oh yes indeed, And rumor is tht you saved his life after the great battle, and the life of the young Prince Kili also." Another woman said with two children clinging to her skirt's.
'I traveled with the 13 to reclaim the mountain, and along the way we fell in love." Philiia said no more as she accepted hug's and moved on slowly stopping to greet the people along the way. After a few hour's and a herty breakfast with Dis the two ladies went about the kingdom when suddeny Phiicia was turned around and pulled into a warm embrace as Thorins lip's decended on her's.
"I missed you, my love." How has your morning been? Thorin asked her .
"Busy, everyone has been so warm and receiving to me. I have been hand gift's all morning long. How was your meeting?" She asked as they looked down over The Gallery of The King's where their wedding had taken place just a week ago.
"I think it went well, Fili has indeed done a excellent job in my stead. I even presented your ideas to the council. They wish to see some scematics of the proposed plans." Thorin informed her.
" Well then I will have Ori get right on it." She said.
So as the day progresed Thorin and Philicia slowly walked the levels of Erebor as the dwarve's congradulated them and drobbed hint's of a heir in the near future. Philicia blushed at the thought knowing well that her and Thorin had deceided to take a year or two for themselves before trying for a baby. That and Oin had suggested tht Philicia give her body a chance to mature a bit more. Dwarven babies were large and she was so small compared to dwarrowdam's.
As afternoon slowly faded into evening The new king and queen took their evening meal amoung the people in the great hall. Bombur had outdone himself again for the food was a delight to all. Afterwords they invited Fili and Kili along with Dis and the rest of the company to their new home. Some of them had not gotten the chance to see the old chambers transformed into a real home .
"And this is the uppper floor complete with 3 bedrooms and a bathroom." Philicia said as she gave them the grand tour.
'Aye a splendid home it is indeed." Balin added patting Thorin on the back. The rest of the evening was spent tlking about all the adventures they had on the journy to reclaim the mountain.
Dis a few times has let out a gasp as the stories were told.
"I truly thought he was a gonner, amad." Fili said. "Then Tauriel burst through the door Athelas in hand, she did save Kili's life." Dis was near tears as Philicia stifeled a yawn due to lack of sleep the night before.
She told thorin that she was going to bed and kissing him on the cheek proceeded up the stair's after hugs from everyone.
Thorin saw the company out and after a brief talk with Dis gave his sister a waem embrace promising to see her tomorrow.
"Well my heart, today went rather smoothe." Thorin said as he tossed his tunic into the laundry basket." They seem to be quite taken with you. The word is spreading quickly about how you saved mine and Kili's life after the battle." He said pulling his wife into his arm's.
"I know a really nice lady stopped me today and spoke to me about it." Philicia said turning to seal her mouth with Thorin's.
No more word's were needed for the rest of the night as the king and queen were very busy expressing a love that burned brighter than the stars .
