9. 09 Thranduil's suspcions

Thranduil sat on his throne cross-legged when one of his chamber guards approached.

"Yes." Thranduil acknowledged his presence without making eye contact.

The guard bowed to the King and said, "I just wanted to report to you that the chamber maids think that Tauriel has left the woods."

"And why is that?" Thranduil said thoroughly annoyed as he looked at the guard.

"She hasn't been seen all morning. Two horses and some supplies are missing that were there last night."

"And have you questioned her fiancé?"

"Yes, my lord. He does not know of her location."

Thranduil sighed loudly. Once again his daughter is acting up and right before her very public wedding. "Wait to see if she turns up later this afternoon. I sent her to kill a new nest of spiders yesterday and she may be finishing the job." Although, Thranduil knew better than that since Tauriel had killed all the spider yesterday. His suspicion was she left the Mirkwoods, but was not sure why.

"Yes, my lord." The guard bowed and left the King.
