"Tauriel is still missing," the guard reported to the King. "Shall we send elves for a rescue mission, my lord?"
"No." Thranduil said calmly as he sat on top of his throne.
"No? Is it not odd she has disappeared right before her wedding? What if she has been kidnapped?" advised the guard.
"If I know my daughter, I doubt she has been kidnapped," he said. The King was more angry than worried. How dare she run off right before her wedding. She knew the extravagance of the event and how much work the Kingdom of Mirkwood was putting into it. He threw the goblet that was in his hand angrily at the wall. The goblet shattered into many pieces. The guard realized how angry the King was and slowly backed out of the room.
