Despite his back to him and his position in an inconspicuous corner of the banquet area, Thranduil could tell who it was by the sheer color of her blonde hair. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The back of the balustrade, far from the bustle, looking up at the starry sky, the darker and lighter, the plain hair, there was nothing but Vernor.

At this time, Thranduil had forgotten that she was still in the dream, and was all about the female elf, who was not close. He didn't even do the basic etiquette of saying goodbye to his parents, and trotted up with his legs. The newly grown prince of the woodland stood behind her through the sound of loving admiration, over the area of the warbler and the swallow, and over the respectful elves. He didn't even give Vernoll a chance to turn around and check, he grabbed the other person's hand and pulled her towards her parents' place.

On this not too short and not too long journey, the clenched hand changed from the initial struggle to resignation. Thranduil was not optimistic that this was Vernor's approval of himself. He knew that in addition to his own terrible strength, he also knew that she was calm.

She's waiting for your backmove, and then looking for a flaw to get rid of you. Thrandil, don't give her a chance to find a flaw.

Standing in front of his parents, who were also amazed, Thranduil kept reminding himself inwardly. As he spoke, he took a few deep breaths to adjust his tone to a calmer tone. Then, he smiled at the expressionless Vernor, then turned to look at Aurel and said, "I'm an adult, and I can decide my own business." ADA, I will marry her as my wife. ”

The shock caused by this sentence did not stop at the arm that shook in his palm? Orifer, who almost never lost his temper in front of other creatures, opened his mouth slightly, and looked at him in a stunned manner, completely devoid of the calmness of the king. Thranduil's mother, on the other hand, was calm in comparison. Although all the attention of the queen of the woodland was on the female elf pulled by her only son.

"I will marry her as my wife, not 'I want to'. In a resolute tone, he spoke out one step ahead of King Ou. The firm-eyed Thranduil confronted his father while still adding: "Whatever the cost, whether you agree or not." ”

Before the other two female elves could react, Orifer touched his chin and asked, "Thrandil, can we talk alone?"

The Prince of the Woodland did not hesitate to reject the offer. "I won't let her go until I'm sure about it, and there's no way to communicate with you individually. ”

"Child, I have always hoped that under my protection, your marriage was made for love, not because of a deliberate antecedent. Aurifel, who felt a deep headache, glanced at Vernoll and whispered a hint: "You can find a simple and flawless partner and enjoy the happiness that only innocence can have." ”

"As you wish, she will be my wife because of love. Knowing that his father's words were faintly derogatory, Thranduil simply proposed marriage by half-kneeling in front of Vernoll to prove his infallibility once again. In front of his parents and other onlookers, he said to Vernor, who was still dazed: "I love you. I am willing to trade everything I have for the opportunity to follow you for eternity. Will you give me that chance?"

Time seemed to stand still for a long time, long enough for Thranduil to reminisce about every moment he had experienced with Vernor. But the irreversible attitude only made Aurelfeld decide to compromise after careful consideration, and Vernorr seemed unmoved.

"I'm sorry, noble prince. She turned her head sideways to avoid the answer to the marriage contract, and as she struggled to withdraw her hand, she said with all doubts: "I have never been in contact with you. Forgive me for not being able to accept proposals from strangers. ”

The next two things Thranduil did determined the success of the proposal.

Without spending any time convincing Vernor, he found a chain and tied Vernor's hand tightly to his own. After clasping the ends of the link with an iron lock and hiding the key carefully, he pounced on Orifel and began to whimper, and muttered intermittently, "I don't know how long I can stay here." But ADA, without her, every minute and second of my life is meaningless. ”

Under the tears and desperate words, King Ou's tense body slowly softened.

"What the child can't do, I can only do it for me. If you trust your father to help you do it, don't be like this. Picking up his only son, Orifer whispered a few words to the guards behind him. It wasn't long before a female elf who Thranduil didn't know at all walked over and nodded at King Ou.

"It was the initial decision to go around and around. You are destined to be unable to escape your fate, so don't make any more useless struggles in front of us. The king of Ou, who stood up with a chuckle, stretched out his hand and put it on Vernoer's head, and solemnly announced: "The future princess of the woodland, you need to have a name worthy of your identity." I don't want a human name to be used on my daughter-in-law. Audrey's eldest daughter, given the name Lutenas. Ask the relevant officials of the royal family to assist the prince in completing the marriage proposal. ”

Lutnas, Zindalin means blooming flower, and it matches my name perfectly!Thranduil, whose tear stains had not yet dried in the corners of her eyes, turned her head to look at the female elf beside her, and laughed again in her gloomy but unspeakable look.

"There's a lot more to do to really turn her into your princess. Thranduil, stop being willful! If she doesn't go back, where will you send the wedding invitation?" Orifer whispered to his only son with great satisfaction, reminding him that marriages without a return gift from a female dependent were not legal in the elven race, and were forced marriages that all elves despised. But now Thranduil could not control so much, and his response to the words and actions of the king of Europe was a more capricious and non-negotiable decision.

"I will never allow her to leave her sight until she is married. As he spoke, Thranduil curled up at the feet of the queen of the woodland, and asked her mother again and again, "I don't want her to leave me." The queen of the woodland persuaded softly for a while, and seeing that her only son was still unmoved, she had to look at her future daughter-in-law, who was still at a loss, and said softly to King Ou: "Let her family return the gift on her behalf." ”

"This kid is getting more and more willful!" Thurendil tapped his scepter on the shoulder, and Aurelel had no choice but to summon Audrey to discuss marriage. Seeing that everything had been settled by his parents, Thranduil, who was satisfied, did something very bold and not what an adult elf should do. He kissed his parents on the cheek, then pulled Vernore away quickly.
