1. Aurel's helplessness
This was the third time Orifer had come to Geim's home. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The arrival of the Venerable King was a bit of a surprise to Geim, although he was no stranger to Aurifel and had received several of his visits. But what time is it?
I don't know if it was to better understand the movements of the dwarves in the lonely mountain, or if the royal city built on the mountain was conducive to defense, Orifel began to build a new royal city in the Green Forest Mountain Range two hundred years ago. Two months ago, the construction of the majestic royal palace built against the mountain was finally completed, and a month earlier, King Aurifel had just completed the relocation of the entire royal city. Moving the entire royal city from Amunlan to the new land in the southeast of the Great Green Forest is a long way away, not to mention the countless affairs to be dealt with in building a new town. Geim determined that Orifer would not be able to handle everything in such a short period of time.
But the king came so anxiously just for that thing.
Geim shook his head slightly, he didn't think the matter was urgent. For the immortal elves, there is time to make it happen. Putting down the book in his hand, Geim gracefully got up and walked towards Orifer.
The first person to greet Orifer was not Geim. Gam's beautiful youngest daughter, Avril, had jumped in front of Orifer as she screamed, and she saluted Orifer.
"Dear Aurifel, how is the prince now, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I hope his brow is no longer tightened. ”
"Hello, beautiful Avril" Aurelel reached out and caught Avril's outstretched jade hand. "Thranduil is still the same as before, and has not seen much change. ”
Of Geim's three daughters, Avril was the most fond of Avril. She has the most beautiful appearance of the Sinda tribe, and her golden hair is even more dazzling. Aurel sighed in his heart, it's a pity. Even though Avril is so beautiful, her heartfelt feelings are rejected by Thrandeil.
"I would love to visit the prince if he had not ordered me never to see me again. ”
Despite smiling as he spoke, Aurelfeld could still imagine the sadness in Avril's heart. However, he liked the people of the Geim family. It seems that no matter what difficulties they encounter, they will not put too much sorrow into the fact that they cannot be changed. And this merit is precisely what Thranduil needs.
"Beautiful Avril, please follow my squire to collect your gifts. I need to talk to your father alone. "Aurifel knew he didn't have much time to stay, and he had to rush back to the kingdom in the shortest possible time. In a country that has just settled into his new territory, there are too many things to deal with, and there is a prince who is upsetting him.
After a brief greeting with Gim, Orifer went straight to the point. "Dear Geim, I would like to ask your eldest daughter, Vernor, to come with me. ”
"It can't be. Geim's eyes widened, and he even felt a little angry. "Vernore is my most pitiful daughter, please don't play such a joke on her. You know, she once had a husband, although her husband is dead...... She is 300 years older than your prince. ”
Orifer apparently anticipated Geim's reaction, and he gave him a solemn courtesy. "I pay you the highest respect in my capacity as king, my friend Geim. I swear, there is not a hint of joking in what I just said, please experience my suffering. ”
Geim suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and replied in a voice that considered himself peaceful: "For the sake of our ancestors, and for the sake of your urgent need to secure the noble blood of your offspring, I have helped you to persuade your two daughters to return with you and cultivate affection with your prince. Well, even if Avril doesn't need me to convince me at all, that doesn't mean I can ignore their feelings and make decisions for them. It doesn't mean that I allow my eldest daughter, the noble Sindar Elf Vernor, to have only one embarrassing identity in your palace. Oh! You don't need to tell me any white lies, and as far as I know you, even if Vernor had succeeded in gaining Thrandil's affection, and even had a child for Thrandil, you would never have made a married Sindar a princess. ”
"You're right. Aurel nodded solemnly, "I would never let a married Sindar elf become a princess or queen, which is not a good thing for the royal family. And I'm never going to force your daughter to do anything they don't like. However, she could become Thrandil's mentor, doctor, brother and sister, and become the highest-ranking woman outside of the queen and princess. ”
If you knew how much Vernoll loved her dead husband, you would surely admit that this was your stupidest idea. ”
"Geim, I can understand how much you love Vernor, just as I love Thrandil. My idea may not be acceptable to you, but it's a matter for only Vernor to decide. You love her so much, why don't you let Vernoll make the decision for herself?"
Gem's eyes widened, and he felt the corner of his right eye twitch. He tried to open his mouth wide, but he couldn't say anything to object to. Well, maybe it would be better for Vernor to reject Orifer, but Vernor's poisonous tongue has never been used on goblins.
Just 10 minutes later, Geim snickered. When Vernol got the news, he did not come to the meeting as promised, but refused to meet him on the grounds that "I am carving in clay". However, Aurifel apparently did not mind when he heard the news, and he made a gesture of meeting with a distinguished guest, and walked gracefully towards the room where Vernor was.
Disgustingly stubborn!, Geim silently spat in his heart, this time you finally know that even the descendants of the royal family who have no territory or rights still have pride and nobility. May the poisonous tongue of Vernorr irritate you to the point that you will never dare to come again.
Fnorr focused on the colored ooze in his hand, only bowing slightly in respect to where Orifer stood. Perhaps in her mind, the elven king was just a person of the same status.
She was indeed the most mediocre-looking of Geim's three children. Aurifel took only one look at it and came to a conclusion. Of course, no matter how mediocre the Sindar elves are, they are more beautiful than the Sylvan elves. Looking at her slightly white skin and golden hair, Aurifel was so impulsive that he wanted to throw her directly into Thranduil's bed. In his opinion, there is absolutely no elf in this world who can be worthy of his son, in this case, it does not matter if the grandson's mother is a mediocre-looking Sindar elf, the most important thing is that he must have a blonde grandson and be able to cure Thrandil's illness.
The silence didn't last long, and Vernoll quickly disposed of the ooze in his hands. With both hands, she gently placed the made soft clay carving in the flannel-covered box and looked up and smiled at Orifer.
This smile shouldn't come from Vernor!
It's hard to describe the smile on Orifer. It's infectious, relatable, and absolutely devoid of any sadness, pain, or melancholy. If he hadn't known about Vernor, Orifer would never have believed that such a smile would appear on Vernor's face. At this moment, Orifer only thought of the good things and forgot his troubles.
"The 'healing smile' that has been said in the woodland kingdom for 100 years is well deserved. The wise king quickly pulled his mind back to the normal channel, "Your smile almost made me forget my troubles. ”
