[Lord of the Rings] Green Leaf's Blessing

However, happiness can easily beget sadness.Just when Thranduil forgot all his troubles and was laughing heartily while kissing his son, troubles came to him automatically.The sound of rustling walking not far away reached his ears, which made him stop laughing immediately—it was obvious that the night guards heard the overly presumptuous noise just now, and now they are probably following the The voice came over to check.

Thranduil didn't have time to think, he picked up his son and rushed to the bedroom - he is indeed their king, the most agile warrior in the big green forest, he was already holding Lygo before the guards came across the corridor Russ sprinted back into the house—thanks to Vera, the nanny was still asleep.However, when Thranduil put Legolas back in the cradle, Legolas suddenly grabbed his blond hair and refused to let go.

Thranduil was impatient, but he was afraid of hurting his youngest son by moving too fast, so he held his breath and gently opened the slender fingers——The footsteps of the guards had reached the door, and the nurse beside him seemed to have heard the noise too. And turned over.

There is no second way!The great elf king, Thranduil, who has always been aloof, is destined to play the role of burglar to the end tonight—that is, to escape in embarrassment.He used his speed to the extreme, rushed to the window like the wind, and jumped out of the window with a slight jump at the moment the door was pushed open.

The next day, Thranduil was sitting in the study while reviewing the official documents and listening to the report from Fino, the captain of the palace guard. His left forehead was swollen a lot.

"Is there really no need to send guards to search around, Your Majesty?" Fino finally asked.

"There's no need," Thranduil said while rubbing the lump on his forehead, frowning, "There are always disturbances in the forest at night. We are elves, not humans, so there is no need to make such a fuss."

"But—" Fino had the same smile on his face as before, but the smile seemed to have a different meaning today, "My subordinates are sure to hear the laughter, that's not something that ordinary animals can make of."

Thranduil frowned at him.

"Besides," Fino's eyes flashed a sly look, "one of them even said that the laughter sounded a bit like your majesty."

Thranduil tilted his hand holding the quill, but still raised his head and said solemnly: "Enough, Fino, I don't sleep and run around in the middle of the night? You should really ask your men to wash their elf ears. , lest they think it’s Luming the next time I really need to call them.”

"Yes, Your Majesty," Fino bowed respectfully, but added with a smile before exiting the room, "I sincerely suggest you go to a doctor, the lump on your forehead is really big. "

That's too bad, Thranduil put down his pen angrily, not only because of the injury he suffered when he jumped out of the window last night and the mocking look in Fino's eyes, but also because such a commotion would mean that he would There was no way to sneak a look at Legolas again for a long time.But even he couldn't help laughing at himself when he thought that a king would be sneaky even when he saw his own son.

Not long after, it was the elves' New Year, and the royal palace held seven consecutive days of banquets as usual. It was precisely by virtue of this opportunity that Thranduil found a very legitimate and undisputed Jean Legolas. The excuse for moving to his own room - that is to give Galian and the nanny a vacation after working hard for so long, so that they can also fully enjoy the happiness brought by the banquet.Of course, because of this, Thranduil could almost only stay in the room with his son, but he didn't mind, and ordered someone to send a good Dovinin, while tasting the wine while checking the backlog of official documents, Occasionally he would stop to read a story or two from a book to his son sitting on his lap.

Seeing him raising the wine glass from time to time, Legolas touched it curiously, but Thranduil smiled and gently grabbed his restless little hands.After sitting on his father's lap for a long time and having had enough of playing with his father's blond hair, the elf became bored and wriggled to get down to the ground.Thranduil carefully put him down, seeing him walking steadily around the room, he couldn't help showing a gratified smile.

While raising his glass to drink, he randomly took out one of the letters—the wine glass stopped in mid-air, and he frowned and looked at the letter in front of him in doubt. It was written by Elrond, Lord of Imratri. his letter.Before he opened the letter, he felt deeply disturbed. Sure enough, after he flattened the letter, he caught the key words in it at a glance: "Isildur died in the Graydon Grassland, and the whereabouts of the Supreme Lord of the Rings are unknown." ..."

Thranduil clutched the letter paper and fell into deep thought.As an ally on the battlefield, Elrond has been kindly telling him about the Lord of the Rings through letters.Perhaps Elrond didn't expect Thranduil to give him any help, because even he who was beside Isildur at the end of the war couldn't dissuade his brother's descendants from destroying the Supreme Lord of the Rings, and Thranduil could what to do?As the ruler of the Silvan elves in the Great Green Forest, what he cares about is the forest and the power it can give, and he can be said to be dismissive of the Supreme Lord of the Rings, which is said to be able to rule the world.But he also understands that just like his father Orifel decided to join the Alliance without hesitation, when the entire Middle-earth world is threatened, no one can stay out of it.They just want to protect the beautiful big green forest home forever, but it is precisely to defend their homeland that they have to put on armor, pick up weapons, and run away.

The Lord of the Rings is missing, and his master has disappeared—yes, he will not die, he just lost his body, but his soul wanders around like a shadow... Peace at a heavy price, How long can it last?Thranduil sighed heavily.

With a "snap", Legolas bumped into a corner of the desk, and sat down on the ground with his hands covering his forehead.He babbled and yelled, causing Thranduil to temporarily forget about Sauron and his Supreme Lord of the Rings—he threw away the letter, and leaned down to help his youngest son in distress.

Tears welled up in the elf's blue eyes.Damn it, Thranduil, why can't you take care of him?He felt distressed and blamed himself, while gently kissing the swelling on his son's forehead while comforting him softly.

The elf was still teary-eyed, probably because of the pain, and kept making "A...A..." sounds.

"Don't cry, son, don't cry..." Thranduil could be said to be in a hurry. If Legolas really cried, he probably wanted to bang his head on the desk... By the way, my son likes that little deer the most The toy was gone, Thranduil hurriedly turned around to pick it up.

"A... A...!"

Legolas suddenly uttered a loud word, and Thranduil turned his head quickly in fright, thinking he had bumped into something again—but the elf just sat there quietly, rubbing his forehead with his little hand while Looking at the father holding a fawn toy.

"You scared me to death, son..." Thranduil was suddenly speechless, and he clearly heard the syllable from his son's mouth again, and another very, very slight pronunciation.

"What are you talking about, Legolas?" Thranduil held the fawn, his whole body almost touching the floor.

Legolas opened his eyes and forgot to cry. After thinking for a while, he said with certainty, "A...A...da."

Thranduil stayed where he was.The elf looked at him in bewilderment, then got up and came over, poking his father's face with a hand and saying, "A...da?"

Seeing that his father still didn't respond, he grabbed his father's face with his hands again - this little guy was really hard, Thranduil frowned instinctively in pain - but it was only for a moment, and the next moment he She has already held up that round pink face with both hands.

"Call again, my dear son, my love."

"A...da..." Legolas responded while putting his little hand on the corner of his father's eye.It was only then that Thranduil realized that the tears had already fallen quietly, was it because of self-blame, or because of the endless joy at this moment?

Maybe it's both, Thranduil thought so, and gently embraced the young child in his arms, just like embracing a young sapling, so cautious but with strong love.The little fellow stretched out two small arms around his neck, completely forgot about the previous little disaster in a moment, and repeated the word just now with excitement like every toddler, clumsily as he was in the spring forest The first bird song is even more beautiful.

In the countless days to come, you will call me "Ada" countless times, and you will understand the meaning of this word better than today, but you may never know that the first "Ada" that is so immature and clumsy How important it is to me... Thranduil hugged his son's arm with a little force, but no matter what the future holds, no matter whether the shadow returns to the earth or not, I will do my best to keep you safe and keep you safe. Grow happily, stay away from war and pain, my green leaf, I live to love you.
