I'm Tauriel.

Before those things happened and I was just an ordinary captain of the jungle guard, my impression of Velodis can be summed up in three words——

baffling;

Under normal circumstances, would any prisoner smile at the person who captured him or even introduce himself?

However, this familiarity of Velodis is hardly annoying.On the one hand, she has a very good sense of proportion, and her attitude seems to be intimate but also keeps a distance. On the other hand, her smile is too sincere and warm, which makes people unbearable to refuse.

Mysterious identity;

I thought Velodis was really just an ordinary human ranger.

Until I happened to bump into His Majesty Thranduil talking to her, his attitude was actually considered polite... well, although there was something in the words.

In front of Velodis, His Majesty unceremoniously pointed out Legolas' favor for me and warned me. Although it was so obvious on the surface, I am not stupid, how could I not notice His Majesty's other things? Have deep meaning.

After all, almost no one could fail to see Velodis's thoughts on Legolas.

Gentle and kind.

I have to say that Velodis has a really good temper. We have thrown her into the dungeon twice. His Majesty Thranduil is kind on the surface but hides a knife in his smile, and Legolas has not given her much kindness from the beginning to the end. Even so, Velodis never looked worried or complained.

I almost thought Velodis was such a person who never got angry.

Later, Chili and the others escaped from the dungeon, but a large group of half-orcs suddenly appeared. Those disgusting things really became more and more wanton, and dared to come so close to the castle of the Woodland Kingdom!

Those goblins were not targeting us, and after the dwarves drifted away down the river, they stopped fighting and withdrew quickly, but Legolas and I still caught a living.

The process of interrogating him was very infuriating. The guy's tongue was as dirty as his heart, and he didn't want to answer the questions obediently. !

I have to say that I was indeed furious at the time. If His Majesty Thranduil did not allow it, I should have slaughtered that scum on the spot, but after His Majesty sternly ordered me to leave, I could no longer restrain my worry and anger. He took the weapon and hurried into the forest.

I didn't feel a little scared until I calmed down after entering the depths of the forest.

I came out so recklessly, how can I explain to His Majesty afterwards?What's more, no matter how confident I am in my skills, I still have self-knowledge. It is impossible for me to deal with dozens of orcs by myself.

But do you want to go back like this?I am really not reconciled.Although I really don't want to believe it, I did see Kili's leg hit by an arrow. I thought it was an ordinary arrow wound, but now it seems that what the orc said may be true.

In fact, when Kili and his companions left together, that should have been the last time we met, but at that time, I was just a little bit reluctant, and maybe subconsciously felt that there would be a chance to meet again.However, when I knew that he might die soon, the feeling was completely different, as if a hole had been dug in the heart and lead was poured into it. Rushed to him without any other thought.

When I was in a dilemma, the first person I thought of was Legolas.

I'd be lying if I said I never meant anything like that to Legolas.

What His Majesty Thranduil said to me in front of Velodis was not all a joke. If Legolas treated me the same as other girls, His Majesty would not open his eyes and talk nonsense.

I admit that I am more interested in fighting and swords than playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I am still a young elf after all. When a handsome prince with extraordinary skills expressed his affection for me, I was a little tempted Is it normal?

However, I have never imagined that I can really be with Legolas. After all, His Majesty will never allow it. I really can’t do this like Velodis, she obviously also should understand.No matter how humble I am, at least I am still an elf, and Velodis, let alone a ranger, even if she is a descendant of a human queen, His Majesty probably would not nod on this point.

Since it is doomed to be fruitless, giving up decisively is the best choice, right?

Having said that, I was secretly relieved when Legolas did come after me.Velodis was with him, which was to be expected.

"I thought you were half-orcs." I joked.

"If I were a goblin, you would be dead now," said Legolas. "Tauriel, you alone cannot deal with thirty goblins."

"But I'm not alone," I replied.

Legolas smiled helplessly: "You knew I would come."

I wanted to smile too, but before I could bend the corners of my lips, a sharp gaze suddenly shot at me, and my smile froze involuntarily.

It was Velodis, and I looked at her in surprise.

Obviously, she was angry, and it was hard to even describe her appearance at the moment. She looked almost angry.

I never thought that Velodis would look like this when she was angry. She is always gentle and tolerant, with a mischievous or bright smile on her face all the time, and her brows are like being lightened by a breeze in March. The brushed willow leaves, the lips are like roses that bloomed in May, and the eyes are like lake water reflecting the bright sunshine in July. Who would have thought that when she really lowered her face, she would be so terrifying?

For a moment, the shadow of His Majesty even flashed before my eyes. Of course, Velodis is not as calm and pretentious as His Majesty Thranduil, but there is also a faint sense of majesty between his eyebrows and eyes. She has the aura of a king, and her figure seems to have suddenly become taller.

A shudder ran down my spine, and I couldn't help lowering my head.

"Your Majesty is angry, Tauriel." Legolas didn't notice the abnormal atmosphere between me and Velodis, and continued, "He has favored you for hundreds of years, but you have disobeyed his will , betrayed his trust."

My heart sank.

"Come back with me," said Legolas, "and he will forgive you."

"But I won't forgive myself!" I retorted a little excitedly, "Your Majesty never allows half-orcs to enter our country, but this time he let them cross the border to hunt down our prisoners."

"Their fight has nothing to do with us."

"It has something to do with us! They will make progress, and every time they succeed, they will become stronger. Are we going to stand by and let the darkness fall? Don't we belong to this world?"

Legolas seems to be convinced by me, and Velodis, she has returned to her original calm appearance, I can't see if she is still angry, and I can't tell if she is. Convinced by my words, but she made no comment.

Long Lake Town has always had trade activities with Mirkwood, so it is still very easy for us to find a boat.

I have never felt that Long Lake is so big. The wet and cold mist is pervasive on the surface of the lake. Even if I am an elf, I can't see the town in the distance clearly.

While I was thinking about Kili, Velodis quietly came to me.

"Miss Taurel," she said softly, "I want to know your thoughts on a few things."

I turned my head and glanced at Legolas standing at the stern. He also noticed the movement on our side, but after frowning, he turned his head and chatted with the elf who was rowing the boat.

I turned my head to look at Velodis, feeling guilty for some reason. "What's up?"

"I think you can guess what I'm going to ask," she said, looking into my eyes. "What on earth do you think about His Highness Legolas and Kili?"

really.

But what do I think?I don't know myself.

I've long since run out of ideas about Legolas, because there's nothing going on between the two of us.

But there won't be any possibility between me and Qili, right?Even if we can disregard the hatred between our two races and be together with other people's opposition, what about a hundred years from now?He is doomed to disappear, but I must linger on this land forever.

"I thought you and Kili were in love with each other." Seeing that I didn't speak, Velodis continued, her eyes suddenly sharpened again, "but what do you mean now? What do you mean by 'I'm not alone? '? If you don't like His Royal Highness Legolas, what right do you have to let him go to danger with you?"

"I didn't let Legolas come with me." I couldn't help crying out aggrieved.

"But you knew he would come with you." Velodis didn't back down, "You despicably took advantage of his affection for you, and at the same time excused yourself in this way, you are too selfish, Tauri you!"

"Enough!" Just when I was speechless, Legolas stood next to us at some point, startling Velodis and me.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Velodis." Legolas looked at Velodis sternly, with a stiff tone, "But Tauriel is right, I came here with her voluntarily."

"..." Velodis looked as if he had been slapped, his face turned red and then pale.

"I don't think Taurier is selfish. On the contrary, I agree with her point of view. At this time, we really can't turn a blind eye to the darkness."

"I didn't mean this—" Velodis opened his mouth to retort, but was interrupted.

"In the end, no matter what, this is a matter between me, Tauriel, and that dwarf. Please don't meddle in other people's business."

Velodis bit his lip and lowered his head.

Legolas pulled me to the stern of the boat, and when I turned around, I saw Velodis standing alone at the bow, standing there silently, alone, and stubbornly.

I suddenly felt sorry for her, even though I was the one being defended by Legolas.

It is one of the most aggrieved things in the world to give a piece of sincerity that is not appreciated or even accepted.

It was already night when we arrived at Changhu Town, and it was not difficult to find the dwarves. The hut with the most orcs around was the hut.

After a fierce battle, all the orcs in the house were wiped out by the three of us.

"There are still some dead. Tauriel, let's go." Legolas kept chasing outside.

I looked at Qili lying on the ground with a pale face, and I was extremely entangled for a while.

"He's dying," said one of the dwarves who accompanied Kili.

I looked at Kili, and then at Legolas who was waiting for me at the door.

"Tauriel." Legolas called my name again, motioned for me to follow, and then walked away without looking back.

I made up my mind and walked out quickly. As soon as I reached the door, Qili's uncontrollable painful voice stopped me abruptly.

I stood at the door, struggling desperately.

Another dwarf ran towards the door, holding a bunch of green plants in his hands, and I recognized what it was at a glance.

"Acilas." Velodis came out of the house and took the Kingleaf Clover from the dwarf, "With this, there is no problem, you go after Legolas, Tauriel, hand over here Give me."

I just made the decision to stay and save Kili, when I heard Velodis say that, I couldn't help but froze there.

Only then did I suddenly understand the real choice in my heart.

"What are you waiting for?" Velodis looked at me apprehensively, "Don't worry, although I'm not an elf, I learned medicine in Rivendell, so it's no problem to treat this kind of wound."

"I'll stay," I said, "and you go after Legolas."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

"I thought you were the one who said you were going to hunt down the orcs, Tauriel." After a while, Velodis said, "If I hadn't come with you, would you have let Legolas deal with it alone? All Orcs?"

Her eyes didn't even have that angry expression before, as if she was wearing a mask, without revealing any emotions.

I had nothing to say, and I was really ashamed, but I still didn't intend to change my mind.

Velodis came over indifferently, and roughly stuffed the Axilas grass into my hand, not even wanting to look at me, and left quickly.

I saw both of them again early the next morning.

In just one night, Changhu Town was in ruins. Looking at the crying human beings around me, I couldn't help but sigh.

"Taurell." Qili, who looked much better and was able to walk, came to me.

I looked at him and couldn't help but smile.

"Kili, go!" his companions called him.

This time, I'm afraid it's really the last time we meet, I sighed in my heart, the sweetness just now turned into bitterness in an instant: "You have to go."

After saying this, I bowed my head and walked away, but a few seconds later, Qili suddenly shouted at me: "Tauurier, come with me!"

For a moment, I couldn't believe I actually heard those words.

"I know how I feel, I'm not afraid of anything." Kili walked up to me quickly, "You make me feel alive."

"..." However, after a brief sense of surprise, I quickly regained my senses, "I'm sorry——"

"Tauriel." Kili pulled me back, "I love you."

At that time, I suddenly understood why Velodis could still love Legolas wholeheartedly even though he knew there would be no result.

I probably never really liked Legolas, otherwise, how could I have easily given up because of His Majesty Thranduil's opposition.Like now, even though I know it's like moths to a flame, I've never seen it so clearly: I love Kili, and I'd love to be with him, even if it wouldn't be blessed love , even after a hundred years I will be alone forever.

At that moment, I almost wanted to agree to him.

If I hadn't noticed Legolas and Velodis behind me.

Kili stepped back reluctantly, then turned back abruptly, thrusting his runestone into my hand.

"Keep it, take it as my promise."

I remember what kind of promise this stone represented—

I will come back to you.

I looked at his gradually receding figure, my nose was sour, and my eyes were wet.

Velodis didn't go with the dwarves, but she was discussing something with Legolas now, and they both looked serious.

"... the birds... spread throughout Middle-earth..."

"Half-orcs... lead here..."

"...Borg...Gundaba...The Misty Mountains—"

"Your Highness Legolas." Their discussion was interrupted by Faerun who came, "I have brought His Majesty's order, and he told you to go back immediately."

"I see." Legolas nodded, "Come back again, Velodis. Tauriel, let's go."

"No, Your Highness." Phelan said, "Tauurier has been expelled."

Like a heavy blow, my eyes went black.

"Deportation?" Legolas was also taken aback, but soon, he said firmly, "Tell my father, if Tauriel can't go back, then I won't go back either."

"Legolas, that is the king's order." I was a little panicked.

"Yes, he is my king, but he cannot command my heart," replied Legolas. "I am going to Gundaba. Will you come with me?"

I really had nowhere to go, so I agreed, but...

I was very sorry to sit behind Legolas.

Yesterday I left Legolas to treat Kili, but today Legolas turned against His Majesty Thranduil because of me.

What would Velodis think?

I turned around, thinking that I would see Velodis standing alone like yesterday.

However, it does not.

Velodis was treating the wound of a burnt woman, while coaxing the child in her arms, with a warm smile on his face, and he didn't even bother to look at us.
