[The Silmarillion] Romimus

"Mother? And Miss Antonia, why are you here?" Aragorn exclaimed in surprise, "Uh, Lord Glorfindel and I just rested for a while, I'm not lazy!"

"Of course I believe that Lord Glorfindel will make the most suitable arrangement." Gillian smiled and greeted Glorfindel, and Glorfindel also nodded in return: "Your Highness the Queen."

Then his gaze involuntarily fell to Antonia next to Gilleen, and it happened that Antonia was also watching him, their gazes collided in mid-air for a moment, and then they both moved away as if nothing had happened.

"I originally agreed with Antonia to let her teach me how to weave patterns. Lord Glorfindel, you may not know that our Antonia is not only proficient in ancient and modern times, but also a well-known craftsman in Gondor, probably the skill in the palace. Even the best weaver can't match her." Jillraine laughed.

"The queen has won the prize." Antonia whispered.

Glorfindel raised his eyebrows: "Since Miss Antonia is known as the number one wise man of Gondor, she must be extremely ingenious. I am not surprised. But since the two of you have made an agreement, why did you come to the training ground?" ?”

"Because those traditional styles are too simple for Antonia." Gilleen pretended to complain, "So we discussed going outside and walking in the garden, maybe we can come up with some new styles , just passing by here, so come in and have a look.”

"I see." Glorfindel nodded.

"But I didn't expect it, but there are unexpected gains." Jillian blinked excitedly.She was still young when she married Arathorn, and she is only in her 30s now, which is really young among the Numenoreans, and occasionally she looks a little girlish, "I have never heard such a detailed story about Romimos. Do you want to continue talking about it?"

"It's all old stuff, if Her Royal Highness wants to hear it, I don't mind telling it as a story." Glorfindel's smile remained unchanged, "But you also know that although I have experienced those things myself, I have always been affected by them because of being I was deceived and only saw the surface, and Miss Antonia might know better than me when it comes to the real situation. Besides, as the number one wise man, Miss Antonia must be much better at telling stories than I am."

He smiled and looked at Antonia, and received a sharp stare as expected.

"Huh? Are you aware of those things, Antonia?" Gilraine asked.

"I know a little bit," Antonia said hesitantly, "but what is there to say about Romimos, Your Highness? The actions of that kind of person deserve to be cast aside by everyone, there is no need to explain it in such detail... "

"Hey, don't forget the past, the teacher of the future!" However, Jillian's enthusiasm was already on the rise, how could she give up so easily, "Just say it!"

"But now it's Lord Glorfindel's class time..."

"Then wait until your class this afternoon?" Glorfindel said immediately.

Antonia: "..."

"Then it's a deal!" Gilleen happily concluded.

So, in Antonia's class today, apart from the real student Aragorn, Glorfindel who had somehow made a mistake and insisted on coming, there was another high-spirited Queen Her Royal Highness Gilleen.

Haha, maybe one day, Arazon will be pulled over to listen to her lecture, haha, haha... ORZ

"Cough." Antonia cleared her throat, "Then I will continue with Lord Glorfindel's narration this morning..."

"What's your name?" Glorfindel asked her.

name?Her name is much more monotonous than some Vera and Maya. So far, there is only Romimos, but she must not say her real name, even if she is not well-known among the elves , but Ulmo and the eagles guarding Gondolin may not have forgotten the name of Romimos. Once it is exposed, all her plans will be ruined.

So she shook her head again.

Glorfindel was a little surprised: "What does this mean? Don't you have a name?"

Romemos nodded innocently.

Glorfindel looked at Exilion.

"Some Teleri elves really don't name their newborns when they are born like us." Exilion thought for a while, uncertain, "Some parents name their children after their personality is revealed. , There have been such examples before.”

"I see." Glorfindel sighed, and turned back to Romemus, "Where do you plan to go after that? Do you have any other relatives?"

Romimus pretended to be dazed, stunned for two or three seconds, then shook his head pitifully, and wrote in Glorfindel's hand, "I don't know."

Exilion frowned.

Glorfindel stood up solemnly, pulled Exilion over, and began to discuss what to do with this girl.

"We can't just leave her here," said Glorfindel. "She's so young, with no parents, and no other kind of kin. If we leave her alone in the wilderness, it won't be long before she dies." Will be captured by the orcs again."

Exilion remained expressionless: "Then what do you want to do?"

Glorfindel's expression was very tangled, he struggled for a while, and finally made up his mind: "Eck, we have to take her back to Gondolin."

"Do you still remember our laws?" Exilion reminded him calmly, "Gondolin does not allow outsiders to enter. Once someone finds a way to enter, they are never allowed to leave."

"I'll ask her opinion," Glorfindel sighed, "but both you and she should know that this is the only solution right now."

Exilion did not deny it.

So Glorfindel went back to Romimos again, just now she was timidly watching the two of them discussing, her little appearance of wanting to hear but not daring to listen was very pitiful.

Of course, you have to do a full set of plays.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am Glorfindel, lord of the Golden Flower family in the twelve families of Gondolin, and Exilion, lord of the spring, is over there." Glorfindel said to Romimos, and Ask her, "If you have nowhere to go, would you like to come with us?"

Romemos blinked blankly, as if she couldn't believe it, and then, her eyes burst into surprise, and she nodded repeatedly.

"However, there is one thing I must explain to you first." Glorfindel said seriously, "Our city is closed to the outside world. If you decide to become a member of Gondolin, you must obey its king. Turgon's orders, the most important of which, are that no one shall leave without the king's order."

What a broken rule!Romemos cursed inwardly.

But on the surface, she seemed to only hesitate for a moment before nodding in agreement.

"It's fine if you agree." Glorfindel heaved a sigh of relief. If possible, he really didn't want to see such a beautiful creature fall into the hands of a goblin. "Then don't delay, let's go back right away."

He helped Romimos up and led her to his mount. Glorfindel's white horse looked down at the strange girl in front of him curiously—it was too tall for Romimus, Romi Moss took a step back, as if out of fear.

"Don't be afraid, it has a very gentle temper and will never let you fall." Glorfindel couldn't help laughing, and was about to reach out to hug Romimos onto the horse, but Exilion suddenly made a sound.

"Wait a minute," he said.

"What's wrong?" Glorfindel stopped moving and teased Exilion, "Don't tell me you want to carry her?"

"I don't care, but seeing how active you are, let me give you this opportunity." Exilion retorted, and then became serious again, "I'm serious, have you thought about it, even though what she said to us now That's fine, but what if you change your mind later?"

"Then what's your idea?"

"Turgon doesn't allow us to go in and out freely without orders. In fact, it's just because he is afraid that Gondolin's position will be exposed." Exilion said, taking out a thick cloth, "how about this, let's cover her eyes, In this way, even if she is brought in by us, she will not know the way to enter Gondolin, so if she wants to leave in the future, she can be accommodated if she is told by His Majesty."

Romimos's heart sank, but there was no flaw on his face, and he leaned towards Glorfindel unconsciously.

This man is difficult to deal with, she thought to herself, looking at Exilion, and it seems that taking Gondolin will not be as easy as she first thought.

"Alright." Glorfindel thought for a while, and found it reasonable. He bent down and asked Romimos, "Do you understand what we mean?"

Romimos's big eyes glistened uncomfortably, his lips were tightly pressed, but he could only nod slightly to express his agreement.

It doesn't matter, there will be a long time to come, she will always find another chance to figure out the way in and out.

In this way, although Romimos hadn't figured out the way to Gondolin from the outside world for a while, she still used the kindness of the elves to sneak into it smoothly, and the seeds of the disaster were planted.

According to the setting, Romemos should be an ordinary wood elf who has never been to Aman Island or seen Vilamia. To put it bluntly, he is simple and natural, but to put it bluntly, he is a country bumpkin who has never seen any big world One, so after feeling that Glorfindel horse stopped and reached out to undo the cloth covering her eyes, Romimos knew that it was Gondolin, and secretly brewed his feelings, ready to make a bewitched look. He was stunned by the bustling beauty in front of him.

But what Romimos didn't expect was that she didn't need to pretend at all. When she opened her eyes and saw the scene in front of her, she was really taken aback for a moment.

Gondolin's beauty and splendor far exceeded Romimos' expectations, and it even resembled the elf city of Tirian in Aman. Towering spires and white marble steps can be seen everywhere, roaring waterfalls, flowers everywhere, and strings There were bursts of voices and laughter.

This is what she imagined the city-state should be like when she came to Central Continent!What the hell is that Angband of Melkor?Is that where normal people would like to live? !Sauron, don't you feel uncomfortable breathing that poisonous gas every day? !

Compared with Morgoth and Sauron, Romimos has at least one advantage over them, that is, when she sees beautiful and amazing things, she will love them from the bottom of her heart and Don't be stingy with her praise, instead of being jealous like those two and wanting to possess or even destroy.

"But Romimos planned to destroy Gondolin himself in the end, didn't he?" Aragorn questioned, "Does she really have feelings for that city?"

Glorfindel's gaze locked on Antonia.

And Antonia subconsciously staggered her gaze. "There are some," she replied, "You may not believe it, but Romimos is not as inhuman as Morgoth and Sauron—or she thinks she is the same as the elves and humans." With normal emotions and desires, she does have something she really likes."

"In this case, why can she destroy Gondolin so cruelly?" Jillraine sighed.

"You may have misunderstood something, my lord," said Antonia, "Romimos did appreciate Gondolin, but she did not destroy Gondolin out of jealousy—in fact, in a way, Romimus She is quite conceited. She never felt that her creative talent was inferior to any elves or gods. It can only be said that each has its own strengths, and naturally she will not be jealous—the reason why she destroyed Gondolin was because she came to Gondo. Lin's purpose is to destroy it."

Aragorn couldn't understand: "Why? Doesn't she also think that Gondolin is much better than Morgoth? Why is she still obsessed with working for Sauron?"

"Wrong, Estelle, Romimos is not working for Sauron, she has always been for herself." Glorfindel spoke suddenly, with a mocking smile on his face , but the sadness in her eyes could not be concealed, "She may really like Gondolin, but she loves herself more than it. Do you remember why she agreed to come to Gondolin to spy on Morgoth for Morgoth? "

"That's right." Antonia nodded in agreement, "Romemos' goal from the very beginning was to get rid of all control and restraint. Gondolin is certainly beautiful, but if he can only stay there forever, what will happen to Romimos?" For Moss, it’s just a more beautiful cage, which is essentially the same as Angband.”

A moment of silence.

"Please continue, Antonia." Glorfindel sighed, feeling a little depressed.
