[The Silmarillion] Romimus

"What? I don't." Glorfindel retorted automatically, "and why should I be jealous?"

"You must have felt it too. Ever since Tur came to Gondolin, Lan Wen has always been very interested in him, although she didn't show it obviously. Of course, the girl's reserve is not incomprehensible." Eck Sirion shrugged.

"Maybe it's because Lan Wen hasn't seen many human beings before, so it's just a novelty." Glorfindel explained without confidence.

"You really think so? When Hur and Hurin came to Gondolin, Lan Wen was not very enthusiastic about them. That was the first time she saw humans."

"That's probably because Tur is the envoy sent by Lord Ulmo, so it seems more mysterious." Glorfindel continued to make excuses.

Exilion was startled.

Indeed, if there is anything that can be seen in Tour that is different from ordinary people, it is nothing more than his identity as an envoy of Valar. It is not too strange that Lan Wen worships him because of this, but Exilion always I feel that there is a strange sense of disobedience that cannot be explained.

Did Lan Wen worship the gods of the West so much?

"Speaking of it, you just don't want to admit that Lan Wen may have a crush on Tour." Exilion temporarily put aside the doubts that flashed in his heart, and continued to tease his friend.

"...If Lan Wen really likes Tur, then I have nothing to say." Glorfindel said against his will, "But I really don't want such a thing to happen, but it's not out of jealousy. I mean Yes, Tull is a human after all."

"It is not unprecedented for elves and humans to fall in love."

"I'm not saying that humans and elves cannot be together, but humans cannot escape their destiny after all." Glorfindel sighed, "Even if Tur is the messenger of Lord Ulmo, the aging and death of humans But it's the same design, even Vera can't change it, if Lan Wen really fell in love with Tour, what should she do then? Die with a broken heart?"

"Based on Lan Wen's beauty, maybe she can also seek the grace of Lord Mandos and become the second Princess Lucian." Exilion joked.

Glorfindel couldn't help but smile.

The happiness of Lucien and Beren is an arrangement of fate, and the combination of elves and humans must have some extraordinary significance. To be honest, Glorfindel dare not expect that kind of luck to fall on Lan Wen.

Taking a step back, even if Lan Wen really becomes the second Lucian as Exilion said, then she will become a mortal and meet the end of death, which may not be a bad thing for Lan Wen.

But it was hard for Glorfindel to be genuinely happy about it, because then he would lose Lan Wen for the second time, and this time, never again.

"That is to say, if the person Lan Wen likes is an elf, you will sincerely bless them?"

"It can't be said so absolutely." Glorfindel thought, "Of course I still respect Lan Wen's own choice, but indeed, you can say that I am partial, I think Lan Wen is worthy of any elf prince , or at least a lord."

These words sounded too arrogant, but Exilion glanced at Lan Wen from a distance—she was standing on the sidelines watching the teaching discussion between Tur and Idril, her slightly pursed lips were reminiscent of From the newly picked ruddy and crystal clear cherries in spring.

She is indeed a stunning beauty. In the whole of Middle-earth, only Princess Lucien can share her beauty equally. However, Elu Thingol felt that no one in the world was worthy of his daughter. Thinking about it this way, Glorfindel's standards seem to be Not too high.

"What do you think of Meglin? Someone thought they were a good match a long time ago."

Glorfindel snorted inexplicably: "It's too gloomy."

"Duilin?"

"The mouth is too poor."

"Agamos?"

"The mouth is too cheap."

"Roger?"

"It's too boring."

"Penrod?"

"Does he have time to fall in love? Seriously, why doesn't he merge the Xueta family and the Liangzhu family, so as to save the trouble of running around every day?"

"What about Galdo?"

"Galdo is actually a nice person," Glorfindel frowned, "but he's just too nice, he seems a bit meek."

"Sargant?...Forget it." Exilion was fed up with Glorfindel's faultfinding, and it took a lot of effort to maintain his image without rolling his eyes. "Then what about me?"

"You?" Glorfindel looked at Exilion for a while as if he had known Exilion again. In all fairness, Exilion couldn't find any faults, but it was a pity, "You are not the type that Lan Wen likes, Lan Wen prefers blonde hair."

Exilion almost lost his image and rolled his eyes to the sky.

Blonde hair is a typical symbol of the Vanya clan, although it is also found in Noldor and Sindar, but the proportion is pitifully small, and the entire Gondolin can be counted with one hand, and it looks enough to match Lan Wen , besides Glorfindel—

Oh, there is one.

Glorfindel and Exilion obviously thought of the same person, their expressions changed, and the two looked up at Lan Wen at the same time.

Beside Lan Wen, Tull, who inherited the blond hair from his father's line, was supporting her shoulders and arms to correct her movements.

When Romemus finally ended his "torture" at Tour and came back pitifully to find Glorfindel, he saw Glorfindel listless, even his shiny blond hair could hardly conceal his lethargy look up.

Romemos knew that he had wronged him, but it shouldn't be like this, right?Not a child.

"I'm just curious about Tour's previous experience outside. Gondolin has been gone for too long." Romimos coaxed him half helplessly and half funny, "It's definitely not that you didn't teach well, although I also I don’t understand, but Glorfindel must be the most powerful.”

"I'm not unhappy." Glorfindel said in a depressed tone, "Tur's character and intelligence are indeed beyond reproach, not to mention he still has potential to be tapped, I can foresee that he will do extraordinary things in the future, maybe he The legendary story will be no less than that of Belem."

What is this all about?Romimos raised his eyebrows and looked at Exilion suspiciously.

"Glorfindel is jealous." Exilion laughed.

"I do not have!"

jealous?Whose jealous?Tours?Romemos glanced back at Tour inexplicably, the other party was talking happily with Idril - this is the normal state of those two people, once they chat, others can't get in at all, thanks to this and not once did Romimos have a complete and complete conversation alone with Tull.

So Glorfindel was jealous because of this?

Heh, I swore to her before that I didn't like Princess Idriel, you liar!Romemos snorted coldly in his heart.

"I'm tired from practicing today, so I'll go back first."

"Lan Wen?" Glorfindel looked at the other party inexplicably, but turned cold first, "Lan Wen, wait for me! Don't walk so fast, and be careful not to trip again."

Exilion watched Glorfindel leave after Lan Wen, and shook his head.

These two people are hopeless.

In fact, Exilion somewhat understood why Glorfindel was unwilling to admit that he liked Lanwen, and why he didn't feel that other Gondolin lords would pose a threat, but he felt that Tur was a potential rival in love.

This is the same as why Idril and Princess Yarisil have been with the lords for so many years. It is reasonable to say that they are talented, beautiful, and well-matched, but no one has taken a fancy to anyone.

They are so familiar with each other. Exilion and the others even watched Idril step by step from a babbling little girl to the current and charming appearance. They respect and love her because she is a princess. She, at the same time, dotes on her like a younger sister, but if you want to talk about the throbbing love between a man and a woman... Uh, there is really no such thing.

This may have been the meaning of Lan Wen to Glorfindel. When they met for the first time, Lan Wen was only 48 years old. Although her mind was very close to full maturity (the elf was about 50 years old), she was small and well-behaved. Obedient, Glorfindel and others habitually treat her like a child, no matter how beautiful the girl is, it is naturally impossible for her to have any special thoughts.

There is no doubt about Glorfindel's love for Lan Wen. Maybe he gave her a shelter out of sympathy and pity for the girl at the beginning, but after being together day and night for dozens of hundreds of years, even a stone is worthless. It's time to have feelings, let alone such a beautiful and painful girl as Lan Wen.

But Glorfindel dared to swear to Iluvatar that the relationship was once pure family affection.

But here lies the problem: Glorfindel has always regarded Lan Wen as his own sister before, who would have thought that one day this kind of relationship would cross the line?Even if the two have no blood relationship at all, it still feels weird. If someone with a stronger moral heart might even feel guilty.

Then when did he have those unspeakable feelings for Lan Wen?

Glorfindel couldn't give an exact answer, of course, he didn't even admit that this premise was true.

But no doubt it was after the day he broke Lan Wen's secret in Maeglin's forge.

That incident was a watershed moment, Glorfindel realized for the first time that he didn't know Lan Wen as well as he imagined, and not just a little bit, the real Lan Wen might be very different from the girl he thought he was very familiar with.To put it a bit exaggerated, if Meglin hadn't proved that she was Lan Wen, Glorfindel would definitely have thought that girl was a stranger who looked exactly like Lan Wen.

But how charming that girl is, like the dazzling rays of light in the sky at sunset, every strand has its own unique brilliance, she is beautiful, confident and flamboyant, full of passion and spirituality.

If such Lan Wen fell in love with someone, Glorfindel felt that it was impossible for anyone to be willing to reject her.

However, this is not all the bad things. For some reason, Lan Wen misunderstood his relationship with Princess Idril again, and this time, no matter how Glorfindel denies it, she doesn't believe him anymore.

"Sister Idril is so nice, liking her is not something to be ashamed of, why are you so unconfident, Glorfindel?" Romimos smiled.

"I don't like Princess Idril..." Glorfindel 1 clarified with his forehead.

"Then sister Idril has a better relationship with Tur, why are you unhappy?" Romimos rolled his eyes, "Besides, the Tull people are really good, but he is a human being, how could it be possible? Marry an elf?"

"Lan Wen, do you think it is impossible for elves and humans to be together?" Glorfindel seemed to miss the point, "But Princess Lucian and Beren..."

"Such a thing is basically unprecedented," Romimos said very disapprovingly, "How could it be such a coincidence that all the elf princesses just fell in love with humans? If Sister Idril is with Tur, we will Write your name upside down!"

A few years later, Tour and Idril were married.

Romemos: "..."

What's wrong with these elf princesses? !It seems that rabbits do not eat grass beside their nests is their first principle in choosing a mate!And finding a young talent of their own clan to marry seems to kill them!

Although he was roaring in his heart, Romimos would definitely be the first to stand up and tear him apart who dared to stand up against the two being together.

Elves who fall in love with humans usually don’t have a good end. Lucky ones can die with their lovers like Lucian, but if they don’t get the same sympathy and gifts, humans will be over after death, but the elves Must linger in the world forever to taste the bitter fruit of losing a loved one.

But what's the matter with Romimos?It was not she who fell in love with humans.For her, Idril and Tour's love has only one meaning: her greatest "rival in love" has since disappeared.

It was a grand event worth celebrating for three days and three nights.

Besides, Tull was fair-haired, and Elendil, son of him and Idril, inherited the color of his parents' hair as Romimos had hoped.

Romemos loves this little angel with brilliant blond hair. She loves children. Children are one of the most creative and malleable things in the world. Smart and intelligent children are worth cherishing like rough jade. Well, Meglin was so cute back then, but it's a pity that he didn't look like a child too soon.

"May the light always be with you, or you are the light yourself." Romimos blessed him in this way when Elendil was full moon.

But Meglin and Romimos had the opposite idea, and he hated the boy to death.

After the birth of Erendil, Meglin became more and more gloomy, and he was no longer close to anyone, including Romemos, because in his opinion, Romemos' love for Erendil was for him. betray.He devoted more time to work and smithing, and more often than ever he left Gondolin, in violation of Turgon's edict, to mine in the mountains beyond.

Romemos would go out with him at first, but later Meglin went out too many times, and Romemos was worried that other people would be suspicious, so he gradually let Meglin act alone.

Until one day, people from the Mole family found her in a hurry.

"What's wrong?" Romimos asked strangely.

The man didn't speak, but glanced at Glorfindel beside him.

Glorfindel frowned, and stood up: "Eck said he has something to do with me, so I'll go out."

"Come back soon." Romimos waved his hand with a smile.

After Glorfindel left, Romimos looked at the man from the Mole family again: "What happened?"

"Lord Maeglin went out of the city to mine without authorization a few days ago. He originally said he would be back within three days." The elf was very panicked. "But it has been almost a week now, and there is still no news."

Romemos's heart sank suddenly.

"I see." She thought for a moment, "You go back first, keep this matter a secret, and don't let others know, I will find a solution as soon as possible."
