[The Silmarillion] Romimus

"Ah, Aragorn, Lord Glorfindel, are you still here?" Gilraine poked her head in.

"Why are you here?" Aragorn stood up and said narrowly, "I thought you must spend tonight with father."

"Of course, your father invited me to have dinner in the garden. You don't have to come if you're fine."

Aragorn pretended to have a hurt expression: "Wow, you came here on purpose just to tell your son not to disturb the two-person world between you and your father?"

"You pretend to be so wronged, isn't it the same day every year, and you still need me to remind you?" Gilleen scolded with a smile, "I just saw you on the way to the banquet The lights are on here, just stop by and have a look."

"You really looked gorgeous tonight," said Glorfindel.

"Thank you for your appreciation." Gilleen brushed the broken hair beside her ears with a smile, "How is Lord Glorfindel doing today? Did you receive any gifts?"

"The queen really likes to joke." Glorfindel was stunned for a moment. "I don't mean anything else, but I am an elf, and Gondor is the kingdom of humans. How could I receive a gift from a human woman?"

"Not all women who give gifts today will get the response they want a month later." Gillian said, "Some couples are already in love, and gift giving is just a ceremony to show their love again ; Some men and women clearly have a crush on each other but are not sure about each other's attitude. It would be very lucky to be able to boldly speak out; but there are some stubborn girls who know that their gifts will disappear once they are given, but they don't hold on to hope. There are not a few who still regard death as home; although there is a big difference between elves and humans, is it possible that Lord Glorfindel is still not clear about his own charm? Moreover, for many humans, elves are involuntarily yearning and adoring objects .”

"If that's the case, then I'd be really relieved." Glorfindel said, "The fewer examples of love you can't get, the better."

"Besides, the two of us have been staying here all day today, and we can't go anywhere. Even if there is a girl who wants to give a gift, I'm afraid we won't be able to find anyone." Aragorn complained.

Glorfindel paused, then smiled helplessly: "Indeed."

"That's a pity," Gilraine said.

"I don't think so. Some things cannot be measured by quantity." Glorfindel said.

But Gilleen suddenly remembered something: "Ah, even so, Lord Glorfindel, it seems that you will not return empty-handed today. I have something here, which may be suitable for you. And Aragorn, You have a share too."

She looked at the moon which was still very low outside the window, and sure that there was still some time before dinner, she motioned for Aragorn and Glorfindel to follow her.

"It's Antonia." Gillean explained as she walked ahead, "I've been asking her to teach me how to do needlework. Well, her craftsmanship is really amazing, both in shape and quality The most irritating thing is that the speed is unbelievably fast. I can sew one shirt, and she can sew three! But she said that it is useless for her to keep so many clothes, and she will hand them over to her before she leaves. me."

As soon as he arrived at the place, Gilleen opened a box, and there were several pieces of clothes of different styles neatly folded inside.

"This is what Antonia pointed out to you." Gillian took out a robe, the embroidery on the neckline and cuffs was so gorgeous that it dazzled people, Gillian handed the clothes to Aragorn, "I have seen the size Yes, there should be no problem, you can try it when you go back, and if there is something inappropriate, let someone change it."

Aragorn took it and sighed in a low voice.

"What's the matter?" Glorfindel caught the voice keenly, "I didn't expect you to react like this."

"You are a child who doesn't know how to be blessed when you are in a state of blessing." Gilleen said angrily, "Look at these embroidery, I dare say that the best tailor in the palace would bow down to Antonia, and others want to ask her to embroider a small strip You can’t even get a handkerchief, and you’re still sighing dissatisfied.”

"I don't mean that." Aragorn said hastily, "Miss Antonia's skills are of course very ingenious, and this dress is indeed very beautiful. But to be honest, it is better to wear such a delicate but cumbersome gown and gown to dance at the ball." I'd rather be galloping across the plains in the other modest cloak that's in the trunk."

"My son, your vision is really good." Gilleen laughed loudly, "Indeed, although the workmanship of that robe is extremely exquisite, it can only be said that the person who cut it was highly skilled, but it was not unbelievable. But what about this cloak, my God, I really don't know where Antonia learned such a skill, to be honest, I think it can even be compared with elves. Lord Glorfindel, what do you think? "

She took the cloak out of the box. The large piece of fabric looked very heavy, but it was very light from the way Gilleen picked it up.Gilraine draped the cloak over her arm and walked up to Glorfindel.

"I think Antonia's craftsmanship is pretty good even among the elves." Glorfindel lowered his eyes and said.

But to be honest, if Romimos is willing, it may not be impossible to make a robe that is five times or ten times more exquisite than this, and it is still clumsy to hide his identity.

"Hey!" Aragorn showed envious eyes, "I'd like to exchange ten of the best robes for one magical cloak like this."

"Why don't I want to give it to you, but with your current size, I'm afraid this cloak doesn't fit you well." Gilleen said, "Most of the clothes that Antonia gave me I can find a suitable person to give it away, only this cloak, the requirements for the person who wears it are really harsh, it is ridiculous for ordinary people to wear it like a dwarf."

"Me, me, me!" Aragorn raised his hands up and down, "I will definitely grow so tall in the future!"

"I'm afraid only the tallest and most heroic people in Gondor can be called this cloak, but they are all too strong. It's a pity that no one can wear such a good dress. I doubt that Antonia did it on purpose. " Jillraine said, paused, and looked up and down Glorfindel calmly, "However, I happened to meet Lord Glorfindel today, so it would be appropriate if I found out that this dress is not good for you. Would you like to try it?"

after an hour--

"You really should have been there to see that scene with your own eyes." Gilleen repeated tirelessly, "I knew that most elves are beautiful, and I have always known in my heart that Lord Glorfindel is indeed handsome, but even so, I still couldn't help being surprised."

"No offense, dear, I fully understand women's excitement when they see beautiful clothes and fabrics, but do you really think it's appropriate to praise another man in front of me at this time?" Arason teased jealously road.

"Oh, you also know that you are the most handsome and mighty man in the world in my heart." Gilleen said coquettishly, "What really surprised me was that the cloak really fit so well. I didn't see it because you weren't here. It was almost exactly an elf's dress. I was thinking, it's so light and warm, I should copy Antonia and make you the same, but in Lord Glorfindel. After it happened, I knew with a disheartened heart that it was a miracle that might never be accomplished by human hands."

"Why? Isn't Antonia who wove that garment also a human being?" Arazon asked.

"Honey, you and I both know how many secrets Antonia has." Gillean sighed, "I always thought that her past must have something to do with elves, and after today, I am more certain that only the magic of elves can weave It was originally blue-gray, but it was dark gray in the dark, and it turned silver-gray in the moonlight, shining like running water."

"Perhaps Antonia's ancestry also has elven blood, which really explains why she doesn't seem to have changed a bit for decades, and she is so familiar with the history of thousands of years ago that she seems to have experienced it herself." Arathon said.

"But why didn't she tell anyone?" Jillraine wondered.

"Antonia is not the type to boast about herself, and I dare say she can surprise us a lot. It's modest at best, but it seems to me like a waste of money. I hope she You can come and help me, instead of just being a worldly expert." Arazon shook his head regretfully.

"It can only be said that Antonia's ambition is not here." Gillean shrugged, "You don't need to force it, no one can make Antonia do what she doesn't want to do, not even the emperor and queen of Gondor."

"How dare I ask her to do something? People who are capable often have some weirdness, don't I know?" Arathorn smiled bitterly, "It is very important for me that she can agree to be Aragon's history teacher. It was a surprise."

"Speaking of Aragorn," Gillean said, "our son is indeed a big boy, and the magnificence, singing and dancing in the palace may no longer satisfy his vision."

"A good man should aim everywhere." Arathorn laughed. "I really have the same intention. When he grows up, let him leave Minas Tiris and wander freely."

"It's so good." Gillian said, but there was an undisguised melancholy in her eyes.

"I know you don't want him." Arathorn sighed lightly, holding his wife's hand, "but he is the future Emperor of Gondor, and sooner or later he should be like this. I also worked as a ranger for many years before I was crowned , Didn’t you and I meet like this? Who knows what kind of adventure Aragorn will have outside? Besides, he will still come back.”

"You are very confident." Gillean poured cold water on him, "What if Aragorn has other wishes and things he wants to pursue after seeing the world outside? There are probably few people in the world who don't want to be emperor, but if there are people who can Giving up the easy-to-get throne, I dare say Estelle is one of them. This child is kind and generous by nature, and sometimes too emotional, but he seems to lack a little ambition for power. He has learned ten to ten from Antonia."

"Being the emperor does not conflict with his pursuit of what he loves, and sometimes it will be his help, unless what he loves is the feeling of running freely in the wilderness." Arazon said, "But he will come back in the end, Because that's his responsibility."

Gilleen didn't answer, and the surroundings fell silent.

But Arazon suddenly laughed and said, "Now that the world is peaceful and I am in my prime, why should we ruin tonight by worrying about things that haven't happened in the future? I have an idea, if our first child is really a Extraordinary temperamental people, we can also have another choice."

"You mean... oops!" Jillian reacted immediately, her cheeks flushed, "It's really not serious!"

Arathorn laughed heartily a few times, and the two kissed each other in the dim and ambiguous candlelight.
