[Zhongyingmei] She is a small public

Itio is a very peculiar elf.

Although most of the elves are very ascetic, but generally they still have some pursuits of their own.Even Arwen, the daughter of Lord Rivendell, who is famous for her gentleness and beauty, also has her own pursuit-she gave all her rebellion and persistence to her love with Aragorn.

Thranduil is a very personal king.He has controlled the dense forest—the largest forest in the northern world for thousands of years, but he has rarely had contact with the outside world.He knows that all things are short-lived, so he doesn't even bother to communicate with the mortal world.

Lord Elrond is different, because of his easy-going and friendliness, Lord Rivendell is known in Middle-earth as diligent and good at governing the territory.

Speaking of which, Thranduil is responsible for the prosperity and peace and contentment of the Jungle Kingdom, but Middle-Earth has few records about this elf king who has been in charge for thousands of years, and only a few words are mentioned.All this is because of Thranduil's arrogance and eccentricity.

For him, he doesn't care about mortal affairs, it is enough for his people and territory to live and work in peace and contentment.

If there is anything the Elf King cares about most in this world, then only his wife—Chen Xi.The elves all said that the cold and arrogant elf king will only show his gentle side when facing his wife.Together, they spent thousands of years in a forest, undisturbed by humans, away from the chaos of the world, until a war took away the life of the elf queen, leaving only their newly grown son and monk as a child daughter.

Then everyone discovered that Thranduil, who was the most aloof, was also the most affectionate elf.If it hadn't been for the elf prince who was too young to take the throne at that time, Thranduil would have passed the throne to his son long ago, and then passed away with the dawn.

The responsibility to the country made Thranduil have to struggle to recover for a long time, even though the person who was more important to him than everything else had never returned.

Since the death of his mother, the feud between Legolas and Thranduil has gradually deepened over time.In the past 1000 years, Legolas was happy. His parents were harmonious and loving, the country lived and worked in peace and contentment, and he had a young and lovely sister.

Until the mother died, it seemed that the gentle and happy world in the past was also broken.Legolas finally realized that Thranduil loved Dawn more than anything, more than his country, more than his children.After the death of his wife, Thranduil was even immersed in grief for several years. He could not bear the responsibility of a father to take care of his children, nor could he manage the country.Legolas had to assume the responsibility that originally belonged to Thranduil.

Since then, Thranduil never mentioned the queen's name, as if she had never appeared.

Even though Thranduil regained his power and managed the country later, Legolas never forgave him, and that repressed emotion reached its climax during the Battle of the Five Armies.By that day, Thranduil had no nostalgia for this world. He only wanted to take care of his country and people wholeheartedly, so he was even unwilling to send troops before the crisis, and just wanted to stay out of it.

Legolas hated his indifference and arrogance, so he chose freedom, chose to leave this stifling forest, and went to a wider world.

When Thranduil thought Legolas died in that war, he realized his love for his son. He found him, and he was glad that he was still alive, but Legolas had made up his mind to go.

Before leaving, Thranduil told Legolas about Aragorn, who had just made his name as a ranger, but he couldn't even say 'I love you' or 'I'm sorry'.All he could say was, "Your mother loves you very much."

What Thranduil once pursued was his love with Chen Xi, and also the living and working in peace and contentment of his land.What Legolas wants is a wider world and freedom, and they are all working hard for what they want.

Whether it is Odin and Thor, Thranduil and Legolas, there may be a complex emotional entanglement between all kings and their eldest sons. , perhaps all boys have the idea of ​​rebelling against their father's authority, and this plot may be more intense in the king and the eldest son.

But Itiou seems to be different, she is a girl and a younger sister.She is sometimes interested in the outside world, and sometimes attracted by various interests, but in fact, she doesn't seem to have what she really wants.It seems that to her, anything is acceptable.She wasn't particularly interested in anything, and during her most rebellious two years, she just felt that she and Legolas would always be misunderstood by outsiders.

She watched Legolas run away from home after the Battle of the Five Armies to find freedom, and she envied him a little, not because he was free, but because he knew what he wanted.Legolas never knew what he wanted, and no one could reverse what he decided.The years of guarding the Lord of the Rings changed him, and he found a more important meaning in his life, which was far greater than the jungle, in a wider world.

Itiou seems to be a tree growing in a dense forest. She is ascetic and desireless, as clear and pure as the reflection of the afternoon sun.After every father and son quarrel, every time they made a decision, they turned their heads and saw Itiou behind them, standing there forever it seemed.

After Legolas traveled westward, Thranduil realized how important he was to him.The belated guilt and pain of loss made the Elf King return to the pain of losing his wife back then.On a drunken night, Thranduil suddenly realized that he had never left the dense forest for thousands of years, and that Middle-earth had undergone several changes, but he had never set foot in it.At that moment, he became interested for the first time in the world that had drawn Legolas away.

He walked out of the room lightly, and saw Itiou orderly directing various matters. She was standing on the steps in front of the throne, her voice was cold, soft and firm. She was already so tall. Suddenly, Thranduil seemed to see It was Chenxi standing there.

He has complicated feelings about his little daughter, he loves her and wants to give her everything, but as Itio grows up, he becomes more and more like her mother, and that makes him feel painful.He still has requirements for Legolas, but for Itio, he only wanted her to be a carefree princess for the rest of his life, but he never thought that one day she would become more important than Legolas. Good at managing the country.

He realized that his youngest daughter was already an excellent heir, and he was finally able to hand over the country he had governed for thousands of years to her with confidence.

Before leaving, Thranduil told Itio all the secrets and details of the country, including the star stream connected to another universe.

Itiou was still as patient and gentle as usual, and seemed to accept everything well, until Thranduil put on his cloak, and the smile on the corner of her mouth finally disappeared.She pursed her lips, and then asked softly, "When are you coming back?"

"I don't know." Thranduil said, "No matter how vast Middle-earth is, 50 or 100 years will always be enough."

He looked at Itio, and the corner of Itio's mouth moved, and she smiled softly again.

"Don't worry, Father," she said, "I'll take care of everything."

……

Thranduil left.

Itiou still doesn't know what she wants. She stays in the dense forest, and it seems that as time goes by, she gradually gets used to things that she didn't like at first.Thranduil left her his ring, which only a king can wear.

At first she refused to take the throne that originally belonged to Thranduil, and she didn't want to wear the ring, let alone let the elves call her 'Your Majesty'.It seems that if she remains a princess forever, Thranduil will one day return as king.

"Your Majesty the King is gone. I don't know when he will come back. It's not proper to call you a princess all the time." Sylvie comforted her, "It's so strange that a country doesn't have a king. If you still insist, it will make outsiders feel strange. "

Itio had to admit that Selvi was right.

She put on the ring, her fingers were too slender, and the ring that belonged to men fit her on her thumb just right.She changed the usual simple forehead ornaments, put on the crown that belonged to the king, and sat on the wooden throne with open antlers.

If calculated according to human age, she is only 20 years old, and she has become the youngest queen.

The elves in the forest did not look down on her for her youth, although most of them had attended her birthday ceremony when she was first born.On the contrary, they respected her all the more for it.

Itio opened up the gap between the dense forest and the outside world for thousands of years. She has trade relations with various races, which ushered in the second spring for the human Changhu Town at the foot of the dense forest.In addition, she began to study Star Stream, and assigned the jungle elves to row across the galaxy in a boat to travel to another universe.

The elves of the jungle love their young queen very much. Every time they go to Middle-earth for trade, someone asks about the change of the throne in the jungle and why they suddenly communicate with the outside world. Queen, praise her for her tenderness, youth, thoughtfulness, and beauty... Anyway, I want to praise her to the sky.

"You have only been in power for a few years, and the whole of Middle-earth is full of comments about you." Once, Lord Elrond came to visit her, and he sighed, "Obviously we are all praised for being magnanimous and friendly, but beautiful The queen just makes people like it more than an old guy like me."

Itiou turned her head to the side, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her eyes rolled, those blue eyes were clearer than the sky.Lord Elrond was slightly startled. Before he knew it, the little girl in his memory had grown up. She had reached the most beautiful and dazzling age of the elves, and this would last for thousands of years.

At that moment, he thought of his daughter, Mu Xing, who was once so beautiful, but because of the death of the Emperor, Mu Xing died of a broken heart.

"Don't fall in love with humans," said Lord Elrond, "...I hope you never fall."

"What does it matter if you love human beings or not?" Itiou said softly, "Evening Star and Human Emperor have been together for less than 200 years, and my parents have been together for thousands of years. What's the difference. Anyway, those who should leave will always leave, it's just a matter of time."

"...Don't tell me what kind of human being you really like?" Lord Elrond misunderstood Itio's meaning, and his face immediately turned pale. He didn't start until Itio chuckled. He regained his breath and said helplessly, "Don't scare me. Before he left, Thranduil specifically told me to take care of you. If you fall in love with humans... the ten thousand years of friendship between us has come to an end."

"I won't." Itiou smiled helplessly, "How can I have time to like humans now?"

"Yes, you have to think about it, you are the queen now, you can't leave your people alone." Lord Elrond breathed a sigh of relief.

Iteo looked sideways at him.

"When my father lost my mother, is that how you comforted him?"

Lord Elrond lowered his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth moved.

"That's what I told myself when I lost my daughter," he whispered.

Itio fell silent.For an elf royal family, sometimes, they have no other choice.

Itiou seems to have gotten used to the time in the dense forest. Tauriel and Sylvie are like her right-hand men. The siblings help her with many things.She became used to being called His Majesty, and she even took on the responsibility of the rite of passage for the elves who were only a few hundred years younger than herself.

One day, Sylvie found her.

"The messenger of Gondor is just outside the gate, and has brought a letter," said Sylvie. "Would you like to see me?"

Itiou was startled, she nodded.Sitting on the throne, she watched the messenger respectfully hand over a letter.

"Our first in line Crown Prince is about to celebrate his 60th birthday." The messenger said, "Would you like to come here?"

"...You mean?" Itiou slowly remembered the dusty past, and she said softly, "Konal?"

"Exactly."

Itiou thought of the crying little boy hiding in the tower, and the corners of her mouth moved.

"How has he been all these years?" she asked.

"Back to Your Majesty the Queen, Her Highness Conor already knew that you would ask this question." The envoy lowered his head and said respectfully, "The Queen once hoped to make her son the crown prince, but His Royal Highness Conor is too good to be accepted by the people. Xiang, so His Majesty the King did not accept the Queen's opinion, and put more emphasis on him."

"Is he married?"

"not yet."

Itiou smiled slowly, and she was relieved that she had not misjudged the person back then.

"Say hello to your highness for me, as for the celebration... I won't go." Itiou said, "I will congratulate him when he ascends the throne."

After the messenger left, Itiou leaned on the throne and lost his mind.Sylvie came to the bottom of the steps, and he looked up at Itio.

"How fast does time go?" said Iteo. "Aragorn's grandson is already sixty years old."

"When Legolas met Aragorn for the first time, he was in his 60s." Sylvie said, "Humans, that's it. Just watching from the side, I feel that they have been replaced from generation to generation."

Itio sighed softly.

"Legolas has been traveling westward for 53 years, and even his father has been away for ten years." She said slowly, "But look at this dense forest and this hall, it seems that they have never changed."

Sylvie hooked the corner of her mouth.

"It will be like this in the future," he said. "You wait for the grandson of Aragorn to take the throne, and the jungle will never change, and neither will we."

As Selvi said, the next time flew away in a hurry, and the flowers bloomed, and 32 years passed in a blink of an eye.

Suddenly, more than 200 years have passed since the last crisis of the Lord of the Rings. After the advent of the human age, many elves chose to leave.Galadriel, the Queen of the Elf, has already traveled westward to reunite with her family. The forgetful human beings do not remember the legendary and powerful Elf Queen in the past. They only know that there is a beautiful and beautiful Elf Queen in the northern forest of Middle-earth. According to legend, she is as gentle as sunshine, and as quiet and moving as water.She is in charge of the elves of the northern forest, and no one knows what this beautiful queen looks like, which makes them even more curious.

Ordinary human beings are not like Dundan people who can live for 300 years. In the past 50 years, things have changed, but the spread of the Elf Queen is getting wider and wider.

The king of Gondor was seriously ill, and the young Crown Prince was deeply loved by the people. It is said that during a hunting, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he had seen the Elf Queen more than 80 years ago, when she was still a princess.Most of the common people regarded this as a rumor, until one day, the king died, and the new king, His Majesty Konar, ascended the throne at the age of 92, in his prime of life.

After a week of mourning, Conor officially enthroned, and at the same time he invited a special guest - the fabled Elven Queen.

That day, a group of elves in black robes riding white horses passed through the town. Even though the elf in the middle was wearing a robe and a wide hood, the civilians hiding on the sidelines still saw the delicate face in the shadows. ——She is far younger and more beautiful than anyone imagined.

Conor was wearing the king's robe. He stood on the high platform and watched the elves climb the stairs from a distance. He watched the elf walking in the front. She stretched out her slender white wrist from the black robe and took off the pocket. hat, revealing the long golden hair and beautiful face.

Conor was in a trance for a while, for more than 80 years, she hadn't changed at all—except of course, except for the forehead ornament on her forehead representing the queen, which was a gift from the dwarves 20 years ago.He recognized the two red-haired elves behind her, they were also Tauriel and Sylvie he had seen 80 years ago, they hadn't changed at all, time seemed to disappear without a trace on these elves .

After the king's enthronement ceremony, Conor finally truly grasped all the rights of the country, and he was able to justly commemorate his mother and set up a statue of her in the palace.

At the same time, he donated a large amount of wealth and materials to the jungle elves, and even drew up a trade contract. The validity period of the contract was set at 300 years. He prepared everything and handed it to Itiou. All she had to do was sign it.

Itio stretched out his hand and gently pushed the scroll back.

"No need." She said calmly, "I know you thank me, but I have never helped you in these years. Everything today is the result of your hard work."

"You don't understand, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here," Conor said. "Signed it, and that's what I owe you."

Itiou smiled slowly, Conor lost his mind for a moment, and then he heard her say, "Have you ever thought that this contract will continue to the next king. You are grateful to me, but he will only I feel bad because of this unequal treaty, but for the sake of peace in 300 years, forget it.”

Conor watched her, and he slowly lowered his hand.

"In your heart, I'm just a generation among the kings of Gondor, that's all?" Conor murmured, "I proposed this agreement, but you don't believe that I can take care of the future?"

Conor's expression was too complicated, Itiou stared at him, her eyes were a little dazed, Conor could see that she didn't know why he said these words suddenly, Conor lowered his head, he gently Laughed.

"I'm sorry," he said, "I didn't think through this agreement."

"It's okay, I really can't bear such a gift." Itiou said.She remembered what happened back then, "Your father directly made your stepmother the queen, why didn't I see your queen?"

Conor was slightly startled, he stared at Itiou for a long time before turning away.

"...I was too busy consolidating my position to have time," he said. "Now that I'm king, I can slowly find my other half."

Itio nodded.

"I hope you can get married and have children early, so that your mother can be completely relieved."

"Yes, when the time comes, you can help me see which son will become a wise king in the future." Conor said.He paused and added, "Of course, my daughter is fine too."

Itio said nothing.Conor watched her, his eyebrows raised slightly.

"...will you come to Gondor again?"

"It's a long way here, and I have to manage my own country. It's too troublesome. And..." Itiou raised her head. She looked at the glorious white city and hooked the corners of her lips. "As soon as I come here, I I will think of Aragorn and my brother, and feel hurt, so forget it."

"But--"

Conor wanted to say something more, but they all saw Sylvie waving at Itio in the distance, and it was time for her to leave.Itiou bowed slightly, she walked towards Selvi, and Conor frowned tightly and followed behind her.

"Won't you come when I get married?" he asked, "Then you won't come on my child's birthday?"

"Konal." Itiou called out helplessly.

Conor was in a trance again. Everyone called him in awe these years, but Itiou still called his name in that helpless, inclusive, and soft voice, as if he was still the little boy from decades ago. boy.

"Okay," Conor said, "I can visit you with a fortune, how about?"

"You are the king, and so am I. How can there be a king who walks back and forth? Besides, our two countries are too far apart, so it is really inconvenient." Itiou said, "We can contact each other by letter."

Conor stopped in his tracks.

"Don't tell me that this is the last time we meet." He said, "Then if——after 100 years, when I'm about to die of old age, will you come to see me off for the last time, just like you did back then? When sending off Grandpa Aragorn?"

Itiou sighed softly, she had some headaches.

"You are already 90 years old, can you stop talking to me like a little boy?"

"Are you coming?" Conor asked persistently.

Itio hesitated to speak, and Sylvie glared at Conor from behind her.He said softly to Itiou, "Your Majesty, we should go."

"The king is talking, how can you intervene?" Conor said coldly.

In that instant, he seemed to be someone Iteo didn't know.Conor met Itiou's eyes, and his expression became helpless.

"You can't judge whether I have turned bad by whether I lose my temper." He said, "Human beings are very complicated. How can there be so much black and white in this world?"

Iteo sighed again.

"I will not come to Gondor again," said Iteo.

"Then I can go to the jungle," Conor said.He saw Itiou was about to speak, and immediately said, "One time, just one time, okay? You can't be so cruel, obviously you and I are alive, but you want to tell me this is the last time I see you?"

Itiou was slightly stunned, and at that moment, she seemed to recall the pain of watching Legolas leave.

"...just once." She said helplessly.

On the way back, Sylvie was always in a very angry state, and it was the same until he returned to the dense forest. As soon as Itiou entered the bedroom, he heard Selvi shouting outside, asking other elves to smash the human emperor's "broken copper" Rotten iron' thrown into the treasury.

"What do you care about with a 90-year-old human being?" Itiou said helplessly, "You saw him when he was seven years old."

"I hugged you when you were just born, don't you have to listen to what you say now?" Sylvie said.

Itiou was speechless, she just said, "Tao Rui——"

"Don't call her. You can't call my sister every time you don't like me, let her drag me away." Sylvie was a little helpless.He said, "That king is not a good man, do you know that the last king was already very weak ten years ago, he actually had most of the power ten years ago, you know what the first thing he did Did he drive his stepmother and brother out of Gondor by the word of his father."

Itiou hung up her cloak, she looked sideways at him, and said strangely, "So?"

"So—don't you think he's scary?"

Itiou sighed, "Human dynasties will change almost every 100 years. Since you don't like it, it only takes 100 years. If it doesn't work, just bear with it. Anyway, you live a long time."

Sylvie was completely speechless.

"I forgot, you are a king of asceticism," he muttered, "I thought..."

"what?"

Sylvie hesitated to speak, but finally shook his head.

never mind.He thought to himself, if she doesn't understand, then she doesn't understand, that's fine.

No matter how the outside world changes, the dense forest seems to remain the same day after day, year after year.

Conor writes to Itio every few years: he is married; his eldest daughter is born; his second son is born.Itiou marveled at the speed of human reproduction. He had six children in less than ten years, while the elves would only want to have one in hundreds or even thousands of years.

Tauriel heard more things from the humans who came for trade that Conor didn't write in the letter, such as he married two wives, and his youngest daughter died young.Another time, he invaded another small human country.He seems to have become a qualified monarch, allowing Gondor to reach the pinnacle of mankind again, but he has gone further and further away from the wish of "uprightness and kindness" back then.

Itio didn't want to comment on this, as she said, she did nothing but encouragement 90 years ago, all of this was Conor's own choice, and he still remembered Aragorn's words: Humans They will make mistakes and advance aggressively, and they have to try the human way by themselves.As long as he doesn't come to invade the elves, Itiou won't meddle in his own business.In fact, she never even answered his letters.

Itiou was not in the mood to answer his letter either.

When Thranduil left, Itiou once asked him when he would come back.His answer at that time was ambiguous, he said, 50 years later, 100 years later...

And from today, it will be the year that Thranduil has passed away. 50 years today, a frustrated and exhausted Thranduil left the jungle. Fifty years later, the dense forest has changed drastically in the hands of Itiou. The trading partners of the dense forest elves are all over the world. The Changhu Town at the foot of the mountain has never been densely populated like it is now.

Iteo is still wondering if Thranduil will come back after 50 years, and she thinks he is not a character who will remember the day he left, so the first day after 50 years passes, and Itio is very calm.One month...two months...an entire year passed, and Thranduil still hadn't returned.

Sylvie climbed the steps and came to Itio's bedroom. What she saw was Itio standing at the window in a daze, looking at the endless forest.

"Selvi." Itiou said slowly, "Do you think...he has crossed west?"

"Impossible." Selvi said, "You are still here, His Majesty Thranduil will definitely not go west."

"Then why doesn't he come back?" said Itiou. "Does he not like me making the jungle what it is now, so he doesn't want to come back?"

"How is it possible." Sylvie walked slowly behind Itio, and he said, "He must have not stayed outside enough...Maybe he will come back in 100 years."

Itio said nothing.

Another 50 years have passed, and she has been on the throne for 100 years.Those 100 years were short in the elves' years, and she was just coming of age when she came to the throne, and she is no different now.But some things have changed unknowingly. Her temperament is becoming more and more calm and introverted. She always has a gentle smile on people. Compared with the lonely and arrogant Thranduil, the elves naturally prefer to get close Others' Itiou.

The second half of 50 years is very long, until Conor died.In the No.30 year of his succession, Conor once told Itio in a letter that his favorite young son had grown up. Itio didn't reply, but someone sent a gift.

Later, Conor didn't write to her much, except that Aragorn lived to be in his early two hundred years, and his son, Conor's father, died at 160, and Conor died at 140. , It is said that his hair began to slowly turn gray when he was over 100 years old.

In the end, he couldn't avoid his father's mistakes at the beginning.He had two wives, he was king and he had the right to do so.But he couldn't mediate the relationship between his many children, especially when one of his wives died, her children became more vigilant and resentful, worried that Conor would favor another woman's children.

Conor never came to meet Itiou, and he spent the last decades of his life dealing with his young sons, who were eyeing his throne, and Conor never had time to leave Gondor.What happened later was not very clear to Itiou. In short, the youngest son that Conor liked the most seemed to have died earlier than him. The prince who finally ascended the throne, Conor did not even mention it to Itiou. passed his name.

These human lives are so insignificant in the torrent of time. Itiou watched him young, watched him grow up, watched him succeed to the throne, watched him grow old, and watched him pass away.

She is still waiting for Thranduil in the jungle. 100 years have passed, and the new year is coming, but he still hasn't come back.

The elves were celebrating the new year, and their young queen was not there, for they knew only that she was as distasteful of noise as her father.Sylvie left the banquet, he entered the woodland hall, he climbed the steps slowly, and pushed open the door of Iteo's bedroom.

He saw Itiou lying on the sofa, her arm resting on the arm of the sofa, the king's jeweled ring reflecting light.She leaned against the side of her face, and her silver-gray dress hung down to the ground.She stared out of the window blankly, her delicate and beautiful face was expressionless, but it made people's heart ache for no reason.

Sylvie breathed lightly, and he knelt beside her on one knee.

"Your Majesty." He called softly, "...Itiou, are you alright?"

Iteo's blue eyes blinked slowly, and she stared into the distance into nothingness.

"He's not coming back," she said softly, "is he?"

"No, Itiou, he'll be back, there must be something holding him back—"

"I'm not afraid that they won't come back." Itiou slowly propped herself up, she whispered, "If they don't come back, just tell me, why lie to me?"

"Itio..." Sylvie just repeated her name repeatedly.

Itio lowered his eyelashes.

"I never knew what I wanted. I only knew that seeing them happy made me happy. Seeing what they wanted made me feel satisfied. So whatever they asked for, I was happy. Until now I just realized that what I want is them, and I want my family by my side." She said softly, "Now I realize this, isn't it too late?"

"No, Itiou, it's not too late at all, they all understand..."

"They don't understand, and I don't understand." Itiou murmured, "If I had thought about this matter earlier, maybe I should have expressed my thoughts to them directly... Both my father and my brother thought I liked being treated In the dense forest, that's why they left at ease. But now I understand that I stayed here for them... Maybe I shouldn't have let them go."

"Itio..." Sylvie just called her sadly.

Itiou slowly raised her head and leaned against the back of the sofa, her chin to collarbone formed a beautiful arc.

"Sylvie, I'm so cold," she murmured.

Sylvie stood up immediately.

"I'll get you a shawl," he said.

Itiou looked at him, and she smiled.She is so lonely now, but her chuckle is still so beautiful that it makes people feel dazed.

"The body is warm, but what should I do if the heart is cold?" She asked.

Itiou lowered her eyelashes, and she moved the corners of her mouth to laugh again.

"I finally understand what Legolas meant." She said, "I would rather be a human being with a short lifespan of a hundred years, full of twists and turns. I don't want to live a boring life with long nights."

Sylvie stared at her blankly, and at that moment, a great sense of powerlessness enveloped him.

He knelt down on one knee slowly by her side again, he stared at the young queen in front of him, he saw her light blue eyes were as vast as the sky, but there was no him there, Searle Wei felt bitter.

"I know I can't make you feel better, I just want to say, as long as you need, I will always be by your side." He said.

Itiou's eyes finally fell on him, her lips hooked, showing a shallow comforting smile.

"Thank you, Sylvie. I'll let you know if I need it," she said. "Go, find Tauriel, and spend New Year's Eve with her."

At that moment, Sylvie felt a little stunned. It seemed that 50 years ago, she had quietly rejected Conor in the same euphemistic way.They all thought she didn't understand at that time, but maybe, she already understood everything.

From that day on, Itiou calmed down, and she seemed to have abandoned the past.She began to govern the country wholeheartedly, and she no longer waited for Thranduil.

The human world will change rapidly in the next few hundred years. Perhaps Conor once told his children that their founding emperor and their great-grandfather, Aragorn, was once related to elves. It seems that Aragorn and Cole The descendants of Gnar thought Itiou had promised their ancestors to look after them.

Conor's sons and grandsons are still considered to have a backbone. No matter how their family fights, all the kings who take office will work hard to govern the country. But I don't know from which generation they have become more and more mediocre and idle. Moreover, they are becoming more and more like ordinary people who can only live to be a hundred years old. The bloodline of the Dundan people seems to be gradually thinning out, which makes them panic and aggressive.

For the sake of Aragorn and Conor, Itiou tried his best to help them, but unfortunately, the human royal family didn't know how to work hard and only squandered it.

When this Middle-earth gradually became chaotic, Thranduil returned.

Almost 500 years have passed since he left the jungle.

Thranduil didn't stay in the human world all the time. He thought he would walk into this world like Legolas, but in fact, he lived for too long and saw the world too clearly. Put yourself in the circle of friends who have only a few hundred years of life, because he knows what the future has to bear.
