[Through Middle-earth BG Lord of the Rings Fans] A Different Life Das Leben der Anderen

CAPUT21

……

I walked aimlessly and alone, and kept walking, and kept walking, but I didn't know where I should go.The shape of every stone in the Misty Mountains, the location of the nests of rabbits and squirrels, and even the changing time of the guards in the half-orc stronghold are almost all memorized by me.

It wasn't until Legolas came to me on his horse and stopped me that I suddenly realized that 33 years had passed...

……

"Conan, come back with me." Legolas said condescendingly, looking down at me lying on the grass and looking up at the sky.

"No return."

"Then you get up first."

"Sorry."

"...Father has sent someone to look for you for a long time."

"in spite of."

"Don't you miss us?"

"No...don't want to."

"……I see."

"……"--Um?Let me go so easily? ——I turned my head slightly to look at Legolas in disbelief—but why did I suddenly feel that the surrounding temperature was a bit low, was it my illusion?

……

"Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa to being thrown onto the horse's back by Legolas, I tried my best to shout out my inner surge.

"If you scream again, your mouth will be tied up."

"Wow, uh——" I seemed to have been locked up by Qigong suddenly, and suddenly lost the urge to shout, and quietly closed my mouth, and started my journey of abdominal riding.

……

When I saw Thranduil again, I thought his first words would be to ask someone to throw me to feed the spiders, but he just said lightly: "I'm back, go and rest."

"...Okay."——This guy is too calm, but in this case, the bunch of crying, fussing, oh, no, it's me, those generous statements, aren't they useless? ? ——In order to earn the tears of the ruthless Thranduil, I specially edited and created three hardcover versions of Joan X version, Haruki Murakami X version and Roaring Emperor version of 33 Years of Broken Love...

……

"You really like looking at the moon."

"...the moon is the wound of the night." I said pretending to be literary.

"You, want to tell me?"

"Are you talking about the stars or the moon?"

"..."

"The poetry? 'Romeo, Romeo! Why is thou Romeo? Deny your father, and throw away your name; perhaps you won't, and I won't, if you swear to be my love. Surname Cap - 'Uh...'

"..."

"...Well, although I haven't read Kandé, Nietzsche, if you really want to talk about philosophy of life, we can still talk about Marx's socialist thought."

"..." Legolas looked at me intently.

"..." I looked at the sky.

"..." Legolas looked at me intently.

"..." I looked at the ground.

"..." Legolas looked at me intently.

"..." I—"You won."

"I'm not pushing you, father and I, we're both worried about you."

"I'm fine, I just lost my love..."

"Haldir, why doesn't he seem to recognize you?"

"...Have you seen him?"

"I saw it when I went to Luolin before."

"Is he all right?"

"It's not worse than you anyway."

"He... Forget it, don't tell me."

"He's still single, if that's what you're asking,"

"Pfft——" I couldn't help laughing, "I didn't ask this, I just... no, don't mention me to him again, just pretend that I didn't exist."

"Conan..."

"Legolas, do you know? One will meet two people in one's life, one is amazing for time, and the other is gentle for years."

……

"Don't you think you should eat less? To be honest, you are much heavier than girls your age."

"Don't compare me to an elf woman!" I glared at the guy with the berry and dead tree branches, and ate it-yes!Feel bad, go, Thranduil!I just want to eat your free food so freely! ——"And you dare to say that when we met for the first time, I thought I was so sinking that I broke your legs. You don't even know how much shadow you have left on my young heart."

"Have you ever been young? Didn't your face at that time look like it is now—"

"Don't say it!" - Thranduil, you vengeful cheapskate, how dare you say two taboo topics about my weight and age in front of a woman like me!

"You won't let me tell you, are you still expecting something?"

"What to expect?"

"Looking forward to someone who can see your inner essence through the appearance of your age and figure, and then bow down?"

"Pfft—" I took a sip of good tea, "...Your Majesty, really not."

"That's good. After all, I have the responsibility to be responsible for my people. I can't let you go and harm others."

"..."

At this time, the young elf attendant brought a new dish.

"Ah! Is this sizzling beef?! Unexpectedly, it can be seen in ancient Europe where birds don't lay eggs!" I looked excitedly at the new meat, and immediately got up and moved it closer to me ——Anyway, the guy who pretends to be elegant and only knows how to drink wine with his head down should not have much appetite.

"His Majesty."

I took the time to look up from the dinner plate and glance at the person who came, it turned out to be Rafael.

"The spider has been repelled."

"Ah."

Glancing at Rafael who had retreated after finishing the report, I continued to stare at the food on the plate and stuff it into my mouth.

"The spiders are coming more and more frequently, as if there is some delicious food here that is attracting them."

"..."

"It seems that it started after you came, right?"

"..." The movements of my hands slowly stopped.

"Don't you want to tell me something? After all, outside is our Mirkwood warriors fighting hard."

"...I'm sorry to cause you such a big trouble."

"Did you bring anything?"

"It's not on me, but we are connected to each other..."

Thranduil, you must understand, right?My connection to the Lord of the Rings...

……

One day, while watching Legolas practicing archery, I suddenly felt the strangeness of that magical power, and murmured unconsciously: "It's moving..."

"What?" Legolas turned his head and looked at me suspiciously, and then realized: "The Lord of the Rings?"

With complicated emotions, I don't know whether to sigh or say with relief: "...It seems that it is about to start."

The next day, Thranduil received a letter from King Elrond, and Legolas immediately begged him to go to the forest valley.

……

In the dream, it was the familiar back of the blond elf. He turned around and smiled at me, then walked away slowly...

When I opened my eyes again, I couldn't remember the content of the dream, only the tears that slipped from the corners of my eyes...

……

When the ground shook violently, I was playing Rabeethoven's piano sonata "Pathetique". It wasn't until a while later that I realized that it wasn't an earthquake, and the vibration should have come from Mordor.I stared blankly at the keyboard in front of me for a moment, then gently closed the piano cover, and walked to the observation terrace not far away.

Putting my hands on the stone railing of the terrace, I looked up at Mordor where the dark clouds were gradually dissipating.

After a while, I felt someone walking towards me.

I didn't turn around, but sighed softly: "The sun is shining from the southeast."

"Yeah." Someone stood beside me.

"... Thranduil." I called him softly.

"Huh?" Thranduil looked at me, his usually sharp eyes were showing unconcealable sadness at this moment.

"As for me, I'm actually not afraid of death. My relatives are not in this world, I have always been alone, walking alone in this war-torn land, and I have nothing to do anyway. I used to think that it doesn't matter when I die like this... ..."

I felt my body slowly becoming lighter, and then I saw that the color of my hand holding the stone railing gradually became lighter and became transparent. Thranduil must have noticed it too, and I could feel his arm trembling slightly against me .

"But, I met you."

"Being by your side, looking at you, talking to you, is such a joyful thing..."

"The time with you is so happy, it makes me feel that I am no longer alone."

"It's you guys that make me want to continue living, to live longer..."

"You... are my hope."

I watched my transparent hands turn into dots of light and gradually dissipate into the air.

"I'm sorry..." Thranduil's slightly hoarse voice sounded, "Actually, Haldir has already..."

"It's okay, needless to say..." I reluctantly hooked the corners of my mouth, but tears fell unconsciously, "Actually, I already knew..."

Yes, I already knew that Haldir was gone...

The dream that I can't remember the content of, the moist cheeks after waking up, what the battle of Helm's Deep means, I know better than anyone else.

I turned my head and smiled at Thranduil pretending to be relaxed: "I always thought that when I left, I would be alone. Now that you are here, I have nothing else to ask for..."

"I wish I could stay longer..."

I looked at my dissipated body, I can't see you again, Thranduil, this is the last...

I looked at Thranduil, and raised the last smile I could leave him——

"Hannonle, My King."

Thranduil, I'm sorry, I can only say "thank you" to you, and then, goodbye.

……

There's something I want to tell you though

it can only be heard after the sad times passes.

Close your eyes and feel my heart moving.

My eyes that gaze at you.

Don't wait for a special miracle.

Through the road in front of your eyes

is an unknown future and wall.

But I won't change it, nor will I give up.

Protect me with your unchanging love

Even my wounded heart.

I don't need words when I can see it in your eyes.

Time has stopped.

This shows I love you.

The end of my wandering days.

Goodbye to the unending sadness of this world.

In many of the unknown roads

If follow thim light.

We'll be together until forever

Into our new world.

——SNSD "Into the New World"
