Thranduil naturally refused Legolas' "unreasonable" request.

In fact, if possible, Thranduil would not want to be so decisive and merciless. Legolas finally became sensible. If he was provoked and felt that he was ruthless, shameless and unreasonable, he would go directly to Gondor in a fit of anger. Well, that's not so good.

But when it comes to such a lifelong event as marriage—especially for elves who usually only get married once in a lifetime—Thrandiil is absolutely impossible to accommodate.In fact, after what happened with Tauriel and Kili, didn't he try to take a relatively gentle approach like Elrond, thinking in his heart that letting nature take its course would be better than hard suppression, so he ruthlessly Make up your mind to let Legolas and Anila go.

However, the final result proved that Elrond was really cheated. Not only did his daughter get involved, but he also asked him to pay for his son.

Fortunately, Legolas did not run away from home in a fit of temper. It was also expected that Thranduil would not approve of this, so he calmly said, "I know you will definitely not be able to accept it now, but this is something I am serious about. After considering the decision, one day, I will let you nod and agree."

Thranduil originally wanted to ridicule Legolas' so-called "serious consideration", saying that it was just another moment of his whim, just like he and Tauriel back then, but he looked at Legolas like that. With a firm and steady expression, he opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

His son has really changed a lot.

But it doesn't matter, the lifespan of human beings is too short, Anila will pass away in less than one or two hundred years, and Legolas will understand how stupid his decision at this time is, and he can wait.

After Legolas came back this time, besides the change in personality, Thranduil also noticed some other changes.

For example, Legolas seems to have become much quieter. He used to spend almost all day in the woods, but now, apart from daily patrols and training, he often hides in his room After closing the door, he didn't come out for a long time.

Thranduil couldn't figure out what Legolas would do in the room after thinking about it. His son was lively and active since he was a child. It is not uncommon for him to shoot arrows and ride horses down trees and rivers, but he can sit quietly and do something. But not often, Thranduil was curious, so one day after Legolas returned to the room after reporting the patrol situation, Thranduil followed.

Could it be that they exchanged letters with that girl Anila?Thranduil murmured to himself, so writing letters every day is too long, isn't it?And I didn't see Legolas sending someone to Gondor.

But when he walked into Legolas' room, he almost petrified on the spot.

"Ada?" Legolas turned around, with several colorful marks on his fair face.

"...Are you drawing?" Thranduil was very surprised.

"Yes." Legolas replied, "You need me?"

"It's nothing, just come and have a look." Thranduil said, walked to Legolas, stared at the suspected primate thing with brown hair and two big green spots on his face on the canvas for a long time, She commented pertinently, "Well, this monkey is pretty good."

"...This is Anila." Legolas sighed, took the painting off the easel in frustration, crumpled it up and threw it in a pile of similar waste paintings beside him.

"Oh." Thranduil replied calmly, of course he guessed that it was Anila—although the painting looked like a monkey—but he didn't admit it.

Suddenly, a painting on a shelf in the corner caught Thranduil's attention, and he couldn't help but walk over and look it over carefully.

The colors and strokes of this painting are very sophisticated, obviously not from Legolas' handwriting.This painting is not enough to be called a complete work. There are no other reasons. Most of the background and characters in the painting are drawn quite casually. A few strokes are used to highlight the eyebrows and eyes, but there are still a few characters with similar characteristics. Obviously, Thranduil can recognize it at a glance. For example, the one with the bright forehead should be Elrond, the one with the golden hair is probably Glorfindel, and the one with the beard is probably Aragorn...

Against such a carefree background, the main character in the left half of the painting is particularly well-crafted.Even the intricate patterns on the clothes are drawn.

Thranduil stared blankly at the person in the painting, which was his son.

This painting should be a grand celebration in the White City of Gondor. Legolas did not wear his usual gray-green hunting suit, but changed into a moon-white robe, with silver on his head. The forehead ornament, the long golden hair shining in the sun is gently raised by the wind, the red lips are slightly hooked, the eyes are rippling, the blue is like the sky, the whole person is gentle like a crescent moon reflected in the water, floating in the sky Among the soft pink petals, she stretched out her slender and white hands to the person in front of her.

But on the right side of the picture, the person who should have been watched by Legolas with such soft eyes does not exist.

On the right side of the painting, there is only a patch of colorful stains.

Things that were originally painted there were randomly painted over.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Legolas also came over, his tone very proud, as if this was his work, "This is drawn by Anila."

"It can be guessed." Thranduil replied sarcastically.

There is no doubt that the person erased in the painting must be Anila.The people of Minas Tiris in Gondor are closely related to Legolas, and apart from Aragorn and Elrond who have appeared in other places in the painting, who else could it be if it wasn’t Anila? ?

She had a pretty good idea, Thranduil sneered slightly in his heart.

"Who did this?" He pointed to the messy place and asked.

"Not sure, it was already like this when I found this painting." Legolas shook his head, "But Anila probably painted it herself."

Fortunately, he was able to recognize the reality, and Thranduil was reluctantly satisfied: "Because you saw Anila's paintings, did you suddenly become interested in painting?"

"Well, maybe." Legolas frowned slightly, "I..."

Speaking of which, Legolas was able to discover this painting thanks to Karnold.

On the night Legolas met Canold, after Canold confessed that he also liked Anila, there was a silent and strange confrontation between the two for a long time.

"You don't have to face such an enemy at all, Your Highness Legolas." Kanod said with sarcasm, "Except for you, Velodis will never fall in love with anyone else, no matter whether you respond to her or not." How about it, are you satisfied with hearing such words from my mouth?"

Legolas remained silent.

"So there is really no fairness in feelings, right?" Kanold chuckled as if feeling amused, "I knew Velodis much earlier than you, and I fell in love with her much earlier than you, but What's the use of that? As early as 30 years ago, maybe even earlier, before Velodis even met you, I lost to you."

"Huh?" Legolas was very surprised, "But more than 30 years ago, Anila probably didn't know me at all." He thought he was not famous enough for Rivendell to be known to everyone. the point.

"Didn't Velodis or Estelle tell you about it?" Kanold raised his pretty eyebrows slightly, "About the paintings drawn by Velodis."

"Aragorn mentioned that Anila can draw, and that she has her own studio in Rivendell." Legolas said honestly, "but he didn't specifically mention any paintings."

Kanold narrowed his eyes, stared at Legolas for a long time, and asked, "So, do you want to see it?"

"Of course." Legolas nodded immediately, but hesitated a bit, "But should we go now? Anila should have rested already?"

"It doesn't matter. It's not locked there. Anyone can go there whenever they want." Kanod didn't stop for a moment, stepped on the protruding stones on the stream and jumped to the opposite side of the stream, "Follow up .”

After all, Legolas was still curious about what Anila's paintings would look like, and finally followed Kanold to Anila's studio.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" Legolas flipped through Anila's painting, his eyes lit up, and he was full of praise.He actually doesn't know much about drawing, but since it's Anila's work, it must be awesome!

Anila's paintings are actually very complex, including landscapes, landscapes, flowers, birds, fish and insects, but most of them are figure paintings. Looking back to the outside of the painting, she saw the young Aragorn with shining eyes, and the gentle and kind Gilleen, Lord Elrond, who was reading in his room with a calm and calm face, Lord Glorfindel, who had blond hair and a brilliant smile under the bright sunshine, and Lin Lin, who was holding fresh flowers that were still soaked in the morning dew, and was about to put them into a vase. Mr. Dill, Kanold, who plays the piano with extremely soft eyes, Arwen, who is tall and beautiful like a poplar tree, and Nero, who has sharp eyes like a wolf in a dark green forest...

"These are just training at best." Kanod said lightly, "Come and take a look here."

Legolas walked over with great interest, but was completely stunned when he saw the paintings clearly: "This is..."

"It's you." Kanod affirmed.

Legolas was speechless for a long time. He looked at the completion dates on the paintings, and it was clear that Anila was only a teenager. Not to mention the scenes in this painting, like Rivendell , Kalande Snow Mountain, and Rohan, he had never been there before.

And those paintings that he thought were well drawn just now, compared with these, are completely insignificant.Anila draws everyone very similarly, but only when she draws Legolas, the characters in her brushes are full of air and agility, as if they can jump out of the paper in a second.

How familiar is this person, and how much effort has been devoted to drawing such a picture?

"Is it strange? We were also very puzzled at the time. Velodis explained that she met you in a dream a long time ago." Kanold took a deep look at Legolas, "Really I don't know, but she has had a crush on you since long before she knew you."

Legolas recalled the way Anila looked at him when he first saw her. At the first glance, she was full of joy and smiles. At that time, he thought Anila was too sentimental and rash. What about this one?

"But why are you telling me this?" Legolas suddenly remembered, and looked at Kanold strangely, "You like Anila too, right? What good will it do you to tell me?"

"After seeing these paintings, do you like Velodis more?" Kanold asked Legolas quietly.

"Of course." Legolas was startled for a moment, and then smiled slightly, "Even if you don't show me these paintings, my love for her won't decrease by half, but I still thank you for bringing me here. "

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't bring you here to make you happy." Kanod said coldly, "In fact, you are the person I hate the most in this world, so I will definitely do everything possible to make you happy." The deeper the love for Velodis, the happier Velodis is, the happier I am; the more pain you suffer after Velodis dies, the happier I will be. It’s all about benefits and no harm, right?”

"You are really..." Legolas was stunned, smiled wryly for a while, didn't know what to say, lowered his head to cover up his embarrassment and continued to flip through Anila's paintings, "Huh, this one is...?"

Kanod squinted at the painting, and was also attracted to it: "Huh? Did you have this before?"

This is the painting half painted by Anila.

"This painting should be Anila's new work when she returns to Rivendell." Legolas said to Thranduil, "But no one knows why she erased the person on the right, and I didn't find a chance ask her."

"Perhaps she realized that the painting was too self-indulgent, so she drew it because of embarrassment." Thranduil said sarcastically.

"Where are you being so sentimental?" Legolas gave his father a dissatisfied look, "I think it's great, if this scene can become a reality—"

"Impossible!" Thranduil interrupted him, "Even if you really want to marry Anila in the future, the wedding can only be held in Mirkwood!"

Legolas was overjoyed: "So you agree..."

"disagree!"

"Hey..." looking disappointed.

Thranduil felt extremely remorseful for his momentary slip of the tongue, but Legolas was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

It's good to have a glimmer of hope, which proves that he is still very likely to convince his father.

"However, I am still a little concerned about why Anila painted herself out." Legolas lowered his eyes, and the smile on the corner of his lips was a little lonely, "Perhaps what you said is right, Anila probably has a lot of interest in the painting. It’s not full of confidence that such a scene can become a reality. Although I said I love her, I have always been not so firm, and it is natural for Anila to feel insecure.”

"..." Thranduil was very conflicted. If he comforted his son, wouldn't that be acknowledging his relationship with Anila in disguise?But if you leave it alone, it will be uncomfortable to see Legolas like this.

"That's why I came up with the idea of ​​learning to draw. I thought, it would be great if I could finish this painting. But I didn't know until I got started. Drawing is really a test of patience. I was in the house. I can only draw that kind of thing even if I stay for a few hours. I can't imagine how much time and energy it takes to draw like Anila." Legolas looked at Thranduil, "Ada, if I If you can restore Anila's painting, you will agree with me to marry her, okay?"
