I dragged Aurae's hand and led her to my bedroom while I locked the door.

"I want to tell you something, Aurae. It may not be impressive and not that necessary, but it doesn't feel right if I did not tell this to you."

"What do you want to tell me, Thayel? You seem so nervous and your face was starting to pale, I've never seen you like this before."

I began to explain all things that happened last night to Aurae, all expression caused to appear one by one from Aurae's face.

"I do not think a cold King would ever do that, especially to their servant!"

"I was thought the same, Aurae. Did Thranduil ever had any servant before me?"

"I don't know. I'm new servants in this palace, I didn't know all things that going on in this palace."

"Oh! Maybe you should ask him or talk to him." she continued.

I frowned, "The King?"

"He's a cold person, he only told me to do all task and I had never talked to him before."

"Then, all you have to do is take a chance! Go talk to that King or make some conversation with him! And I'm guessing you haven't eaten breakfast yet, would you come to the kitchen?"

She stood and walked to the door.

"Later, Aurae. I'll change my clothes first."

I closed the door after she leaves. Then, to whom should I have to ask about this?

The night has appeared, Thranduil, Legolas, and their armies haven't come back yet. I walked around the throne room with anxiety all around in my body and my mind, it just gave me electric feels.

"What if something happened to them? And why I get really care about Thranduil?"

That question was ruined my mind, I felt something wrong whenever I far far away from him. All of my thoughts was disappeared slowly as I heard a sound, it was from the gate.

I saw Thranduil, Legolas, and their armies. I looked at Thranduil, I knew he was so tired when I look at his face. And I quickly approached him.

He gave me his usual stern look with his blue eyes that somehow makes something inside of me gone lunatic every time he stared at me. I followed him while he walked to his chamber.

"Is there anything happen, my King?"

"Yes, you do not wake up immediately and you do not prepare all my armor and my sword when I had to hurry and fulfill my duties."

"It was my mistake. Forgive me, my King"

"Next time, you must ever near me. Always."

we came to his chamber, Thranduil immediately took off his armor and gave it to me. 

"This moment, since I'm not in the palace all day, I expect you have rested well, and you properly not fall asleep again on my sofa."

"I will not do that, my King, Where should I put this?"

"In that wardrobe"

"Then, what I have to do, my King? do I ought to sit here while I watch you read your book?"  

"At least do something."

"I do not know what I have to do, at least tell me what I need to do!"

"Bam!" He closed his bathroom door, while I was sat on the sofa gasped and tried to control my breath, my heart was pounded so fast whenever I argued with him, I tried to calm myself down while I waited for him to come out from his chamber.

It took so long for him to come back to the chamber, he immediately sat on his bed.

"Why it takes so long for you to change your clothes?"

"None of them is your business."

"My King, can I ask you something?"

"Call me Thranduil."

He read a book as I decided to encourage myself, attempted to do Aurae's advice.

"Do you gave me your blanket last night, Thranduil?"

"No, you stole it away from me, while you were sleepwalking."

I surprised, "I was sleepwalking?"

"Sleepwalkers never apprehended that they're doing it."

"Doing what?"

"Of course, sleepwalking."

All of my thoughts were dispersed slowly, I thought Thranduil gave me his blanket, and I thought he has a big heart and thoughtful like what I expected, but I was mistaken.

"Where did you go to, if I may ask?"

"The spiders and the orcs, they were sneaked into my land and my forest."

"Orcs? What are Orcs?"

"They were basically monsters, like a troll"  

"Really? Like what? I've never seen an Orcs before"

"I assumed that they were much like you."

He chuckles with his slick face, so do I, "I'm serious, Thranduil!"

"You'll probably see it one day."

At least I found something to make a conversation with him, we were talking about random things, sometimes I joke and he laughed a little until I asked something to him, "Don't you feel lonely at all, Thranduil?"

"No, and why do you ask such things like that?"

"I just imagined, maybe someone like you, rule this kingdom by yourself."

"Well, I have thousands of armies, I have a lot of servants, and I have my son as well, and why would I have to feel pathetic?"

"In case, you were feeling lonely"

I stood and look around his bedroom, but there was one thing that was attracted me.

"That's why I have my own servant, you."

"Is this you and Legolas?"

I pointed at the painting on the wall while I glanced at him, he nodded.

In that picture, Thranduil stood as he wore an armor and a silver crown while next to him there was a woman carried a little Legolas. A beautiful woman with her long hair and her silver eyes, they all seemed very happy, even Thranduil seemed to be happy too.

"And who is she? Is this your wife, Legolas mother?"

He nodded again. But this time, he looked so dark and empty.

"Where's your wife? I've never seen her in this palace, I desire to meet her."

He sighed, but still tried to keep his usual stern look on his face.

"Why? You look so sad, am I say anything wrong?"

"Can you leave?" He said, his face seemed so anxious and his hand began to shake when he held off his book from his hand.

"But, Thranduil, I only asked about..." "I said leave!" He said with his stern tones.

I immediately close my mouth, my heart started to shatter and suddenly my breath was stopped for a while.

"Good night, Thranduil." I bowed, and slowly leave his chamber.

"Did I say anything wrong? I just asked him one simple question and suddenly, he roared like a monster" I said to myself while I walk to my bedroom, I closed my eyes and slept immediately, because I knew if I keep reminding what just happened tonight. I probably would have a bad day tomorrow, and if I don't sleep immediately. I could fall asleep in Thranduil's sofa again tomorrow night...
