You stood at the waters edge, gazing down at your reflection. Sighing, you plop a rock in, sending ripples through the calm and distorting your mirror image, and stand up. Your beat her hitches in your throat and you let out a small yelp as you quickly bow your head at the sight of Legolas, the Elven King's son.

"M-my Lord! I did not see you there. M-my apologies." You stammer out.

Legolas waves his hand, "No need for apologies. You did nothing wrong."

Slowly and hesitantly, you lift your head to be met with his soft smiling face. Your heart skipped a beat. His face and features were just beautiful. Everything about him was beautiful. You give a nod and lift the bucket of water. "Well, if you will excuse me, my lord, I must be getting back."

Seeing your struggle with carrying the bucket, he reaches down and grabs the handle, his hand touching yours. "Allow me to help," he gave you another soft smile.

"R-really, I'm fine, you don't have to."

He laughed, "Do you believe that since I am of royal blood, that I do not do my fair share of work?"

Your face reddens, "That is not what I meant, my Lord. I meant you no disrespect."

"No disrespect taken."

The two of you continued on your walk, and departed soon after you returned home.

For some time it seemed that Legolas came to the same river just to see you. Some days you would find him waiting and others he would appear behind you, silent as a lamb.

Then one day he was not there. As you turned around, bucket in hand, you were met with Lord Thrandruil himself.

"So, you are the peasant who has my son so giddy?" He spoke with such valor and grace. His eyes scanned your features, taking in every detail.

You drop low and bow, "Forgive me, my Lord, if I have disgraged you."

He shook his head and held up his hand, "Not at all. I can see why he is so fond of you."

Your face reddens at his words, "H-he has spoke of me?"

Thrandruil shook his head, "One does not need to speak when love is written all over their face." He begins to walk away then stops, "I expect to see you again soon."

You sat by the river, mulling over Thrandruil's words.

"Sitting alone, are we?"

You jump and turn to see Legolas sitting next to you. "Yes, it's quite peaceful here."

He nods agreeing with you.

Feeling his eyes on you, you turn to face him. "Yes?"

He gives you his beautiful gentle smile, "Nothing. I just think you are the most beautiful woman I have ever met."

Your face turns red again as he brushes your hair behind your ear.

"_______, may I ask you for your hand in marriage?"

Heart racing, you fling your arms around his neck, "Yes! Of course!"

He smiled brightly and wrapped his arms securely around your waist.

Looking you lovingly in the eyes, he leans in and places a sweet kiss on your lips, sealing your fate together.

~Extra for the hell of it~

Thrandruil rested his hand on your shoulder as he passes by you, "I told you I would see you soon."

You blush and nod, tightening your grip on Legolas's arm.

This guy...well, Elf, though! He's the definition of beauty.

Well, hope you enjoyed. Thank you for the reads and votes.
