"Whom did you expect?"
Elrond's warm and soft voice eased the tension in Baineth's body. She sighed relieved and settled back into the armchair. Elrond reached her side and stroke her brow softly, trying to sooth her. She had been horribly frightened and he pitied her.
"It's better to be too cautious than to be too careless. Preparations will be made for your safety. Then you need not worry anymore. Thranduil will have plenty of time until your child is born. When you return to this realm all will be ready and...."
He broke his sentence abruptly, when he became painfully aware of what he had just said. He gazed into Baineth's eyes which stared back at him filled with concern. Her voice was low and audible irritated
"When I return from where?"
Baineth furrowed her brows when Elrond did not reply. She sat up and tried to get an answer from Elrond by staring at him with great concern.
"What were you talking about?"
Elrond sighed heavily. The king would be wrathful once he heard of this. But what had been said could not be undone. He sat down in the chair next to hers and sighed heavily
"The night when in arrived in this kingdom, I had spoken to the king. After much discussion I suggested to take you to Imaldris where I would take care of you and your unborn child. Due to your young age Thranduil fears for your safety and that of your child. After reasoning with him, he agreed to allow you go to Imladris with me."
Baineth gaped at him and was left speechless. Why had Thranduil not spoken to her about this? Did he want that Baineth would not have to worry, after all that had happened? Maybe he just did not know how to inform her about the decision which he had made without her? Baineth was unsure of the king's motives. Her glance fell on Elrond and she sighed with disappointment
"I did not know about this. The king did not tell me anything."
Elrond placed his hand over hers and smiled
"The king may be very old, but he has much to learn in relation with others."
Baineth nodded and she closed her eyes for a moment. The mere thought that she would leave the woodland realm distressed her. But it was true, to be pregnant in her age was truly unusual and she understood the king's concerns all too well. She herself had often pondered over these things. Baineth inhaled deeply and opened her eyes. She glanced at Elrond who still sat by her side
"I consider it better if I wait until he will speak to me himself about his intention."
"That will be very wise." Elrond gave her hand a squeeze and stood up, looking down at her with a smile
"And what would the future queen like to eat today?"
Baineth appeared thoughtful
"What's on the menu?"
"Anything you like." Replied Elrond.
Baineth smiled shyly, being surprised by his words
"Anything I like?"
He nodded and smiled broadly
"To become the queen means not only to assume great responsibilities. It comes with certain advantages. One of them is that you can choose anything you like, and the elves in the kitchen will prepare it for you, if the season provides it."
Baineth leaned against the backrest and closed her eyes. Anything she liked? She opened her eyes and smiled happily.

Thranduil was on his way back to his chamber and Legolas followed him hastily through the winding corridors. The meeting had ended hours ago but his main advisors had stayed behind to converse with him in confidence. Thranduil had hated the thought first, but against all his expectations it had proven very useful. A smile crossed his face when he neared his corridor. He turned the corner and was surprised to see Elrond waiting outside of his chamber.
"You are supposed to stay with my wife!"
The king's unkind voice startled Elrond who turned around to him. The tone in Thranduil's voice did not please him and he replied to him wearily
"Her parents are with her now and I found it just right to give them some privacy. I hope that my decision did not diminish the trust you have in me and in my judgment."
Thranduil almost rolled his eyes with annoyance
"No, I'm afraid not. How long have they been here?"
He came to a stand still when he reached Elrond's side, his brows arched high as he awaited his reply.
"They entered your chamber about three hours ago." Elrond said with a glance at the prince.
Thranduil nodded and was about to walk into his chamber when Elrond stopped him
"Don't you think that you should give them some time - alone?"
The king's fingers ran along the door handle which he was just about to press down. He hesitated. Should he give them some time alone? Thranduil pondered briefly before he turned to Elrond
"No. I see no need for this. She is my wife and her parents are part of my family now."
Having said that he glanced at his son briefly before he walked inside the chamber, followed by Legolas and Elrond.
Baineth smiled happily when she saw Thranduil. Úllothel noticed the light in her daughter's eyes when he appeared and got up to bow to her king. Thranduil had reached the bed with a few long strides and with a wave of his hand said to Úllothel
"That's not necessary. Keep that for official gatherings."
Baineth's mother was surprised by the familiarity with which the king spoke. Thranduil sat down on the edge of his bed and took hold of Baineth's hand. To his pleasure they were warm. His thumb caressed her knuckles and he gazed into her eyes
"We will wed in a month's time. Tomorrow I will sent invitations to Galadriel and Celeborn. Once they reach these halls, we will marry."
The smile on her face was heartfelt and she looked up at her father, who gave her a reassuring nod. Elrond cleared his throat
"You can marry earlier."
Thranduil looked over his shoulder at him, his expression stern
"We should not wed before Galadriel is here."
Elrond nodded and walked around the bed where he stood opposite the king
"I know this. But you can let me deliver the message and marry in a fortnight."
The king pondered long over Elrond's words while he continued to caress her knuckles. Finally he gazed at Baineth who awaited his reply as much as everyone else
"Alright, You can deliver the message and let me know when they will arrive so we can start the preparations for the wedding in time."
Elrond seemed to be very happy with the king's consent. But Thranduil did not want to waste time with questioning him. He did not hesitate and requested the elves to leave the chamber. He had other things in mind than discussions. He had come to satisfy his wife. Baineth looked at Thranduil with curious eyes
"How will Elrond deliver the message to Galadriel so quickly?"
Thranduil chuckled. Everyone knew about the way Elrond and Galadriel communicated. But apparently Baineth was the only one who didn't
"They can speak to each other through their minds."
Baineth' eyes widened
"And why did you doubt?"
He kissed her knuckles
"What have I doubted?"
Baineth smiled at him
"You have been reluctant to accept Elrond's offer."
Thranduil leaned closer to her
"I did not doubt my dear. I was simply wondering why Elrond wants our wedding to take place sooner than planned. He never does anything without a deeper reason."
Now Baineth leaned closer to him
"And what is your suspicion?"
Thranduil smiled and shrugged his shoulders
"I don't know. The only thing I know is what I want to do with you now".
Her cheeks reddened, and the sight of it aroused him. She longed for him as much as he also longed for her. Baineth crawled over to him and sat in front of him. Sitting on her knees she placed her hands on her upper thighs and looked into his blue eyes which appeared to darken slightly. His breath seemed to get faster as his gaze traveled from her flushed cheeks down her neck, collarbone to her cleavage. He reached out for her. His hands traveled around her body, brushing slightly over the soft fabric of her dress. The silken laces of her dress were opened quickly and he began to bare her slender shoulders. Baineth watched as his eyes darken even further. His tongue ran over his lips when he bared her breasts and a shiver ran down her spine. Anticipation grew and she reached out for the buttons of his tunic. She leaned closer and her fingers began to unbutton his tunic while he grabbed her waist. His touch on her bare skin caused Baineth to tremble.
He was slightly taken aback when she pushed the tunic over his shoulders with such eagerness that he almost lost his balance. Baineth pushed his tunic over his elbows and wrapped her arms around his torso in order to pull him closer to her. Her nipples brushed over his chest when she claimed his mouth greedily. Thranduil groaned deeply and removed his tunic completely. He held her close, feeling her fingernails scratch over the skin of his back. They deepened their kiss and his hot and wet tongue pressed inside her mouth where it ruled over hers. The electrifying touch of each other drove their senses almost insane. Baineth fingers found his belt buckle and she opened it hastily as Thranduil pulled her dress down, baring her bum. He squeezed her cheeks before he ran his hands over them. Baineth pulled him up and removed his leggings in the process.
She moaned when he pushed her back onto the mattress before he removed her dress entirely. As the dress slid over her feet she sat up and grabbed hold of him, pulling him down onto her. Baineth desired him to a level that almost frightened her. He himself was wild with need and Thranduil grabbed her by her waist to pull her further down the mattress. His lips sought hers and he claimed them with dominance. Baineth felt his hands which roamed over her bare skin, sometimes stroking, sometimes grabbing onto her flesh with lust. He nibbled on her lower lip before he sucked it into his hot mouth. Her body twitched when he bit her rather hard. The taste of blood on his tongue caused him to slow his passionate approach. He had hurt her. Thranduil stopped instantly but the look into her eyes calmed his worry. They were clouded with lust and he kissed her again, this time not less passionate but he refrained from using his teeth.
Thranduil did not think much about his next move. His arousal was deep and his length throbbing wildly with need for release. He grabbed her legs and spread them wide, nestling himself between her thighs which appeared to tremble. He entered her without further delay. Baineth wrapped her arms around his strong neck and she pulled him downwards when he entered her inner heat. Their lips collided when he began to thrust inside her. Baineth placed her feet onto the mattress and met his thrusts with no less passion. He moaned loud and deep as he pushed his length repeatedly inside her. The desire within Baineth's body had build up rapidly and she struggled to control the movements of her body. She arched against him and Thranduil felt how her inner muscles clenched around his pulsing length. Her hot breath met his and he closed his eyes, concentrating on his movement and the lust filled waves which emanated from her being. Baineth first began to shiver, then the throbbing within her body became almost intolerable. She felt incredibly hot and her body began to tense. Her breath became irrationally fast before her toes curled and her head arched back into the pillow. She moaned out her pleasure harshly and her legs trembled violently as her inner walls gripped his shaft with demand. Thranduil trembled. He let out a long growl when he found his own release. Her female muscles milked the last of his seed out of his length and he collapsed on top of her, still feeling the aftershocks of her orgasm around his shaft.
They clung to each other, both feeling somewhat defeated by the force nature. It was Thranduil who gained control first. He turned his head and licked along her jaw-line until he reached her lips. She tasted salty and yet sweet. Her skin was silken soft and now heavily blushed by her endeavor. Baineth opened her eyes and claimed his lips in a kiss while she wrapped her arms around his neck to keep him close.

The night progressed slowly and Thranduil caught his eyes wander to her sleeping form time and time again. Baineth slept soundly in the large bed which sat on the wall. They had made love for a few hours and his thoughts traveled between their love making and the words which she had spoken to him today. Thranduil took two large gulps of wine and leaned back in his chair. His brows were furrowed deeply as he stared at her. Baineth had failed to tell him about Lhinniel and the mistreatment. And why? Baineth had feared his wrath. His wife had feared him. Thranduil closed his eyes and sighed heavily. She had once even openly admitted that she feared sometimes. But he would have never expected that this fact would endanger her to such degree. His face fell as he thought deeply about the sadness of this fact. Thranduil placed the goblet onto his desk and rubbed his forehead with his hands while he could not stop to look at Baineth. Many things in their relationship were different than he wanted. But while he knew that some of them he could not change, there were some he could alter. Her fear towards him was certainly something what he could change - if he would act accordingly. He sighed again and tilted his head to the side wondering if it was his imagination or whether he actually could see that her belly appeared larger.
He rose from his chair and approached her. His fingers ran over her skin and he covered her quickly when he felt her cold skin under his warm fingertips. Thranduil pulled the blanket up under her chin and leaned down to place a kiss on her forehead. Baineth sighed in her sleep and his thumb caressed her cheek which was still slightly flushed. They had enjoyed and longed for each other tonight to a degree which was new even to him. His appetite for her embrace had been almost intolerable..... insatiable. But she had become too tired to continue. Thranduil could have spent all night in her arms if she had not been so tired. Thranduil sat down next to her and ran his fingers through her hair which was heavily disheveled.
It would be unwise if he acted too kind and too soft. After all he was the king. No one would take him seriously anymore, when he would suddenly change significantly and would be too kind. But he might try to behave different when he was with Baineth alone. It was actually not her silence which had endangered her, it was his temper which had done so. It was time for changes. Thranduil stared at the ceiling and pondered about his present life. He wondered how much his life would change once his child was born. His gaze fell onto Baineth and his expression saddened. Would his child grow up as Legolas had done? A hint of desperation appeared in his eyes and he rocked his head from side to side. Guild spread through his conscience and Thranduil was suddenly no longer sure if he should be happy at the fact that his wife was with child. What if he would fail? Baineth was young and innocent. But he had seen traits of a warrior in her. She could be strong and determined like she had been on the day when he had pushed her aside. The day she had been wounded in the passages. The memory of that incident brought even more guilt into his conscience and Thranduil closed his eyes in frustration. Baineth would not tolerate it if he would not treat their child the way she expected it. She would be right. He sighed deeply. Her inner strength would aid her as a queen. But what if Thranduil would have to face it someday? He had to change himself. Now more than ever. But he was unsure if he would make it. The fear of failure entered into his heart at this moment and would not leave him for a long time.
Elrond had to try one last time it
"Do you think this is a good idea?"
The king's fingers ran over the white gems which lay in the small wooden box. They felt cold but their beauty warmed his heart. He glanced over to Elrond while he closed the box with a flick of his hand and handed it to the guard which stood near him
"Why you doubt my decision? I know very well that the dwarf are greedy. But I am paying good - better than others. Apart from this there is no one else who can deliver what I want. No one except the dwarfs."
Thranduil picked up the scroll which lay on his desk and handed it to another guard. His stern glance fell on them
"Deliver this to Erebor. Make haste as time runs short."
The guards bowed low and left the king's study in a hurry. While Thranduil sat back down in his chair behind the desk, Elrond could not help but sighed heavily. He closed his eyes and shook his head, mourning silently what was to come. He had seen the future and there was nothing more he could do to change it. His council had fallen on deaf ears as the king had repeatedly ignored his hidden warnings. Thranduil would face major challenges in the future. Elrond had tried to avert the fate to the extent that he was allowed to. But apparently fate should take its place in the life of the king. Elrond wondered how the king would master the future. Baineth's presence in his life had changed him greatly. But Elrond felt almost sick with worry, knowing what would happen. He worried not only for Baineth and her child, but for all the inhabitants of the woodland realm
"Galadriel and Celeborn will leave Lothlorien today at nightfall. They will travel light and will reach your halls in ten days."
Elrond watched Thranduil thoughtfully and awaited his reaction. Thranduil looked up from the scroll which he had been reading
"Inform Galion about the details. He will arrange for the necessary preparations."
The king fell silent and Elrond could not help but ask
"What about the female guards?"
"What about them?" The king's voice was harsh and clearly agitated
"They will return to their respective homes. I no longer need them."
Thranduil remained silent and stared angered at the scroll he was reading. The Lord of Imladris got up and left the king's study. Elrond had seen into the future what had caused him great concern. And there was no doubt in his mind that the king himself was aware of his son's interest in Tauriel. Thranduil suspected a romance what made him angry. But Elrond knew better. Their fate would be different.
Once the door had closed Thranduil threw the scroll onto his desk and got up from his chair. He walked to the window and looked out over the forest. The female guards... why was Elrond asking? Of course he might need Tauriel's skills in Imladris. But Elrond was much to clever to ask useless questions. What if.... what if he had seen something what the king had noticed already? Thranduil's mood darkened further when he recalled the gaze, with which Legolas stared at Tauriel. He was obviously captivated by the elleth. The king's fist hit the carved window frame and he clenched his teeth. No matter what his son felt or imagined, this would never happen!
Thinking about his son he was painfully reminded of the fact, that he still had to speak to him. He growled softly as the thought crossed his mind. His fingers traced over the oaken wood and he sighed. He heard someone fill his goblet with wine and he turned his head to look over his shoulder
"Go and tell my son that I shall meet him tonight here in my study."
The maid put the jug of wine on the desk and bowed to her king before she walked out of the study to find the prince.

Thranduil stood at the door of his balcony and looked out through the wet glass. It had been raining all day long and he thought about the conversation which he would have this evening with his son. His body tensed momentarily when he felt Baineth's hands. She hugged him from behind and rested her hands on his chest. He felt how her cheek pressed firmly against his back and he took one of her hands within his and kissed it
"I called for my son. I can't avoid this conversation any longer."
Baineth smiled and nodded, rubbing her cheek against his back in the process. The silence which had followed his words was broken by her question
"Is there something you wish to discuss with me?"
His brows furrowed and he wondered if she meant something certain or if it was but a simple question of hers. He shook his head slightly
"No, there is nothing to discuss."
Baineth sighed inaudible but he noticed it the way her body moved. He turned around and picked her up in his arms, carrying her over the the settee which he had placed in front of his fire place. She was often cold - a side effect of her pregnancy and she spent most of her time near the fire. He placed her onto the settee and covered her with a blanket. Baineth nuzzled her head into the pillow and looked up at him. His fingertips ran along her jaw-line and he brushed them over her lips. His calm expression tensed when a knock from the door interrupted their moment.
He looked over his shoulder and allowed the doors to open. Elrond walked in. He was pleased to see Baineth resting. He approached them, while his gaze was fixed on the king. It was time to talk "Don't you think that it s time to address certain topics? Your wedding is coming up and the weather worsens with each day that passes by."
Baineth knew immediately what Elrond was speaking about and acted as if she did not understand. She eyed the king attentively. Thranduil clenched his teeth and shot a fiery glance at Elrond
"No! I will not discuss this!"
Elrond shook his head
"Within a few weeks the weather will have become wintry on high-pass. If Baine..."
The king's voice thundered through his chamber causing Baineth to wince
"She goes nowhere! Baineth will not leave this halls!"
Thranduil stood now intimidating close and eyed Elrond with hot temper. The Lord of Imladris remained unperturbed despite the rude behavior of the king
"I thought that we had discussed that it would be better for Baineth to stay with me until the child was born. You had agreed to this."
Thranduil's eyes were on fire and his voice fierce
"Yes, I had agreed."
The king hissed through his gritted teeth
"But I have changed my mind! She will not leave my side! But you will stay here with us until our child is born!"
Baineth gasped in shock and her gaze traveled between the king and Elrond as she awaited worriedly what would happen next. Elrond was very calm
"You will force me to stay here if I decide to return to Imladris without her?"
Thranduil seethed with anger
"Just stay! Don't make me force you to remain with us!"
Elrond eyed the king silently for a long time before he left the king's chamber without another word. Thranduil followed him with long strides. When he reached the doors the king shouted to his guards
"Make sure that he does not leave my halls without my permission. Should anyone aid him in leaving my realm, he will be executed!"
The king's doors slammed shut and Thranduil leaned his forehead against the hard and cold wood. Under no circumstances would he let Elrond go! This situation had happened at a very inconvenient time. Galadriel would preach to him and he despised her chastisement as much as he hated her advise. But what happened had happened. It could not be undone. Thranduil thought about possible means which Elrond might find to leave his halls. Thranduil's fist slammed against the door and he tried to breathe deeply to calm his anger. The silence in the chamber reminded him painfully of the fact that Baineth had overheard his rather fierce behavior. This was exactly the opposite of what he wanted. He took a step backwards from the doors and risked a look over his shoulder into her direction. She was not there.

Obedience to a king
