Single for Eternity

I entered my chambers, kicking off my boots before settling onto my comfy bed. The plush fabric embraced me, the exhaustion of the day whispering for me to succumb to sleep.

I resisted.

Barely.

The weight of today’s events pressed against my mind, lingering like an echo in an empty hall. I had taken a step forward in restructuring this land, shaping it into something new. The power I wielded was finally taking root, and yet...

There was still so much more to do.

A few minutes passed before a knock echoed through the room.

"Come in," I said, voice steady despite my fatigue.

The door creaked open, and in stepped the group of five maids.

But this time—

Tauriel was with them.

And she was wearing a maid outfit.
