Elfhelm simply nodded to Erana`s first words, but did not speak before she was finally finished. What she said was interesting, thought he understood her. She had lost many, however maybe now she was able to gain more as the marriage soon was to be held. "I will stay till the wedding, yes. If you would let me of course, if you wish I could also be here to help planning if needed?"He said and asked, hoping she was alright with the wedding. It was a big step for her to take, she was to become the queen and a lot of responsibility stood before her.

Erana was delighted as well that Elfhelm said no more to the topic of her little daughter, she now would be able to let it rest again for a little while and not have it burden her heart even more. She rested her head on Elfhelm's shoulder for a few moments while they walked, with this showing him that she still needed him, although she was about to marry now once again. She needed her big brother, for he always had been there for her, her whole life long, and this would never change for her, he was the most important man in her life beside Eldarion.
Before speaking, Erana heaved her head again off his strong shoulder and nodded her head. "Of course, brother, I want you to be there. I could never marry without you standing behind me." she told him, looking up to him like a little child, begging for her big brother to stay with her and help her through these next days, or maybe even weeks. She so had wished for him to come. The people disliking her, the pressure, the preparing of the wedding, the feeling she would not be good enough to become king, she wished for her brother to be there for her as part of Rohan, her home, and as the only family she had left to give her the strength to cope with all this.
"Eldarion and I have not really planned yet how it should be, how exactly, what we have to do and what... what his servants will prepare." She explained to Elfhelm. "I feel a little unsure with having all these people around me, tending to me, doing all the work, I'm not used to that." she spoke, expressing what was easy to understand. After all, she came from a completely different country, different people, different customs, from rather poor level, not high.

Elfhelm was glad to have his sister close as they went, the city surely was great in its pride, the ancient stones could tell the story of its past. Many battles of war and feelings had wondered threw time, and always it had been up to the leaders to handle the situations who appeared. Now as Erana of low rank was to marry Eldarion of high, together they would be king and queen, ruling the kingdom in good and bad as long they lived. However the future was unsure if she could make it or not, but waiting to see they had too.
With Erana leaning against his shoulder it made him smile, it showed him that she still needed him and it was good. He had missed her, hoping she was alright and gladly she seem to be, but also missing him. Curious he listened to what she said, in return he answered as he watched her move her head to walk steady on."I can Imagen it all is different for you, then what your used to at home. However if you do love Eldarion, then you should take the path you have followed. I would at least loved to show you the path down the alter, many great news is told about the wedding to come sister. People at home are traveling far to see the event come true, its almost as the two kinds of men, unite under one banner."

Erana smiled at Elfhelm's comparison of the unition of two great countries of men under one banner. He was right, in some way, even although she was no woman of high birth, she still represented Rohan in some way, as Eldarion represented the Reunited Kingdom. There Erana had to think of Eowyn, she too was so close to the Gondorian throne one time, but had found her true love elsewhere. But no, for Erana this was different. To often she already had given away her heart, to her first husband whom she married when she still was a child, 12 years old, and to Heldgrim, whom she thought she loved in desperate need for romance, love, someone to share her feelings with.
"I would love you walking me down to the altar, brother, that would be exactly what I wish for my wedding, this and the man I love awaiting me there." Erana said smiling. She was sure, this day would become the most happy day in her life, or at least one of the most happy days, because she was sure, if she ever was to have children again, their birthdays would be her happiest days as well.
"And really, the Rohan people are so interested in this wedding, I had no idea of this. I am... honoured of this, but... it is not yet even sure when the wedding will be." Erana was unsure, it also was great responsibility to seem to represent Rohan, she had not been prepared on this. Queen, yes, that was obvious that she needed to prepare on this, and she still needed to learn much, from elvish, to history and other studies that she had not learned in Rohan, as well as behaviour.

"Yes well, the people is excited in the wedding to come. None of them would want to miss a such event taking place, specially when a Rohan lady is involved. However if me following you up the alter makes you happy then I shall gladly lead you."Elfhelm returned in answer as he smiled, watching his sister as they went walking. Many thoughts wondered threw his mind, when so many things was to happen. His own little sister was to marry the prince, she had lots to learn and many things to do. If needed he would be there to help, in any way possible.
"I believe there is much to plan for the wedding, maybe I am able to aid you in some way?"He said and asked curiously, wondering if there was anything for him to do. Elfhelm cared for his sister, as she was the only one he had left of the family. He himself had started to turn old, as the years was passing threw time. Twenty years older he was, as he were the first born by the parents and Erana the last in born in time of late. Great bond and relationship the two siblings had got, ever since they had stayed in contact and helped each other threw difficult periods.

"Well, then I believe you are right, many will come to see the wedding and coronation of Gondor's future king and his fiancée." Erana answered, although she had an undefinable feeling deep in her stomach, she had not expected so many people to come and wanting to see her wedding. But, of course, as it was the wedding of Eldarion with a Rohan girl, she should have guessed. Maybe it was nervosity she felt, but she was not sure. For her, it was a fact that she loved Eldarion, more than she had ever loved a man before. But there was so much else to think of as well, so much responsibility, after this marriage she was to represent Gondor as one of the Royals. How was she to do this? As far as she had contact with the Gondorians by now, they detested her, thought her not worthy enough for their prince, thought her a whore for already had been married. How should she satisfy these people, show them that she was worth it, that she was able to cope with this assignment of being a Queen, that she would not fail and that her love for Eldarion was true? She did not know. This heavied her heart.
"Of course, I am sure you somehow will be able to help us, brother." She now continued to speak, also to distract herself from her dark thoughts. "But I can not tell much at this moment, firstly Eldarion and I need to plan a little how it should be, what he wishes for." she explained, and in her mind planned that after her walk with Elfhelm she would consult Eldarion and ask him about his thoughts of their wedding, what customs were usual in Gondor, what rituals, who else would help them. She did not know much of these things.

Elfhelm simply nodded to answer the words his sister spoke, they were right and true as he understood. She had a great deal ahead of her, the wedding was to be big and it was easy to see. Many already had traveled, wanting to experience the event taking place. If she needed him he would be there, cause he was her big brother and always took care of her. He wanted her to be happy, even she had her problems at times. At the moment it was not difficult to see, she had problems with dark thoughts of future. Getting married with the prince needed a lot of improvements, as she was a normal girl who got together with someone rich who gained her attention a lot.
With linked arms they walked, watching the people and one another as they went. The words she spoke he had listened curious too, but in return spoke to her only."Let us find your prince, maybe we can figure important things for your wedding. I believe he must be finished soon, with showing the others their rooms."He said with a smile, thinking that his sister never had looked more lovely as she was fixed up then ever. Earlier she had looked filthy and slightly dressed, now as she was to become a royal herself she had cleaned herself up, wearing amazing dresses who took looks from others.

Erana had stayed silent for a couple of moments, waiting for Elfhelm to reply, and thinking of her wedding, how it could be. She never had had her dream wedding, the wedding with her first husband was only a very small, intimate celebration as the reason for their marriage was her being pregnant. Not much attention had bbeen brought up to it to keep it unknown to other people. But this wedding, with the man she loves, this wedding should be perfect in any aspect.
She saw herself, walking towards the altar, the priest, but most of all towards Eldarion, walking with her hand linked to Elfhelm's, wearing a beautiful white gown. People were smiling at her, standing, but for Erana, only Eldarion existed, and she would keep smiling at him, looking at him and admireing him. But there it was, the doubt. Would she really wear a white dress? After all, it symbolised innocence, would she herself or anyone else see her as innocent? Would people be smiling at her?
Elfhelm at last brought her back to reality. "Yes, then I will show you the way back to where Eldarion probably will now stay." she said, and walking around the next corner, entering the main street which would lead them to the uppermost levels of Minas Tirith.

As Elfhelm and Erana where speaking below the 6th gate, Eldarion approached. He had showed the other guests their room, now heading back to the woman he loved. However as he had been gone many things had happened, with him and other emotionally. The feelings he had kept for Eolin and sparked out as he had been with her, they had kissed but sonly now tried to hide it. Eldarion felt guilty and was afraid his loved wife to be would figure what had happened, or see it on him.
Slowly he came closer, seeing the siblings talking down the road and with not long he stood before them. With a slight smile he watched, hoping he did not look bad as his eyes was focused on Erana with nervously."Hello there, having a nice trip?"Eldarion said and asked, coming closer as he took the hands of his wife to be in his. She was beautiful and the dress she had been given fitted her well, his thoughts about what she had done while he was gone made him curious. Wondering what she and her brother had talked about, for so long as he himself had been busy.

When Eldarion approached Erana and Elfhelm, she looked up, sensing he was returning. Something was different about him, she noticed this when she saw him, but she could not put the finger on what it was that made her suspicious. He looked completely the same, same clothes, same facial expression, but no... He had a worried look upon his face, almost nervous, something has happened for sure. Or could she be sure? One moment later this look already was gone again, and Erana could not say for sure if it not was only her own imagination.
She decided to let it be, to forget about it. She greeted him with a smile, walking swiftly towards him. "Eldarion, you are back again so soon." she spoke. "Indeed, we were just discussing the plans for our wedding, you would be a great help if you decide to join us." she tried to include him in their planning.

Eldarion was happy to see Erana again as he returned, however worried he was but tried not to show it. When she came over with a smile, he smiled in return and embraced her lovely. She looked beautiful and he was amazed by the sight he saw, interested he listened and in answer spoke."Sure, my love. I will join you, we have lots to discuss and plan."He said with a smile, watching Erana gentle before he leaned closer to kiss her lips softly.
As it was done he turned looking at Elfhelm that stood behind her, wondering what he thought about him marrying Erana. He just hoped everything was alright and that he didn't bare any grudge toward him, however Eldarion loved Erana and would do everything to please and keep her. With pleasant hands he held hers, watching her with a loved look as he saw deep into her eyes the love she cared for him.

(okey then I post  ) Elfhelm watched curiously from were he stood at the side of his sister, as Eldarion suddenly approached after long time he had been gone. Something about him seemed suspicious as not normal he acted, it was as if bad things had happened which he would not like to tell the woman he loved. However silent Elfhelm stood, but smiled in return as Eldarion looked at him. It was an honor to meet the prince of Gondor, and it was with joy that filled his heart when the news of his sister were to marry a man of great importance. The dress the royals of Gondor had given Erana was both beautiful and pretty, cause newly made it seemed as covered it were with great colors that only rich people could afford. It pleased Elfhelm that his sister had got so lucky in just a short time, even Eldarion seemed difficult for him to trust. Maybe the prince had fallen in love with someone else, as Eolin who just had arrived. He did not know, but he guessed by the looks they had given each other when they all were gathered. |

(Yay  ) "Well, then shall we go up, to the citadel maybe? We three need to plan a wedding I believe." Erana spoke cheerfully. She decided to ignore Eldarion's changed behaviour and all to the contrary speak on randomly, making believe that everything was alright, even although she felt that it was not. Her brother Elfhelm at least need not know about any possible problems. She was sure, it was not something worrying Eldarion was thinking about. "You know, Elfhelm, originally Eldarion's sister wanted to celebrate her wedding together with us. However, we decided differently, after all, Eldarion's and my wedding will include the coronation as well, and it would have been too much to celebrate at once." She told Elfhelm, distracting theit topic to talk about even further while she continued to walk up the road to the higher levels. She had her hand linked with Eldarion's now, happy to be with him again at the same time as being with Elfhelm, the two most important men in her life being around her was a moment to remember. |

Yes, walking inside would be lovely if we are to plan I believe."Eldarion said with a smile to Erana as in front of him she stood, the sight of her made him relaxed even within him his heart pumped more. It would be a great marriage he believed, as so many were invited to come and see the event taking place. As the words he had spoken were finished, he kept listening to the rest she said as speaking to her brother Elfhelm she was. Gentle he linked his arm with hers as next to each other they stood, now if her brother accepted they would continue into the palace, were they more able were to plan.
However the sight Elfhelm gave Eldarion when he returned was shocking, as annoyed he seemed about his presence. Was something wrong? did he know what had happened? He hoped not, as in secret he had kissed Eolin without Erana knowing. Love for Eolin the princess of Ithilien, had risen within him as they met not long ago. He just hoped everything was alright, and that Erana still did not know about the deeds he had done. Cause he himself, wished to tell about it if time came to do so.
