To familiarise yourself with the characters you could read Melpomaen the Elfling first, but it is not necessary.
Here is a brief synopsis of the events leading up to this story:
Melpomaen and Ereolas are Erestor and Legolas’ elflings. Ereolas is King Oropher reborn and so Legolas actually gave birth to his grand ada in the form of a small baby. Ereolas is able to speak, read, write, be a pain in the ass, as soon as he is born. Shortly after his birth, he demands his old throne back. His parents and the Valar, who prefer Thranduil as king, resist him. Ereolas accepts, in the end, that he will never be a king again and adopts a new hobby: researching and imposing the rules of etiquette. He terrorises everyone with etiquette.
Oropher’s soul mate was Cirdan and when he is reborn as Ereolas he is still his soul mate, so when he reaches his majority he marries Cirdan and moves to Mithlond with him. Recently, Ereolas has expanded his interests to include hunting down all written works about Oropher and correcting them. He also carries the curse of Legolas.
