Oh, Al. Lucy looked at him for a long, long moment, considering his question very carefully. Her heart ached for them both. Al so clearly loved her brother, and she was becoming more sure by the day that Edmund could find no better mate.
Her answer, when it came, was truthful. "Who he is now...would be content to marry Kala and give Narnia an heir and rule whatever she let him. But he is so much more than that. You know that, Al." She squeezed his arm with conviction. "Aslan himself gave the justice and mercy of Narnia to him, and him to Narnia. We cannot do without him. I cannot bear for him to become a shadow of his true self."
She met the golden eyes as if in challenge. "Help us find what's wrong. Whatever is between you, Narnia needs her Just King."
