Author's note: Hi! It's great to meet you again, dear readers! And I owe the reviewers my thanks.

So, a Crown Princess under arrest for treason! That's something we wouldn't see every day. Now Aragorn will soon find out his daughter is alive, but also that she has turned against him. How will he react?

As always, I hope you'll like it!

Please read and review!

Lucy

"Here we are, now you're in my arms.
Here we are for a brand new start.
I got to live with the choices I've made,
And I can't live with myself today.

Me and Lucy walking hand in hand.
Me and Lucy never wanna end.
I've got to live with the choices I've made,
And I can't live with myself today.

Hey Lucy, I remember your name."

Skillet: 'Lucy'

Father vs. daughter

"I'm sorry that I hurt you.

It's something I must live with every day.

And all the pain I put you through,

I wish that I could take it all away,

And be the one who catches all your tears.

That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be.

A reason to start over new.

And the reason is you."

Hoobastank: 'The Reason'

"My High King," the bodyguard greeted politely. "Captain Bergil and the Guard have returned. They wish to speak to you. They refused to tell us why, but they said you would be very pleased with what they brought with them upon their return."

Aragorn sighed: "I can't believe it. What could rejoice me in these dark days?"

"Captain Bergil was explicit, my Lord. He is almost sure he will succeed," the lifeguard answered.

Aragorn conceded: "I'm not convinced, but I am curious. Very well, I will come with you."

The soldiers bowed as the Lord Marshal walked past them. The Gondorian High King ignored them.

There was almost nothing that did interest him anymore. The grief was still too sharp.

After a short walk he arrived at Captain Bergil and his Guards.

The Captain knelt: "Hail, Aragorn, son of Arathorn, King Elessar, Lord and High King of Gondor!"

"Hail, Captain Bergil. Welcome," Aragorn said listlessly.

The Captain started: "My Lord, we have good and bad tidings to bring to you."

"The good news," Aragorn immediately commanded. "Without any good tidings, I don't think I can survive any more bad ones."

The Captain answered: "As you wish, Your Majesty. I suppose in this case that would be the more logical order anyway."

Then he ordered his soldiers to separate. Aragorn immediately recognized the girl standing in their midst.

"Lucy!"

"Dad!"

Father and daughter flew into each other's arms.

Aragorn shed tears of joy. "Oh, Lucy! I've missed you so much! They told me you… you were dead. But you're here! You have no idea how happy I am! I won't let you go again, I promise."

The soldiers watched with a mixture of joy for their liege's happiness, relief because his mood was likely to improve, embarrassment because they witnessed such an intimate moment, and discomfort because they know what the Captain was yet to say.

Lucy meanwhile answered: "I am happy to see you too. I love you, Dad. And I wanted you back so bad."

Finally, after what could have been minutes as well as hours or even several sun-covered days to him, Aragorn let go of his child.

"Damn that Narnian! Of course, deep down I should have known he was lying. He'll regret that. But you're alive. For today, that's plenty. Yes, I am happier than I thought I'd ever be."

Lucy merely laughed; she really had missed the great man, the strongest Man that walked this Earth, her beloved father; not even the Pevensies had been able to make up for that.

Aragorn wiped away his and her tears and cheerfully and loudly addressed the Captain of the Guard: "Thank you, thank you, Bergil! I am in your debt for this. You have given me my hope, my zest for life, my love back. I cannot reward you sufficiently, but let me try."

Bergil answered, not entirely at ease: "Your Majesty, you haven't quite heard everything yet. I fear you may want to reconsider that rewarding part."

"Oh yes, the bad news. Go on, tell me; surely it can't darken this bright day! I'm just glad my daughter is alive," Aragorn encouraged him.

The Captain hesitated: "As you wish, my Lord. We did bring her back, but… we had to take her with us against her own wishes."

"What are you saying?" Aragorn asked surprised.

Bergil mustered his courage and spoke: "Your daughter has betrayed us all, my King. She sides with the Narnians."

Aragorn drew his sword. "Who among you worthless cowards has the nerve to accuse my own flesh and blood of anything in the face of Andúril?"

"My Lord," a Guard carefully stepped forward, "Your loyal Captain speaks the truth. I have heard her words when she commanded to leave the Narnians alone and she sounded sincere when she even called them her friends. It is beyond my comprehension, unworthy as I am, but she has betrayed us."

A bodyguard came forward. "Your Majesty, please do not pretend now we shouldn't have foreseen this, couldn't have known it! This news hardly comes as a surprise to me. Remember with how much affection she has spoken of Narnia on earlier occasions!"

Aragorn snapped at him: "Shut up! That really is something for you, isn't it? You want to bring her into discredit – poison me against my own daughter! Well, never shall I prefer you to her, never!"

"My Lord," Bergil started again," your bodyguards have their own reasons and you are well in your right to protect your daughter from them. But we have four witnesses who have heard her pleading for the Narnians."

Hesitantly Aragorn re-sheathed his sword and asked his child: "Are they right? I know you; you don't lie and certainly not to me. Look at me and tell me they're lying. I won't hurt you, and I won't allow them to do so."

Lucy asked hesitantly: "Dad, what have the Narnians done to us? Why do we have to fight them?"

Aragorn stood up. This matter had become painful.

What did he have to do now? He had always made a point of calling disloyalty unforgivable. He couldn't afford to suddenly allow exceptions now.

But… Lucy was his daughter. There was no one he loved more.

He had to pronounce a sentence, but he couldn't even think clearly.

Buying time! That was the only thing left for him to do.

With a far too big dose of self-contempt, he ordered: "Bind her. If she really does like Narnians that much, she'll be delighted seeing our other guest again."

Author's note: Okay, this wasn't the longest, but trust me, it was hard. A lot of emotions, all battling… Difficult, at least for me. But I think I pulled it off =)

Well, maybe at first Aragorn looks a little cruel, but altogether, he's the victim of the situation.

Coming up next on 'The king, the girl and the lion: Edmund and Lucy are reunited; how will that go? After all, Edmund betrayed Lucy as well. And what about Aragorn? By now, he's unstable – and Edmund has lied to him. But there's more. There is something special about Edmund. What is he really capable of?

Please review! I always like the confirmation someone is really bothering reading this ;)
