After dinner, Alia followed her father to his office. In front of the door he stopped and turned around to her and asked: "Alia my dear, why do you follow me? Is anything wrong?"
The girl shook her head and answered: "No, I just wanted to ask you a question: What do you really think about me?" Aragorn looked at her really puzzled and lifted up one eyebrow. "What do you mean with that? What should I think of you," he questioned and leaned back against the wall.
"I mean, do you love me? You never showed me just in one way that you have any feelings for me, neither good or bad! You never spent time with me when I was younger, you never asked e ho I felt and even when I woke up after the disaster on the Pelennor you just stroked my cheek and again turned away from me without saying a word. Are you angry with me because of the things I've done in my life? I know, I've never been a very good girl, I've always been interested in adventures but is this a reason to not love me? You've always seemed to be ashamed that you have a daughter like me," said Alia and looked directly into the eyes of her father who lowered his gaze to the ground.
"Do you really think of me that way? Alia, I love all of my children, I really do and it makes me sad that you really think I don't love you. I've always cared for you and the other girls as much as I care for your brother. I love all my children the same but maybe you are right and I should have spent more time with you and that I should have shown you more that I love you no matter what you do. When you woke up I just didn't know what to say because my head was all messed up. I thought I had lost you forever and that nearly broke my heart. Believe me, I do love you and I the future I will spent more time with you," Aragorn took her into an embrace and kissed her forehead.
Alia was now crying and sobbed: "I'm so sorry that I thought of you that way but I just couldn't help and felt unloved by you! I promise that I will keep my fingers out of dangerous things in the future and that I try to be a real princess!"
The king laughed softly and responded: "You don't have to be a real princess, just be yourself and enjoy your life. And now- why don't we two go into the conference room and talk for a while? Think that would be nice!"
The girl nodded with a big smile and followed her father downstairs.

"Ouch, that hurt," moaned Aragorn and held his side with one hand, his sword in the other hand. "She's just like her father, "laughed Arwen and caught Lithiel with one hand, who was going to fall off the bench while trying to catch a butterfly.
Alia held her sword into the direction of her father and shouted: "I am the winner! Your sword fell to the ground when I hit you side!" Aragorn lifted up his arms and said between laughter:" Well, I give up! Maybe you should ride into the next battle instead of mine? Our enemies would be very surprised about you talent to fight!"
Arwen frowned when she thought of another battle and answered: "Let's hope that there won't be another war in the coming years! And now let's go inside, it's getting dark!" She stood up from the bench, took Lithiel's little hand and walked slowly into the direction of the stairs that led inside.
"Hey, I want revenge my beloved daughter," shouted Aragorn and grabbed Alia who tried to get out of his grip.
He carried her to a little lake in the middle of the garden and threw her inside. Alia coughed when she climbed out of the water and just when she wanted to shout at her father, pretending to be angry, she had another idea.
In moment were he was laughing that much that he closed his eyes, she sneaked behind him and gave him a push. He stumbled further and landed into the lake as well with a loud 'klatsch'!
Arwen turned around and smiled when she saw both of the in the lake, throwing water at each other and giggling. "Come on Lithiel, let's get inside and look if the dinner is already ready," she said before walking inside and letting the two behind...
TBC if you want!
