Chapter 11

The next day, Aslan had to talk with Peter and Melendie. He went looking for them.

When He found them, He said, "Peter, Melendie, come with me. I must speak with both of you." They followed Him.

When they were a little away from everyone else, He said, "Peter, as you know the last time you were in Narnia, I told you that you were not to return."

"Is this now my last time?" Peter asked.

"I am allowing you and Susan to return once more. Then you are not to return to Narnia," Aslan told him.

"Thank you sir," Peter responded, smiling.

"With all due respect, sir," Melendie asked," what does this have to do with me?"

"Narnia needs a queen. Caspian cannot rule by himself. And I have decided that you, Melendie, shall rule as queen."

A shocked expression came over her face, "M-m-me?" she asked, stuttering. "But why? I couldn't possibly."

"You have every trait needed of a queen," He told her, "and more."

"But," Peter commented, "doesn't she need to have royal blood?"

"Yes," Aslan answered," she does. And she has it."

"What?" Melendie asked, completely taken back.

"Your father was the crown-prince of Macebreth, and the heir to the throne."

"But, my father was a poor man," Melendie argued. "He was a merchant who made just enough money for us to survive."

"Your father left his royal life to be with you mother. He was told that he could either be king, or marry her. And he chose her. So you, Melendie, have royal blood."

"So, can I just be crowned queen?" Melendie asked.

"No," Aslan answered. "You must be part of the royal family to be queen." Both Melendie and Peter were puzzled.

"Melendie, because you are not one of them by blood, you must marry into it."

"Marry? Me?" she asked frantically. Aslan nodded. "To Caspian?" Here, He shook his head.

"No. Caspian will not be back for many more weeks, and you must become queen as soon as possible. You must marry the next highest royal present."

It took them a minute. When they finally figured it out, both Peter and Melendie stopped in their tracks.

"I'm to marry...Peter?" He nodded.

"But how could we-"Peter started to say something, but was interrupted.

"Your love for each other is strong," Aslan told them. "I realized it when Melendie went against me to save you."

"Will the marriage be real back in my world?" Peter asked.

"No, it will not of existed," Aslan answered.

"Do the others know?" Melendie also asked.

"No. Go tell them I wish to speak with them."

They two walked away to fetch the other three.

As they were walking away, Melendie said to Peter, "Wow, I feel like the weight of the world was just set on my shoulders."

"Welcome to my world," Peter replied, laughing.
