Chapter 12: Epilogue

Lucy zipped up Susan's dress, and admired her sister. "Oh, Susan, you look beautiful!"

Susan smiled and turned to her mirror. The white dress she wore fit her wonderfully. But still, she frowned.

            "Susan?" Lucy asked, catching her expression.

            "I wish Mum were here… and dad. They should see me getting married."

            "You know they can't."

            "I know."

            "Aren't you happy, Susan?"

Susan smiled, and looked down once again at her ring. "More than words can say." The ring that Caspian had given her meant that he would be hers forever. She had to stop herself from spinning around the room! Caspian hers, forever! Since she had met him, it's what she felt was right in her heart. He stood by her, protected her, yet let her be independent all at the same time, and no man had ever made her feel this way.

            "I guess that's what it feels like to be in love." Lucy grinned, and placed the veil on Susan's head.

            "Oh, Lucy… one day you'll experience what I'm feeling."

            "I hope so!" She gave Susan one last look over and said, "Come on, we have a wedding to attend."

Doctor Cornelius smoothed Caspian's jacket down over his shoulders. Caspian's eyes were locked on something just over Cornelius's shoulder.

            "Nervous?" Cornelius asked.   

            "No." Caspian replied quickly.

Cornelius chuckled. "I was nervous too when I first married."

Caspian looked at him oddly, "You never said…"

            "She passed away a long time ago."

            "I'm sorry."

            "Don't be, my dear boy." He replied, "Those were the happiest times of my life, apart from seeing you grow into a fine king."

Caspian noticed Peter standing just out of his eyesight. "High King Peter?"

Peter was dressed in royal silver and crimson attire, and gave him a small nod. "May I have a word?"

Cornelius gave Caspian a pat on the back and left the room.

            "I just wanted to say that I'm really happy for you two." Peter began.

            "Thank you."

            "Still, Susan is my sister…"

Caspian held up his hand. "I love her, and I always will."

Peter grinned from ear to ear, "I guess there's nothing left to say then. Let's get you married."

The castle was decorated beautifully. Lace and dozens of roses adorned the windows, and as Susan walked down the aisle to Caspian, white roses littered the floor. And as she reached Caspian, and stood beside him, her eyes shining with tears, he reached for her hand and brought it to his lips.

"You shall be my first and only queen." He whispered, his accent caressing the air and massaging her ears.

"And you shall be my king always." Susan said softly.

 And it was here in the Telmar castle where they were married by Aslan, in front of the Pevensies and all of the Narnians, and under the stars in which Alena shone.
