Ah, well. Whoops. She hadn't really meant to get into all that as titles seemed to be a Very Big Deal here and she... she wasn't in Narnia. How could she be a queen when she was not responsible, when she had no rule? It gave her a very pretty set of rooms and she hadn't hesitated to take advantage of that, but it didn't make any sense.
But there wasn't much point in keeping it back at this point, she'd gone this far. There was a certain wild joy in telling the truth of it as well, after being silent for so long.
"My brothers, sister, and I were - are - kings and queens of Narnia," she said. "We reigned under the highest of all high kings, Aslan. He gave the country into our keeping, and we did our best with it."
It was hard not to remember now, the ruins of Cair Paravel - the times, good and difficult when the court was alive and whole, and what it had come to in the end. She hoped Caspian would rebuild it, their shining palace by the sea. She hoped he would rule well, and that the forests would once again be filled with talking beasts. She had some faith in him, but she wasn't like Lucy - it was out of her hands now, and maybe it would be better to forget.
