"...a queen, actually," Lucy said softly. She had been watching the doctor as she spoke, thinking of the few girls at school she had come to like and know, of one in particular, named Marjorie, whom she had tried very hard to be kind to. But it wasn't the same, none of those girls could have ever understood Narnia, and it made a kind of barrier, that was hard to get around.
"My siblings and I, we were all kings and queens. There was a prophesy, that two sons of Adam and two daughters of Eve would sit upon the four thrones of Cair Paravel and overthrow the White Witch, then wrongful queen. And we did defeat her, with the help of Aslan and many Narnians. So my brother, Peter, became high king, over all kings of Narnia, and Susan, and Edmund, and I, became monarchs too." Her voice was very soft, and far-away, and she felt rather like she was remembering a very beautiful poem.
"...they crowned me the Valiant," she said, almost a whisper, "and Peter was the Magnificent. Edmund was the Just, and Susan... the Gentle."
