For Narnia

18.2

Once they return to the castle and explain what has happened to the citizens, Caspian is crowned king by Aslan. Caspian leads the way into the castle on horseback with Zoe and the Pevensies following him while also on horseback. The Telemarines cheer as they Welcome their new king and the Narnians into the castle. They celebrate into the night where there are fireworks.

Zoe is standing on a balcony as she watches the fireworks while she plays with the engagement ring that is still on the necklace around her neck.

"Did I mention how beautiful you look tonight?" Peter asks as he stands beside Zoe, nervously.

"Not that I can think of," Zoe answers him with an overdramatized thinking face.

"Well you do," Peter responds with a smile, causing Zoe to look down as she blushes before he notices that Zoe is playing with the ring on her necklace. "I know you said to wait until we won and we did..." Peter lightly cups Zoe's chin to guide it up so she can look at him. "I love you, Zoe Bradbury."

"Really?" Zoe asks as she looks up at Peter to make sure.

"Really, really," Peter answers her honestly before he slowly kisses her, causing her to smile into the kiss.

Peter slightly deepens the kiss to distract Zoe from noticing him taking the necklace off. Zoe rests her forehead against Peter's as they pull apart for air. Peter smiles at Zoe as he bends down on one knee while taking her left hand in his hand.

"I know that we are technically still engaged but it only feels fitting to ask again," Peter explains as Zoe smiles at him while she fights back the happy tears that are threatening to fall. "Zoe Bradbury, would you do me the extraordinary honor of marrying me?"

"Yes! A thousand times yes!" Zoe responds as she nods her head before Peter slides the ring onto her finger. "I love you, Peter Pevensie."

Peter pulls Zoe into another kiss as another round of fireworks go off. Once they pull apart, Peter wraps his arms around her waist which allows Zoe to rest her head on his chest as they watch the fireworks.

The next morning Peter, Zoe, and Susan meet with Aslan to discuss the wedding happening for Peter and Zoe, along with their future in Narnia.

Caspian walks outside to inform them of the fact that everyone has gathered for the wedding. Caspian stops as he sees Peter and Zoe with Aslan before his eyes land on Susan as he takes in her beauty. Caspian decides not to disturb them and goes to leave.

"Your majesty?" Aslan asks as Susan looks over at Caspian sadly. She hadn't realized how close she had gotten with the now king but it happened and it hurt her heart since she knew what was to come after the wedding.

"We are ready. Everyone has assembled," Caspian informs him with a slight bow before walking away.

Peter and Zoe share a smile as they part ways to go get ready for their wedding. Zoe hugs Susan, knowing the girl is having a hard time with the fact that she finally found a boy she likes but she has to leave him. Susan gives her a small smile before helping her to get ready.

Peter is waiting beside Aslan in front of everyone in the castle. Caspian walks Susan up to the front as he holds the crown for Zoe. Lucy throws pink flower petals as she walks towards everyone. A soft harmony begins to play as Edmund escorts Zoe down the aisle. Peter is quick to wipe away a happy tear as he takes in how breathtakingly beautiful Zoe is in her long sleeved, lacy white dress. Edmund hands Zoe off to Peter before standing beside Caspian.

"Do you, Lady Zoe, take High King Peter as your husband for all of eternity?" Aslan asks as he looks over at Zoe, who has a huge smile on her face.

"I do," Zoe answers as she nods her head.

"Do you, High King Peter, take Lady Zoe as your wife for all of eternity?" Aslan asks as he looks over at Peter.

"I do," Peter answers as he smiles at Zoe while also nodding his head.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your Queen," Aslan announces before Peter kisses Zoe, causing everyone to loudly cheer.

Peter looks over at Aslan, who nods before Peter has his siblings follow him to where they stand in order as if they were on their thrones.

"You may join them," Aslan approves as he looks over at Zoe, who makes her way over to stand beside Peter. "To the Fields of War, Queen Zoe, the Brave."

Caspian passes the pillow, holding the crown, to Trumpkin before he picks up a gold crown with white flowers and butterflies before placing it on Zoe's head. The Pevensies turn to face the crowd as Aslan turns to them all.

"Once a King or Queen of Narnia, always a King or Queen. Long live King Peter! Long live Queen Zoe! Long live King Edmund! Long live Queen Susan! Long live Queen Lucy!" Aslan announces as Zoe raises her head high as the crowd repeats the great lion.
