After the children finished their beverages, they thought about what Father Christmas said to each of them. It still sounded strange to them that they'll be rulers of Narnia. Kings and queens to be exact. They were speechless for a while. At last, Leah broke the silence.

"Do you think we really fit to be kings and queens of Narnia?"

"I don't know..... I feel like I've been given the most responsibly......... King Peter the Magnificent....... Who would thought I'd be the magnificent king?" He laughed.

"Not to mention that I'd have to rule alongside of Edmond if we want this kingdom to have peace and prosperity." Leah said."Wisdom and justice seems pretty important in this kingdom. It must be in it's most crucial time to be in need of some just and wise rulers."

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement of what Leah said. It seems to them that everyone have a special role to play. And if one is without the other, the kingdom would fall. After a minute of silence, Peter spoke up.

"Anyways. Now we have to focus on finding Aslan and free Lucy."

"Leah could bring us to the White Witch and we can just battle her there. Leah have a magical wand remember?" Edmond suggested but was soon turned down by Leah.

"No we can't. Sorry Edmond. Remember what Father Christmas said? He doesn't want me to misuse the wand. He doesn't want me to bring destruction upon Narnia. For now it's best we find Aslan first before we plan on saving Lucy. That'll be the best route to me."

As the leader and the high king, Peter agreed with Leah's decision.

"She's right. We're here to save Narnia, not to bring it down. Let's get going so we can find Aslan. The less we talk, the faster we are to get to Aslan. And the more time we will buy for Lucy."

So the children set off again, with new hopes in their chests rising. After a while, Leah felt the change in the weather. She somehow felt the fur coat she had on her was becoming too hot to wear. So she took it off and left it behind. The others seems to notice the change too. For they had done the same as Leah. Pretty soon, they had stepped into a total new world with green all around them. Willow trees swayed back and forth, as if they're bowing down to their future kings and queens. The sky was the most beautiful kind of blue you've ever seen, and the sun shined ever so brightly on them. The children had kicked off of their shoes as they walked on the softness of the grass. The blisters on their feet are disappearing. New hopes and joy filled their chests as they danced their trouble away. That is, until they heard a voice kind yet filled with authority called to them from somewhere deep in the green forest. The children ran toward the sound and soon found themselves face to face with a lion. Funny enough. The lion neither attacked nor groweled at the children. The lion had a regal atmosphere about him. Without thinking, the children bowed to him.

"Arise, King Peter the Magnificent, Queen Susan the Gentle, King Edmond the Just, and Queen Leah the Wise." His gentle voice reflected his power as the most fierce warrior of them all. The children rose as they're filled with awe and adoration for the beast.

"Welcome to the land of Narnia, my children." His voice was filled with love. "Follow me, you must be exhausted. Allow me to escort you to my camp so you can freshen up."

The children did as they were told. They were mesmerized by the lion's kindness. But that was when Leah, Queen Leah the Wise, had realized that this great but gentle beast, is Aslan himself.

After what seems like a short period of time, they had arrived at the camp. But what surprised them more was that creatures of all kinds were bowing down to them. There were fauns, centaurs, Gyphons, and more creatures that the children don't know the name of.

All the creature were chanting their names.

"All hail to Aslan, all hail to King Peter the Magnificent, all hail Queen Susan the Gentle, all hail King Edmond the Just, all hail Queen Leah the Wise!"

The chanting came to a stop as Aslan spoke.

"Would someone kindly show our royal gusts places they'll use to freshen themselves up?"

Almost immediately, two nymphs and two centaurs showed up.

"We will Aslan. Please let us escort the majesties." They said. So each one of the children were led into their perspective tents as they relaxed and getting themselves presentable to the public. They had been filthy and unapproachable during the trip.

Leah and her nymph maid Miriam, whom she just made aquatinticed with, had chatted away as Miriam took great care of her. She had given Leah the most relaxing bath she had ever experienced. She had picked out an outfit for Leah as Leah put it on herself. Narnian clothing won't make you itchy or uncomfortable. They also look fashionable. Pretty soon, Leah was ready and presentable. She had on her a rouge colored dress with corset that gently wrapped around her small waist. It gave her a womanly figure without suffocating her. The sleeves of her dress were long and flowy, it swayed with every movement she makes. Her soft, waist length hair was let loose around her shoulders. She was beautiful, but the royal attire had brought out her beauty more than ever.

When Edmond stepped out of his tent, Leah gasped in surprise. She had never noticed Edmond looked so good. He had on him a medival styled shirt with a pair of leggings that showed off his muscular legs. He also had a flowing red cape behind him. His sword tucked snugly next to his waist.

Leah blushed as she saw Edmond made his way toward her. She was even more flustered when Edmond complimented how good she looked.

"Edmond! I'm always the same Leah you know. I just look different. Don't make it weird......" She trailed off as she tried hard to hide the hint of blush from her face. Edmond smiled and took her hand.

"Shall we join the others?"

Leah nodded her head as both of them reunited with the other two Pevensies. She was happy, she know she'll save the kingdom from it's troubles. She had hope.
