Awesome. Arwen did exactly what I would have done; sent the witch back to her home until further notice. She should be left there forever.

Author Reply: And hello again!
I was tempted to let Eowyn have her way, but then decided to send her home instead ;-) And the last chapter will come back to Wilwarin briefly to tie up that loose thread.

This is excellent! I am eagerly awaiting the next chapter, and I hope your back feels better soon...

Author Reply: Thanks, my back is slowly getting better. I've started writing again, but I have to be careful that I don't overdo it. Pleased to hear you like the story!

Ha! Wilwarin got her comeuppance. That scene made me smile. "But I'm not dressed for riding". Well, she better get dressed soon! Or, maybe not. I would like to see her in the midden. I love that Arwen supports Eowyn in this.

So, Lothiriel only gets whisked away to Minas Tirith, then there is hope that she can convince her father that this marriage is the right thing to do. And Eomer is not too far behind. I think Lothiriel has to convince her father. I don't think he believes Eomer is not worthy of her, I think his worry is, is she capable of being a queen with her disability? I'm curious how she will show to her father that she is up to the job.

Author Reply: No, I don't think that Wilwarin will change into a riding dress before heading out. She's got a powerful motivator after her!

And I agree about Imrahil's motives and worries. In a way both men are quite alike with their strong urge to protect Lothiriel. Hopefully by the end of the story they can resolve their differences. But that's a while yet...

I finally decided to emerge from my lurking state and tell you how much I love your story. As stated before, I too am no Éomer/Lothiriel/romance interessent but I cannot resist a well written story. A real pleasure!
Nebenbei bemerkt denke ich, daß Deine Muttersprache Deutsch ist(so wie die meine) und das ist das Bemerkenswerteste. Dein Englisch ist makellos, soweit ich es beurteilen kann.
Alles Gute für Deinen Rücken!

Many thanks,

Irene



Author Reply: Welcome! It's always nice to entice another lurker into the open ;-) I'm pleased to hear you like my story and thanks for what you said about my English. I'm Swiss in fact and yes, my native tongue is German.

Danke für die guten Wünsche und liebe Grüsse nach Norden!

Excellent! A most wonderous addition to your illustrious story! I'm so sorry about your back! I hope it feels better soon, I'll say a prayer for you! Good Night!

Author Reply: Wow, 'illustrious story' - that sounds very grand ;-) I'm recovering slowly, thank you!

Hello,
I am reading stories on this website for a few months now, but yours is absolutely the best I have read so far. It's really well written and you just can feel the love in the air. I hope you recover soon and write another great chapter to this amazing story.

Author Reply: Thank you! I'm having quite a lot of fun with these two, so that probably shows. I still have to take it easy, so I'm afraid it might be a while until the next chapter. Thanks for your review!

Not often one meets a dung beetle who masquerades as a butterfly; but I believe Eowyn had the right idea--see the woman back to the midden where she belongs. And to have Arwen's quiet disregard turned toward her--that would be almost insufferable.

But I don't feel particularly sorry for the creature.

At least Imrahil has agreed to a cooling off period, and may be listening to his daughter by the time it's up. Still waiting for the Haradri to act, of course. Be interesting to see how Eomer reacts to that.

Author Reply: So now she's a dung beetle - how true! At least we've seen the last of her and Eowyn has shown nice, ladylike restraint by not carrying through her threat.

Poor Imrahil will need some time to get used to the idea of his little girl growing up so rapidly. But like you said, the Haradrim are still out there, waiting.

I love the way you handled Wilwarin's fall from grace. I never imaged Éowyn and Arwen delivering the final blows. Though I can see Éowyn defending her brother by throwing Wilwarin in the midden and I can understand Arwen feeling that what Wilwarin did would be an outrage and she wouldn't want her around to spread any more poison in her court. I am glad that Éomer confronted her publicly so that she couldn't wiggle out of it or lie about what had happened, too many witnesses watched and listened to the whole thing. Too often people of Wilwarin's ilk don't weigh the consequences of their behavior if things go wrong.

Poor Imrahil he doesn't want to lose his precious baby girl. They think they are above the rules. I know he feels responsible for her blindness and just wants to protect her. I feel fate is going to show he can't protect completely no matter how hard he tries.

Author Reply: Wilwarin probably just thought she would be able to lie her way out of any situation, especially as there were no witnesses to her conversation with Lothiriel. Well, that's not so easy to do with Eomer cornering you! And I can see Eowyn taking a very dim view of somebody like that trying to trap her brother. Still, Wilwarin might mend her ways one day.

And you're spot on with Imrahil of course.

I usually don't read romances, nor Eomer stories, but this--this is certainly an excellent story.
Wilwarin certainly got what she deserved--I could barely stand her after she lied. If I were Eowyn, she probably would already be in the midden.
I look forward to more.

Author Reply: Yes, I'm sure Eowyn was tempted! But maybe marriage has mellowed her already ;-) I'm pleased to hear you like the story, thanks for taking the time to leave a review.

Yeah for Eomer and Eowyn for dismissing the dishonorable Wilwarin.

Now I'm recalling the villain's thoughts about where Eomer's weakspot lay and thinking the ride back to Minas Tirith might not go as smoothly as Imrahil expects. That should provide a chance for both Lothiriel and Eomer to show their quality.

Author Reply: Hmm, you are of course right to remember the villain's thoughts. However, he's the patient sort. Why go hunting for your prey when it will just walk into your den eventually? He's had plenty of time to get ready now...
