This is lovely, and believable. I loved how you described Aragorn's discomfort with the rich food, the constant attention, and the ever-present guards, yet he tolerated it all.
Much as I enjoy stories about Aragorn escaping from his guards, I cannot quite picture him doing that. I imagine that he respected the people--who had waited for so long to have a king--too much to act that way.
And his thought that once he had an heir, he would be a little freer, was very lovely, and bittersweet. Being a king does come at a price.
I hope you will write more stories!

Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. And yes I agree - Aragorn understands his new people too well to be giving them the slip at the first opportunity …. Thx for your lovely comments!

This is Beautiful.
Wonderful job capturing Aragorn's voice and thoughts. Just got back to reading in the world of LOTR. So glad that this was the first one I glanced at. It just made me realize how much I missed this world. Thank you for this.

Ah, but I can all too easily imagine Aragorn thinking precisely in this way! The King Returned is in no way a private individual, and now belongs to everyone in two kingdoms.
Well thought out.

You are right, for sure. He definitely doesn’t belong to himself anymore - or, as much as he did (since he has never belonged completely to himself) … Thanks for reading!

I am never alone here. And yet, no one knows me.
This is absolutely beautiful and perceptive from beginning to end.

Thank you! :-) I always did think Aragorn might have had a bit of a rough adjustment—it’s so different from his old life …
