| Hello, Mely- it's that same JCF girl, come to haunt you again...anyhow, lovely story- so typical of you to mess with our heartstrings in the midst of your plots. ^^ Nice work. | |

| Glad to see an update on this one: a very interesting premise for an Eomer-Lothiriel story. Given where you have taken both of them, it's hard to see a happy ending coming out of it. You have Faramir expressing the problem beautifully. Dishonourable behaviour on both sides, though much worse on Lothiriel's at this point. Why on earth is someone like Imrahil going along with it? It seems needlessly sadistic to make Eomer think he's going to be killed, when Imrahil knows perfectly well his daughter is alive and well. Or does he, at that point? cheers, Maya | |

| Ooh, go Faramir! He is so right in what he says to Lothiriel. It's hard for me to believe that these two will be able to make a go of marriage when they're both so thoughtless and self-centered. | |

| Oh My! I'm interested in knowing how you will get out of this one. Honest mistake meets vengeful brat....it does not auger well. If you stay relatively true to canon, then I'm hoping that you have something interesting up your mysterious sleeve as I do not believe that Eomer would accept a "veiled" wife as a fit punishment knowing that such a bride would be "Queen" of his people. I'm hoping that somehow Eomer will teach the "lady" the depth that vengence can go..... Maybe..... ok just a thought...and maybe Im being pre-emptive....maybe Eomer will accept a boat ride...we know how dangerous boats can be....maybe she will believe that he has died and will desire it be otherwise...maybe they will cancel out each others baser natures... Whatever you decide to do you can not allow a "King" to lose face to such a degree (that goes for Aragorn "King Elessar" as well - what "Vengence" will he require after the trick played upon his people and family as well) I think the Lady has a number of people to whom she owes a great apology to. I can't begin to see how she will repay such a debt without losing face...love does conquer all (between those in love) it doesnt sooth those that are not the loved ones...she has certainly hurt many more people, and I do not see how she can expect people to accept her as a "Queen" when she certainly doesn't behave like she should be one. I wish you luck and look forward to seeing how you will handle the interesting situation you have created. purrlin :) | |

| After reading the whole story today I'm quite taken with it. Very well written! After the nice beginning I had never expected such a turn! Eomer may have judged too rashly, but at least he had some reason to believe what he saw with his own eyes. And he has acted as the honourable king he is after he learned the truth. Lothiriel is another matter. Honestly, I can't understand Imrahil - he should never have allowed this, let alone helped his daughter! And I hope very much he will get a severe lecture from Aragorn after this. Lothiriels faked death cut not only deeply in Eomers heart, but in the hearts of so many others as well. This is neither honourable nor fair at all! If I were Eomer, I couldn't trust her after this, and I don't think Lothiriel deserves this man after all. Spoiled little brat! Please update soon, I can't wait to know how this will continue! | |

| I don't know. Loved the chapter as usual, but this plan of Lothiriel's is a lot to forgive. I hope Eomer understands but I feel it will knock their courtship back months. Eokat | |

| I do so agree with Faramir. This sort of worked as a scheme in Much Ado, but then Shakespeare didn't bother much with reality - and I always thought it was a really horrible thing to do to someone. Especially here, as it's not an impulse, but has lasted over however long it takes to get back and forth to Dol Amroth three times. Eomer behaved beautifully. Imrahil would have behaved beautifully had he not known that Lothiriel was sitting in her room doing her hair. Lothiriel - spoilt brat merely begins to describe her. Faramir is quite right. In an argument over trust, she has proved herself to be untrustworthy. (And, come to that, selfish and unreliable. She should never have run away in the first place. Perhaps Eomer should dump her and marry the maid - Mithlomi? - and Lothiriel could be left to learn from her mistakes!) | |
