I definitely like the new chapter. I'm curious to see how long it will take Eomer to come out of his happy fog, and realise that all is not as he had hoped, in his new marriage. I'm also wondering how long it will be before Lothiriel asks or confronts him on his (apparently) dual personality. I'm eagerly looking forward to the next update.

Don't worry about a chapter not going as "planed" it is a very good story. Worrying too much i think hinder s any writer's process, and adds to the insanity. Razz smiley face

Another fine chapter. And yes, I do enjoy a few good confrontations. Smile smiley face Keep up the good work, and as always, update as soon as possible.

Oh, I am enjoying this story. You are doing an excellent job. I'm really liking the way you slowly build the inter-character tension. Looking forward to the next chapter!

Wonderful story! I like the different viewpoint! I also REALLY enjoy the fact that you update quickly! I have stories that I have marked to watch that haven't been updated in a year. Keep it up...I'm anxious to see how this all works out! Smile smiley face

This is a wonderful story! I love how you've made it realistic in that she's not head over heels in love with him just because he's her husband. It's a realistic approach to an arranged political marriage and I like how you made Lothiriel a woman with a mind of her own. And the quick updates are wonderful, as others have mentioned. I hate waiting for long periods of time for updates to stories I enjoy! Also, your writing is wonderful. I'm looking forward to the next chapter. Smile smiley face

ahh, the truth finally comes out. i was a bit surprised with characterisation (in a good way). i had expected eomer to be a bit more angry, almost violent if you will (but not abusive, if you know what i mean). but you did shape up the chapter nicely, and the more i think about it, the quiet/resentful/disappointed eomer fits more into the character you've shaped. another beautiful chapter. excellent work, and as always, update soon.

Oh wow. I was wondering how you'd handle Eomer finding out that Lothiriel doesn't love him. I like the way you did it! Having her point out that they didn't even talk together before they were married was a very good touch. It brings the honest emotion to the fore. I'm really looking forward to the next chapter. Keep up the good work! Wave smiley face You rock smiley face

This is a wonderfully unique take on Eomer and Lotheriel. I feel so sorry for both of them. It's hard loving someone who doesn't feel the same for you, and it's equally as difficult to be around someone whose affections you don't return. Even when he is gorgeous... People always have them falling in love at first sight or something like that. I like that you took a different route. It makes them so much more believable. I'll be looking forward to your next chapter.
