Then I am honoured even more. But you're right... the loss of your home doesn't make you any less of a king. [ her smile softens a touch. ] I would know... my brothers are both still kings, even though the land they ruled was the same. That Robb was our king before doesn't change the fact that Jon is king, now, too. Once you are named... you cannot be unnamed.

[ Starting from a young age, when he'd been spoiled and bratty, just overall unpleasant. He had never been terribly evil, but he could only have gotten worse, if he hadn't been shown the error of his ways. He is no less conscious of his actions than he was back then, when he'd been pretty certain that he ruined everything for himself, his family, and an entire kingdom.
It's certainly interesting to note, that now she has two brothers for kings, but he picks up the past tense that she uses when she calls Robb king. Not that he would pry. ]
'Once a king and queen of Narnia, always a king and queen of Narnia.' Someone I know has told us that once. [ And there is never a time, when Edmund does not think of Aslan, and Narnia, and the kingdom Edmund no longer has.
In any case, ] Narnia is a kingdom with four thrones. My siblings and I sit on them, by the grace of Aslan — two kings and two queens, all of us unmarried, none of us interested in marrying each other at all. [ he tacks on, with a small smile of his own, because he already knows what might go through people's heads. ]

That your world may no longer exist... it doesn't make who you are now any less real.
[ even though Winterfell is gone... she is still Lady Stark, the Lady of Winterfell. she is still a wolf. she falls silent to listen to Edmund's explanation, wondering briefly who this Aslan is that he speaks of, for who could be spoken of with such respect by someone who is already a king?
but the last remark gets a small laugh from her. ] Do people really think that? [ she sighs, even as a smile lingers on her lips. ] It used to be a practice for some great houses, back in Westeros, to marry close kin... but never in the North.
[ she pauses. ] Was it a requirement? For all of you to remain unmarried? Would you not have children to carry on your name and legacy?
no subject
[ But their circumstances were special, in a sense. Edmund has no way of explaining it, other than that they were tasked to rule together. ]
Though I'm more than certain that only one of us has real wish to. [ His smile is full of good-natured humor, sheepish. ] My elder sister, Susan, had suitors lined up at her feet from lands even beyond the Eastern Ocean, though she'd been keen on a prince from the southern lands. The two of us traveled south in order to meet him, and see if marriage would be suitable for them.
no subject
[ it seems like an interesting tale, and it's the first time Edmund has spoken of his siblings by name, something that catches her attention even more. ]
What happened once you reached the south?
no subject
[ Edmund has learned to trust his gut, when it comes to people, and it often pays off. ]
You know, suitors — when they step into your territory, they are respectful and kind, they show the very best of themselves in order to win another's affection. It's typical, of course, to want something so terribly that you would do anything to get it, including pretending to be something you are not.
Though I find that you see a man as he truly is, once you are in his home, playing by his rules. As much as the prince wanted my sister, [ And Edmund has real doubts that he wanted her that badly to begin with; perhaps he'd been blinded by her beauty, but nothing more ] he wanted our kingdom even more.
