In My Father's Shadow

"Eldarion, my son. You are soon to be king and with that comes a heavy burden. Are you ready?"
I kept my eyes focused ahead and thought carefully before answering. "You have taught me all that there is to know about being a king, Father," I said slowly, "but I still do not know if I am ready." I looked at him. "And you will not be there to guide me."
