Humility
“I doubt anyone but the Naiads, mermaids, and fish themselves can out do Susan when it comes to swimming.” She laughed softly. “It’s like she’s a Naiad herself, trapped in a human form.”
After several long moments of silence, the girl shook her head. “You’ve got to forgive yourself at some point, Edmund. There was nothing you could do to stop it. Everything that you’ve been through, everything you did, was fated. You couldn’t have prevented it anymore than I could have prevented the slaughter of my village. We, as mere mortals, cannot fight prophecy. I wish, for your sake, that I could have seen it differently. That my visions would have been different. I never meant for what I saw to cause you, your brother, or yours sisters harm. I’d take it all back if I could. But that isn’t in my power, nor in yours. Not even in Aslan’s.”

Edmund bit his bottom lip as he stared down. For most people, he had forgiven himself. The past was not a subject he'd usually bring hence his siblings and most of the Kingdom believed in his sad smiles and grave attitude. In fact, not many people could see him so well like Ellie did, and that made him feel... Strange. It was somewhat invasive, but he couldn't bring himself to feel mad at her. Instead, it was a new sensation, like he could finally speak his mind and receive no judgement in return.
"I will forgive myself eventually. I promise. But I guess regretting it is a way of doing it. It reminds me that I have changed and that I now sit on a throne I helped my siblings conquer. Thinking about my betrayal reminds me of our victory. I wish it had been done differently, that's all."
