There are 2 cases I think would happen:
1. Denethor would submit to the kingship of Aragorn and remain as his Steward until his own death (maybe after Aragorn's "healing"). Aragorn showed manifestations of his kingship during the war which are strong enough to disregard. It would as if tell Denethor "Do you think I would (and can) do this if I were not the king?" Then Denethor would admit that Aragorn is the king... a happy ending.
OR...
2. Denethor would still harden his heart and refuse to submit to Aragorn.
a. He will leave Gondor and go somewhere else (this one I doubt).
b. He will still burn himself on a pyre or commit any other form of suicide just so he would not be "under" Aragorn's rule.
c. The people of Gondor themselves will kill him (kinda brutal, however...so I also doubt it).
Do I make sense? Or did cheering practice make me stupid? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
