Chapter 1
The arrived in Cair Paravel; and the sun was shining, the day was beautiful, and the people were jovial. It seemed all perfect, her future life seemed to be perfect, but it was not going to be like it seemed, for it never was.
People stared at her, whispering, wondering who she was. Little did they know that she is to be the future queen. She gazed at the castle where she will be living, and took a peek at her fiancé who was in front of the group, accepting the warm welcomes of his people.
She was accompanied by a few ladies up to where she will be living until the wedding. It was a lovely room, with a view which would make you appreciate what Narnia has to offer. The marble pillars held sheer, decorative curtains. The cushioned seats by the window were perfect and comfortable. Her bed was fir for a princess, intricate sewing, the finest silk and cotton, and a beautiful bed post holding another set of sheer curtains.
She entered the bathroom and the closet, and found them bare. What brought joy to her was the fact that she'd have to be the one to fill it up. She removed her hat and placed it on one of the seats. She took a seat on the cushion by the window and watched the waves hit the shore, and the sun slowly go down. She had seen this view in her world hundreds of time, day by day, but there was something extremely different with the same scenario in Narnia. It was better here, it was more beautiful.
There was a knock on the door, and Caspian came in along with two other ladies.
"How do you like your chamber?" he asked her charmingly.
"It's lovely. Though I think I'd have to fill up the closet," she said with a smile.
"Everything that must be done will be accomplished within the next months. These are your ladies-in-waiting, Jaspina and Emme. They'd be here to help you."
Each girl stepped forward and gave a lovely bow to Marina. Jaspina is taller with long black hair which she kept tied. Emme was shorter, with hair that looked quite dry. She also kept it tied. She was a very petit girl with a long, swan-like neck.
"I'd have to go now, my lady, matters await me. Tomorrow, after lunch, we'll meet up about the wedding, make yourself at home, for this is your new home," Caspian said, giving her a hug and leaving the room.
Marina was well aware of what ladies-in-waiting do. They merely help her around in doing everything.
By the end of the hour, and three have been cracking up on jokes and stories.
It was time for dinner, but it wasn't to be with anyone, it was to be brought into her chamber.
The food was absolutely delicious, and while she was eating, her two ladies-in-waiting were by her side.
That night, she slept all alone in her beautiful room. This was her new beginning, her new home, her new life.
