AN: I'm admitting now, I have not read the Narnia books, which I will do soon, hopefully. I have only seen the films uncountable amount of times. Hehe I also have no clue how old they were in the films so I'm just going to make it up :) I apologise for any grammar or spelling mistakes. Oh and this is set in the golden age but film verse.
Disclaimer: I don't own any thing to do with Narnia, I only own my OCs.
It was Narnia's golden age. It had been 4 years after the White Witch's death. Peter was now 20, Susan was 19 Lucy was 14 and today was Edmund's 17th birthday. Many people where invited from different places of this world. Many kings and their sons and daughters had been invited. But only one King was of importance to Peter. King John. You see, Peter and King John had arranged for Edmund and John's daughter, Rose, to be married. Peter was to tell Edmund tonight after Edmunds dance/ball. Rose also didn't know of her fate. Rose was 16, 17 in a few months. Which most people would say that was young but John wouldn't. His son Alexander was to take his kingdom and John wanted Rose to be taken care of, then Peter suggested a royal marriage between Edmund and Rose.
"Edmund!" Lucy shouted "Hurry up! Everyone is waiting for you!"
"I have to look my best!" Edmunds voice shouted from the other side of his bedroom door.
"We don't have a million years! Hurry!" Lucy shouted back. The door swung open and Edmund gave Lucy the death stare. Lucy gave a cheeky grin back and walked off; Edmund copied the smile in a mocking way and followed her. Peter, Susan and Lucy went into the hall first and Edmund followed behind them, head held high and walked with a confident stride. Most of the girls sighed at him; one of the ones who didn't was Rose. She thought he was an arrogant child who became king.
Rose sat on her own spinning her knife around. After a while Peter whispered to Edmund to go dance with her, Edmund looked at Rose, she looked beautiful, her hair was black, and it shone in the light, she wasn't skinny but she wasn't fat, she was medium sized. He walked over and coughed to get her attention, as if in slow motion she lifted her head and her bright blue eyes looked up to his brown eyes.
"Yes?" she asked,
"Would you like to dance?" Edmund asked confidently knowing she wouldn't refuse him.
"Not really, but I see I'm going to have to either way." She said sighing and standing up. Edmund was shocked at her rudeness but he ignored it. He led her to the middle of the dance floor and they started dancing, Rose was on purposely trying not to look at him but she kept glancing at him, Edmund was just looking at her wondering why she wouldn't look at him, every other girl in his room, apart from his sisters, was looking at him, why was the only beautiful girl not looking at him? At one point their eyes met and Edmund smiled at her only to have Rose roll her eyes and look away from him again.
"So what's your name?" Edmund asked
"Princess Rose." She said with a smile, it was the first time he had seen her smile, it just made her even more beautiful.
"How old are you?" he asked
"Did you know it's rude to ask a woman her age?"
"Yes I did."
"Why did you just ask then?"
"Because you are not a woman."
"Excuse me?"
"I mean, you are not a woman yet." Edmund said looking around, Rose raised her eyebrows at him "You know what I meant Rose!" Edmund half shouted
"I really don't." Rose said
"Well it's not my fault you're thick!" Edmund couldn't help but shout loudly. They didn't notice but the music had stopped and everyone was looking at them.
"Well, if I'm thick what does that make you?" Rose shouted back
"Incredibly smart!" Edmund said smugly
"Yeah, sure, NOT!"
"Yes I am!"
"Not!"
"How would you know?" Edmund shouted
"'Cause, er," Rose just sighed and left, Edmund did the same and left through a different door. Everyone turned their heads towards Peter who smiled awkwardly, and said the party had finished, everyone slowly left while grumbling that the party had only last a few hours. Once everyone had gone Peter sidestepped out of the room and walked to Edmunds room to find him lying on his bed face down.
"Ed always has his way with the girls," Peter said laughing. Edmund just mumbled into his pillow, "Ed, I need a serious word with you." Peter said, Edmund got up slowly and faced his brother.
"What?" He said annoyed,
"You know that girl you were just with?" Peter said
"Yes." Edmund said
"Well..."
"Well what?"
"You are engaged to her."
"WHAT!"
