A/N: I know I said I wouldn't update until I got your opinion but I thought the last chapter didn't say too much, so read and review? pretty please?

Chapter 2: "The King's Tent."

(Edmund's POV)

I slowly opened my eyes and felt a sharp pain in the back of my head, I grown. I blinked a few times to get used to the light and I looked around.

I was in what looked like a camp situated in a clearing. Men were talking animatedly to each other sitting in the ground, sharpening their swords or battle-axes, or simply walking, all with armors on.

«Wait, that man has hooves, wait what? » I was loosing it, I was completely crazy, but then I remembered and I realized they weren't men, well not most of them, they were creatures, fauns, centaurs, minotaurs and dwarfs were one of them.

Quickly I got up and in the hurry I almost lost my balance and fell to the ground as my head started hurting.

«Where the hell am I? What happened? I was with the girls and Peter hearing the trees but then? Everything is black. » I tried to think harder but then fear run through me «My siblings, where are they? » I looked around but there wasn't any sign of them, so I started to panic and my head started to pound. «What if something happened to them? Oh, no» I felt a horrible feeling in my stomach and I instantly got up.

Suddenly I heard heavy hoofs against the ground and I turned around. A centaur was galloping, coming in my direction, so I stand still, waiting for him. I couldn't help the nasty look I threw him; after all I was Edmund the Just, right? I'm not supposed to judge anyone in advance, but hey, I'm not in my best mood.

As he was coming closer I could see him better. He was tall and with piercing blue eyes, his skin was pale, his features sharp, and his hair was tied up in a low pony tail. He had his armor on.

Finally he was in front of me. He stared at me and the bowed.

-Your majesty- he said with a deep voice.

-Who are you? - I questioned him.

-My name is Diácano, your majesty, I'm King Erasmus captain's army. Welcome back-. He greeted.

I looked him in the eyes. He seemed to be nice.-Nice to meet you Diácano, but do you know where my siblings are? – I asked him so respectful that Susan would be very proud of me. That thought make me smile.

-Yes your majesty, they are with the king- he answer and then with a smile he add, - safe.

I nod with relieve and gratitude and asked him- Would you care to take me with them?

-Of course your majesty- and with bow he lead the way.

We walked beside a river where some creatures and men were drinking water or washing their faces, or in some occasions men watching with desiring eyes to the dryads while they batted their eyelashes to them. I chuckled; the dryads could play dirty tricks on men, I know it for own experience.

They all bowed as I walk beside them making me feel uncomfortable. I never was one manners or titles, it really embarrassed me, and when I am embarrassed it is inevitable the blush that creep my cheeks, and that makes me moody.

I tried to smile to them until we FINALLY, finally reach a tend. Diácano step in first and I followed.

As I stepped in my vision became blurry when something threw it self at me, and a pair of arms wrapped around my torso and another pair around my neck. I immediately tensed but then I heard a too familiar voice.

-Susan, Lucy! Let him breath! - Peter said laughing.

I've never known what to do in this situations, I wasn't too affectionate. But I awkwardly hugged them back happy they were okay.

-Edmund, I'm so happy you're alright! - said Susan letting me go as well as Lucy.

-Edmund I thought you were dead when I saw you lying in the ground with that blow on your head. Are you alright? – Lucy asked with concern.

But as soon as she said that my head started aching again. Argh, it really hearts.

-Ah, I'm alright Lucy, don't worry about me- I said forcing a smile. Was I going to have to smiles all the time today? But as truthful I thought my smile was, apparently I couldn't lie to Peter because he arch an eyebrow a made threw me a sarcastic smile. Git.

-You really sacred us- he said patting my back and with a serious tone, I knew he was telling the truth. Aww, look who is the emotional one here.

-I know Pete, you can't live without me- I said jokingly. He rolled his eyes at me and then I heard a chuckle and I turned around.

I guess we weren't alone. There was a man, of about thirty years, beard and short brown hair, he was muscular and was wearing silver armor with a bright red lion on the chest, attached to his hip there was a belt with a sword on it. He was standing behind a table cover in parchments.

He walked around the table and bowed at me.

-Your Majesty, it's a pleasure to meet you; I'm Erasmus King of Narnia- he said with a gentle smile shaking my hand.

Well this was new last time I was here narnians didn't shake hands. Anyways I shook his hand and said:

-The pleasure it's all mine.

-I'm happy to see you got back to consciousness, and I apologize for the blow one of my men gave you- he said looking out of the corner of his eye with a mix of nervousness and compassion.

I followed his gaze and I realized that in one corner of the tend there was a faun in bronze armor and with a bludgeon on his hand. First I thought he was ill 'cause he was shaking uncontrollably, but then I saw the look on his face while he looked at me. There was fear on it. He was quivering with fear. He was afraid… of me? Really? Do I look that bad? Why?

I looked again at him but this time I look his hand and it hit me. He was the one who hit me. He hit me with bludgeon, that little… I close my hand in a fit as I through daggers at him with my eyes. How dare he? He hit me in the head with a bludgeon. He hit me, a King, for Alan's sake!

As I continued to stared at him, he suck on his breath. I swallowed hard and try to take all the anger out of me. I looked back at the King and said to him with a hard voice:

-Well, no harm has been done, I'm alright.

-Perfect!- he said clapping his hands and with a huge smile- Diácano, Barbra you can go.- he ordered to the centaur an the faun.- Seriously Barbra stop quivering-he said looking at the poor faun-, didn't you hear what King Edmund said? You should be grateful you're still alive. Now go take a drink my friend. - He said giving him a wink and patting his back with a warm smile.

The centaur and the faun bowed to us and they got out of the tend. As soon as they were out, Susan slapped hard the back of my head, right were that faun had hit me.

-Ouch! Susan! What the hell? What was that for? - I said as I grabbed my aching head and gave her a death glare.

-Oh, don't look at me like that Edmund Pevensie, don't give me that look! And you know too well why I did that! – She said hysterically, while my adorable siblings were hauling with laughter and King Erasmus was failing hard at trying to hide his smile.

-Well, I obviously don't know! Other wise I wouldn't be asking! - I retorted angrily still holding my head.

-How dare you treated that poor faun like that? Didn't you see his face? He was terrified! Where are your manners? You are supposed to be a King! The Just King! And let me tell you're not doing well your job 'cause you weren't just to him! What would mom think of this? - she said angrily crossing her arms.

-But he hit me! - I said offended. Is she crazy or what?

-Come on Ed just apologize or she won't shut up- said Peter laughing so hard that he was getting red. I repeat. Git.

-OK! I'm sorry! Happy? - I shouted at her.

-Very- she said with and smile a patting my cheek.

Yes, she really is crazy. She and her gentle manners…
