(A/N- Hey guys! Here's chapter 4. If you have any suggestions or comments or questions or whatever, I'd be happy to hear them! Please follow and favorite!)

We reach the doors, just as the announcement that the Penvencies had arrived was over. They should just now be reaching the ball room floor. I take a deep breath, preparing to enter.

"It's glowing again." Aslan warned. "You need to calm down."

Indeed it was. It glows gold whenever I'm nervous, or scared, or feeling very aggressive. And I was definitely feeling nervous and honestly a bit scared. This was when everyone found out who I truly was. I hadn't been to a ball since I was a little girl, and I look very different now. They were going to announce who I was and then everyone would know. This was it.

"I'm sorry. I'm trying, I really am." I say, taking steady breaths.

"Ready?" He asked.

"Ready as I'll ever be." I replied.

The doors opened as if on cue and we stepped through, stopping at the top of the brilliant gold staircase. A hushed silence swept through the crowd as they stared at us. I tried not to look at all the eyes on me. I looked at the little orchestra that had stopped playing for our entrance. I saw the long buffet table, covered in a golden cloth, most likely made out of silk. I looked at the cream colored walls and silver floor, which reflected the orange, red, and soft pink light from the setting sun that was coming through the windows that stretched from the floor to the ceiling.

"Please welcome, Aslan, the Great Lion, and the Great Daughter of the Emperor Beyond the Sea, Isabel." The announcer, well, announced. That was his job after all! It was quiet for a second, then people started to clap, but I could see they were whispering. We descended down the stairs and the clapping stopped as people went back to what they were doing before.

Aslan headed off to talk with others as I headed over to the Pevencies. I really didn't want to go and talk to them about it. Especially not here and now, but I knew it was what I had to do. Although they could have helped by not looking at me like I was Aslan's daughter. Oh, wait. I am. But they still could've tried to hide their shock.

I reached them and said the only thing that came to mind. "Hi." They remained silent.

Then Peter spoke. "So, you're Aslan's daughter, huh?"

"Yea, I guess I am. Just, please don't let that change the way you think of me. I'm going to hate going into town and having people… bow to me… and always acting like little angels when they see me walk by. I honestly wish someone will yell at me, or cuss me out. To see a little drama in the towns or something. The way they always have." I end up pouring just a little bit of my heart out, not meaning to. Oops!

"It's ok, it happens to me a lot, but you'll get used to it. And don't worry, we won't." Lucy says, comforting me. They all nod.

"Thanks. Well, now, that I showed up, I have to leave. Oh, and don't tell my dad." I say, turning around. I'm stopped dead in my tracks.

"Going somewhere?" Aslan asked me, raising his eyebrow, with a slight smile on his face.

"Nope, nowhere. No place at all. Actually going to get some food. Yea, that's where I'm going." I said either shaking or nodding my head violently the whole time. I gave him the sweetest smile possible.

Then I walked over to the food table with my head down, got a small plate, filled it, and walked back over to the four siblings.

"Guess I'm staying." I said. They just started laughing at me. "This is so not a laughing matter!" I said with fake properness. I tried not to laugh, but ended up failing miserably. I started laughing with them until we got dirty looks from all the adults. I swear they all lose their sense of humor when they get old.

We talked and laughed a bit, all of us, including me, forgetting about my title. Then, Aslan gave a speech. One that I really wasn't listening to. Until my named was mentioned. Then I listened to his every word. By the time he was done speaking, I was beyond disbelief, to the point that I was speechless.

Not only was this ball to finally tell the kingdom who I was, but it was also to find me a suitor!
