Disclaimer: i own NOTHING! not even SKANDAR! :(
Every day, Caspian would spend his time with Lilliandil. On most days, she would be planning the wedding, while he dealt with the Council and ruling the rest of Narnia. The wedding was in two months, so there were a lot of preparations to be done. Caspian was absolutely happy.
But at night, Caspian himself would say otherwise. When he would try to fall asleep, he always wondered if he was making the right choice with Lilliandil. And always, he concluded that he was. But there were times when he questioned himself with 'what ifs'. What if Susan were to come back and he was already married? What if she somehow popped in during the wedding by Aslan's will? There were so many questions that would go through his head; he didn't know what to do. And there were times where he would never finish his own argument. But that was because he fell asleep. And when he fell asleep, he would either see her in pain, dead, or worse: married to someone else. When he woke up, his vision was always blurred. During the day, he would look happy. Yet deep down, no one ever knew about his dreams and his heart just screamed in pain every single time. She was haunting him once more.
One day, Lilliandil and Caspian were sitting on a marble bench, talking. They had been there for hours, taking their time because soon there would barely be any. Lilliandil had told Caspian that her sister, Ryliza, had come for the wedding, even though she was a few months early. But at the moment, and Lilliandil was concerned about this, Ryliza was catching the hearts of random guards with the flip of her silvery blonde hair. Caspian laughed at the thought of his guards falling head over heels for a girl they barely knew. "Wait, wasn't that what- never mind." Caspian thought.
As I was saying, the couple was talking about anything possible. Yet somehow, the subject fell upon the High Queen of Old.
"What was she like? Queen Susan, I mean."
"She was many things. She was gentle, kind, brave, logical, and beautiful as the stories have told." he said sadly smiling.
"How did you two meet?"
"Well, I was actually fighting Peter because he was about to kill a Minotaur. At the time, we did not know each other. As he was about to hit me with a rock, but Lucy stopped him. Seconds later, I saw the Kings and Queens of Old standing before me. I took a moment to look at them all, taking a little longer than I should have on Queen Susan."
"Did she love you back?"
"I do not know. She had never spoken of it. But I think she did." he replied, and they both smiled. It was getting dark, and Lilliandil was starting to shine. But somewhere else in the castle, actually the North Tower, Ryliza was also shining.
"Come. It is getting late." and with that, Lilliandil got up and went into the castle. Caspian lingered behind, wondering if Susan did love him back. But he abandoned the thought and went to dinner. And when dinner finished, he went back to his room.
When he fell asleep, Caspian dreamt of the kiss they had shared. She had looked so beautiful that day. Her dark brown hair cascaded onto her bare pale shoulders. The blue dress he chose for her looked absolutely stunning, looking beyond stunning when she wore it. Her blue eyes shined brightly at him, really matching the dress. Her hand was soft against his neck, making his skin tingle. Her full lips were smooth and soft against his. The smell of freshly bloomed roses filled his nostrils, the scent absolutely leaving him breathless. Their lips moved together, but ended too soon. He pulled her in for a tight embrace, never wanting to let her go. He pressed his lips to her shoulder, as her fingers combed through his hair. Eventually he did and he looked into her ocean blue eyes. He saw pain and sadness, but he also saw a gleam of hope. And he watched them fade away from Narnia. He watched as she left Narnia with his heart.
Caspian woke up blurry-eyed to the sunrise. His heart ached for the one he would never see again.
