A/N: Well I hope you like this one. I really hope it will hold you over for the next two weeks. Now that it's summer, whenever I'm home or can get access to a computer you will get an update. I promise because I don't have to do much studying (I still got some summer assignments but it's not much.) Reviews are love!
Genny
Chapter 10 Peter's POV
"I don't think that this is really much of a threat." One of the Narnians' said. After Edmund and Genny's fight we all came inside to discuss things some more. Edmund, Caspian, and I were seated on the platform in our thrones while Genny and Hayley-ann sat next to Edmund and I in smaller thrones because they were not royalty…yet. Zane, Adam, and Elizabeth were on seats just off the platform showing that they were still important.
"Aslan said that we should worry about it so I say we do." Another Narnian said. I sighed.
"The Tetians are prepared for war. That's all they want. They are trained for this. They take their children from the age of eight and start to train them for war. They are washed from any humanity. They are cruel vicious people and you need to watch out for them." Genny said. I couldn't believe that she knew about them so much without knowing that they were real.
"I've read what Lady Gennivieve has written about them. They give no mercy and they fight hard." Elizabeth said speaking up. I swore it was the first time I heard her speak. Edmund looked just as shocked as I felt. Caspian looked shocked but awe struck.
"Then I guess we will have to be extra careful now, won't we?" The first Narnian said. I looked out the window and saw that the sun was setting.
"Everyone, we should call it a day and meet back here tomorrow." I suggested. Everyone nodded and started to talk to each other as they meandered out of the room. I sighed again and felt someone grab my right hand. I looked and saw Genny staring at me. I read the worry in her eyes but I also saw something else. It was the warrior that she was. She was meant to be doing this. I knew that I wouldn't be able to stop her from fighting in this war. She was going to be fighting right along with me.
"Peter, relax a little. I know this is stressful but you need to relax." She said. She grabbed my hand and pulled me into a standing position.
"Is it dinner time yet?" Edmund asked. We all laughed and I nodded. We all made our way to the dinning hall. We walked in and saw that everyone was there and waiting for us. WE all took our seats quickly. I was at the head of the table with Edmund on my right and Genny on my left. Next to Edmund was Hayley-ann and then Caspian next to Genny. Susan sat next to Caspian and Lucy next to Hayley-ann.
"High King Peter, I hope that everything is okay. You've been in meetings all day." Prince Comlin said.
"Yes, everything is fine. It was just a few things that needed my attention. I had to lay down a new tariff last week and the people were not very happy about it." I told them. I really didn't want to tell them about the threat just yet and it wasn't exactly a lie. It did happen but it was quickly taken care of.
"Well they shouldn't complain to you. You are their king and they need to learn that what you say is law. You have the power." Comlin commented. I noticed Genny glaring at her plate trying not to snap at the prince. She must have sensed my stair because she looked up at me. I gave her a nod to encourage her to speak her mind. She looked at Prince Comlin to speak to him.
"Excuse me Prince Comlin," She said "but I'm going to have to disagree with you. I think that it is wise for the people to let their ruler know what they feel is needed, what is not, and what they do or do not like. If they don't or their ruler does not listen then they could be pushed into rebellion. It is important for a ruler to know his people." She looked calm but I could hear the venom behind the calm façade. I saw Comlin shiver at the tone.
"I agree," Hayley-ann spoke up. "A ruler who does not know their people cannot be a very good ruler." I noticed the smile on Edmund's face widen. Comlin looked down ashamed.
"You are absolutely correct." King Admin said finally interjecting into the conversation. "I think that you could do well to learn from them, Maligra" Admin said to look at his daughter. She looked down at her food blushing but she nodded slightly to show her father that she heard him. "Your girls here are very wise." He added that part to Edmund and I.
"Thank you," Edmund and I said at the same time. I noticed Hayley-ann, Genny, Elizabeth, Susan, and Lucy give us incredulous looks.
Uh-oh we're in trouble.
A/N: How was it? 10 points to whoever can guess the history references in the last two chapters. Maybe I'll even update faster if you guys can get it. I hope you guys are having or will have a great summer!
