Chapter 25

Carter's Pov

"Caspian, bloody hell! Stop walking so fast." I say with a puff, trying to keep up with my friend who was walking a mile an hour. "This is my day off, stop making me do excise!"
"Stop whining." He says with a laugh because walking even FASTER, if that is even possible. "I am in a hurry." Well I can see that.
"And why are you in a hurry?" I persist.
"Why I am going to ask Susan to marry me, and there is this perfect ring which I must get for her." He says so quickly that I nearly didn't hear it, but lucky for me I have good ears. Though the news sort of annoyed me, why had my best friend taken so long to tell me such awesome news?
"And why are you telling me this NOW, Caspian? That's normally something you say to a person right away. It is usually 'hey mate, can you come with me to pick out a ring for my soon to be fiancé'. Not drag me half way across the village before you tell me! That hurts mate, it really does." I say clutching my heart dramatically.
He laughed and punches me in the arm, before replying with, "I didn't tell you because when I asked you to come into the village with me Susan was in the room, not to mention Peter."
My smile drops of my face, because once again Caspian is right. "Oh." Wait! Peter, ha, Caspian is dead. And that thought brings my ego back to life just knowing that Peter was going to seriously hurt Caspian's.
"Why are you laughing?" He asks, looking at me strangely.
"Because," I started but couldn't keep the straight face long enough. But I try again. "Because you have to talk to Peter before you ask her." Caspian's face turns pales, and the ego decline starts! "Oh mate I am so glad I am not you. Peter can be scary."
"So what do you plan on doing when you propose to Lucy?" He asks making me uncomfortable at the question, after all I had thought about it, obvious the thoughts were set way in the future that is of course if she returned the feelings. Which will be never! Since she will not stop talking about how funny Erickson was at the bloody ball! Well if he is so funny you should have gone with him. And I am way funnier than Erickson. But I never realised that anyone had noticed mine feels for Lucy which makes me very venerable.
"Why would I? I don't like her like that she is like my sister." I said trying to play it cool and Caspian hooked an eyebrow up at me.
"Well you two must be in that deep than, I would find a way out before you suffocate."

Eustace's Pov

"Come on Eustace, we have practice." As Jane strolled into the library holding her sword as well as mine.
I looked up from my book. "Five more minutes? It's in the good part?" I asked with a pout.
"No, let's go, lazy ass." She says grabbing my arm. And I get up, with a huge sigh, as I know that I am defeat.
"Do we have to practice cannot we do something else?" I ask her.
"Like what?" She says standing with her hands on her hips. I think for a moment, quite intensely as I really didn't feel enthused to practice my fencing skills today.
"Well what about you teach me how to dance, after all I am sure I will be attending a few more balls in my life time and I need to learn how to dance." I suggest to her with a pleading smile.
"Well since I witnessed first hands both your left feet, I would say it was a good idea." She say with a smirk.
"To the ballroom, milady?" I say with a bow before offering my arm to her which she takes with a laugh and we walk to the ballroom.

The ballroom is empty; it was pretty much a massive, high ceiling room. We walk into the centre of the room and bow to each other before we start dancing and it wasn't before long that I step on her toes and she winces.
"Sorry," I said apologetically which makes her laugh.
"I have been through much worse than someone stepping on my toes." Touché

It wasn't before long that I got the hang of it and we were gliding around the room in a graceful waltz. The song ended and I dipped her down, and slowly bring her back up, her hands gripping tightly around my neck so that her face was inches from my face. Her long straight brown hair was falling out of her clips that bund her hair to her head. It made her look different, less fierce and more like a young girl. My eyes travelled across her face from her deep green eyes all the way to her smiling red lips and I had a sudden urge to lean in and kiss them and then I was leaning in and so was she. But just her lips touch mine she pulled away and unhooked her arms from around me blushing and opened her mouth to say something.
"I…er… have this thing." She stutters out blushing even more, making me cock my head to one side and smirking at her unbelievingly. "I do," she says with a smile before turning quickly and nearly running out the room. And I couldn't help but watch her leave with a smile.

Peter's POV

There is a knock at the door that pulls me from my work and I get up to answer the door to find Caspian standing at the door. Which is strange in itself, Caspian never knocks he just walks on in, usually?
"Come in," I say looking weirdly at him and step out of his way so he could come in. Caspian walks in and started pacing around my office looking rather nervous. I slowing walk over to front of my desk and leaned against it waiting for Caspian to spill why he was pacing around my office.

Then suddenly he comes to a standstill not far in front of me. "Um, well the er… reason I am here is because er…. I want to ask Susan to marry me." I stared at him in shocked, I wasn't expecting that. He must take my silence as a bad thing so he keeps talking. "Well I love your sister a lot and we have been through so much and I don't want to lose her again but I haven't asked here get because I wanted to get your permission first." He finished looking at me worried. Caspian's happiness was in my hands.
"Why do you need my permission?" I inquire, and he looks a taken a back. I don't think he expected me to say that.
"Because you're her older brother, her father's not available to ask so I went to the next best person." He replied looking worried.
"Ok."
"Ok, that's it no scary big brother threats or anything?" Caspian joked still looking a little worried.
"Do you want me to threaten you because I can?" I ask him and he shakes his head making me laugh. "Besides you already know that I will bash your head in if you hurt my sister." And he nods. "Now if there is nothing else I have some work to do, and you have a woman to propose to." I said moving around my desk and sit down going back to my previous work.

Susan's POV

The doors open behind me and close again, and two arms wrap themselves around my waist, and a head falling down to rest on my shoulder as I stare out over Narnia watching the sun set over the far water. "Good evening, love." Caspian said placing light kisses down my neck.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" I ask him as he continues to kiss my neck and shoulder and mutters an agreement.
"It's has and hasn't changed so much since it was mine," I whisper remember the days were me and my sibling ruled. I felt Caspian lips stop kissing me instead looking at me now.
"What are you talking about? It's still yours."
I turn to look at him, with a smile. "No Caspian, this." I say waving my hand off the balcony at the world. "Is yours."
"But what's mine is yours." He says with a shy smile when he sees my confused face and he lowers himself to one knee and pulls a velvet case from his pocket and opens it to see a beautiful diamond ring. I can already feel a tear swelling in my ear. "Susan I love you, more than anything. The four years that you weren't here next to me was painful. I can stand to be away from you anymore. I love you more that I care to admit and I couldn't bear the thought of losing you because I don't think I could live a day without you. So would you, Susan Pevensie please do me the excruciating honour of accepting my hand of marriage and being my Queen?" He asks starring up at me, eyes full of hope, love and happiness.
I don't even have to think about it. "Yes, a million times yes." I said with a smile and Caspian smiles back at me because jumping up and kissing me, pushing me again the rail of the balcony. As he kisses me I feel him take me left hand and stops kissing me long enough it slide the ring onto my finger and I felt that hand get a little heavier than the other hand.
"It's heavier." I said with a laugh.
"Get used to it." He replies with a laugh before crashing his lips to mine.
