RECAP:
"Edmund, this is all your fault." Susan said grimly. "I wanted to found out how everything turned out. Because of your loud voice, we'll never know."
"This wasn't even a good idea. You only dragged me into it." Edmund moaned. "I'm going back to my room, goodnight."
"I should get some rest as well," Lucy said. "I will see you in the morning."
"They aren't back yet...maybe they are taking a walk or something. It is getting a bit late to eat supper. Maybe they are doing something different now." Elizabeth said while heading towards her room. Susan followed behind her.
"I suppose you are correct," Susan yawned. "But I think we should rest for the night. It is getting a bit late."
"Alright," Lucy said. "Goodnight Susan, Elizabeth."
"Goodnight, Lu." Susan and Elizabeth said at the same time.
Chapter 37
Peter stood in his bedchamber where he outside in his balcony, looking out at the blueish green morning sea. The waves met the sand soothingly as the sun began to rise. The sky was a combination of blue, red, orange, purple, and yellow. It was breath taking. During the night he wasn't able to sleep through the dark hours. He knew he had duties, but he felt she was more important. She and Peter were now inseparable. He hated being away from her, he wanted to be by her all day and all night. Peter wanted to spend all of his time with her, helping her, taking care of her, love her. He even crept out of his room some times during the night to visit her room, to see if she was safe and sound; and there she was sleeping peacefully in her satin sheets. Love does crazy things indeed.
--
She had woken up the next morning prior to her magical night with the High King. It felt right during the whole night. Annalissa knew she was in love with Peter, and she knew deep inside he too was in love with her. The young woman slipped out of bed and wrapped her pale blue robe around her. She made a few steps to the door when she heard paper being crunched from below her. Anna's eyes met a parchment that was folded with her name on it. Questioning who it was from, she bent down to pick the paper up and opened it.
To my love,
Thank you for the wonderful night. Your attempt to soften me up is working quite nicely. When you and I were staring at the stars, looking at the moon and the constellations, I wanted to stay that way forever, with you in my arms. More meetings await me later today, but I will try my best to see you shortly after. I love you and I always will.
Love,
Peter
Annalissa looked at the note a few times as a grin formed on her face. She had proof about his love for her. Annalissa placed the parchment on the desk beside the window and took a minute to look outward it. The sky was overcast with gray/white clouds surrounding Cair. There were puddles around the castle due to rain from the night before. She thanked herself for spending an unwet night with Peter. Anna chuckled to herself while sitting back down on her bed. The blue satin sheets were messy from tossing and turning through out the night; but not from nightmares. The rush and excitement from last night and when she was able to see her man next. She had discovered a letter on her desk as well, from Fidel.
Annalissa,
As I can see, you have moved on and that you and the High King are very much in love as you and I were in the past. I makes me happy that you have given love a chance again with other person. I have moved on and indeed I am raising my child in hiding. As before, I am terribly sorry for what came to be those years ago. High King Peter is more worthy for your whole being and soul. He has talked about yourself none too many times. He says hows wonderful you are, beautiful you are, loving and caring and soft. Indeed you are all those things, Annalissa. My life is better as of now, now I wish you a good future with the High King. If you think he is lucky to have found a woman such as yourself, luck has nothing to do with it.
Sincerely Yours,
Fidel
Annalissa inhaled and exhaled, releasing the paper from her finger tips and watched it fall onto the wooden desk. Now she was free of any possible love-triangle. She remembered the night before; it wouldn't have been if it wasn't for Susan's brilliant idea.
She heard a knock on her door and hurried to open it to see Mr. Tumnus carrying another piece of paper with her name on it. "Hello, there. Good morning." She greeted the faun.
"Good morning to yourself, my Lady. This is for you, miss." He handed her the paper and gave her an innocent smile.
"May I ask whom it is from?"
"I am not certain if I should say. He did not say weather..."
"It is from Peter, isn't it." Anna said with a twinkle in her eye. And with that the faun smiled and nodded. "Thank you very much. I will see you in a while." When Tumnus left, Annalissa opened it up and read the ink on the paper.
Annalissa,
I am going to be busy through out the day with meetings from the council again. I wish I could spend all day with you. Hopefully you will read this before I am off.
Peter
