Chapter 43: I'm lowkey obsessed with this idea


They are there, at the coronation, when General Oreius kneels and receives the crown from Aslan, and they remain in the castle as Oreius appoints them positions in his court.

Peter has already been knighted by Aslan and by the time he is twenty he is Captain of the Royal Guard and a trusted, if very young, general. Susan becomes an ornament of the court, stepping neatly into the role of a diplomat, her shining grace and beauty and, well, humanity helping to win over Narnia's neighbors. Edmund, touched by the forgiveness of Narnians and the clemency of their king, steps in to study law but also falls backwards into politics as he seeks to write laws to protect the people who have given him so much.

Lucy, on the other hand, while she is made a lady of the court as well, she's not to be tied down, too interested in seeing new sights and making new friends. She ventures farther and farther from the castle until she takes a boat so far east that she comes back with tales of a sea of lilies and a wife she claims was a fish shepherdess. Whatever that means.
