CHAPTER FOUR
The remainder of the journey was quiet, extremely quiet.
Lucy stole sideways glances at her riding companions and all of his men. They could tell that something had happened the first night of their journey. They all remembered that their King stayed awake, after they all had retired for the night, talking to Queen Lucy. Yet when they approached Lucy about their King's strange behavior, she simply replied that she did not know what was bothering Caspian. That was the main part that Lucy felt terrible about. She hated lying, even if was just a small one. Several times now she had to choke on the urge to tell them the truth.
That she had crushed all of Caspian's hopes of marrying the woman he loved, and living happily ever after.
For what seemed like the thousandth time that morning, Lucy sighed. They were due to reach The Castle that Lies in Ruins any moment know. After she collects her much needed items they would probably start heading back. She could only pray that it was a much more pleasant ride.
Lost in her thoughts, Lucy hadn't noticed that the group had all stopped, even Theo had. IT was then that the sounds of hammers, saws, stones being moved and dropped reached her ears. Looking up Lucy gasped in shock.
The Castle was under construction and nearly finished. It looked exactly the way it did when they first lived in the Castle. Well, except for the stories of wooden walk ways around the outside.
"What? But how?" Lucy was speechless.
Caspian was smiling at her, his first in days. "A patrol came upon it just after you and your brother left with that cousin of yours. After we recovered some personal artifacts of yours, i decided to rebuild it based on the pictures and documents in my library."
Lucy still couldn't believe what was right before her eyes. "Why?"
Caspian shrugged looking at the masterpiece before him, "I had hoped to settle here during the summer after I married."
Lucy's stomach plummeted. "How exciting." She murmured.
Caspian laughed at her facial expression. "Shall we take a look into your past?" He teased as he dismounted and started walking towards the castle.
Lucy shrugged, while sliding off Theo. "Sure." She said sarcastically. "Let's take a look at my real age in Narnia, than we can all sit down for tea talking about my past and the country's history. Thank you for the ride Theo." She called over her shoulder before rambling some more, "Didn't you know it's rude to talk about a woman's age. I fell like ancient history."
