Chapter 7
It was later in the afternoon that the small group started on their journey home. Something Lucy was saddened by, leaving her memorial home. Theo, on the other hand kept Lucy company by recounting the new legends and tales of Narnia. Many involving the great Kings and Queen of Old. Lucy had no trouble remembering her personal tales, although she never remembered it as grand or elaborate as Theo claimed. Lucy, however, didn't have the heart to correct her riding companion.
It wasn't long before a simple rest on the ground, that the group found themselves riding through the gates to Caspians castle. Greeted by men, women, and children all around waving and smiling. Lucy was so proud the village for coming in full circle around. From believing his Uncle their leader, to showing Caspian that he never lost their loyalty, their support, and their love. He really was an amazing King and a kind man.
From the top of the castle a blonde angel slowly descended the steps with a grey haired man standing proudly by her side. Their faces were stern, cold, and uninviting.
Caspian jumped off his horse and approached the duo. "Lord Camberlin, Lady Ulisia, what honor do I owe such an early visit? We were not expecting you for another week."
"My dear girl wanted to become more acquainted with her new home, servants, and followers." Lord Camberlin announced in a deep baritone voice.
At a lost for words Caspian looked down at Lucy as she made her way up the stairs to their location. "My Lord, my Lady. May I introduced High Queen Lucy of Old."
"High Queen?" The angel spoke in a nasal voice.
Caspian nodded, "Yes, Queen of all Narnia."
"Then you are not a King?" Ulisia accused.
"No, I am King." Caspian quickly corrected.
The blonde shoved a skeleton finger into Lucy's face. "You just said she was Queen of all Narnia."
"What's this?! You are not King!?" Lord Camberlin voice rose.
"No I am the King. I am."
"Then who is this girl? Do you wish to break the contract?" Sang the baritone.
"You don't wish to marry me?" Came the screech of the angle.
"I never said that." Caspian retorted try his hardest not to panic.
Lucy stood watching the two gang up on Caspian. Taking pity Lucy took control of the chaos. "I BELIEVE... if we sit down to a small mid morning meal I can explain everything you need to understand my Lord."
Lord Camberlin was intrigued with the enchanting smile and hand Lucy held out to him. Gracefully taking her hand he led her into the castle. "I shall be most gracious Miss Lucy. You are obviously too young to be Queen."
Lucy smiled sweetly. "Actually, I am."
