A/N: I don't own Narnia and the characters. Just OCs.


CHAPTER 5

Do you want my opinion about this place?

It's amazing.

I've never been to Cair Paravel before, and now that I have seen inside it, my eyes really were sparkling. I saw so many paintings on each of the wall in a hallway that I was walking in with the Kings. They were all beautiful paintings. Probably made by experts.

I couldn't help but stole glances at King Edmund though. I didn't know that he was actually cared about me and that he was concerned. I thought he disliked me after all that happened, yet my opinion towards him could change drastically.

As we entered the dining room, I saw a long table with various and delicious foods on it. I saw two beautiful ladies that I wouldn't have to guess because I knew they were Queen Susan The Gentle and Queen Lucy The Valiant. They both sat next to each other.

Of course I saw King Caspian too, sat in front of Queen Susan.

Shaking, I followed from behind King Peter and King Edmund as we entered. King Peter pulled out a chair for me, politely.

Just like gentlemen.

Whereas King Edmund had already sat next to Queen Susan with a sigh of hunger.

"You have a guest right here, Ed." Peter said sarcastically as he sat on the edge of the table.

"So?" Edmund replied with an eyebrow raised.

"At least you could have showed some respect."

"Like he knows what does that word mean." Lucy interrupted with a grin.

"I spend most of my times in the library, by the way, Lu. Just for your information." Edmund replied.

"You never read books Ed. You just wanted silence. That's why you go there." Lucy said. "By the way, how bad I am as a person. I'm Lucy by the way." The Valiant Queen greeted me nicely.

"How can I be surprised. You are bad." Edmund interrupted.

"And that doesn't make me like you." Lucy responded sarcastically.

"Okay okay, stop it you both. We have a guest here," Queen Susan tried to shut them up. "I'm Susan. And that is Caspian who is sitting next to you." She greeted.

"I'm Evelyn. Nice to finally meet you all in real." I said.

"Oh, so you read things about us?" Caspian asked.

"Most of the times. When I was little, my father used to tell me stories about Narnia."

"So, you read things about me then?" Edmund asked while eating his food.

"As a matter of fact, yes." I responded eagerly.

"And what did you find so far?"

"That you are disturbing her every time you speak up." Peter interrupted sarcastically. "Come on Evelyn, have some food. We don't want our guest starve to death, right?"

"Thank you." I replied and started eating like others.

The foods actually were really great. It were all cooked perfectly and every time I got a bite of it, I just wish my sister would be here.

"You look tired." Lucy spoke up after a while.

"It's not an unusual thing to see my presence like this." I replied with a smile.

"You look like this everyday?" Susan asked.

"Not really. But I have to admit that yes, I'm tired today. Actually I just want to get my bow and arrows back but since King Peter and King Edmund have told me something unexpected, I want to know more."

"You told her?" Susan asked Peter.

"Not entirely me, but Edmund." Peter replied.

"She has the right to know her history." Edmund spoke up.

"She is not even seventeen yet." Susan said to Edmund.

"I will. Next July." I told them. "Please, if you care about me and my family, let me know more."

"It's getting late, Ev. Maybe tomorrow?" Susan said.

"Why must tomorrow? Why not now?" I asked.

"Because it's such a long story and I don't want you get mixed up because you will not be concentrated, as it's late now and you are probably tired."

"But can we just-" I said but Queen Susan cut off.

"Not a single word is allowed come out from your mouth, Ev. You are tired, and I want you to stay for the night here. We will tell you everything in the morning, I promise."

"Stay here for the night? No no. My sister will be worried. She's alone at home with my mother. But probably with my friend too but I'm sure they are waiting for me." I said politely.

"We will send someone to tell your family that you will stay here for tonight. Don't worry." Peter spoke up. "Susan will show you the room."

"Of course, Peter." Susan said and she stood up and walked towards me. "Come on Ev." She said.

I stood up from my chair and followed Susan out of the dining room. I heard everyone dismissed too as we got out.

"Is it not a troublesome for you all that I'm staying here tonight?" I said to Queen Susan as we walked towards the destination.

"What? Of course not! I personally love your presence here. Besides, from your father's stories about you and from Peter and Edmund, I find you unique and an interesting person, even though I never met you before." She replied with a smile.

"King Edmund told you about me?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes. He said you are unique and mysterious. He never found a girl like you before, he said that."

"But he seems to…. hate me." I said but it was like I was talking to myself rather with the Queen.

"Hate? That's a big word to describe his feelings towards you." Susan grinned.

"Then what word that will suit perfectly to describe it?"

"Dislike. Edmund dislikes everyone."

"Now that is unbelievable." I said sarcastically.

"I know. But that's Edmund. He is childish, no matter how old he is." Susan shook her head. "This is your room." She led me inside a room.

The room was quite big I suppose. A normal white bed with a canopy, a dressing table, a wardrobe, and beside the wardrobe is where the bathroom is.

"It's…quite nice for a guest room." I spoke up after a while exploring my eyes all around the room.

"Yes it is. Don't worry, you will be comfortable sleeping here I promise." She replied with a wink.

"Yeah, of course I will." I replied.

"Okay. Should I leave you now or you still need anything, maybe?"

"Oh, no! It's okay, I'm fine. Thank you, Queen Susan for everything today."

"Don't worry. It's my pleasure to treat my special guest specially." She said with a smile. "Well, I shall leave you then. There's a night gown in the wardrobe if you feel the need to change. I'll order someone to send you clothes for tomorrow morning." Susan said as she walked towards the door.

"Thank you, once again Queen Susan."

"You thank too much!" Susan laughed. As she walked out towards the door, she turned her head to say, "No need the title. Just Susan." She said with a smile and closed the door."
