A/N: Thank you jdeppgirl4 for the review! I really appreciate it! I sort of have a plot going on in my head, and I'll probably use it.
Two:
Edmund did not know that Lady Jane was actually Princess Jane. However, he wished very much to know where she was from. She was mysterious, and interesting, and to him, unlike any other girls he had met. Of course, it wasn't like he actually paid attention to them. But Jane? Well, with Jane he did.
It was a shock to find her in the garden the next morning with ladies-in-waiting. "Jane," He says, and she looks at him with a small smile.
"Edmund," She says, while standing up and curtsying. She figured it was the least she could do since he insisted so much on her calling him Edmund.
"I didn't know you had so many Maids!" He says, and she smiles wider.
"Why, Sire, all Princess' do!" His mouth dropped wide open.
"Princess? Your royal?"
"Well..Yes. I am! My father is King Fredrick, of Galma." And then it hit Edmund. He had heard of Jane before, but of course, it was one of those talks him and his siblings had. The one's where he could barely stay awake in? Yeah, those boring ones?
"Galma, huh?"
"Mhmm."
"Walk with me, Princess," Edmund says, and Jane does too. She tells her Ladies-In-Waiting that she is quite alright with being alone with Edmund, and that they could leave her. "Meet me in the Dining Hall at dinner," She tells them. They all smile, and giggle, thinking about things that don't even cross the Young King, and the Young Princess's mind.
"Oh!but your Majesty! You know how your father frowns upon this. You are not supposed to be left alone with any gentlemen!" Her eldest Maid, Heidi says. Princess Jane chuckles.
"Heidi, Heidi. What the King doesn't know, won't hurt the king! And besides, it is King Edmund the Just, We're talking about here! You know how daddy admires his Majesty, and the other Narnian rulers!" Edmund smirks slightly, knowing very well that King Fredrick didn't like his daughter alone. Peter had told him all about this. Although, at the time it hadn't dawned at him that he had met the King's daughter. Heidi, the maid smiles slightly at the young Princess, then leaves the two alone.
"Well, that was close. No offense, but your Ladies-In-Waiting are very..Plain. And boring."
"Oh, I know." She rolls her eyes, and Edmund takes her arm.
"So, Princess, tell me about Galma."
"Well, Galma is a very nice place. Not as nice as Narnia, though. We travel a lot. Father really enjoys being on the sea. And the duels! Oh, seeing you in the duel the other night, well I just know you'd like the ones we have!"
"You were here then, too?" She nods her head, and then turns her attention to some horses in the stable, which wasn't very far away. "You have horses?" Edmund laughs.
"How do you think we travel?"
"Well. I don't know. We had to borrow horses from someone to get here. Or maybe it was all arranged or something around the lines of that-"
"Oh, we sent them.."
"Well, that was very kind of you. Anyway, we don't have horses back in Galma."
"Have you ever ridden on one?"
"No, but I've ridden in a horse drawn carriage!"
"Well this, Jane, this is very different." And with that he grabbed her hand, and pulled her into the stable. He didn't bother to put a saddle on the horse, and hopped up right away. Then he held out his hand for Jane to grab. After doing so, Edmund said, "Hang on to me, tightly" And then they were off. Jane laughed loudly, and Edmund smiled at this. He never though he'd ever meet anyone who had never ridden a horse.
By the time they got back, the sun was setting, and their legs were sore. Edmund hopped off the horse, and helped Jane down. He watched her try and tame her hair, which had been in braids before, but now it was all over.
They walked into the Dinning Hall side by side, and both King Peter and King Fredrick stood up at the same time, yelling the same thing. "WHERE WERE YOU?" Both teenagers froze, and glanced at the other warily.
"We went for a ride," Edmund explained, and both the other Kings calmed down then, and sat down.
"Next time," King Fredrick says. "Tell us when you two are going on a ride."
"We were worried sick," Queen Susan adds. And the other, and much younger Queen nods in agreement. The teenagers tell them they would, and then they all sit down to eat dinner.
