"Su, Lu, Pete. This is Astra, my friend. She's from the outskirts of Narnia and I meet her at the festival." Ed introduced Astra to his siblings.
"Hello, I'm Lucy, and before you say it, we'd prefer you to call us by our given names." She rushed up and gave Astra a big hug, "I so hope we can be friends!"
"I'm Susan, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm glad Edmund finally found a proper friend, he's always been the quiet shy type."
"Susan," Edmund groaned, blushing. Astra just laughed.
"I'm High King Peter. It's an honour to meet you." He said, kissing her hand, "I must go now but I trust I'll be seeing you again?"
"Ermm, yes, probably," she awkwardly replied.
Susan and Lucy smiled as he walked off but Edmund just glared at the back of his head.
Astra and Edmund had spent a couple of hours after the meeting out riding horses in the Western Woods, until Edmund had to leave for another meeting, when Astra was walking through the castle. She passed a door and heard the 2 Queens talking. She also heard the name Edmund being mentioned.
She knew it was wrong to eavesdrop, and especially on royalty, but she felt that if they were talking about Edmund, he might want to know what it was.
"Honestly, you could so tell Peter likes her! It was obvious, he was using all his charm." Giggled Lucy.
"I know! And she didn't seem to notice. I noticed she kept looking at Ed, I think there's something going on between them 2. I've never seen Ed so happy, and it's all because of her! And I'm sure she feels the same way about him."
"Yes, it's great for Edmund and Astra but what about Peter? He probably won't take to kindly to her and Edmund, after all, he's the one ladies swoon over. I wouldn't like to be Edmund if Peter found out."
Astra gasped at hearing this, quite a loud gasp I might add. She knew the conspiring sisters inside would have heard and rushed off,, reeling inside with this knew information.
So Edmund did like her! But so did Peter! Whatever was a girl to do?
