Chapter VII

Annabelle woke up to someone knocking on her door. Forgetting she was only wearing a night gown, she opened it and found Edmund with a basket in his hands, dressed in a simple white tunic and black breeches. He grinned as he noticed her appearance:

"Nice dress my lady" he gave her a seducing look.

"Oh I see you like it too much my lord."

"Of course I do, how can someone resist such a view?" She just rolled her eyes and smiled at her favorite man.

"So why are you here my king? Certainly not to disturb my sleep."

"No, but we may have a little plan today. Get ready and meet me at the stables.

She went inside the room but he pinned her against a wall.

"It seems I forgot something" he whispered in her ear.

"And what may that be?" she breathed as her knees went weak.

"My good morning kiss" before she could respond he crashed his lips on hers as his hands went around her waist, she clutched to his shirt as she could not stay upright. The kiss was so simple yet passionate that she felt her head spinning. As they pulled away, both breathless, she murmured:

"Well I can get used to that." She pulled him in a much softer one. Edmund chuckled between her lips.

"Now go get ready. It's near daybreak and we've got a long way to travel."

"Won't you tell me now?"

"Patience and you'll soon see."

After getting dressed, Anne found Edmund in the stables as he said; he was saddling two beautiful horses:

"Annabelle, this is Alexis, she'll be your mount from now on." The young lady's eyes went round; he just gave her a horse!

"It's a pleasure my lady." Another voice spoke; her eyes grew even rounder as she realized it was coming from the horse itself. She clearly wasn't used to talking animals in Narnia. She finally remembered her manners and answered:

"T-The pleasure is all mine." The just king tried to hide his laugh as he helped her mount before doing the same himself.

They left the castle and rode for a couple of hours stopping to eat from time to time. They finally slowed down as a lamppost came to view.

"Is this a lamppost?" asked the young woman.

"Yes, it is." Edmund confirmed.

"Is it THE lamppost?"

"Indeed."

"Wow."

"This is the Lantern Waste."

"That's where you ended up with your siblings after stumbling through that wardrobe the first time you entered Narnia."

"Actually, I first entered Narnia before that."

"What do you mean?" they both dismounted and left the horses go to where they pleased.

"You may want to sit down, it's a long story."

She did as he asked and found a spot on the soft grass; he did the same before taking a deep breath. Why was he so nervous?

"One day, we were playing hide and seek. Lucy came upon a wardrobe and hid in it. That's when she discovered Narnia. After she came back, only few seconds had passed in our world. She counted her adventure but no one believed her, I even made fun of it. I was a terrible child, never thinking before acting. I saw her sneak out that same night. In the intention of scaring her; I followed her and ended up in Narnia as well. That's when I met the white witch, she called herself Jadis, queen of Narnia, and of course I believed her. She treated me kindly and I fell easily for it, she gave me Turkish delight which I loved at the time as she began asking me about my sibling. Without thinking, again, I gave her all the information she wanted. She told me that she'll make me her king and next time I had to bring all the others with me for them to serve me. When we reentered Narnia I took the opportunity to sneak out and went to her without knowing that it was my doom. I soon realized my mistake, but sadly, it was too late. I betrayed my own family for sweets and power. My fear made me tell her even more. The narnians and my siblings all forgave me and Aslan named me Knight of the Noble order of the Table after I broke the white witch's wand in the great battle of Beruna. By Aslan's will, I became king Edmund the just. I've spent all my life trying to repay my people for their trust and Aslan for his sacrifice. Even now, I can't rest in peace as guilt consumes me. But I guess it's only another reminder of my stupid acts."

He finished his story with a faraway look. Anna could see why he earned his peoples' trust. She could see such a great man in him.

"You were young back then, don't blame yourself." She consoled him.

"But it doesn't mean that I didn't know what was wrong or right, I chose wrong."

"Edmund, Look at me." He turned to her as her green eyes pierced his soul "the narnians love and respect you not because Aslan crowned you but because they could see the great ruler within you, your wisdom, justness and good judgment aided this country many times, even I, who came only a few days ago, could see it. Your past changed you for the better, you should be grateful for that." She whispered.

"Thank you, Annabelle." His face was filled with so much love and gratitude that she felt a strange fluttering in her stomach.

"No, thank you for trusting me enough as to share such a personal matter."

"You're more than worth it." He looked in her eyes as he spoke the words. She smiled back, a beautiful blush creeping to her cheeks.

Then he began to lean closer as she did the same, after a mere second, they kissed softly, Edmund's hand went to her waist as she pulled her arms around his neck. His hand went to the back of her neck deepening the kiss the other to the small of her back. Anne gasped as she felt his tongue brush her lips but soon gave him entrance gladly. Her hands went to his hair playing with his soft curls as they explored each other's mouths. The need for air made them pull apart, Edmund made his way just below her ears and kissed her gently down her jaw to her neck and shoulder, everywhere his lips went he left butterfly kisses that made Annabelle breath harder, heat radiating from the places he touched. Both were flushed as they caught their breath.

"We need to go back" whispered Ed their foreheads touching.

"I don't want to." Anne protested.

"Sorry Love, but they must have already noticed our absence, it's already sunset, I don't want to give them anymore reason to tease us."

Anne blushed at what he called her but managed to nod her head.

The just king just smiled at her cuteness.

"But first I need to ask you something."

"What is it?" He suddenly knelt to the ground with a little box in his hands, it contained a beautiful bracelet horned with small diamonds intertwining to make a flowery shape. The design was so sweet. In the back two letters were engraved A.E.

"Do you, Lady Annabelle. Accept to court me, king Edmund the Just?"

Anne felt few tears escape from her eyes.

"Yes!" she answered while jumping on the young man. He laughed and they kissed lovingly before setting off.

When they arrived to the castle, the sun was peeking shyly from the horizon preparing to make the darkness fade slowly. No one was awake which was a great relief. Annabelle made her way quietly to her room but jumped when she saw a grinning Lucy on her bed.

"Lucy! You scared me!"

"Look who's talking, we thought you guys eloped. Edmund spoke about his plans to take you out but we never imagined it will take that long."

"We went to the Lantern Waste."

"Then Ed must have told you everything."

"Yes, I'm glad he did."

The valiant queen squealed when she saw the bracelet Annabelle was wearing.

"You're courting!"

"How did you know?"

"The bracelet in your hand, It's a custom in Narnia. You know like an engagement ring."

Anna gazed at her gift with so much love that made Lucy smile at her happiness.

"I'm envious."

"Don't be Lucy, your time will come, and no one can resist such a beautiful woman."

Lucy smiled gratefully before ordering:

"Now got to bed, I'll ask them not to bother you, and be prepared; my family's no ordinary one."

They both laughed before the youngest queen went to her quarters and left Annabelle to get some rest.
