Hey there thanks for the review I have gotten so far on this story, although I would hope to have more, but oh well!
Anyway this chapter basically gives a bit of Caspian's side of the story, hope you enjoy and please reivew, small question at the end!
I do not own Narnia or Romeo and Juliet, in case it wasn't obvious.
Caspian sat in his room reading a book he had found that day in the castle library. He spent most of his time in their trying to avoid his uncle trying to make plans for an attack on Narnia. Ironically the book was brand new about the Narnia monarchy, he presumed it was his uncle's, the king's since they were always at war with the Narnians so therefore it must be his. The book must have been new, well since the royals in Narnia had only been on the throne for a few years.
Caspian had a strange obsession with Narnia, despite being a telmarine prince he was meant to be sworn enemies with them, all of his life he had heard of how awful the Narnians had been, his uncle had told him many tales of them but one of them stuck with him forever, how his father had died.
He had been told that his father had been killed by a narnian minotaur, yet the feud between the new royals was unnecessary since this happened 15 years ago when Caspian was only three and the royals had not even entered Narnia yet, so it could have had nothing to do with them. Yet his advisor, Robin, had told him to avoid talking about the Narnia's too much and to try at all times to do as his uncle told him to. Robin had been with Caspian for nearly three years and his views on the Narnians were also very strong, yet not as strong as his uncles views of course but not that far off.
Caspian planted the heavy book and turned over the first page in the book that read, king Peter the magnificent, according to the book it looked like he would be the same age as Caspian roughly, but his uncle despised Peter, calling him young and inexperienced, despite the fact the he was king of all of Narnia. Yet the book told Caspian he was very brave and an excellent swordsman. Caspian did know how to sword fight but had never fought in a war like King Peter had.
The next page was on the other king, Edmund, he looked to be slightly in the shadow of his brother despite himself also being a king, yet it said in the book that he had betrayed Aslan for the white queen but he must have redeemed himself or else he would not be king.
Another page turn and he saw queen Lucy she was very young a child off only eight years old in fact, she was called the valiant, it said that she had saved the lives of hundreds of soldiers by healing them with her potion. She looked so innocent yet so wise, a true queen despite her young age, read the quote at the bottom.
He turned onto another page and saw a beautiful maiden, queen Susan, the gentle, he understood why Alsan had given her that name, she looked so sweet and gentle. Yet it also said that she was a great archer as well, he was about to read on when a knock at the door caused him to shut the book quickly jumping as he did so and pushing the book along the stone floor under his bed.
He sat up at his desk trying to look natural by writing on some parchment on his desk and shouted to the door,
"Come in."
The two white doors opened slowly as Robin walked in, his posture arrogant, he was the same age as Caspian yet acted as if he had been alive so long that he knew everything, anyone would call him obnoxious, in fact anyone would call him obnoxious.
"Caspian your uncle, King Miraz wants to speak to you in his study."
Caspian sighed in his head, he knew it would be another crazy scheme for attacking the Narnians in some way. He could not back down in front of Robin so reluctantly got up from his desk and followed Robing through his bedroom door and walked for what seemed to be forever towards his uncles study.
When they finally reached the study Robin rapped on the door and Caspian heard his uncle's thick telmarine accent which was even thicker than Caspian's, but not nearly as smooth or soft.
"Who is it?"
Robin raised himself and said through, the door feeling the need to introduce Caspian as well,
"It is your nephew, Caspian my king and his advisor Robin."
The door opened and Miraz invited them in and beaconed them to walk to wards a large table, Caspian sighed silently when he saw what was on the table, a map of Narnia.
Miraz stood at the other side of the table opposite Caspian and Robin.
"Caspian, Robin there is a very special occasion happening tomorrow night in Narnia, the sixteenth birthday party of queen Susan the gentle."
Caspian's mid flashed back to the book he was reading this morning about Narnian royalty describing her.
Miraz looked at the two of them the way a king would, his eyes twitching in excitement of it all, this was one step into taking over Narnia into getting more land for himself.
"I want you two to go there and spy on the Narnians, find out any plans you can and report back to me, you will leave tomorrow morning as sunrises, I have seen that horses will be prepared for you."
He dismissed them after a short meeting and just as they were walking out he added in quickly, making Caspian and Robin turn around to face him,
"One last thing this trip is for business not pleasure."
Robin being his smug self, as much to Caspian's disgust said,
"Of course not your majesty."
Caspian entered the room silently dreading the following morning, looking at the silver moon outside the window.
"Do not swear by the moon, for she changes constantly. then your love would also change."
