The Professor walked the halls, going back to his classroom with books in hand. When he walked through the door, he saw Lord Miraz waiting for him.
"You have quite a library, Doctor," Miraz said.
"Is there anything in particular you seek, my lord?" the professor asks, trying to mask his nerves.
"I think I already found what I'm looking for," Miraz says and the professor puts his books down.
"In one of my soldiers!" Miraz yelled, sticking an arrow in a page that was flipped to the High Kings and Queens of Narnia, and the most Ferocious Warrior.
The professor walked up to the arrow and examined it. He then looked at the book, it was turned to a page with a drawing of the Pevensie's. The arrow specifically belonged to Emma Pevensie, The Warrior.

The professor placed his glasses down and Lord Miraz sat in his chair, putting his feet on the desk.
"What do you know of Queen Susan's horn?" Miraz asks.
"It was said to be magic." the professor explained.
"Magic?" Miraz repeated.
"The Narnians believed it could summon their kings and queens of old and their warrior." the professor chuckles. "At least, such was the superstition." Miraz removed his feet from the desk and stood up. Walking around it to stand in front of the professor.
"And what does Caspian know of this superstition?" Miraz asked harshly.
"My lord, you forbid me from mentioning the old tales." the professor lied.
Miraz chuckled and turned to the door. "So I did."
General Glozelle walked up the steps with shackles in his hands. The professor turned and looked horrified.
"I will say this, if Caspian does know of the deep magic," the professor said, keeping up his lie. "My lord would have good reason to be nervous."

Two soldiers harshly escorted the professor to the cells. Lord Sopespian saw but didn't say anything to them. However, when he saw the general, he walked over to him.
"First our prince, now his tutor?" he asks. "It makes you wonder, if the members of Miraz's own house are not safe, are any of us?"
"Lord Sopespian!" Miraz called from the professor's room.
"Those are dangerous words, Lord Sopespian." General Glozelle said.
"But these are dangerous times, general. One should choose his words as carefully as he chooses his friends." Sopespian said and began walking up the steps.
