do not be afraid of me my love

Part 2

While Susan and Lucy  were sitting in the coach  Susan remembered that Edmund had not answered her question she said "Well Edmund you haven't answered my  question have you. "  Edmund  just smiled but didn't answer her. 

After some time  they reached  the  castle  Edmund said "Susan and Lucy  I'll shown your room you both look exhausted I'll show you your rooms."Susan said"Please Edmund could Lucy and I share the same room. " Edmund said "Susan I know you and Lucy have a close bond but there is a reason why your parents sent you here which I cannot  tell  you I'm sorry." Susan lost her temper and said "I know the reason  the reason is my parents wants me to marry your merciless brother."Lucy said "Su please stop it we have to safe guard the kingdom since ........" Susan glared at  sister to  keep quite. Edmund smiled at showed Lucy her  room  and then took Susan to her  room . Edmund  showed her room It was the biggest, most luxurious, room she'd ever laid eyes on. There were two bay windows with dark purple velvet curtains on either side of the room. A gloriously warm well-lit and very clean fire place to the left of a large soft-looking bed piled with wool blankets and down-feather pillows.  "Will it do?" he asked her Susan nodded. It would do alright."Make yourself comfortable," Edmund told her, leaving the room. "There are a few nightgowns and dressing-gowns in the wardrobe, feel free to use them. I'll send one of the dryads up with some food for you. You must be hungry."

Susan felt her stomach growl. She hadn't eaten anything since breakfast. And now the sun was almost setting. Even if she couldn't (and wouldn't) stay, she could at least have a meal. If the meals here were even half as fancy as the rooms were, she could hardly wait.

Edmund asked her "what did Lucy want to say Susan. " Susan held back  her  tears and said " Cor and Corin  our older brothers are dead I'm sorry I was like that  I just could not ." Edmund said sympathetically "I'm so sad for you."

Early that night, Peter  said "Did you show Susan to her room like I asked?"

"Aw, man." Edmund pretended to look shocked. "I knew I was forgetting something! Do you mean I wasn't supposed to leave her in the garden with an extra pillow?" Peter laughed, and said "Very funny, Ed." messing up his little brother's hair. "Yes, I showed her to her room," 

Peter asked. "What do you think of her?" "A bit high-strung." Edmund shrugged."Yes, I'd noticed that too." Peter agreed with him. He smiled a little and added, "She's very pretty." Edmund said "Peter?  what if she does not agree  to marry you " Peter said "it's been planned since birth Ed  she can't do anything." 

Both the brothers smiled and went to sleep.
