Inside Aslan's How, Hera and Lucy climb up on Destier, Caspian's horse.

"Now remember, to always be careful" Susan said as Caspian helped the ladies mount his horse.

"That's the umpteenth time, Su. We know and we will" Hera replied giving her a smirk.

"You really don't want me to go with you?" Susan asked.

"I want you here with Peter and Edmund. You know how to handle difficult things when Peter contrive himself" Hera said earning a smile from Susan.

"Destier has always served me well. You are in good hands" Replied Caspian as he secure their feet on the Stirrup.

"Or hooves" Lucy grin. Caspian smiles and then he looks up at Hera.

"Good luck" he said with a nod. Hera looked at him for a second before avoiding his eyes.

"Thanks." She replied. Caspian looked at her with glint in his eyes that she cannot describe what it was. He blinked his eyes twice and took something from his satchel and didn't see how Susan look at Caspian and Hera back and forth, a guess was forming in her mind then she met Lucy's eyes and that's where she knew, the two gave a knowing smile, ignoring a tight feeling deep in her heart.

No one knew of her budding infatuation to the Telmarine prince. He, unlike other guys she met in school, was a very brave man. A man of responsibility, a man of his word, a man with morals and A man with pride and Dignity.

He was a dream man, not only her, but to lot of women around her age. Susan won't deny she had her fair share of suitors lining up her door, but to Caspian, the fight hasn't even started, she already lost.

Even if Hera's feelings towards Orion would stood strong in her heart, but Susan can see how Hera's walls slowly starting to melt towards Caspian, without her knowledge.

Hera's her friend, her sister and they have been together for long years in Narnia and short years in their world. She was sad when Hera fell for the wrong man in the wrong time. Susan then looked at Caspian, hoping that putting her feelings down and letting Caspian be free of showing his feelings towards Hera making her forget all about that dense half-horse, for God's sake, then her small sacrifice would be all worth it.

Caspian pulls out the horn from his satchel and gave it to Hera.

"I think you should have this, In case something happened." Caspian said. Hera looked at him before glancing at Susan's pearly white horn. The very same horn that accompanied her sister at all dangers they face.

"You're giving it to the wrong person. You should check your eyes to see which Queen is the owner of that, my prince" Hera said as she gave him a teasing smirk before pushing her Stirrups to make Destrier gallop away. The girls ride off as Caspian and Susan watches them.

"My Prince? Wasn't that Romantic!" Lucy teasingly mocked Hera making the older girl roll her eyes with a blush spreading her cheeks.

"Oh, shut up." She snapped.

Susan jab Caspian's ribs softly to get his attention.

"Let's get ready" she said and walked away and Caspian followed her lead.
