Narnia, 1001
If, One year ago, someone told Olivia she would be wearing a crown and leading a kingdom, she would have laughed at their face. But destiny leads people in different ways, even the most unlikely ones.
The girl could only imagine the repercussions in England if a young girl who was barely fourteen assumed the throne. Oh, it wouldn't be pretty, though; definitely, an interesting idea to imagine what would happen.
Despite that, she had no time to think about her old world. Narnia was her home now, and she had gladly accepted that fact. Being Queen was a gift; pride and responsibility placed on her shoulders with dignity. Heavy is the crown you carry, was the saying of her grandfather.
The girl was rushing to the gardens, where she was already late for a lesson with Mr Tumnus and the beavers on Narnian formality and education. She had no idea what they would teach today, but she did not want to miss it.
With the two guarding fauns opening the main doors for the girl with the spear in her saddle and the bag across her shoulder, she rushed to the back, where she found Mr Tumnus, the Beavers, and the Pevensies, all awaiting her.
The girl gulped and sat down at the small picnic taking place there, a large red and white cloth spread on the grass with a brown basket in the middle.
" I had a few issues. " Olivia defended herself, smiling awkwardly and rubbing the back of her head.
" Let me guess, slept in? " Edmund added, startling the girl, for she had not realised she sat between him and Susan.
Olivia rolled her eyes playfully but nodded, meaning she had indeed slept late.
Olivia did not have a good night of sleep for a while now. The pressure of being a Queen was getting to her head. Not that she didn't like it! But everyone made mistakes, and she couldn't afford to make one; otherwise, it could risk the lives of her people. A child playing Queen.
The Pevensies seemed rather fine from what Olivia had noticed. Peter was the one who seemed worst, but that was only because he had the most responsibility of them all.
" Alright, now that we are all here, we may start today's lesson. " Mr Tumnus clapped his hands together excitedly. Today was going to be their first official lesson, and the faun had been remarkably eager for this moment.
Mrs Beaver seemed just as excited. " Today's lesson will start with Narnian etiquette. " She said, using her paws to open the basket and carefully bring out eight cups of tea. Each of the Kings and Queens grabbed one cup of tea, and the three Narnians did the same.
