"Many boys will bring you flowers

"Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart."
- Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows











Narnia, 1008

Olivia's coronation as ruler of the stars earned fame.

When she returned to Cair Paravel the following day, the Pevensies were already aware of everything that had happened. Another title had been added to her name, and things finally seemed to fit back into place. She was another person.

Olivia wasn't so ashamed of using the cane anymore. It was a symbol of her victory, and she wore it with pride. Her fears were no longer in control of her, but she was in control of them; she could either allow her fears to dominate her or for her to dominate them.

For two more years, her life had been a fantasy. She and Edmund would sneak around, keeping their relationship a secret and spending a magical amount of time together. Their love was blooming, and she would fall increasingly over him every day. Edmund was absolutely lost in her blue eyes; Olivia was the head of his best dreams and memories.

Her abilities with weapons were only getting better. Edmund had participated in a tournament between Kingdoms of swordsmanship and won. He deserved his new title: the best swordsman in all the countries.

Every night, Olivia and the centaurs would go to the Western woods and watch the sky and stars, for she had the ability to read the stars, something no human ever had before.

Life was... perfect. Magical.

On a calm morning after breakfast, Olivia had an empty day. The Queen rushed to the library, for she missed reading. It was her favourite habit.

It was sensational how the library of Cair Paravel seemed to have everything, for she had even found Shakespeare's Hamlet there one day. It had Narnian books and some from her world, and it was a way to maintain contact with her past reality.

She grabbed one book, another Shakespeare, and opened it. No longer than five minutes after, she felt strong arms wrap around her and the presence of someone behind her.

"Is that... Shakespeare?"

"Yes, it is."

Olivia turned around, facing a cheeky Edmund with a bright smile. The boy looked around, seeing if they were alone, and leaned in for a kiss.

Edmund smiled against her lips, and Olivia giggled. "Someone's happy today." She told him.

"You want to play chess?" He asked eagerly.

"You just love your new gold chess set, don't you?"

"Maybe."

That earned a laugh out of Olivia. "I want to read, but I'll play with you another time." She responded, pressing another kiss to his lips.
