Genevieve's POV
I turned five years old today and mummy and daddy said they had a special birthday present for me.
I was sure to let them sleep more today, I don't want a repeat of Mummy trying to kill Uncle Pete like the last time I woke her up early.
I don't know why she doesn't like Uncle Pete. He's my favorite (and only) uncle. He lets me do things that mummy and daddy don't. Maybe that's why, who knows?
He gave me my first toy sword! Then got mad when dad told me to hit him with it, but oh well.
Anyways, back to my birthday present. Mummy told me that I had to get dressed in the nice green dress we'd picked out last night then meet her and daddy outside the throne room. I'm a big girl now so I got dressed all by myself.
Daddy and I both like green so most of my clothes and things have green in them. Even my first baby blanket was green. Daddy kept it in his chest in the treasure room when I grew out of needing it. He thinks mummy and I didn't notice, but I did. I know he loves me and mummy a lot. Auntie Lulu says he never used to smile as much as he does when he's with us.
I know mummy loves me and daddy too. Whenever she's mad, we're the only ones who can calm her down.
I love my family, my mummy, my daddy, my aunties and my uncle, but sometimes I get bored when they have to do their royal jobs. I wish I had someone around my age to play with.
Mummy's been acting kinda funny lately. She skips breakfast most days and she doesn't play with me as much as she used to.
But today is going to be different! She promised that since it's my birthday, she and daddy would put aside their jobs to celebrate with me.
I raced through the halls in my brand new dress. I feel so pretty with it on. I almost ran over our head cook, a pretty nymph named Estella.
"Woah there princess, what's your hurry?"
"Stella! Mummy has a surprise for me for my birthday! I'm five today," I told her proudly.
"Oh, you're so grown up," she smiled at me. "Well I won't keep you any longer, be sure to stop by with your parents afterwards for your birthday cake from the kitchen staff."
"Okay! Bye!"
I reached the throne room a little later and tackled my dad in a hug. He told me to be careful with mummy lately so I hug her more gently.
"Are you ready for your surprise, angel?" Dad asked.
"Yeah!" I said excitedly.
Mummy and daddy took my hands and led me through the doors into the throne room. I gasped when I saw all the Narnians gathered around watching us enter. Mummy gave me a reassuring smile and daddy squeezed my hand lightly.
