The Chronicles of Narnia- the Royals Return

Choices

Lucy's PoV.
The room was full of important looking people. I didn't know half of them. Big oak chairs surrounded the round table. It reminds me of the table in the fairytale that they tells us at school, about Arthur and his Knights at the round table. I glided towards the table many people stopping me to talk. I didn't know any of them, but I nodded politely and agreed with most of their  solemn opinions.  Finally I reach the table.

However, I realised I had no where to sit, or to be more precise, I didn't know where to sit.
"You know, you can sit where ever you want." I turned around to see a sandy hairs boy, around my age, leaning against a pole. He had a red apple in his hand.
"And you would know because?" I questioned, placing my hands on my hips.
"Well, I work here. So, I would hope I would know, or else no one would." He walked forward, looking like he was about to walk past me. He stopped. "You look hungry." He gave me the apple, before walking on.

I stood there for a long time. How dear he speak to me like that, how dare he not speak to me with respect. An what was with the apple. I hastened to place it in a pocket before going back to my hazed state.

"Lue?" Peter placed a hand on my shoulder "come one it's time for the meeting to start." He lead me to a spare seat next to him and Susan. After anyone had sat down Caspian stood up.

Caspian PoV
"Knights, lords. And ladies. We have put it off to long. We must face the fact that the white witch is back. Due to recent events, not only have we grown stronger, but we have a reason to fight. Princess Emily was taken my the witch. We must get her back. However, the people in Narnia have a choice. Though I am king, we must decide together how we deal with this. Therefore we must vote. Each person at this table will vote for the idea after each idea was put forward." There were nods around the table, I think I was doing a good job "lets start with the first plan, Peter?." He stood up a and cleared his throat before beginning his preposterous.
"I preposes that a small group of soldiers travel over to the witches hideout and rescue the princess." "Thank you Peter " I nodded. It was a decent plan and his point was short and simple. He's a good lad.
"Woh, wait." I turned to see Charlie, a sandy haired stable boy, came into the light "king, Caspian if I may?" He asked leaning against the back of Lucy's chair.
"Of course, Charlie." I nod. His ideas are normally good. I would knight him but he is only 14. So to help him get a better sense of the castle I gave him the stable boy job.
"Thank you, your highness. King Peter, I couldn't help but notice that you do not know where the princess is."
"But she is in the White witches castle, of course."
"But where is that, and where is she with on that. If you take few men, which is most wise, then it will not only take hours to search the castle, but days to find it. I think before we just ahead and save her, we should know where she is."

Lucy's PoV
He was presenting a good point. But this table only has three girls around it, then men peters age. I wanted my voice to be heard.
" Charlie, isn't it." I question, in my nieces point
"Yes," he said rather rudely
"Well, I have been in close proximity to the former white witch, i know what she has done. And personally, i believe we don't need to know where she is, or where the witch is, we need to trust Aslan. We need to trust Emily. Without her, we wouldn't have defeated the sea serpent. We wouldn't have defeated the darkness. We are all think that she is a damsel in distress, but she isn't. She is a knight in shining armour." I look around to see everyone staring at me and peter had sat down, however Charlie was the boy who caught my eye as his wide blue eyes were so prominent in my eye line. Caspian motioned for me to stand up, so in the silence I stood up, trailing the chair legs on the floor. You know that annoying scraping sound of when the teacher points you out and shamefully you have to stand up. " so, if I may make a proposal; I think we should leave it for a few days. Let the new people here settle in and then we trust Aslan to lead the way to the hideout. Then we will find Emily. But I strongly believe she will find us." I finished and sat back down on the hard oak chair.
"Dose any one have an argument with queen Lucy's idea?" No one spoke up, I could she Charlie muttering 'queen Lucy?' under his breath. He obviously didn't know I was a queen, or a queen of old. "Well then, we shall leave it two day before we send a search party out then, of a few men, who volunteer. Thank you for you time knights, until the next time." People began to get up from their chairs. Caspian took Susan outside to the garden. Witch I know is so romantic but I don't know what they are going to happen with them, but I knew they were made for each other. I knew I really wanted that.

Charlie's PoV
She was a queen. The queen. Queen Lucy the valiant. I was star struck. Not only was she beautiful, sassy and intelligent, she was a queen. I guess that mean I have no shot with her. I am merely a stable boy.
"You there, Charlie?" I turned out of my day dream to she a tall blonde haired man with a stubble beard. He advance towards me slowly, each stride double mine.
"Yes you majesty?"
"How old are you?"
"14"
"Umm... That's the same age as my youngest sister."
"Queen Lucy?"
"Yes, well, will you join the brave soldiers going to find her or are you all talk and no walk?" He laughed
"If it comes to that and we do send a party, I will be joining, if Caspian will let me."
"Why wouldn't he" we began to walk done the corridor. At the end lie the castle grounds.
"I think, he think that I am too young. I'm a orphan. Both my parents died battling the Talmarines 10 years ago. I was alone for a long time, pick pocketing to fed myself and other street children. I got caught by the king, he took me in and trained me. Well after a few months of not trusting him and a few attempts at murder. But he really changed me and I owe him a lot. I don't knew where I, or the other street children would be with out him. Unfortunately a lot of children are made orphans by war."
"Your really smart, you and Lucy would get on so well." I let out a short laugh "what's so funny?"
"Well, I think I was rather rude to you sister during that meeting. And I may have seemed..." I stopped searching for the right word.
"Self centred, aragonite, obnoxious?" We both turned to see Lucy standing behind us. She had changed into her nigh cloths. Her long wavy hair reaching the small of her back. She looked stunning and beautiful. I wondered if anyone had ever told her how beautiful she was?"Any world you want to add?" She asked placing her hands on her hips.
"No, that pretty much it. Thanks" I smile at her. Her exactions was one of anger and hatred but I could detect a hint of laughter.
"Well, I must be getting on. Lucy, how would you feel about a horse ride with me tomorrow. A chance to catch up?" His suggested, this lead her to smile and nod happily. "Good ip shall see you tomorrow." He went and hugged her, kissing her forehead.
"Goodnight Peter."
"Night Lue, ill see you tomorrow Charlie." He winked and gave a small nod towards Lucy. I was confused at first and realised. He wanted me to get to know Lucy. It's not every day that a girls brother give a guys permission before the guy even asks.
"Queen Lucy."
"It's Lucy."
"what?"
"It's Lucy, just Lucy."
"Well, just Lucy. Would you like to come to the library with me. I know quite a few good books there and I'm intrigued to know whether you would want to come with me?"

I know. I left it on a cliff hanger and it's super long but I have been writing in the car while traveling from Canada to New York. It's a 7 hour drive and I only have half an hours left. Leave a comment if you like Charlie of not. I love him. He is going to be very cocky and basically like Augusts waters. (😁😢😔😣😨😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😢😔😓😒😅😇) anyways. I hope you enjoyed and I will try my best to update soon, plus I am re doing my book (is Hogwarts in my blood just for my friend AAnaarquesPereira I love you girl and hope that your new house is amazing.
