We all bow as the reigning middle-aged Queen of England, Elizabeth III, greets us. 

"Marius! Oh my you're so grown!"

 She pulls Mari into a tight hug and he introduces us. 

"I know. Last time we met in person I was only what? Thirteen?" He giggles and she hold him at an arm's length, looking him up and down. 

"I wanted to give my personal condolences for Peter's death. He was a unique man who was loved by all and touched so many lives. It looks like he raised a beautiful son who will continue his legacy in the same right." She says and Mari smiles. 

"Yes your majesty," He bows quickly and turns to us. 

"Ah Prince Finley, I've heard you have quite the reputation," She says and for the first time since we've been here, Fin blushes.

"Ah, yes but I'm turning a new leaf, so to speak." He says politely. 

It was so weird to see him not being a complete ass for once. 

"And this is?" She turns to me and Mari quickly puts an arm around me. 

"Ah, this is my significant other. Jamie Caspian."

 The queen holds out her hand and I gently kiss it. 

"What a gentleman. You've got yourself a beautiful man here Mr. Caspian. Don't spoil it." she says with a gentle smile and I nod. Embarrassed by my stupid sounding American accent. 

"Now Prince Marius, please tell me how the rest of the Grayson family is doing these days,"
