as king, edmund had his fair share of responsibilities. sometimes that included visiting other lands in an effort to form a treaty or a trade with those lands to help benefit narnia. usually, susan was the one to travel and negotiate with the other lands; she was much better at bartering than the rest of the pevensies. today she was meant to visit archenland, one of the closest allies, to re-negotiate a treaty the country seemed unfair. she was ill, however, and because her trip was already planned, edmund was forced to go in her place.

he didn't really mind the travelling; being cooped up in the castle for months at a time wasn't healthy by any means, and he did enjoy the sight seeing he got to witness on trips like these. besides, archenland wasn't too far of a travel, and he was sure getting out and visiting the land would be good for him. the travels passed much quicker than he anticipated, and soon enough, he arrived at the castle.

you were in your room, preparing for the arrival of queen susan of narnia. you had met her before, and the two of you had become quite close friends. you were excited to see her again, and put on your most casual gown. you were assigned to collect susan and bring her to her room, and help her adjust into your kingdom. though you were a princess, you told your father that you would much prefer to be the one to help and to spend time with an old friend. he hesitantly agreed, knowing you had never been one for traditional 'princess' stereotypes.

you glanced in the mirror, satisfied with your appearance. you skipped through the halls, eager to meet her at the entryway. "your majesty!" you heard behind you, and you turned, smiling as you saw your lady-in-waiting, hannah, running towards you. "hannah, what have i told you about titles?" you scolded, shaking your head. she apologized, taking a second to catch her breath. "we've just received word from queen susan. she will not be attending the meetings due to her being ill. instead, her younger brother, king edmund will be visiting." she explained, and your smile dropped.

you hadn't met edmund yet, nor any of the rest of susan's siblings. from what she'd told you though, edmund was going to be the hardest one to impress. he took his responsibilities a little too seriously (according to susan's exact words) and lacked having fun. you smiled, an idea forming in your head. you were going to give him the most fun experience in archenland you could possibly give him. "thank you hannah, you're free to go." you dismissed her, and she gave a small curtsy before scurrying off.

you made your way through the large doors, being just in time for the arrival of the carriage the young king rode in. you took a deep breath, smiling warmly and walking over, waiting patiently for the carriage to stop and for him to exit. after a moment, the door was opened by the driver, and you watched as the younger king stepped out, his eyes scanning the beautiful land that was your home, your jaw almost dropped. there he stood, raven hair messily styled on his head and beautiful brown eyes that held curiosity and an air of fascination. freckles littered the bridge of his nose and cheeks, and you were sure you had never seen someone so.. beautiful. why hadn't susan cared to mention her brother was so attractive??

you finally snapped out of your stupor as the king's eyes finally landed on you, you throwing on a bright smile and walking over, curtsying as you arrived in front of him. "my liege. it is my greatest honour to have you visiting our kingdom." you spoke politely, your head still bowed and hidden from sight. "rise." he ordered, though his tone was soft and welcoming. you did as told, the smile never once faltering. "my name is y/n, should you need anything during your stay here, please report to me." he nodded, reaching into the cart and handing you his bags. you blinked, but didn't comment and took them anyways. you were sure he meant no harm by the action and figured it was better not to say anything.
