Almost an hour passed............
Cerlesta was still with her aunt as she was asked to stay. Cerlesta had no idea what is she ever going to do, without Caspian. She wanted to go the professor but she waited until her uncle comes with news about her brother.
Suddenly the door of the suit was opened and as she expected, it was her uncle. She stood up from the sofa and greeted him with a slight smile.
"Uh, Cerlesta! What a surprise! Happy Birthday!" Miraz beamed.
"Thank you, uncle." She responded. Punaprismia shot him a glare, seeing Cerlesta uncomfortable at his cheering wish.
Miraz caught his wife's glance and turned to his niece, "Um...I see, you're upset over his departure. How could something like this happen to us all, especially to you on your birthday?" he said dramatic concern, unknown to Cery and his wife.
"Did you get any news about him?" asked Prunaprismia worriedly.
"Oh yes! And that's the another reason I'm here. I half expected I might find you here." He said, turning to Cerlesta.
"Did the guards found him?" Asked Cerlesta, loosing her patience on him to spit the details out.
"Not really, but I dearly hope... he's alive." He said. Cerlesta gasped loudly, tears picking her eyes.
"You mean...something has happened to him?" asked Prunaprismia in shock.
"No!" whispered Cerlesta as she moved her hand to her neck to squeeze her crystal pendant; a tear escaped from her eyes as she realized it isn't there. 'Oh brother!' her heart cried bitterly.
"Not sure yet," he said to his wife and turned to Cerlesta, "Your brother Caspian was abducted by Narnians." He said, his voice was hardened.
"N-Narnians?" Cerlesta asked in utter confusion +shock +surprise, "But..how? They are supposed to be extinct, aren't they?"
"Yes, you're right my dear, but I'm afraid some of them survived and their generations lived and are living here in Narnia, unknown to us." Said Miraz.
"And you're saying they kidnapped Caspian? But why would they do that? I mean..what has Caspian ever done to them?" she asked, fighting to believe this strange thing about Narnians.
"That's what I'm not getting. But you see, we have proofs. You would have noticed the torn curtain of Caspian's bed, haven't you?" Miraz asked.
Cerlesta gasped slightly as she remembered the torn curtain, "Yes I have, but how can we be firmly sure that Narnians did this?" Cerlesta asked still struggling to believe.
"You said we have 'proofs', the torn curtain is only one, is there another one too?" asked Prunaprismia.
"Yes love, we have. General and his men have found a fierce creature, a Narnian fairytale creature. A creature called 'red dwarf'." Said Miraz.
"A red dwarf?" breathed Cerlesta.
"I see, you know it." Said Miraz in an annoying tone.
Cerlesta bit her lips nervously.
"Then where is it now?" asked Prunaprismia.
"Well, I brought him to the counsel before the lords and then sent him with two soldiers to exile him, to drown him in a river, far." He said.
Cerlesta covered her mouth in shock. "I know this day has started with a lot of shocking news for you. I'm afraid I have one more, which you should know Cerlesta; I have thrown your dearest professor to the dungeon because I believe, he has something to do with Caspian's missing. And I forbid you from visiting him in the dungeon." he demanded in harsh voice, to which Cerlesta wasn't familiar.
