Let’s go to Caspian who now (on the same day of what happened with Cerlesta on last chapter) met with the Pevensies and are on their way to Aslan’s How.

“Well, it’s good you have troops, but we need some fortifications. Somewhere to train.” Said Peter to Caspian as they walked to the How.

Susan and Edmund followed them right behind while Lucy was behind them, Tumpkin, Trufflehunter and Nikabrik with Reepicheep. The rest of the Narnians were behind them.

“Of course, King Peter, we have a whole field enough for the training. You’ll get it when we reach there.” Said Caspian.

“Hey just call me Peter, let’s cut off that ‘majesty-like nonsense’.” Grinned Peter.

“But –” Caspian started.

“No ‘buts’. I better not catch you calling me that again.” Threatened Peter playfully.

“Then the same goes with the three of us too.” Susan agreed.

“Alright, but it’s really hard to accept and use.” Said Caspian.

“That’s fine, you’ll find yourself getting used to that.” Said Edmund.

“So how long have you been here with the Narnians?” asked Peter.

“Today is the third day,” said Caspian. There was a touch of sadness in his voice which was unable for others to find other than the Gentle Queen.

“You have a sister, right? Named….” Susan trailed off remembering her name.

“Princess Cerlesta!” Edmund said as soon as Susan trailed off.

Caspian mentally froze. His eyes widened in shock and surprise at the mention of her name. He turned his head back to the Just King and the Gentle Queen with disbelief,

“Yes but how...do you know that? I mean, about I have a sister and her name.”

“We met her in Beruna yesterday almost at noon- evening time before we crossed the gorge to here.” Explained Edmund.

“And she told us, you’re her brother.” Said Susan.

“Wait, Cerlesta in Beruna? But how?” he asked, probably to himself.

“She said she came there with her uncle who wanted to check on the bridge’s work.” Said Peter.

“She never goes with Miraz anywhere.” Caspian murmured.

“She said she came along for some purposes. She even asked us that do we have you kidnapped –” Edmund was cut off.

“Kidnapped?” asked Caspian with a grin of disbelief. “What made her ask like…oh maybe that’s how she’s been told. Did she get you? As the old heroes?”

“No, we were about to reach there but someone called her and she had to go.” Said Susan.

“I say, Caspian, your sister was really wonderful. I mean she’s very friendly, honest, loyal, faithful and so good to trust. Why, as soon as she saw our DLF, (“He mean Trumpkin.” Susan translated the nickname to Caspian.) she understood that we are Narnians! And was so pleased to meet us and said that we are not safe here because of her uncle. Also promised that she’ll not tell this to anybody.” Said Edmund.

“That’s her. Please, will you tell me all what she said about me?” asked Caspian.

“Of course,” said Susan and told him all they had in their mind from their conversation with her.

Caspian sighed, “I shouldn’t have left her behind. Yesterday was her 14th birthday. I had so many outdoor plans to make her day better but it has ruined all because of me.”
