[The Chronicles of Narnia] Sin

Edmund knew what Peter would say.Edith saw that the two brothers were calm and breezy, and she was too embarrassed to be serious.The three sat in a secluded garden pavilion, surrounded by a beautiful autumn scenery.

"Relax, I didn't come to ask about the relationship between you," the Supreme King patted his younger brother's shoulder after the tea waiter stepped back, "I'm just curious about one thing..." He turned to Edith, "Why, are you so loyal to Narnia?"

This is a unique secret between King Justice and Compass, even Lucy doesn't know it.

Edith was hesitating whether to tell her story, and Edmund was the first to cover it for her: "We'd better not know those things," he said, "it won't do any harm, just like Aslan told us eight years ago. I'm hiding something like that."

"Aslan?" Peter couldn't help chuckling, he thought the girl in front of him was completely incomparable with Aslan.

"This is a wrong metaphor," Edith also said awkwardly, "It is obvious that His Majesty the Justice King was confused just now."

For Edmund, the people who came from Narnia after 1300 and lived in the original world of Pevensey at the same time are definitely a miracle, but it is a pity that he cannot share this miracle with anyone—in order to make the world Stable and normal operation.Thinking of this, he curled his lips: "Yes, I was confused."

The Justice King would not admit defeat easily on weekdays.Peter looked at Edith without any trace, hoping to find something unusual about her.The girl was a little more mature than in previous memories, her facial features were light and airy, and with her short cut hair, she looked more like a clean boy.It's hard to imagine that such a person is an assassin who holds the lives of two key people in his hands, cuts his throat mercilessly, and at the same time makes his suspicious and reserved brother open up to her.

"Okay," the Supreme King picked up the exquisite porcelain cup in front of him, and took a sip of rose tea, "I respect your little secret. But as a brother, there is one thing I must know - what are your plans for the future?"

Edith felt bad.To tell the truth, neither Ed nor she wanted to talk about marriage, but after the incident in August, rumors spread everywhere among the people and abroad. If they didn't announce the truth earlier, they might damage the people's trust in the monarch.You must know that in the civilization of the Narnia world, there is no such thing as free love. In other words, there are many monarchs who are engaged in teenagers.

"I want to delay as long as possible..." Edith hesitated for a while, and then summoned up her courage to say, "That's why I came to see Ed today. I'm not ready to enter the court yet."

"We're talking about January," Edmund said to his brother, and then he turned to Ittie. "You want to put it off?"

Edith looked at the brothers, wondering whether to nod.

Peter suddenly laughed: "You two little adults, you really worry a lot." After a little thought, he guessed what they were struggling with, "Don't be so concerned about the opinions of the outside world, we are different from those countries; Feelings, confession is affection, not confession is right. Besides, I haven't found a brother yet, so I can serve as a shield for you."

The other two suddenly became enlightened.

"You look so cowardly." Edmund suddenly taunted Edith, "You weren't so humble when you first met me?"

"Then you have to find the reason from yourself." After receiving the aggressive signal, Edith instantly revealed her true nature, "There is only one 'Supreme King', why not you, don't you know?"

"Hey, don't use this to pressure me," the Justice King said bluntly, "You haven't been scolded enough a year ago, have you?"

"Then who is begging for my forgiveness in the end?"

"That's because you're barely half a lady..."

"Stop being sexist!"

……

The Supreme King looked helplessly at the two children who were arguing on the opposite side, unable to get in a word.He finally understood why the two of them were able to lock each other as partners so quickly - there were not many people with both brains and mouths who were naturally aggressive.

There are not many enemies left in Narnia, only one Ramandra who has lost his allies is wandering around the world, not knowing what he is planning.To be honest, the Narnians didn't do much. It was mainly because of problems within their alliance that the power of several parties was not balanced enough, and the Calormenes often humiliated Taylor, which led to the situation of rebellion.

The executives of the intelligence bureaus scattered all over the country are constantly recording the movements of Ramanjo, and the King of Justice always conveys the information he has obtained to Peter. The increasingly dense intelligence network ensures the stability and security of the country.The four Pevensies didn't really mature until this time, and Narnia really entered the golden age in every sense.

In the days of gradually recovering, some episodes often appeared, such as Edith complaining to Edmund about the overdeveloped imagination of the gossipers in the castle, such as Fryer's pranks and the use of Saknur's full moon night to cross the catastrophe The iron chain is hidden. Another example is that Susan tried so hard to get Peter to marry Princess Telma but ended in failure.Among the many incidents, this is the most shocking one - at the beginning of October, Mona the cedar tree spirit and Elvis the magician both disappeared.

"Eloped?" Everyone's first reaction was this.

"El really has a way..." Only the Justice King missed the point and praised his technique of flirting with girls.

"Why, want to learn?" Edith, who came to deliver the documents, looked gloomy.

"Just kidding," Edmund said sternly, "but I always feel that this is a bit strange..."

Edith also frowned: "Mona doesn't seem like someone who would suddenly let go of work, and Elvis shouldn't leave without saying goodbye...it's really strange."

After another three days, there was still no news of the two of them, as if they had vanished from the land of Narnia, and no records of their passage were found at the border crossing.Everyone started to get a little anxious, but they didn't know what they could do.Edith's sleep was peaceful for a few days, and strange images began to flash again.She couldn't help thinking of the last December prophecy, and the fact that there were no records of queens in the Golden Age.

Is Elvis really alive?Was it really Aslan who restored his sight?An extremely terrifying idea gradually entangled in my heart...

·

Sharon's wedding invitation was sent to Cair Paravel Castle as scheduled.This time, Peter made a very clever arrangement——

"Me?" After the parliament adjourned, the justice king who was abruptly pulled over looked bewildered.

"Narnia owes her a great deal this time, and you should at least thank her in person."

Edmund raised his eyebrows: "What about you, don't you need to thank you in person?"

The Supreme King cleared his throat and coughed twice: "I just went to Tribinia three months ago, and the Supreme King ran out so often, it is easy to cause misunderstanding."

"Besides," he changed the subject, "Sharon loved you a lot at that time, but you ignored her and didn't show up for any engagements or marriages. It seemed too arrogant."

"Understood—" Edmund said in a long voice, "You can always find hundreds of reasons to send me to work. Do you think I don't know? Those little calculations of 'Snowman Princess' a year ago."

"Then you went to Susan and cried?"

King Justice rolled his eyes: "The play that should be performed still needs to be performed."

Peter straightened his mind, and said again: "Has Edith not seen Sharon yet? You can take her with you when you go."

Edith had saved Sharon's life, but she had never set foot in the inner palace at that time, so the two never met formally; and Sharon and Elias jointly created the false identity of Countess Elias, allowing Edith Given the opportunity to personally kill the enemy, the two have a long relationship.

Edmund was a little surprised, but quickly accepted it happily: "You are preparing an 'island honeymoon' for me... It's hard to believe that this is something the Supreme King, who is always busy with his daily affairs, would do."

Peter was used to his younger brother's teasing, and told him to be cautious when choosing Edith's declared identity, and then rushed to the next meeting.

·

After more than a year, Edith suddenly regained the various military ranks and merits she had given up.When visiting the island, she used the identity of "Captain of Narnia Special Forces", neither high nor low, and she would not be embarrassed to stand beside the King of Justice.Both of them are introverted to the outside world, they don't seem to be intimate at all, they only have the manners of monarchs and ministers.

"You are Edith, the assassin who succeeded in assassinating Taylor?" In the queen's private living room, Sharon looked at her with admiration.

"With the cooperation of many comrades in arms." Edith replied humbly.

"Ed told me you saved my life. I don't know how to thank you."

Edith was not good at responding to such warm and straightforward gratitude, and also had an instinctive awe of the king of a country, so she could only sit on the small sofa and laugh awkwardly.

Edmund said for her, "That's easy to say. When she gets married in the future, you can go to Narnia to see her. Wouldn't it be a favor?"

"When?" Sharon revealed the eccentricity of a little girl, "I really didn't expect that the seemingly taciturn King Justice would surpass his elder brother in terms of emotional progress."

Edith gave Edmund a reproachful look. Why is this man so uncharacteristically trembling at everything?

"Don't worry, I'm definitely trustworthy," Sharon saw her worry and explained, "In fact, I have always regarded Ed as my younger brother. You can tell from the names I call him. At that time, I deliberately pestered him. I had no choice but to choose a stupid way.”

"You also know that's a stupid way..." Edmund complained.The two obviously haven't seen each other for nearly a year, but they are not as unfamiliar as before, probably because their minds are more mature, and they both have a clear understanding of each other's emotional destination.

"The future is still far away, and no one knows if there will be any changes." Edith thought about Elvis's affairs and said vaguely, "But once the date is fixed, His Majesty will be notified as soon as possible. "

Queen Sharon's wedding went smoothly, but as soon as Edmund returned to his residence, he saw the secret letter lying by the window sill.The envelope was stamped with Narnia's highest-ranking wax seal, which was kept in the Supreme King's office all year round, and it was unique.

He frowned, opened the letter——

A resident of a talking beast in the northwest border turned into petrified strangely last night, and the surrounding residents were startled.

jantis.

Could it be her?It was the witch who ran away last year, and the remaining half of her staff...

He threw the letter into the burning fireplace and began to arrange all the matters for the return voyage.

·

The "Windbreaker" was already the fastest royal ship in Narnia, but the anxious King Justice wanted to let it fly directly on the deck that was slightly shaken by the high speed.

"Are you sure it's petrification magic?" Edith hurried to the bow and leaned against the railing with him.

"Peter has already gone to see it in person, it's Jandis's method that's right."

Edith had read many history books during the first two months in Narnia, and knew all kinds of magical records by heart.The only witch who can use petrification magic has been found so far is Jantis.

November.Another prelude to the war.

Edith is not the kind of foresight and thoughtful character, she just likes to look at the present and live every minute she has.But the warning from the Prophet of Red Island has been haunting her heart for more than half a year, and the feeling that the disaster is approaching but powerless makes her extremely painful.The fire in August, even though she obstructed it in every possible way, still happened as scheduled; and whether there is an inescapable inevitability in the unknown December...

"Have you found out about Elvis?" she asked.

Edmund stared at her, shaking his head.

"I always feel that you are not very optimistic recently," he said suspiciously. "You and I, and what you said to Sharon... always make people feel that you know something."

Edith turned her back to feel the sea breeze. "No, I don't know anything. Maybe all the causes and effects are all human beings' self-ingenuity; the world can only rely on the accumulation of facts."

"Let's get married at once," she said suddenly, turning around, "before the end of autumn. No engagement."
