[The Chronicles of Narnia] Sin

The sound of seagulls was heard, the airflow in the room was gentle and cool, and a few rays of morning light shone obliquely on the girl's bed.

Edith opened her eyes.

After adapting to the glare of the sun, the outline of the black-haired youth in front of him gradually became clear.The first time she saw the king clearly, she struggled to sit up and wanted to salute: "Yourmajesty..."

Her throat was so dry that even such a simple syllable was broken.King Justice gently held her shoulders, shook his head and signaled her to lie down.

Edith still felt very nervous, because she was facing not only one of the four rulers of Narnia at this time, but also the object she mistakenly thought of as a mountain god two years ago and casually touched and teased.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were..." She tried to sit up again, but found that her lower abdomen was sore and weak, and took a breath of cold air with a "hiss".

"Lucy's potion can only heal the wound, but cannot eliminate the remaining pain." Edmund handed her a pillow and explained, "As for two years ago... I believe that any normal person would not think that the King of Narnia It is possible to appear alone in the naval port of Archenland in the middle of the night."

With the king's assistance, Edith found an angle where she could lean on the pillow stably, and looked around her surroundings.This is a magnificently decorated room displaying many royal standard items.The huge floor-to-ceiling windows are facing the calm and endless blue sea, which makes people feel very happy; the deep red velvet quilt on the body is soft and comfortable, and the fine and dense fluff feels like lying in the clouds.

"This is the room used by Kyle Paravel to receive foreign female guests." The Justice King seemed to have the ability to read minds, and answered her questions in time.

"I'm sorry to take the room in the palace..." Edith said hastily.

King Justice frowned indistinctly.He remembered that two years ago, this heroic, forthright and hot-tempered soldier was not the cautious and apologetic look he is now.

"How is the war? Have we won?" The girl thought of the most critical question.

"Ah."

Edmund replied briefly, without any intention of continuing.The atmosphere in the room was a little frozen.

"Do you have other government affairs to be busy..." Edith began to wonder if she had taken up too much of the other party's time, and wanted to end the deadlock.

"It's been a week since the war—so I'm not too busy now." Realizing that he was too indifferent just now, King Justice squeezed a consoling smile at her.

What?One week!Edith was completely taken aback. "I've been in a coma for so long...the Archenland army, are they still in Narnia?!"

"No."

"Then I—" Her startled words were interrupted by the other party:

"You are no longer with the Archenland Fleet, Edith Onassis."

Edmund called her by her name very nicely, which effectively weakened the impact on Edith.But in an instant, the girl's movements still stopped.

"You are now a 'Shadow' with no identity. And that 'Edith' has already died while assassinating the fourth prince of Calormen, Youtus."

After thinking carefully for a long time, Edith finally understood Edmund's intention of arranging her suspended animation: the Calormenes would not allow a small Archenland private who successfully assassinated the royal family to live in this world.Only by changing his identity and hiding his name, can he live in safety without causing innocent disasters.

"This is my idea and Peter's - you have been in a coma, we have to decide for you. King Lun will also keep this secret for us." The Justice King got up from the bed and straightened the folds of his cuffs. "Breakfast will be delivered later, and there will be maids to help serve it. I still have important things to do, so I can't stay here any longer. I wish you a speedy recovery."

Before Edith figured everything out, the young man had closed the door and disappeared behind it.

After King Justice left, Edith fell asleep again in a daze on the bed.The chaotic battle that day almost cost her her life, and she was almost "picked up" by Queen Lucy, who was bleeding profusely from her wound and dying.

Edmund wasn't much better at the time, but he managed to stay conscious.When Lucy was about to use the potion for him, he insisted that his sister heal the lady next to him first.

"She's the one who helped retrieve the potion, you know that, Lou?"

Lucy handled the wound deftly, full of doubts.When she turned around to ask more questions, the exhausted and seriously injured king had already passed out.

Edith's sleep was not sweet.Her sleeping face was tense and heavy, her thin lips were tightly pursed, and her brows were slightly wrinkled.

In the darkness, a few pairs of messy footsteps followed her closely.Edith spread her legs and ran forward.She ran faster and faster, faster... even soaring into the air.The girl desperately alternated her legs in the air, while the pursuer behind her was getting closer.

Finally, she heard the sound of the cold weapon being unsheathed, and turned around quickly——

A long silver sword engraved with Aslan's head pierced straight into her chest.

No!She panted fiercely with her mouth open, and the ruptured lung cavity could no longer supply her with any oxygen...

"You can't go back, Grosse's daughter."

Accompanied by the whispers of prey in her ears and a strong sense of suffocation, she suddenly woke up.

The blue outside the window is so peaceful.

The midday sun was warm and blazing, hitting his face so hot that it was a little hot.

A girl in a dark green long dress and elegantly dressed opened the door and presented her with a tray full of exquisite food.

"Ms. Edith, you are finally awake."

"Did I miss breakfast?" Edith rubbed her aching temple.

"It's already two o'clock in the afternoon. You haven't eaten a drop of water for a week. The King of Justice told us that once you wake up, you must prepare mild food."

"……thanks."

The maid helped Edith to sit down, and placed all the meals on the low table in front of her.

It was the best lunch Edith had seen in "two lifetimes".The appetizer was green apples with red wine foie gras. The sweet and sour taste and a small amount of red wine to warm the stomach successfully aroused her taste buds after several days of downtime. The second soup was a small bowl of classic creamy mushrooms, which tasted unexpectedly light. The mushrooms are finely chopped, and they exude a mellow milky fragrance after the taste; the side dish is steamed scallops, although there are only three, the meat is white and plump, dipped in a plate of unnamed but rich and delicious seafood sauce.

After eating here, Edith already felt the fullness of her lower abdomen.Her food intake is not small, but the long-term contracted stomach obviously needs more time to adapt.

The main course should be other meats, but due to Edith's special situation, it was replaced with lemon fried salmon with vegetable and fruit salad.Edith didn't dare to neglect Narnia's gracious hospitality, so she ate a small portion for a token, and turned directly to the final dessert—she was a sweet tooth.

Mango and Raspberry Mousse Cup, the color of half yellow and half purple is very attractive.The fruity fragrance fades between the lips and teeth, without any greasy stickiness.Originally, Edith ate it with a small spoonful of spoonfuls, but she didn't expect that she would be incapable of resisting delicious food. She ate it faster and faster, and ate up the whole cup of cake in the blink of an eye.

The maid Afreira stood aside with a smile on her face, waiting for the lady to drink the last cup of hot black tea, put away the tableware and leave the room: "I will always be waiting outside the door, please call me if you need anything."

Edith ate to her heart's content, and felt sleepy again in a blink of an eye.

God, I literally live like a pig.she thought in a daze.

But then, she lay back on the bed without any guilt—anyway, no one would care what a lonely soul was doing!

This time, her sleep became more solid.
