We could marry, if we wished. Narnia can survive with one ruler, at the least.

[ But their circumstances were special, in a sense. Edmund has no way of explaining it, other than that they were tasked to rule together. ]

Though I'm more than certain that only one of us has real wish to. [ His smile is full of good-natured humor, sheepish. ] My elder sister, Susan, had suitors lined up at her feet from lands even beyond the Eastern Ocean, though she'd been keen on a prince from the southern lands. The two of us traveled south in order to meet him, and see if marriage would be suitable for them.

Really?

[ it seems like an interesting tale, and it's the first time Edmund has spoken of his siblings by name, something that catches her attention even more. ]

What happened once you reached the south?

[exonerated]

I had a feeling, and not a very good one.

[ Edmund has learned to trust his gut, when it comes to people, and it often pays off. ]

You know, suitors — when they step into your territory, they are respectful and kind, they show the very best of themselves in order to win another's affection. It's typical, of course, to want something so terribly that you would do anything to get it, including pretending to be something you are not.

Though I find that you see a man as he truly is, once you are in his home, playing by his rules. As much as the prince wanted my sister, [ And Edmund has real doubts that he wanted her that badly to begin with; perhaps he'd been blinded by her beauty, but nothing more ] he wanted our kingdom even more.
