Hi Alice!!! I just read your Edmund and Caspian friendship hc and loved it! And I was just wondering if you have some hc's about Edmund's infamous suitors? We always see Susan with her suitors but not so much as Ed with his :) Thanks â€ïž
Hehe, thank you!!! And yesssss, oh my gosh, can you imagine?Â
Edmundâs first suitor appeared when he was only twelveÂ
He had a bit of a growth spurt, and puberty was starting to hit
And he caught the eye of this princess who was 11Â
There was only a year difference, but she had a hopeless crush on him
She would follow him around EVERYWHEREÂ
During important meetings, she would attend despite not having the need to just to stare at EdmundÂ
Edmund didnât actually know what was up until he told Peter how this girl was creeping him out, and Peter just laughedÂ
He told Edmund exactly what was happening, and Edmund had never turned so red from embarrassmentÂ
Thankfully, Peter was more in the spotlight and his next suitor didnât appear until he was sixteenÂ
She was a lady from another smaller province and she had a veryâŠpeculiar way of complimenting himÂ
âOh, EdmundâŠyour brown eyes remind me of the twigs in my garden.âÂ
âMy lord, your skin is as white as paperâŠit makes you so beautiful and fragile.âÂ
âKing Edmund, your ears are quite outstanding arenât they!âÂ
He was never quite sure if she was insulting him or complimenting him
Edmund tried to squash her advances by pushing one of his knights onto herÂ
Turns out his knight was far more interested and actually ended up courting the girlÂ
His next notable suitor came when he was eighteen
He had just come of age in Narnia, and a ball was held in his honorÂ
He got the usual attention from young ladies, but at that point he had learned how to politely declineÂ
Or sick Lucy and Susan on themâboth were effectiveÂ
One widow in her forties seemed to wave them off and give him some peace at the ballÂ
She was really sweet to him, and Edmund pitied her since she had just lost her husband and never had the chance to have childrenÂ
She extended her visit at Cair, and she and Edmund actually got along wellÂ
He thought of her as a mother figureâŠbut sheâerâhad some other intentionsÂ
It wasnât until Susan gently broke the news to EdmundÂ
He was sooo horrified, and slightly disgusted
After some help from Peter, the lady finally left Edmund aloneÂ
After the initial shock died down, his siblings had a good laugh about itâŠand he couldnât help joining alongÂ
When he was in his early twenties, he had one suitor that nearly caused a fire
She was not very nice at all, but she appeared to be in front of EdmundÂ
She flirted with him horriblyâŠhonestly, she was very bad
Edmund tried so many thingsâŠgently letting her down, bluntly letting her down
He tried to get Susan, Lucy, and even Peter to discourage herÂ
He got so desperate, he asked one of his good lady friends to act as his suitor for a short whileÂ
Not even that pushed her offÂ
In the end, he went to her father and told him what had happenedÂ
His suitor came storming in a horrifically ugly dress with so many feathers and claimed that she would start a war based on unrequited love
Of course, the others in the room chuckled at her expense
Her hand motions grew more animated, and she didnât see the lit candle that caught fire on the feather from her sleeveÂ
She started running around wildly, and wouldâve caught the room on fire if Edmund didnât throw a glass of water on her singed sleeve
She was SOOO angry, but everyone in the room started laughing at the ridiculous situationÂ
Her father apologized to Edmund for her behavior, but she never visited Cair again
None of the Pevensies could say they mindedÂ
Sorry yaâll. My brain came up with some strange things just now. HahaâŠbut I hope it made you laugh a little.Â
Can we have a long post with Edmundâs suitor stories? Cuz honestly they would be hilarious.
