In the night, Isolde was thinking about the letter that Edmund sent to her, he said that she was the only girl in her family and he isn’t wrong though. He said that he already knows her when she was just a kid in the Pevensies coronation in Cair Paravel, she also remembered this.
Her older brother Corin was talking with her about a marriage with Edmund, Narnia is in peace like Edmund said. Maybe it’s the right time for a marriage but she doesn't know him already.
In the morning of the next day she woke up and went to the big salon of the Archenland palace, she saw Corin and another boy that she believes to be Shasta. They’re twins, that’s why he discovered so but she’s still the youngest.
“Hi, you must be Shasta right?” said Isolde.
“Yes, i’m Shasta or Cor anyways.” he responded, he seemed a good boy and she smiled at him.
“I read the letter that Edmund sent.” she said to Corin.
Shasta was paying attention in the conversation. He still doesn’t know Isolde too but
he knows that she is the only daughter of King Lune, his father. Isolde seems to have the same friendliness as him.
“Are you serious? A marriage? That’s what i understand, he said that i grew up and that i’m 18.” she was clearly not so happy with this.
She doesn't understand about marriage, she’s still a young girl who wants adventures. She understands that her father is training her to be a great High Queen of Archenland some day but great queens have to be married? She can do this on her own, she doesn't need a man on her side.
“I can be a queen on my own, i don’t need a man on my side.” Isolde continued protesting about the idea.
“All great High Queen’s have married, see the Queen Helena and King Frank, they married and have children.” she recognizes the voice of her father, King Lune.
Her father looks serious, Shasta found her personality very similar to her father, sweet and very sympathetic. He understands King Edmund, but he also understands her said he felt some remorse for not being created with her and Corin, who understands her feelings better than him. Maybe she would like to be friends with Aravis, she’s a girl.
“I know dad.” she responded to him without contest.
“Edmund has two sisters, Queen Lucy and Queen Susan. Susan is the oldest girl of the Pevensie family.”
Isolde knows about the two sisters, Lucy and Susan, Susan is older than her and Lucy is younger than her, she briefly talked with Lucy in the Pevensies coronation but was just it, she was too shy at this age to say something specially with the Kings and Queens of Cair Paravel.
“You should follow the example of your older brother, going on diplomatic missions and not going on these dangerous ships to the Lone Islands.”
Isolde shrugs, she has no idea what this could cause. She’s just wanted her freedom, why did she have to go through this? Susan and Lucy didn’t need to, oh they’re queens and she’s still a princess. Edmund seems to want to put her in her place, he is a King.
Back in her room, later that night of that day. She decided to write a letter to Queen Susan and question about this and why, she just turned 18 years old, going on travels in the Lone Islands seems more interesting to her instead of being trained as a High Queen.
“Dear Queen Susan, i know that you meet my brother Corin and he tells me about a marriage with King Edmund. He sent me a letter about this, i think that i’m still young for this, i just turned 18 years old. My dad rising me to be a great High Queen one day because i’m still a princess, Edmund is a King and i don’t even know him. I remember saw you four in the Cair Paravel coronation ceremony when i was around Edmund age but i only talked with Lucy briefly. I would like things to be clear.”
She remembers Queen Susan, The Gentle when she was just a kid. She was a very pretty lady, her black and long, and she heard that she had a lot of pretenders like the prince Rabadash. Queen Lucy was the youngest girl, she was known as The Valiant and Peter was the oldest boy and was known as The Magnificent.
And then, there was King Edmund, The Just. The boy with black hair that she saw in the coronation, at first sight Edmund seems a boring guy maybe seriously? She doesn’t know him. But he also knows that because he is good at strategy, he seems like a mature boy in her view. Maybe her brother and father are right?
“The things that happened earlier are kind of strange.” the voice she heard apparently belongs to Shasta. “We don’t know each other properly but you know that i’m your brother.”
“Yes i know this, Corin tells me about this.”
“I know King Edmund, i was in Cair Paravel before Archenland. He’s a very quiet guy, i see this in you too.”
“People tell me this.” she responds to him.
“I heard that you travel in ships to the Lone Islands, you seem very curious about this stuff.”
“Yes, i accidentally fell onto a ship bound for the Lone Islands when i was 15 years old.” she revels the truth about her past. “I had to spend days alone on a ship but then they discovered me on the deck.”
“And at this time? Why did you do it?”
“I heard about the Lone Islands.”
“I think that it is better if we go to Cair Paravel.” Shasta suggests.
She doesn’t know King Edmund, maybe this will be an opportunity to get to know him better? Well it’s an opportunity to meet her brother too, she recently discovered this. He wasn’t created in a monarchy like her and Corin, maybe he's a good person.
The second time that she was into ships, was because she was curious to explore the Lone Islands and wrote about the maps of this mysterious place.
“You’ll like to meet Aravis, my friend.” Shasta tells about Aravis.
“Yes, i travel with her.”
Visiting Cair Paravel after a long time might not be a bad idea.
