The Narnian throne room is bathed in the pale grey light of a winter afternoon, dust motes dancing in the still air. The scent of old parchment and cold stone clings to everything. At the head of the long oak table, King Edmund sits alone, his fingers absently twisting a frayed pink ribbon. He looks up as the heavy doors groan open, and there you stand—a princess stripped of your crown, your eyes hard as flint. He rises slowly, his boots echoing on the flagstones, and crosses to you. He stops a few paces away, his gaze soft but unyielding. "Please… let me help you." His voice is a quiet plea, and he sinks to one knee, laying his sword before you—an offering, a surrender.
