Meanwhile Caspian has a bandage over his forehead, and he move his head and slowly open his eyes groaning he looks around to see a ceiling and Caspian sits up looking around before raising his hand to his forehead while Nikabrik said "This bread is so stale" That caught Caspian's attention as he takes off his bandage then a 2nd Voice said "I'll just give him some soup, then".
Caspian threw the bandage on the floor "He should be coming around soon" Nikabrik said "I don't think I hit him hard enough" Caspian gets off the bed and moves around the corner and the 2nd Voice said "Nikabrik, he's just a boy" But Nikabrik said "He's a Telmarine, not some lost puppy" Caspian lowers himself listening to the argument.
Nikabrik is sitting at a table "You said you were gonna get rid of him" Caspian leans around and saw a black and white Badger name Trufflehunter who said "No" He looks to Nikabrik holding a bowl of soup "I said I'd take care of him" Caspian leans back shock "We can't kill him now" Trufflehunter turns "I just bandaged his head".
Caspian takes a deep breath looking back "It would be like murdering a guest" Looking to him Nikabrik ask "Oh, how do you think his friends are treating their guests" Turning his head Trufflehunter said "Trumpkin and N/n bot knew what they were doing" He looks to Nikabrik "It's not the boy's fault" He turns only for Caspian to run out knocking Trufflehunter making him drop the bowl "Ah".
Nikabrik threw a chair in front of the door making Caspian move back and Nikabrik pulls out his sword aiming at Caspian who pulls out a fire poker aiming at Nikabrik "Stop" Nikabrik and Caspian clash "Stop" Trufflehunter look at them "Hold it" Nikabrik and Caspian clash again "No, no" Staring at him Nikarbrik said "I told you we should have killed him when we had the chance" He aim his sword at Caspian.
But Trufflehunter said "You know why we can't" Caspian said "If we're taking a vote, I'm with him" He nods to Trufflehunter as Nikabrik wave his arm he said "Well, we can't let him go" He looks back to Caspian "He's seen us" He clash against Caspian who leans back sitting on the steps and Trufflehunter yells "That's enough, Nikabrik".
He stares at him "Or do I have to sit on your head again" That made Nikabrik give a disgusting looking "And you" Caspian looks to Trufflehunter who picks up the bowl "Look what you made me do" Caspian stares at him surprise "I spent half the morning on that soup" He turns and was as Caspian looks to Nikabrik glancing between them Caspian ask "What are you"?
Trufflehunter said "You know, it's funny that you would ask that" He walks over to the kitchen "You think people would know a badger when they saw one" Caspian said "No" He looks to Nikabrik "No, I mean..." He stares at Caspian "...you're Narnians" Caspian moves a bit "You're supposed to be extinct" Lowering his sword Nikabrik said "Sorry to disappoint you" He turns and walks.
Trufflehunter walks to the table with a bowl in his hand he said "Here you go" He place the bowl on the table as Nikabrik sits down "Still hot" Scoffing Nikabrik ask "Since when did we open a boarding house for Telmarine soldiers" But Caspian said "I'm not a soldier" Nikabrik and Trufflehunter looks to Caspian who stands up "I'm Prince Caspian" He stares at them "The tenth".
Shocking the two of them Nikabrik ask "What are you doing here" Lowering his gaze Caspian said "Running away" Nikabrik and Trufflehunter look to one another and back to Caspian who puts the fire poker back "My uncle has always wanted my throne" He leans up staring at the fire "I suppose I have only lived this long because he did not have an heir of his own" He move his gaze.
Trufflehunter said "Oh..." He looks to Nikabrik "That changes everything" Nikabrik said "Yeah" He looks to Caspian "Means we don't have to kill you ourselves" Staring at him Caspian said "You're right" He turns and walks pass them Trufflehunter ask "Where are you going" Caspian said "My uncle won't stop until I am dead" He grab his armour and put it on.
He looks at them putting his arms through and Trufflehunter said "But..." He waves his hands "...you can't leave" Nikabrik stares at him "You're meant to save us" Caspian grab his sword and looks back to Trufflehunter who holds the horn he used and Nikabrik looks at him "Don't you know what this is" Nikabrik looks to Caspian who stares at the horn.
Meanwhile a Telmarine walks down a hall passing Cornelius who walks from the corner in his hands is a few scrolls he stops to see a door opened and rattling is heard Cornelius looks down the hallway before walking to the door opening it and enters the room walking up the stairs looking around, he stops to see Miraz standing there he turns holding a book.
Miraz said "You have quite the library, doctor" Staring at him Cornelius ask "Is there anything particular you seek, my lord" He walks over to a table placing the scrolls on it as Miraz said "I think I've already found what I'm looking for..." He walks down the steps putting a book on the rail making Cornelius look at him "...in one of my soldiers" He stabs an arrow in a book.
Cornelius slowly takes off his glasses looking at the arrow walking over to it and sees the page the arrow is stabbed to reveal the Kings and Queens of old making Cornelius smile putting his glasses on the table looking to Miraz who sits down putting a legs on the table "What do you know of Queen Susan's horn" Taking a deep breath Cornelius said "It was said to be magic".
Staring at him Miraz ask "Magic" Cornelius said "The Narnians believed it could summon their kings and queens of old" Miraz move his head "At least, such was the superstition" Taking his legs off the table and standing up Miraz ask "And what does Caspian know of this superstition" He walks around the table to Cornelius who said "My lord, you forbade me from mentioning the old tales".
Smiling Miraz said "So I did" He turns to the door making Cornelius turn to hear footsteps he sees Gozelle enter the room with two Telmarines standing at the door looking back Cornelius said "I will say this" He stares at Miraz "If Caspian does know of the Deep Magic..." He takes a breath "...my lord would have good reason to be nervous".
Outside the room the two Telmarines take Cornelius and leads him away just as Sopespian comes down the stairs he stops to see Cornelius taken away he looks and walks to Gozelle who walks out of the room Sopespian said "First our prince..." Sopespian motion in the direction "...now his tutor" Gozelle stares at him "If the members of Miraz's own house are not safe, are any of us".
Miraz calls "Lord Sopespian" Making Gozelle and Sopespian look towards the room Gozelle said "Those are dangerous words, Lord Sopespian" He took a step looking to Sopespian who said "But these are dangerous times, general" Gozelle stares at him "One should choose his words as carefully as he chooses his friends".
With that Sopespian walks leaving Gozelle and enters the room walking to Miraz who ask "How long until the bridge is finished" He flips a few pages Sopespian said "Construction continues of schedule" Gozelle slowly enters and Miraz said "That's not good enough" He stares at him "I need my army across that river now".
Sopespian ask "May I suggest you contribute some of your own men" He shake his head a bit "I've only so many at my disposal" Leaning forward Miraz said "A fact you'd be wise to remember" Sopespian lean his head back Miraz nods to Gozelle "Go to Beruna" Sopespian turns to Gozelle "Take as many troops as you need".
Gozelle stares at him "We must get Caspian before they do" Slowly Gozelle turns and leaves the room while Sospespian looks back to Miraz confuse Sopespian ask "'They', my lord" Raising both brows Miraz said "It's time you learned your history" He motion the book before walking around passing Sopespian who walks up to the table and looks at the page with the arrow on it.

But suddenly a noise caught a Telmarine's attention, and he grunts falling down then a 2nd Telmarine got shot down making him scream in pain falling down Caspian looks in confusion the Telmarines watch the bushes move before a 3rd Telmarine got cut down and a 4th Telmarine got shot from behind the six remaining Telmarines look to one another before firing at Caspian and Trufflehunter.

The bushes begin to move heading towards Caspian who watch it coming closer and coming out the Creature yells "Ah" He knocks Caspian on his back and the Creature lands on his chest using its tail to retrieve it's sword "Hyah" Pointing the sword at Caspian is a mouse with a feather on a golden ring around it's left the mouse name is Reepicheep.
Caspian looks at the blade "Choose your last words carefully, Telmarine" Staring at Reepicheep surprise Caspian said "You are a mouse" Reepicheep sighs annoyed he said "I was hoping for something a little more original" Using his sword to point at Caspian's "Pick up your sword" Looking to it and back Caspian said "Uh..." He takes a breath "No, thanks".
Leaning in Reepicheep said "Pick it up" He move his sword away "I will not fight an unarmed man" Slowly nodding Caspian said "Which is why I might live longer if I choose not to cross blades with you, noble mouse" But Reepicheep said "I said I would not fight you" He aim his sword at Caspian "I didn't say I'd let you live".
Suddenly Trufflehunter calls "Reepicheep" Making Reepicheep and Caspian look to Trufflehunter who is being held by Nikabrik "Stay your blade" Reepicheep ask "Trufflehunter" Caspian looks back to Reepicheep who is angry "I trust you have a very good reason for this untimely interruption" Nikarbrik said "He doesn't" Trufflehunter looks to him shock.
