A further turn along the road led them out of the woods; And over there, just through the large green meadows, you can see the castle of Anwad.Behind the castle is a high jungle-covered ridge that shields the castle from the north wind.The castle looks very old and is made of a warm reddish-brown stone.Before they reached the gates, King Lunn had come out to greet them, looking nothing like the king Alaves had in mind, and wearing what looked like the oldest of the old clothes.Actually, it was because he had taken his hunter to inspect his kennelyard, and had just returned, and had only had time to rest for a moment to wash his hands that had touched the dogs.But the imposing gesture he showed when he took Alaves's hand and bent down to greet her was enough to see that he was an emperor."
Mademoiselle," he said, "we welcome you heartily.If my dear wife were still alive, we ought to make you feel happier, but now we are a little overwhelmed.It must be a very sad thing for you to hear that you have been forced to flee your father's house, and I am very sorry for what happened to you.My son, Coo, has told me about the adventures you have had together and all your acts of bravery. ”"Your Majesty, he did all the brave things," said Alaves, "and he rushed to a lion to save me." ”"Well, what is that?"
asked the King, his eyes lit up, "I have never heard him tell a story about it." ”Then Alaves spoke.As for Prince Koo, he really wanted others to know this story, but he didn't think it was appropriate for him to tell it himself; But now he felt that he didn't enjoy it as much as he expected, but rather stupid and ridiculous.However, his father admired his actions and told many people about them in the weeks that followed, so that Prince Koo even wished that it had never happened.The king then turned to Herwin and Brie, treating them as politely as Alavis, and asking them many questions about their family members and where they lived in Narnia before they were captured.The horses were dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer, because they were not yet used to people talking to them as equals, of course, referring to adults.For Alaves and Prince Koo, they will not be like this.In a few moments, Queen Lucy walked out of the castle and joined them in their conversation.King Lunn said to Alaves very kindly: "My dear child, this is a very lovely friend of our family, and she is already concerned about the furnishings of your room; It must be much better for her to arrange these things than for me to arrange them. ”"Would you like to come and have a look," said Queen Lucy, kissing Alaves.As soon as they met, they immediately liked each other, and soon they walked away together, talking as they went about the sleeping chambers and reception rooms of Alaves, about the clothes prepared for Alaves, and about all kinds of things that the girls always talked about on such occasions.They had lunch on the balcony with cold cuts, mixed birds, cold game pies, liquor, bread, cheese.After the meal, King Lunn frowned, then let out a long sigh, and said, "Trouble, we have a very tricky figure in our hands, Prince Rabadash, and my friends, we must decide what to do with him." ”Queen Lucy sat to the right of the king, and Alaves sat to his left.King Edmund sat at the other end of the table, and Lord Darlan sat facing him.Lord Dahl, Lord Perridan, Prince Koo, and Prince Colin all sat on the same side as the King."
Your Majesty has every reasonable reason to smash his head," said Lord Peridan, "and to launch such a surprise attack would be to put himself in the same role as an assassin." ”"That's right," said King Edmund, "but even a traitor can be reformed."
I know one of those people. ”It looks like he said it thoughtfully."
If this Prince Rabadash is killed, it will be tantamount to instigating a war with Tisrock."
Lord Darlan said."
Tisrock has nothing to worry about," said King Lunn, "but he has the advantage of the crowd, but you must know that you should never think of crossing the desert."
But I'm not the kind of cold-blooded person who kills people in cold blood, even if he's a treacherous man.Cutting his throat on the battlefield would have been easy for me, but it was a different thing. ”"My suggestion," said Queen Lucy, "that Your Majesty may interrogate him one more time."
If he makes a strict commitment, he promises to act fairly in the future.Then let him go freely.Then maybe he will keep his promise in the future. ”"Sister, maybe the gorilla will be honest."
King Edmund said, "But, by the lion's oath, if he breaks his promise again, then perhaps the time will come when any of us can cut off his head in a clean war." ”"Try it as much as you can."
The king said, and then commanded one of his attendants: "Friend, bring the captives here." ”Prince Rabadash was brought up in chains.If he were the way he looked, anyone would have thought he had been locked up last night in a foul-smelling dungeon with no food to eat or water to drink; But the reality was that he was locked up in a very comfortable room and was served a delicious dinner.But because he had been angry, and had lost his temper violently, and had refused to eat dinner, and had spent the night pausing and yelling, and cursing, he naturally did not look the best now."
Needless to say, Your Highness knows," said King Lunn, "and in accordance with the laws of the land, and in accordance with all the provisions of prudential policy, we have the right to cut off your head, just as a man has the right to deal with another enemy whom he does not share."
However, considering your young ignorance, rough nature, and lack of culture and courtesy, there is no doubt that these are due to the fact that you grew up in a country of tyrants and slavery, and we intend to set you free and let you return home unharmed, provided that you comply with the following conditions: "I curse you savage dog," Prince Rabadash scolded loudly in anger, "do you think I will obediently listen to your terms, and I am ashamed to talk to me about nature and things I know nothing about."
How easy it is to speak to a man who is bound in chains, hum untie these filthy shackles to me, give me a sword, and then, if you have the guts, you can just let the horses come and debate with me" Almost all the princes and nobles jumped to their feet in anger when they heard this, and Prince Colin shouted on the side: "Father, can I punch him, please." ”"Please be quiet, your majesty, princes and nobles," said King Lunn, "are we so indefinite, and a bastard mockery will anger you, Colin, sit down, or you will leave the table."
Once again, I ask Your Highness to listen to our conditions. ”"I will never listen to the terms of the Gentile barbarians and sorcerers," said Prince Rabadash, "and none of you will dare touch a hair on my head, and for all the insults and rudeness you have done to me, I will make you Narnias and Achinlands pay for it with a sea of blood, and Tisrock's revenge will be terrible, even now."
But, kill me, and the fire and destruction that burn in these northern lands will become a legend that will shock the whole world for thousands of years.Beware of the thunder and lightning of the god Tash falling from the sky" "Will your thunder be caught by a hook in the middle of the way" Prince Colin sneered."
Don't mess around, Colin," said the King, "and never mock others when they are stronger than you; When the other party is not as strong as you, then you can be happy. ”"Oh, you foolish Rabhash," said Queen Lucy with a sigh.Then Prince Koo began to wonder with wonder why everyone sitting at the table stood up and stood there motionless.Of course, he himself stood up.That's when he saw the reason.Aslan was in the midst of them, though no one saw it walk in.Prince Rabadash was astonished when he saw the lion's huge body pacing gently between him and the accusers of him."
Rabadash," Aslan said, "be careful.Your verdict is near, but you can still avoid doom.Forget your pride, what you have to be proud of, and your anger, who made you do wrong, accept the mercy of these good kings. ”Prince Rabadash rolled his eyes, opened his mouth wide and let out a terrible and gloomy grin like a shark, and shook his ears up and down, which anyone could learn how to do if he was willing to work.In the past, he had always found it to work very well at Calmen.When he made this grimace, even the bravest people would tremble all the time, ordinary people would fall to the ground in fright, and people with nervous tensions would usually faint directly.However, the real reason was not realized by Rabadash, for it was known that he could easily frighten them if he could boil them to death at once at the slightest order.In Achinlan, grimacing doesn't look scary at all; In fact, Queen Lucy also simply thought that Prince Rabadash was about to get sick."
Demon Demon Demon," Prince Rabadash screamed, "I know you.You are the evil devil of Narnia.You are the enemy of the gods.You know who I am, obnoxious ghost.I am a descendant of the indomitable, irresistible god Tash.The curse of the god Tash will come upon you.Lightning in the shape of a scorpion will rain down on you.The mountains of Narnia will turn to dust" "Be careful, Rabadash," Aslan said quietly, "the judgment is nearer, it has reached the door, and the latch has been pulled. ”"Let the heavens fall," cried Prince Rabadash, "let the earth be cracked, and let blood and fire destroy the world, but I am sure that I will never give up until I take the foreign queen by the hair and drag her to my palace, the daughter of the dog, the "" ''' ”Aslan said.Then Prince Rabadash saw what had terrified him, and everyone burst out laughing.They couldn't help but laugh.Prince Rabadash had been wiggling his ears, and as soon as Aslan had said "the time is up," the ears began to change.The ears grew longer and sharper, and in a short time they were covered with gray hairs.Just as everyone was wondering if they had seen such ears somewhere before, Prince Rabadash's face began to change.The face has become longer, the top has become thicker, the eyes have become larger, and the nose has sunk into the face, otherwise, the whole face will bulge out, and it will become a whole nose, and the face will be full of hair.His arms began to lengthen, and they hung down in front of him until their hands touched the ground, but now they weren't hands, they were all hooves.He stood there with four hooves on the ground, and his clothes were gone, and everyone laughed louder and louder, and they couldn't help laughing, because Rabadash had become a donkey.Unfortunately, he had been speaking for a little longer than his human form, so when he realized that something was changing in him, he screamed and shouted, "Oh, I don't want to be a donkey, please have mercy on me."
Even if it's to become a horse, even if it's a horse, uh, hoykhohe, Iheohe. ”The next words disappeared to the sound of a donkey."
Now listen to me, Rabadash," Aslan said, "and the righteous judgment will contain mercy.You won't be a donkey forever. ”At this time, of course, the donkey quickly twisted its ears forward, and listened carefully, which was also very ridiculous, and everyone laughed louder and louder.They tried to endure it, but they couldn't help it."
You have asked the god Tash," said Aslan, "and you will be healed in the temple of the god Tash."
At the great autumn festival of this year, you must stand in front of the altar of the god Tash in the city of Tashban, and in the presence of all the Tasbanes, the form of your donkey will fall off from you, and everyone will recognize you as Prince Rabadash.But in the years of your existence, if you go ten miles beyond the great temple of Tashban, you will immediately become what you are now.And from the second time you become a donkey, you can never come back. ”There was a brief silence, and then they were all able to move, and everyone had a dreamlike feeling, looking at each other.Aslan is gone.There was still a glow from the grass to the air, and their hearts were filled with joy, which at least proved to them that what had just happened was not a dream.What's more, there was also a donkey standing in front of them.King Lunn was the softest of all men, and when he saw his enemies in such a deplorable state, he forgot all his anger."
Your Highness," he said, "I am deeply sorry that things have come to such an irreparable state.Your Highness saw with your own eyes, and this is not the work of those of us who are here.Of course we would be glad to provide ships to send His Highness back to Tashban, as Aslan had decreed, in order to heal uh.Depending on your Highness's present situation, you will be treated to all kinds of comforts and considerations: the best cattleship, the freshest carrots and wild thistles," but a deafening donkey's cry rushed out of the donkey's mouth, and it kicked the guard hard, making it clear that it had no appreciation for these well-intentioned offers.Here, in order not to mention him again, it would be better for me to finish the story of Prince Rabadash.He or it was sent back to the city of Tashban by ship in time, and was taken to the temple of the god Tash at the time of the great autumn festival, and he became a man again.Of course, at least four or five thousand people witnessed his transformation, so there was no way to keep it a secret.After the death of the elder Tisrock, Rabadash succeeded to the throne as a new generation of Tisrock, who became the most peaceful Tisrock the Calemon had ever seen.This was because he did not have the courage to run more than ten miles beyond the city of Tashban, and because he could never take part in any war himself, and because he was unwilling to allow his Tykans to gain prestige by depleting his interests in the war, many of Tisrocks were overthrown as a result.However, although he was motivated by self-interest, he made the small countries around Calgate much more comfortable.The people of his own country have never forgotten that he was once a donkey.During his reign, he was called the "Peacemaker" in front of him, but behind his back and after his death, he was called the "ridiculous Rabdash", and if you try to look for his story in the local library in an excellent Kalemen history, you will find that he is listed under the entry for the "ridiculous Rabdash".To this day, if you do something really stupid at the school of Calmen, you will most likely be called "Rabadash II".In the meantime, after his deportation, the city of Anwad rejoiced, and the city's real entertainment celebrations began.An extravagant feast was held that night on the lawn in front of the castle, with countless lanterns hanging high to complement the moonlight.Staggered, telling stories, listening to jokes made my throat hoarse, the scene was so lively.But when the king's poet and his two violinists walked into the middle of the circle of people, they began to fall silent, and both Alaves and Prince Koo were ready to endure boredom, for the only poetry they knew was that of Calmen, but now you should know what poetry is.However, as soon as the violin was played, it was as if a rocket rushed into their minds, and the poet sang the great and old poem about the beautiful Alwin, and how he fought with the giant Peel, and turned the giant to stone, which is the origin of the Peelhorn, a two-headed giant, and won the heart of Miss Lilne, and made her his bride.When the hymn was finished, they wanted to hear it again.Although Brie couldn't sing, he told the story of the war in Zarindere.Again, Queen Lucy told the story of all but Aravis and Prince Koo, who had heard her many times, but everyone wanted to hear the story of the Great Wardrobe and how she and King Edmund, Queen Susan, and the Supreme King Peter had first entered Narnia.Soon after, King Lunn reminded him that it was time for the young man to go to bed."
From tomorrow, Coo," he added, "you are to go with me to all the castles, to know the current state of the castles, to remember all their strengths and weaknesses.Because when I die, these castles will be yours, and you must take good care of them. ”"But Father, when that time comes, Colin will be king."
Prince Koo said."
No, son," said King Lunn, "you are my heir, and the crown is to be inherited by you. ”"But I don't want it," said Prince Koo, "I'd rather not," "it's not a question of whether you want it or not, or whether I want it or not."
This is in accordance with the provisions of the law. ”The king said solemnly."
But we're twins, so we must have been born in the same year."
Prince Koo said."
Not necessarily," said the king, laughing, "one must have been born first."
You were born a full twenty minutes before Colin.And we want you to be a better fit than he is, even if that's not a big deal. ”He stared at Prince Colin with glowing eyes."
But, father, can't you decide at your own please, who will succeed you as the next king," asked Prince Koo, apprehensively."
No, the king is subject to the law, because it is the law that makes him king, and the king has no right to leave his crown at will, just as a sentry cannot leave the sentry.""
Oh my God," said Prince Koo with remorse, "I never thought of it.I'm so sorry about that, Colin, I never dreamed that my presence would cost you the throne. ”"Wow, wow," Prince Colin jumped up happily, "I don't have to be a king, I don't have to be a king, I'll always be a prince in the future."
Being a prince is the easiest and fun. ”"There are more truths you need to know than your brother's playfulness," said King Lunn, "and being a king means that you must be the first to take the lead in every battle of life and death, and to be the last to evacuate in every desperate rout, and to be the first to flee in every desperate rout, and to dress more decently than anyone else in your land when there is hunger, to dress more decently, and to laugh louder than anyone else in your land, even in the face of food shortages." ”When the two children went upstairs to bed, Prince Koo asked Prince Colin if the matter had been so unchangeably settled, and Prince Colin couldn't help but say, "If you talk to me about this matter again, I will knock you down with one punch." ”At the end of the story, by the way, there has been no disagreement between the two brothers about anything since then, but I'm afraid that's not the case.In fact, the two of them often quarrel, just like any other two boys.All of their fights end in a fight unless they don't fight Prince Koo and are knocked to the ground.In addition, both brothers grew up to be valiant swordsmen.In battle, Prince Koo showed even more courage.However, Prince Koo, or anyone in the northern country, as a boxer, Prince Colin is invincible and invincible.As a result, he also earned the reputation of "Colin, the Thunderbolt Boxer", and he even went to Stormy Peak to defeat "Fallen Bear", establishing great feats.The bear used to be able to speak, but it has fallen back into the habits of wild bears.On a snowy winter day, Prince Colin climbed to the bear den on Stormy Peak on the Narnia side, and without even a timekeeper, he punched the bear for thirty-three rounds.By the end of the fight, the bear had become dizzy, unable to open his eyes, and his personality had been changed back.Alaves and Prince Koo also quarreled a lot and, I'm afraid, even fought, but they always reconciled.After a few years, when they have grown up, they are still accustomed to quarreling and getting along, so they simply get married, so that it will be more convenient to quarrel and get together.After the death of King Lunn, they became the esteemed king and queen of Achingran; Ram, the greatest and most famous of the kings of Achingland, was none other than their son.Both Brie and Herwin live happily in their old age in Narnia, but the two of them are not married, they are married, and every other month, one or both of them will trott through the pass to visit their friends in Anwad.1.
