"Now, then," said Peter, after breakfast, "Aslan and the girls Casbye, I mean Queen Susan and Queen Lucy are somewhere near here.We don't know when it will start moving.There is no doubt that it has its own claims, and time is determined by it, not by us.In the meantime, it wants us to do what we can and make a difference.Casbin, let's see, do we have enough strength to have a decisive battle with Miruz" "I'm afraid we can't do it, Your Majesty the Supreme King. ”Caspen replied.He liked Peter very much, but he was always stammering and clumsy.For Caspian, meeting the Supreme King from ancient legends was far more strange and novel to him than they were to meet him."
Okay, then," said Peter, "I'm going to challenge him one-on-one." ”No one had thought of this idea before."
Please," said Casbian, "can you send me to avenge my father." ”"You're already wounded," Peter vetoed, "and anyway, won't he laugh at the challenge from you, I mean, we've all seen what you're capable of as a king and a warrior, but he's always thought you were just a child." ”"But, your majesty," said the badger, sitting next to Peter, with its eyes fixed on him, "will he accept your challenge, knowing full well that he has a mighty army, and that there is no need to do anything else." ”"It is very likely that he will not accept it," replied Peter, "but there will always be an opportunity, and even if he does not accept the challenge, we must choose the best time to send an envoy to deal with him, and then Aslan will act and deal a fatal blow to the enemy."
And, at least, I can patrol the military situation and consolidate the camp.I'll send out a challenge, and in fact I'm going to write it right away.Mr.
Doctor, do you have any pen and ink here?"
"A scholar would never leave him, Your Majesty. ”Dr.
Knells replied with a smile."
That's great, I'll dictate it."
Peter said.Later, the doctor spread out the paper, opened the cartridge, and sharpened his pen.Peter leaned back in his chair, his eyes slightly closed, recalling in his head the words of such an instrument he had written long ago during the golden age of Narnia."
Alright," he finally said, "Now, Doctor, are you ready?"
Dr.
Knears waited, wetting his pen.Peter's dictation reads as follows: "Peter, in the name of the supreme king of Narnia, the emperor of the lonely islands, and the monarch of Kelpalavier, the most honored knight of Aslan, by the power bestowed upon him by Aslan, by the public election, by the tradition of the ages, by his brilliant deeds, by the supreme king of Narnia, the emperor of the Lonely Isles, and by the lord of Kelpalavier, the most honored knight of Aslan, he salutes His Excellency Miruz, son of Caspin VIII, former protector of Narnia, and now self-proclaimed king of Narnia.Have you written it all down?"
”The doctor muttered and repeated, "Yes, Your Majesty. ”"Let's start another paragraph."
Peter commanded, "In order to avoid unnecessary bloodshed, and to avoid all the misfortunes that the Kingdom of Narnia will have to cause as a result of the war, I declare war on your Excellency on behalf of the royals worthy of our trust and the righteous forces of Narnia.At the same time, the beloved Caspian proved his identity in this battle, which means that Caspian is the legal heir to the throne of Narnia, both in terms of the rights we have given and in terms of the laws of Delma.In addition, Your Excellency is guilty of the double crime of murdering your merciful monarch, your own brother Caspian IX, and stealing the throne of Caspian and imposing a reign of terror.It is with great indignation that we challenge Your Excellency.If you are willing to accept this duel and fight it with us, then I will be honored.This time I went to deliver the challenge to my beloved brother Edmund, who was the King of Narnia, the Duke of Landonwest, and the Earl of the Western March, and the noble knight of the Stone Table.He is solely responsible for the conditions you may have for the duel.This battle was written at the fortress of Aslan, on the 12th day of the first month of the first year of Caspin X. ”"That should be the case," said Peter, and then breathed a deep sigh of relief, "and now we must send two more men with King Edmund."
I think the giant should be one of them. ”"He knows, he's not very smart."
Caspian said helplessly."
Not smart, of course," said Peter with a laugh, "but any giant, even if he was just silent, would look impressive, and it would cheer him up.""
In my opinion," said Durupkin, "if you're going to use a warrior who can kill people by just looking at him, then Repechip is the best choice." ”"Judging by the anecdotal things I've heard, he's up to the task," Peter said with a laugh, "if only he weren't that small.""
Send Grantham, Your Majesty," advises Trufhat, "and no one ever laughs at a remy Martin." ”An hour later, two of the great nobles of the Miroz army, Prince Golo and Prince Sopi, were patrolling their line, and they were picking their teeth after breakfast.When they looked up, they saw the man Granstom and the giant Wembwege walking towards them from the forest, two of whom they had seen in the war, but they did not know the man who walked in the middle.Indeed, if Edmund's classmates at school had seen him at that time, they might not have recognized him, because by the time he met Aslan, his temperament and demeanor had changed drastically since he was enlightened by it."
What are they doing here," asked the Lord of Golo, puzzled, "The raid" "looks like a negotiation," the Lord Thorni pondered, "and look, they are holding green branches."
It looks like they've come to surrender. ”"There was no sign of surrender on the face of the guy who walked between the giants and the Rémy Martin.""
Who the hell is he, that's not the boy from Casper." ”"Not really," said Thornpi, "I assure you, this is a fierce warrior.I don't know where the traitors got him.This man secretly told you that he looked more like a king than Miruz.And, behold, the armor he wears, none of our blacksmiths can make it. ”"I'll bet he must have come with a challenge, not to surrender."
Lord Golo affirmed."
What do you say," asked Lord Soppi puzzled, "we have our enemies firmly in our hands, and it is impossible for King Miruz to break his head and go to a duel without his advantage." ”"He'll probably get involved."
When the prince of Golo spoke, he lowered his voice very low."
Be quiet," said Lord Thorpi cautiously, "go a little further out of the sentinels' hearing range.Now, can you tell me what you mean?"
"What if the king accepted the challenge and fought a duel alone with the leader of the enemy," said the prince of Gros in a low voice, "Oh, either he killed the other party or he was killed by the other party. ”"That's what happened."
Lord Sopi nodded in agreement."
If he kills the other side, we win the war."
Lord Golo continued to analyze."
Of course, but what if you don't kill the other party," Sopi asked."
Well, if we don't kill each other, even if the king's grace is gone, we can still defeat the enemy.I don't need to tell you that Miruz was not a great monarch.And after that, we both won the battle and lost the king. ”Lord Golo said."
What the prince means is that since there is no king, then you and I can just rule this country logically" Prince Sopi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly asked.The face of the prince of Golo became ugly."
Don't forget," he said grimly, "that we were the first to put him on the throne of king.He has enjoyed all these years, and has enjoyed all the glory and riches, and what has we received, has he ever expressed any gratitude to us?"
replied Lord Thorpy, "and behold, we have been summoned to the king's tent. ”When they arrived at the king's tent, they saw Edmund and two of his attendants sitting outside the tent, enjoying the cakes and wine that had been specially designed for them.The challenge had been delivered, and the king was considering how to reply.When they observed each other at such a close distance, the two Tyrma princes felt that the three of them were very terrifying, which made people tremble.Inside, they saw King Miruz dressed in civilian clothes and having just finished breakfast, looking agitated and frowning."
Look at this," he roared angrily, and threw the parchment across the table, "look at what my unsightly nephew is playing with me," "with all due respect, Your Majesty," said Lord Gerlo, "if the young warrior we have just seen outside the tent is the King Edmund mentioned in the letter, I think this is a dangerous knight, and must not be regarded as child's play." ”"King Edmund, phew," said King Miroz angrily, "do you believe the old woman's jokes about Peter and King Edmund," "Your Majesty, I only believe what I see with my own eyes. ”Lord Golo said."
Well, it's useless to say that," said King Miroz, "but I think we should be of the same opinion on the challenge," "Your Majesty, in fact I think it should be so. ”Lord Golo pretended to be respectful and said."
So what do you think?"
King Miroz said."
It should be refused.""
For though I have never been called a coward, I must confess that confronting that young man in battle will make my heart even more inclined to rejection.And, if it is highly probable that his brother, Peter the Supreme King, is even more dangerous and terrible than he is, then, my noble Majesty, it is better not to be an enemy of him for the sake of your life. ”"You are too presumptuous," cried King Miroz, "and this is not the advice I want.Do you think I'm asking if you should be afraid of this man named Peter, if he really is a man, do you think I'm afraid of him, I want to know what advice and advice you have in making decisions on this matter, and whether there is any need for a duel in the present situation where we are in an advantage. ”"Your Majesty, I can only answer anyway," said the prince of Golo, "and whatever the reason for the challenge, it should be refused."
There was an aura of death on the face of the strange knight. ”"You're here again," roared King Miroz, who was now really angry, "are you trying to make me look as cowardly as you are?"
”Prince Golo had a sullen expression."
Brother, how do you speak like an old woman," the king glared at him impatiently, and then turned to Lord Sopi, "what do you think of this, my beloved son, Sopi?"
”"Your Majesty's strategy on this matter is best suited to ignore it," replied the Lord. ”"Oh my God," King Miroz shouted, and couldn't help but jump, "Are you also obsessed today, do you think I'm looking for a reason to refuse, then you might as well just call me a coward in front of me" This meeting has already achieved the desired effect of the two princes, so they are silent for the rest of the day."

I see what is going on," said King Miruz, his eyes glaring at them with wide eyes, his eyes about to fall out, "you two are cowardly in your own right, but you brazenly imagine me as useless as you are looking for reasons to refuse, indeed to find excuses not to fight, are you still soldiers, are you still Tyrma, are you still men, and if I refuse to challenge, although I have good reasons to do so, both in terms of position and strategy, you will think, and others will think so."
"At Your Majesty's age," replied the Lord of Golo, "no well-informed warrior would consider it a cowardly act to reject a great warrior of a fancy age." ”"So it seems to you that I'm already an old fool with one foot in the grave, what's the difference between that and a coward," King Miruz roared angrily, "I'm going to show you for yourselves, my lords with your woman's advice, cowardice is also a tactic from a real point of view, and your intentions will backfire what I was intending to refuse, but now, I'm going to accept the challenge, do you hear me clearly, and I won't be ashamed to accept it, for witchcraft or betrayal has frozen your blood." ”"We beseech your majesty," said the prince of Gros, but King Miroz had already walked briskly out of the tent.They heard him loudly announce his decision to accept the challenge to Edmund.The two princes glanced at each other and snickered."
I knew that as long as I provoked him properly, he would definitely accept the challenge.""
But I will never forget that he called me a coward," said the prince of Golo, and that he would pay for it," and when the news came back, it reached the ears of all living beings, causing a stirring cheer in the fortress of Aslan.Edmund, along with one of Miruz's captains, had already planned the venue for the duel, laying boundary posts on all sides and enclosing them with ropes.The two Tyrans stood in the two corners, and one stood in the middle on one side, acting as the referee and notary of the arena.The Supreme King arranges for the referee and the notary to stand in the other two corners and in the middle.At this moment, Peter was explaining to Caspian that he was not alone, because the purpose of their war was to inherit the throne.Suddenly, a deep voice with a drowsy voice sounded beside him: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being presumptuous. ”Peter turned around and saw the eldest brown bear standing in front of him."
I beg your pardon, Your Majesty."
It said, "I'm a bear. ”"Of course you are, I'm sure, and you're a good bear, I have no doubt about that."
Peter said kindly."
Yes," replied the Great Bear, "but I would like to remind Your Majesty that it has always been the prerogative of our Bear Clan to be the referee and notary of the Arena. ”"Don't let it go," said Durupkin quietly to Peter, "it is indeed a good animal, but it would be a shame for us to be sent as a notary."
It will fall asleep, and it will suck its claws, even in the presence of its enemies" "I can't do anything about that," said Peter, "because it's right, the Bear family does have that privilege."
I don't know why I remember this so well over the years, while many other things have long since been forgotten. ”"Your Majesty, I beg your permission."
Xiong pleaded from the side."
It is your right," said Peter, "that you will be allowed to be one of the notaries, but you must remember not to suck your paws." ”"Of course not."
The big brown bear agreed in a very cheerful voice."
Gee, you're doing that."
Durupkin roared.The big brown bear quickly took its paws out of its mouth and pretended not to hear."
Your Majesty."
A shrill voice came from close to the ground."
Ah, it's Ray Pepp" Peter, like all people looking for mice, searched up and down, left and right, with his eyes, only to find the rat general standing on the ground."
Your Majesty," said Rappechip, "my life is at your disposal, but my honor is mine.Your Majesty, among my people is the only trumpeter in His Majesty's army.I thought, maybe, that I'd be sent to deliver the challenge.Your Majesty, my people are grieving and demoralized.It would be gratifying if you would grant me the title of Arena's notary. ”At this moment, a thunderous cry suddenly sounded above their heads, a not-so-wise laugh from the giant Wembweyge, though all friendly giants had this tendency.It wasn't until Repechip, when he realized where the voice was coming from, glared at him fiercely, that he quickly closed his mouth, his expression gloomy and stunned."
I'm afraid I'm not suitable," Peter replied with a frown, "a lot of humans are afraid of rats," "Your Majesty, I've noticed that. ”Repechipe said."
That would be too unfair to Miruz," Peter continued, "if there was something in front of him that might weaken his courage." ”"Your Majesty is truly a mirror of honor."
General Rat bowed very gracefully, "We can't just think about one-sided matters in this matter, I think I just heard someone laughing at me, and if everyone here wants to make fun of me, then I am more than happy to serve him with my sword, and accompany him at any time." ”After Repechip's remarks, the scene fell silent.In the end, it was Peter who broke the deadlock: "The giant Wembuwige, as well as the brown bear and the remy horse Granstom, will be the referee and notary on our side."
The duel will begin at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the meal will be served punctually at noon. ”"I said," Edmund said after they left, "I think everything will be going well."
I mean, I think you can beat him, right?"
"I'll know when I duel him." ”Peter said calmly.t1706231537:
