Caspian stood in front of his mirror making sure everything was in its place. His mind wandered over to Isabella... He could daydream for hours about her.. She was so perfect.

Why was he so attracted to her? Was it because of how he saved her? Was it because she was a commoner and deserved more respect? Everyone who earns respect deserves respect. Was it her enormous gratitude? Her kindness? Her beauty?

Was he falling in love?

But it hasn't even been a full day yet and he found himself so infatuated with this girl. His eyes filled with sadness realizing that they could never be. He had to marry a princess no matter how much he liked Isabella.

One thing was for sure. He was dreading to meet the princesses.

"Sire, they are here." Reepicheep stepped on the dresser. "Are you nervous?"

"No." He simply replied, he was wanting the evening to be over with and the feast hadn't even started. He made his way to the throne room where the gifts laid. He took in the appearances of the seven princesses.

"Your highness." A blonde spoke up moving her way forward too eagerly. "I'm Anna." She curtsied.

Caspian smiled politely as he handed her a flower and a necklace. "Pleasure to meet you Anna, Welcome to Narnia."

"Amy"

"Lauren"

"Lacey"

"Olivia"

"Serena"

"Valerie"

Introductions were made and finally it was supper. Throughout the entire meal, the girls hardly touched their food while Caspian ate and answered questions. The princesses were throwing every flirtatious line they could muster and Caspian was oblivious.

"Excuse me sorry-so sorry-"

"AH ITS A RAT! A TALKING RAT!" Anna screamed as she grabbed a fork and attempted to stab Caspians friend.

"NO DONT HURT ME!" Reepicheep yelled as he got to his master safely.

"Ladies settle down!" Caspian laughed "he's completely harmless! I assure you he won't hurt you. "

"But Caspian,....it's a rat...." Valerie spoke in a duh voice.

"I am a MOUSE thank you very much!" Reepicheep retorted as Caspian tried desperately to hide a laugh.

"What can I help you with Reep?" Caspian asked his friend.

"She shall be here momentarily." He whispered as Caspian sat up straighter and paid more attention.

Suddenly the doors opened revealing Isabella clothes in a red gown (media) her dark hair up in an intricate bun. Her skin was cleaned and her blue eyes shines brighter than ever. Everyone stared in awe as she walked shyly unsure what to do. Caspian stood up quietly and made his way over with a wide grin.

"Please welcome a guest of mine- Isabella. She will be joining us for the feast."

She smiled brightly and waving to everyone, but she couldn't help but notice the amount of daggers that were coming from the seven ladies who glared with envy and jealousy.

"Please continue!" Caspian encouraged as everyone returned to eating. The King handed her a white rose as she laughed and took it. "I'm glad you came."

"So am I Caspian."

The evening passed much quicker than expected as Reepicheep entertained the audience with wonderful stories. Well except the princesses.

Suddenly the music slowed down as Caspian offered Isabella his hand. "May I have this dance?"

"Well w-what about the princesses?" She asked nervously

"They can dance with the Knights. See they are already lining up.."

Isabella smiled as she took Caspian's hand. "I'm afraid I'll be stepping on your toes."

Caspian laughed "I wore my toughest boots for tonight. For some shoes that princesses wear could probably impale a foot."

They began slowly, then faster until they were whirling around the room as everyone stared in awe. The more they danced, the more they fell in love with each other.

"Your highness?" A servant spoke "He wishes to speak with you."

Caspian nodded and reluctantly let go. "I shouldn't be long."

He quickly made his way to the last meeting place as he bowed before the Great Lion.

"So? Have you found any that interest you?" He asked with a smile.

"I can't marry any of the princesses. " Caspian spoke sadly "I don't love them. I'm in love with someone else."

Aslan smiled and stepped forward "Then go to her! Your wasting time!"

"But I thought-"

"Young one, just because I advised you to get married doesn't mean it had to be a princess."

Without another word, Caspian ran to find the love of his life. Isabella.
