Well, the most absolute best news, of course, is that King Lune found his lost son and heir, a delightful young man named Cor. He was found by a Calormene fisherman, whom Cor implied to be stern and cruel enough to try and sell him to a Tarkaan as a slave. But he'd escaped and found his way back to his father.
[ Edmund laughs then, at a memory. ] Ah, no, he made his way to our party, Susan's and mine, and we were so certain that he was the young prince Corin that we took him in with us. They look very much alike.
We were in Calormen, Lucy. Susan had — well, she figured it would be a good idea to meet with Prince Rabadash at his home, as he's travelled so far to speak flatteries in her ear and learn about herself and Narnia. She wanted know what the man was like, in his own home. Her logic was sound, of course. [ Edmund has always had a different view of Rabadash, but then again, he was not the only being courted. He'd had his fears and suspicions, but then, he's never been the kind to trust fully. Rabadash had a smile and a way with words that reminded him of someone he'd rather forget. ] I accompanied her, of course. For her protection, and to strengthen our relations with the southern cities.
Prince Corin was with us, as Archenland's ambassador. He disappeared all of a sudden — and we figured out later that he went and fought a Calormene boy that insulted Susan! — but that's when we found Cor.
