You know today all the carrots in the City seem to be on sale. It made this very easy, and also quite within a budget. But I finally got his Royal Majesty, King Caspian X, King of Narnia, Emperor of the Lone Islands, Lord of Cair Paravel, Duke of the Lantern Waste, Duke of Galma and the Seven Isles, Count of the Western March, and Lord of Telmar his rightful tribute.

It's only fitting that his majesty gets his due, after all.



[There is a crate of carrots at the Blue Light. How Edmund got them there is a mystery.]

...doesn't that devalue gold?

Look, Edmund, it's called Grahamonomics, okay? It doesn't have to make sense.

Er. No? It's not as though we use it frivolously, of course. Just when people need it.

Edmund says he had to learn all about the GD treasury, okay?

[wandbreaker]

I'll take your word on that.

Many before him have tried to convince her that this is not a feasible economic theory. All failed.

There are much better treasures to use frivolously, anyway. When they're working at all, that is.

There are a lot of magical treasures in Daventry, then?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

Only three! A magic mirror, a magic shield, and the magic chest. And that's how Daddy became king, by finding them all and bringing them back for us.

[wandbreaker]

What do the others do?

[primrosella.livejournal.com]

The magic mirror always tells the future and tells it true--er, when it's not clouded over, that is--and the magic shield protects the bearer from all harm. So they're very important, as you can see.

[wandbreaker]

I do see.

And in any case, we have them all back now, so all's well that ends well.
