bedlamsbardI am strongly resisting the urge to write a story from the POV of a young princess who comes to Cair Paravel with a delegation from her home country, who are hoping to strengthn the alliance between Narnia and their country with a marriage between the princess and Peter. Since she is not one of the seven fiancees (I just had to look through my list of fiancees and see if she fit, and the only one she could be is number two, which is I think a little too early), it clearly didn't go all that well.
Actually, I think she may have been the last presumptive fiancee; I think she was in Narnia during the White Stag incident, and the hunt was in honor of her country's delegation. (The only way I can rationalize the presence of crowns and the lack of weapons is that the Pevensies were playing the diplomacy game, and one of them got fed up by it and took off, so the others followed.) Which, you know, tends to put a damper on any wedding plans.
Also, the book would be written diary style. Like the Royal Diaries! (Oh, come on, tell me you read those when you were a kid.)
Actually, kind of curiously, this is one of the historical documents that people look at to describe the court at Cair Paravel, since the princess was fairly observant, and also wrote down a lot of things that can be variously interpreted (the various affairs of the Royal Family, some political maunderings, one of the great debates about whether talking animals are just as intelligent as humans or not, etc.).
