Peter raised an eyebrow as he looked at Caspian. He had a small feeling that she was lying about him threatening. But he kept that to himself. He could have almost kicked himself when Caspian asked about his sister. He must have hide her from his followers, he thought with a slightly hurtful and painful look. He bit the inside of his cheek to keep from saying anything. "Did he by any chance let something slip dear?" he asked softly.

Caspian had the same suspicion. He just listend curiously, searching for anything that might help them. "Are you sure he didn't threaten you? Did he mention anything about that beast he always has with him? Or Aslan?" The King asked.

They know something...
She saw the pain and hurt in Peter's eyes and got teary eyed, herself. This was all so much. She felt like the world was collapsing in on her, twisting around her. She didn't want to lie anymore. But she knew, that, if she did...
Shaking her head, she whispered,
"Lamont... he took me prisoner..."
So far, the truth...

Peter wrapped both arms around her waist and held her closer. The truth was coming out...bits and pieces, he thought. "Why did he take you prisoner Lyric?" he so wanted to kill Lamont right now. A fresh surge of anger went through him. Calm down, he thought. Calm down.

Caspian shot Peter a warning glance. Don't attack anyone. It read. The King raised his shield ever-so-slightly to make his silent concern clear. He waited for Lyric to speak again. "Go on." he said.

"...awhile ago..."
Still true.
"He kept me there awhile..."
Still true.
"...As a slave only."
Lie. He'd been training her to be his little spy. The rest was truth and it came spilling out with a wave of tears.
"He forced me to work and hie men, they hurt me, and I saw terrilbe things... I ran becasue it was the only option out of that... that place other than death, which was starting so seem so good compared to there..."
She put her face in hands. She actually had considered ending it. Things there weren't plesant... far from it...

Peter gave Caspian a hard look. I won't unless you want me to kill the little bastard With every word she spoke, his anger started to rise. "The little bastard," he spat. His eyes blazed like cold stones as he held her tightly. "What I won't give to hurt the-" Peter had stronger words to say, of course. But he knew he wouldn't say it in front of Lyric. He said them in his mind instead.

Caspian didn't like what he was hearing. Didn't like it at all. "Are there more of you?" he asked. "Slaves, I mean." The King paced back and forth in rage. Each minute -every second that passed by, he hated his cousin more. He snarled at the thought that Lamont was actually his blood.

"...no"
That was true, too.
She felt better in Peter's arms. She wanted to close her eyes and fall asleep there, but of course, this wasn't the time and place. So she just sniffed, trying to hold back her tears.

Peter was silent as he watched Caspian. His mind whirling with thoughts. Then another thought occured to him. Maybe she knows where his hideout is, the young king thought with a start. "Lyric, do you know where Lamont's hideout is at?" he inquired innocently.

Caspian sat down and waited for her to answer. He felt bad for her. And he felt angry at his cousin. But he tried not to make things any worse by stopping his pacing.

Peter sighed and shook his head. He leaned his head on her shoulder as he tightened his grip. He bit down on his lower lip, trying to keep his anger at Lamont hidden. Peter raised his hand and placed it on her head. "Lyric, are you allright dear?" he asked with concern. He looked at Caspian as if to say Now what?

Caspian answered with a look that said, Maybe we should stop asking so many questions. I think she's getting uncomfortable. The King decided to leave them alone for a bit. He stood up and asked them, "Can I get you guys anything?"

Peter looked at Caspian. "A cold towel and some water for Lyric? And for me some wine will do Caspian if you please," he said. "But not the strong kind," he turned back to Lyric and started cuddling her. "I'm sorry if we made you uncomfortable love," he whispered. "But we need to know so we can stop Lamont from gaining Caspian's throne."
