"Peter was accused of regicide, briefly, but technically while he was duelling the man he didn't kill him, and it could be argued he wasn't a king to begin with. Traitor, though, and either murderer or soldier... Aye, that much I can understand, as well as some days being worse than others."

A faint smile, of the sort Mordred will most likely understand, and few enough others might.

"Luck of some sort, I suppose, that the history of Narnia seems to have favoured me more than that of England chose to favour you."
