As the king was dragged away, the royal guards lined up and saluted Caspian. He nodded at them and turned around, facing the rest of the nobles. "I think we have had enough grand speeches for today," Caspian said, then took a cup of wine and raised it toward the others.
"Death is always there, lying in wait for each of us. She's a restless but patient lady; there's no reason to rush. So today we should all drink, dance, and celebrate love and life, because today we have prevented a pointless war, and tomorrow will be the best day of our lives,"
There was a moment of total silence in the hall before everyone exploded in a tumultuous cheer of happiness. After a while, Caspian demanded the crowd's attention once again. He looked toward Falcon and signaled for him to come forward and stand beside him.
