Rillian:
Madam, there will be no more need of that chair. And you who have told me a
hundred times how deeply you pitted me for the sorceries by which I was bound,
will doubtlessly hear with joy that they are now ended forever. There was it
seems some small error in your ladyship’s way of treating them. These, my true
friends, have delivered me. I am now in my right mind and there are two things
I will say to you. First, as for your ladyships design of putting me at the
head of an army of earthmen so that I may break out into the over world and
there by main force make myself king over some nation that never did me wrong
murdering their natural lords and holding there throne as a bloody and foreign
tyrant, now that I know myself, I do utterly abhor and renounce it as plain
villainy. And second, I am the king’s son of Narnia, Rillian, the only child of
Caspian, tenth of that name, whom some call Caspian the Seafarer; therefore
madam it is my purpose as it is also my duty to depart suddenly from your highness’s
court into my own country. Please it you to grant me and my friends safe
conduct and a guide through your dark realm.
