“For never since we four were kings and queens of Narnia have we set our hands to any high matter ….but what we have taken in hand, the same we have achieved. Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen of Narnia!” (p 187)This quote is stated by Peter Pevansie .He states this after they became rulers of Narnia and are grown up. This quote states what the Pevansies have accomplished since they became rulers of Narnia.
