As the Dawn Treader left Ramandu's island, it travelled further East towards the End of the World. Edmund was eager to learn, and spent countless hours observing or discussing with the men. Poor Lucy however, felt sick to her heart and knew that she had lost Caspian to Narnia. She spent her days sitting (in the shade, for Edmund would lecture her so if she grew pink from the sun), watching the waves as they hit the ship, and counting the moments until she could see Caspian again, ever fearful that the next encounter would never come.

Early each evening, Lucy would wait for Caspian to approach her. Although it had always been Lucy who had gone to Caspian, she had realised (when on Ramandu's island, for such thoughts do not appear without a cause) that it had been presumptuous of her: for Lucy, Queen of Narnia though she was, could not stay. And it was for Narnia that Lucy remained by the side of the ship. She knew it had been very rude of her to approach Caspian before (although such rudeness is often forgiven in those that we love, and Caspian loved her very much), and although it upset her greatly to absent herself from Caspian, she knew that he needed a Real Narnian by his side, and Ramandu's daughter would make a far better Queen of Narnia than Lucy ever did.

Caspian did not understand why Lucy no longer approached him, and so, careful not to offend her, he quietly treaded around her, and made plans for the End of the World.
