Quote #7
"[…] as for your Ladyship's design of putting me at the head of an army of Earthmen that so I may break out into the Overworld and there, by main force, make myself king over some nation that never did me wrong—murdering their natural lords and holding their throne as a bloody and foreign tyrant—now that I know myself, I do utterly abhor and renounce it as plain villainy." (12.172)
Now that Rilian has been freed from enchantment, he sees the queen's plans for what they truly are. But although his judgment has cleared in this respect, Rilian has a hard time seeing past her femininity: He's very glad in the end that she transforms into a serpent so he doesn't have to kill a "lady."

"My royal mother is avenged," said Rilian presently. "This is undoubtedly the same worm that I pursued in vain by the fountain in the forest of Narnia, so many years ago. All these years I have been the slave of my mother's slayer." (12.185)
Okay, we might have guessed that the queen was behind everything from the very beginning (but we haven't been enchanted). Greater and greater awareness comes to Rilian after he defeats the Queen of Underland.

For, with the strength of Aslan in them, Jill plied her crop on the girls and Eustace plied the flats of their swords on the boys so well that in two minutes all the bullies were running like mad, crying out "Murder! Fascists! Lions! It isn't fair." (16.241)
It's always such a funny thing for bullies when the shoe is on the other foot—they seem to have a very good sense of injustice when they feel it's being done to them. At this moment, otherworldly justice seems too much for the gang of bullies that had been pursuing Jill and Eustace when they left Experiment House. Now that Jill and Eustace have returned carrying sword and whip, they don't like a show of strength so very much.
