In the book “The Silver Chair” by C.S. Lewis, does the chair temporarily break the curse cast on the prince?
I don’t know if the prince really does turn evil, or if his curse is temporarily broken. I would assume that the curse is broken, but I’m not sure. Thanks to everyone who helped!

The prince has been held under enchantment by the Lady of the Green Kirtle, or the witch. He is bound to the silver chair by night, when he is in his right mind, but by day he is bewitched and under her spell.
“He [the prince] had been speaking in a low voice; now he looked up, fixed his eyes upon them [the children, Jill and Eustace, and Puddleglum the Marshwiggle], and said loud and clear:
‘Quick! I am sane now. Every night I am sane. If only I could get out of this enchanted chair, it would last. I should be a man again. But every night they bind me, and so every night my chance is gone… Quick! Cut these cords.’”
The curse, or enchantment, is broken when the Eustace and Puddleglum cut the cords which bind the prince. Rilian destroys the silver chair, there is a bright flash, a sound like small thunder and, for a moment, a loathesome smell.
“Lie there, vile engine of sorcery”, he said, “lest your mistress should ever use you for another victim.”
From “The Silver Chair”, on my bookshelf.
