Lauralye nodded her head when he assured her that he would protect her, not hurt her. She tried her best to believe it and decided that he had not proved that he would do otherwise... The moment she stepped out of the room, her arm was seized and she was yanked away from Robert, who now had swords held to his throat. Lauralye to her father, "What is happening?"

"We heard you scream, darling," The king glared at Robert, "What did he do?"

Lauralye shook her head, "No, I saw... A spider. You know how frightened I am of them. I was merely showing Robert around when I saw it and screamed."

The guards did not lower their swords nor did her father give them the order to. She pulled herself out of the guard who held her's hold and stepped between Robert and the guards, "He's done nothing wrong. There is no reason to treat him like a criminal... Please, lower your swords."
