Lauralye let out a small sigh when the guards lowered their swords. However, with her in the way, there wasn't much else they could do that wouldn't be considered treason. She was grabbed and pulled away once more when Robert's arms were restrained behind his back. She looked around, bewildered. This made not sense, he hadn't done anything wrong. 

"Release him," Lauralye said in a voice unlike her own. It was powerful and demanding as it echoed off the stone walls. The guards looked at her confused, the one holding her immediately let go. She looked to her father, "Again, you are punishing the innocent for being innocent."

Her attention went back to the guards, "Release him now."

The guards quickly scrambled to unlock Robert's restraints as her father made no attempts to go against his daughter. Lauralye held Robert's arm with one hand and looked at her father, "You have bestowed him upon me, Father. I get to choose what happens to him."

She gave her father a curt nod before pulled Robert away.
