Lauralye smiled as she watched Robert with the little boy before looking around. When it seemed that everyone was ready she took hold of her horse's reins and guided it back to the palace. She only wished that they had enough horses for those that followed on foot. She had never expected this many people to be without a home. She wondered how long they all were suffering.... How many of them her father had ignored. 

When they arrived back at the palace she told a guard to tell the chef to start cooking. She walked over to Robert's horse while a knight helped the pregnant woman down. She reached up and pulled the boy down and he was grinning at her, "Hello, your majesty."

"Why hello, Joseph was it?"

The boy nodded his head vigorously, causing Robert's helmet to rock wildly on his head. Lauralye smiled and placed him on the ground, "And where are your parents, Joseph?"

"... Not here, ma'am," Joseph saying, his face falling a little.

Lauralye gave him a soft smile, "Mine neither," She took his hand and looked over her shoulder and Robert, grinning. She nodded her head toward the palace before she walked in with Joseph.
