Once inside, Luana quickly but discreetly let their situation be known, proving her identity by showing the wedding ring she wore around her finger, which came from the collection of family jewels.

After much flustered bowing and hurrying of the police officers, both Robert and Luana were quickly ushered into a police car, which then drove them back to the palace.

Luana looked to Robert as they were driven back, folding her hands in her lap. "What do you plan to do upon arriving?"

"I... don't know..." he murmured, looking away. "My brother... he's all the family in the world I have, but if I go back to my normal life, he'll find me and...."

Luana nodded slowly. "I will see what I can do. Perhaps a job as a servant...?"

"I can do heavy physical labor... I've worked at the docks since I was twelve."

"Hmm." She thought for a moment. "How are you with animals, specifically horses? We could use another stable boy, and you would get a room on the property."

"I've... never really interacted with a horse before..." he murmured sheepishly.

She nodded slowly as the car door was opened and they were allowed to step out into the courtyard of the palace grounds.

Robert waited for her to get out, then slowly got out of the car behind her.
As soon as Ambrose saw Luana, he rushed towards her from where he was waiting just outside the front entrance to the palace, hugging her firmly. "Oh, god, Luana, I'm so glad you're safe...!"

Luana hugged him back gently, pulling away with a smile. "Yes, I'm fine. We're fine." She looked to Robert. "And it's all thanks to him."

Ambrose smiled down to her, unable to disguise the tears coming to his eyes, then looked to Robert. "Thank you... thank you for bringing her back safely.
"W-well.... uh... s-sure...." Robert replied sheepishly, lowering his head.

Luana smiled again. "I'm sorry for worrying you, but it's okay now. Where's Mimi?"

"She's at her home... I'll walk you there, okay?"

She nodded. "Thank you. Have someone see about getting Robert a job here as a stable boy as well, please."

"Of course," Ambrose replied quickly.

"Thank you." She have him a tight hug, beginning to walk towards Mimi's home.

She leaned into him happily, feeling relieved to be back home and beside a friend.

"No. Robert got me out of there before anything serious could happen to me."

Luana smiled. "I promised Robert that I wouldn't send him away. If I am honest, he was one of the kidnappers, but his awful brother was the mastermind."

Ambrose blinked. "Wh-what...? Doesn't that sound just... kind of.... weird..? Why would he help you?"
