As Lily rose Laylah smiled and watched as she managed to wrangle the children into one of the back rooms to begin schooling. Laylah rose from her seat as she watched them move as she followed behind Dante as he made his way outside with Michael. Laylah grinned as he told Midnight and Nyx to remain and enjoy themselves, the male panther seeming to almost grin as he fell into a crotch before pouncing on Nyx the pair engaging in a playful game of cat and mouse as they moved around.<br/><br/>Laylah watched as a number of horses were lead over to where the three were waiting outside the main house. As the horses came to a stop Laylah smiled her hand moving out to pat at the mane of the black horse which was lead to her side. It had been a while since she had ridden and she couldn’t help but smile as she rose and settled herself on the saddle. As they began to ride Laylah rode at Dante’s side as he lead them through the fields and farmsteads. It was interesting to see the people out working, this place looked a world away from the village they had went past which had been attacked by bandits. These people looked happy and healthy. Laylah didn’t know why that still surprised her. Dante had already proved to be nothing like she thought he was. She followed as they left the paths and went into the forest, before it opened up into a clearing, before her was a large number of barracks with an archery range and training grounds. She hadn’t been expecting this at all, she managed to hide her surprise, as she turned to met his eyes she arched a eyebrow at him.<br/><br/>Laylah nodded in agreement, the council would never give up their power, if he wished to take back the throne and reign it would have to begin with a show of force. She could image that they all had their own secrets and small military at their hands. As he spoke of a plan her curiosity showed on her face as she leaned closer and listened intently to his words, it didn’t surprise her that the humans would be massing numbers and looking to attack. They were violent creatures, she wondered if her queen had also said her and her people would help. She nodded in understanding, they needed to unite the lords and make them all see that they needed to end this pretty fights. They needed to unite once more if they wish to not fall to humans and their overwhelming numbers. “You have a plan to get more lords on your side then ? I mean there must be some who will be more reasonable ?  I get that at least some of them will have to be removed from their seats of power. Some won’t be redeemable. I am assuming.”
