Elanor was with Josephine when Thorvald and Alexis finally made it up to the sitting room near the door of the Palace.
"I had heard that you were pregnant from the boys, but I wasn't sure how far along you were, so I picked somewhere near the door," Josephine joked as her sister entered the room.
"It hasn't been that long since you saw me, I'm not so pregnant as to be an invalid."
"I don't know, you look pretty large to me."
"And that's my cue to leave you fine ladies to your own devices. I will see you later, wifey." Thorvald announced, right before fleeing the room.
"Well, he didn't last long. How are things going for you in West Keria?" Alexis asked.
"It's not bad. Northinta has dryer weather than we do here in the Capital, but it is also warmer. That's nice. They've also agreed to let me start building up a proper Paladin Order for the Duchy.
That's going to be a long project, it takes years to train up a proper Paladin, even if you're starting with trained soldiers.
