Baron had gone...
So she went downstairs to look for him....
"Good morning! I hope you slept well.
Won't you join me for a little breakfast?"
Won't you join me for a little breakfast?"
"Good morning. Yes, I slept rather well..... thank you."
"If you don't mind my asking, it this what breakfast looks like here every morning?"
"Heavens no! The kitchen staff heard that Baron was back, and that he had a very special young lady with him...."
"I think they wanted to impress you....and went a little overboard..."
"So, please take a seat and try a little."
"Yes, thank you. I will. Have you seen Baron?
Baron and the Prince
Naomi sat down to breakfast with Baron's Mother.
"So, have you seen Baron? Do you know where he is?"
"So, have you seen Baron? Do you know where he is?"
"Yes, he went to see the King. Lawrence has been asking about him for weeks, and wanted to see him as soon as he returned. You were sleeping so soundly, Baron didn't want to wake you so thought he'd let you rest, and he'd go see the King."
"The King?? Your husband, his Father?"
"My goodness no! I am Queen of the Fairies, but Lawrence rules over the Kingdom of Man. He is not my husband.
He and Baron are the same age, and have been best friends ever since they were boys. They first met in school.
Being my son, Baron was entitled to a formal education befitting his noble status."

They enjoyed many of the same things..."

Like Brothers
Naomi loved hearing about Baron's childhood.
"It must have been wonderful to have had such a good friend."
"It must have been wonderful to have had such a good friend."
"Yes it was. The two boys were inseparable, and spent a lot of time together."
"They both loved horses....."
"...and could go riding for hours."
"It was something they both enjoyed, and was one of their favourite things to do...."
"...even as they got older."
Winds of Change
"The two men were close friends.....but things were about to change..."
"One Christmas, Lawrence met a young, noble lady....and fell in love."
"He asked her to marry him....."
"..and they were wed shortly after."
"The Prince asked Baron to be his Best Man."
"It was a lovely wedding."
"But Lawrence's carefree bachelor days were over."
