Ning arrived at the beach and saw the clear blue water extend to the horizon where only then did he see the ships.
Moreover, these weren't the typical travel ships or fisherman's ships, but rather military ships that guarded this open side of the King's palace.
Ning wondered why the king didn't simply make his palace at the center of the city like any sane king would do in this situation. But then he remembered how the king was and realized this was probably his choice to show no fear.
"Hurry teacher, hurry! I want to see a biig monster," the little princess shouted at Ning.
Ning turned around to see the cute, little princess and asked. "What sort of beast do you want to see?"
"A big one," she said, gesturing the size with her tiny little arms.
"Umm, do you want to see one that can walk in the land or the ocean?" Ning asked.
"I don't care. Just hurry and summon a big one," she said.
