Looking at the two fully armed warships approaching, the captain, guards, and sailors were on high alert.
Swords were drawn, crossbows loaded.
Unable to determine if they were friends or foes.
If they were friends, they might request help from the Lienhardt Grand Duchy in the name of the nation.
But if they were enemies...
Their hearts sank; even though they were prepared to sacrifice themselves, they would do everything to protect the safety of the Lady.
"Brave soldiers, please temporarily put down your weapons,"
The Lady suddenly stood up, her melodious voice like a lark resounding.
Everyone was startled, and the captain asked in puzzlement, "My Lady, we can't afford to lower our guard until we know whether they are enemies or friends!"
"Exactly. If we brandish our weapons first, we might turn someone who was friendly or had the potential to become a friend into an enemy."
