Coast of Vivia

"Hurry up... if the guards see us we'll be screwed over..." One whispered harshly to the approaching ship, despite the fact they obviously couldn't
"Who ordered foreign weapons... hell, who started arming us, are we going to start an uprising? Doesn't seem like our Modus Operandi..." His partner asked, turning to him
"Who cares, just do what you're told and keep your head down." There was the snap of a twig from behind them as the ship approached, but they didn't hear it over the sound of the smuggling boat dropping anchor just off the coast. A long boat dropped from the ship, carrying the weapons over towards the coast line, making ground upon beach. The two rushed over to the smugglers to unload the weapons.

Then there was a crack, the sound of a musket being fired towards them, and all the men ducked down. There was a yell and just over the ridge came about 10 watchmen, five with rifles and the others with swords and pistols. They took aim down towards the landing ships
"Hands into the air, rebel scum!" The Guard captain called out, clicking back the hammer on his pistol. The darkness had provided good cover for the men of Corustaria, and from behind a rocky coastal ridge came a small Corustarian ship, the signal having been the gunshot, and moved to intercept the smuggler ship.

Princess Burrows own speech

"As I'm sure you know, two days ago an interesting discovery was made. Along the banks of Vivia, brave guardsmen captured two rebels who were bringing in weaponry from Drakran smugglers. Anti-Foreign rebels bringing in foreign weapons, that is what we found... I... I think that this displays their true colours their... disloyalty not just to the country but to their own cause... The watch informant who... I mean, the lo..." The Princess sped up, trying to catch her 'mistake' quickly, but gave up and backed away from the stand quickly, turning away and giving up on the speech. No one could see her smile as she did... Anti-Foreign rebels caught importing foreign weapons. All orchestrated by Corustarian spies and Drakran's president, but of course, the rebels and civilians didn't know that. Corustarian agents had been ordered to keep their heads slow to avoid the inevitable witch hunt the rebels would likely launch. A bold move, but hopefully effective
