Her Royal Guard, which was now conversing with Dao, tried to surround him. "You are to come to our lady now. Else your trespassing may be seen as an act war against our Butterfly!" One of them shouted, the Royal Guards then dropped their guards, showing Dao that they originally meant no harm if he were to cooperate and meet her highness. We will take said bandits into Mandisan custody, once her highness decides what to do with them, they may leave. I ask that you and your men accompany us to the palace." They all began to lower their blades.
Soon the guard had noticed Kanji walking towards them and took back up their arms. Many of the acrobatic guards got into their stances before the one that had been talking with Dao spoke up. "You there! If you seek audience with her highness than drop your weapon immediately, your men the same! The Butterfly will not stand for such invasion of Mandisan soil! All of you may converse with her so long as you adhere to my command and drop your arms! I ask both of you, do you wish to adhere to my command and meet her highness, or risk a battle and a declaration of war of Mandisan soil?" The royal guard left the open ended question for both Kanji and Dao to answer, ready to fight those who did not seek audience in a peaceful manner. Although the Royal Guard was determined to protect their soil, many of them seemed very fearful at the numerous troops of different nations that seemed to be converging in The Butterfly's city.
