Nobunaga considered what she had heard. Personally, she had her doubts about Lazhira's guilt, but pursuing what information she held would be useful regardless of that. Indeed, there was quite a bit to process, but for the moment they had to deal with these hunters. Part of the petite girl simply considered killing them, but that was far less useful then leaving them alive in the end. Furthermore, she had stayed her blade and now they stood unarmed. She did not wish to foster an image that she would murder the unarmed on sight.

At least, not yet. That could wait until she required a more threatening reputation.

Still, she raised her katana towards the men.

"Indeed, you can. But not like this. You have, after all, participated in rather dangerous acts," Nobunaga stated, plainly, "Novak, check them for rope, or anything else you could use to bind their hands. They should be judged by their own. Their surrender has afforded them that."

Her crimson gaze fell upon the hunters once more.

"If you resist, I will cut you down without a moment's hesitation. I am certain you must understand why I do not feel comfortable letting you run free just yet, do you not?"
