Yoshina should've seen it coming.

She should've told the group to perhaps go farther from the forest. The wild elven threat was still visible and all, but no, the Princess was too distracted with the small wonder of the Elven mage burning away all of his little sticks that she didn't sense the Wild Elves suddenly arriving and holding Thomas, apparently the Privateer's son, hostage. And then forcing everyone to watch a death match between the Privateer and person called Nemnon. She isn't sure who he is, but the way these Yosei talk about him, it seems like that he is their leader.

This would've been humiliating enough for Yoshina if there wasn't an extra bit of precaution these Yosei took on her. They only looked at her muscles and they decided that this woman is too dangerous to be left unattended, and decided to include some very thick ropes around her hands, body, and even legs. The sheer sight of seeing the Sangakuan Princess being bound like that is enough for her to feel immense shame, but the hobbling into the potential deathmatch was yet another pang into her conscience.

She will not leave the forest bound like some Wild Boar some hunters caught. No way, but unfortunately for now, hobbling and trying to keep pace with the group is all she can do. Of course the Elves took away her Naginata, much to her disapproval.

[color=9e0b0f]"Ugh. A Sangakuan Princess should not be bound like this."[/color] she commented on her predicament. [color=9e0b0f]"Shina, why did they tie me up and not you and your animal friend? The bonds on my chest are so tight I can barely breathe, and I can't move much. Ugh, this sucks."[/color]

To be honest, this reminded her of the (far too many) times she had been mistaken for someone else and treated like some prisoner or captive, she mentions the oubliette. But there are times where she was just bound by bandits, mistaken as some madwoman due to her dress and thrown into their equivalent of an asylum, being desired by some local noble and getting bound in a mansion as a result, and many, many other weird events during her travels. She always escaped though, much to her relief, and she will escape from this predicament again (or at least she hopes so). But she has no intention being bound like this and seeing Thaddeus die like that.

She would rather take the killing blow for him rather than watch helplessly like this.
