Panel 82

---

Garrin doesn't trust the scribe, nor does he want the princess to leave his sight for a number of reason, especially if she'll be naked and defenseless 'It isn't safe to be alone with them, your highness I will dress you myself' the magpie's mind can't help but excitedly dwell on the necessary process of undressing the lovely Reefa.

the non-imaginary Reefa gives a confused look 'not safe? what possible danger could there be?'

Garrin blinks having been asked such an obvious question 'these people, we cannot trust them Princess'

Princess Reefa's response is quick and harsh. 'these people are citizens of the realms! this Merchant has offered me the very robe off her back! they've offered to clothe and take care of us! I will not spit in the face of loyalty to the crown, on baseless paranoia!'

Garrin is confused by the princess's defense of these boot lickers, he tries a compromise 'You must remain in my sight your highness, I insist for your safety. perhaps you can be dressed behind a thin screen or-'

-but the princess is clearly not interested. you Insist?! that is not your right! you serve my family you do not command it!
Garrin attempts to counter but the royal does not give him the chance 'I refuse to hide in fear from my own people! I will not treat every man woman and child as a potential assassin! I will not remain in your sight at all times. If you cannot protect me under these conditions . . . W-Well I'll have to find someone else. . . someone more competent to protect me!'
Princess Reefa's posture is defiant and she seems eager to burst into another rant, but waits for a response first.

Garrin will have to choose his next words or actions carefully
