That made her laugh. "Ha-HA! Order? I don't order none. We beckon, we suggest, invite, inspire and sometimes even insist though we do not order. So, not your liege, you say?"
Even as a queen, there had never been any point to it.
She turned to the guards, a little vexed. The was warm, sharp tone to her voice.
"Really, if you she has no authority here, why are you all troubling them? 'Starting to sound like another invasion to me."
The troops avert their eyes from the great fairy, but the commander looks back at Pha and replies in a calm tone:
“The great deku tree herself decreed the Hyrulian royal lineage would rule the elves in this land and waters until she decreed otherwise. However as you can see some old people still refuse to accept the truth from centuries ago.”
The older elf spats back:
“You twist the great Deku's words! She said we had to obey the human king and queen! But you're now demanding we obey some immature child that hasn't risen to the throne yet! Not even a royal decree with the proper seals.”
The human commander sounds quite offended:
“Elf, dare you suggest the great princess Griselda doesn't act on the king's own will? There was no time for getting an official order, this is an emergency!”
Then everybody pauses as they notice Gompa making his speech and the Kong carrying the glowing jewel from the skies into the ship.
“S-Stop that mushroom thing!”-shouts the commander, guards moving to intercept.
“Gompa is a servant of the great fairy.”-snickers the older elf, and the guards hesitate.
The guard commander looks confused for the first time, then smiles:
“Well, clearly even the mushroom aknowledges the safety of the boat and the wisdom of the princess.”
The older elf then straightens up and talks in a more peaceful tone:
“Now, if this Griselda is so great and wise as you speak of, then I would like to talk with her first, confirm that she's not just a spoiled child, and also check this boat's conditions to confirm it's truly safe for our people.”
“You request an audience with the princess??? Know your place! But if that's what's needed to get you in the boat, I'm sure the princess will forgive this interruption. Fine. Guards, make sure those elves don't make anything stupid while we're gone. But if anybody else wants to join this is probably your once-in-a- lifetime chance to personally talk to princess Griselda!”
The commander starts personally escorting the older elf into the boat's deck, moving towards the door, the remaining guards and elves remaining in silent expectation, none of the locals seemingly willing to accept the commander's offer.
You enter the ship's deck, seeing some more guards and several cannons lining up the walls, some sailors already climbing the mast ropes to fix the hole in the sail. The commander makes a nod and some more guards join your group's rear, clearly to keep an eye on you as you're led into the stairs leading to the ship's interior. Although there's not much time to admire any details, you can see the craftmanship of the vessel is clearly both refined and pratical. You're escorted through a wooden corridor that leads to a door on the back of the ship, more soldiers standing guard at the wals. You notice the hyrulian royal insignia on the door's front before it is opened and you're led inside.
The interior is neatly organized, books, flowers scrolls and jewelery carefully arranged across the walls and furniture along rich tapestries showing ancient scenes. There's also some elegant looking swords, bows and a couple of harps. A young blonde woman in the middle smiles at you. Her clothes seem relatively simple, but the jewels and gold she wears seem both of very high-quality.
“Any problem, commander? I wasn't expecting guests. Who are you?”-her voice is cheerful, yet there is the tone of a order behind her last words as she looks directly at you.
Both the leader of the guards and the older elf open their mouth to reply but seems momentarily at a loss of words at the moment, leaving you the opportunity to speak first.
Spot and sense motive checks please.
