"Your Majesty, you mustn't!"
Count Stafford once more advised against it.
Charlotte sighed, saying,
"I know you are concerned for my safety, but... since you are willing to acknowledge me as the Falling Star Queen, then... naturally, I cannot abandon my loyal subjects in a critical moment."
"After all, providing protection for followers is a Lord's duty."
Watching Charlotte's righteous demeanor, Count Stafford had a complex expression on his face.
He too sighed and said,
"Your Majesty, I appreciate your concern, but... now is not the time to act tough."
"You hold the title of the Holy Royal Court's Saintess, blessed by the Gods, but the Kraken is also a deity's Favored."
"The Kraken is a genuine Legendary Demon Beast, no... it is even more terrifying than legends suggest, it is said to have even devoured Gods!"
"Pardon my bluntness, but it is invincible in the sea, and in the sea, attacks from Divine Arts are almost ineffective against it!"
