Eli
Eli chimed up in his usual gruff way, though smatterings of respect and deference laced his words; having made his way to the area where the questions were being asked as this whole thing got rolling. "Yes ma'am, I have a question and suggestion of sorts." he began...
"Your guards number just a few right now. Loyal to a man, that is plain to see, yet an effort must be made to increase the number, whether by draft or using the newly formed royal army to aid in their duties, until such time as for them to be a self sufficient force. Such numbers cannot patrol the streets with any sort of significant effect in deterring crime, too many areas, too many dark corners. So my question is, do you intend to rectify that in the future so the average citizen may feel safe wandering around at any hour and calmed by the sight of Crown authority patrolling the streets." he finished, dipping his head lightly to her, clearly not many wished to be respectful, and so he rallied to the task.

"Si vis pacem, para bellum." - If you want peace, prepare for war.
