"Could you take off your hood ma'am"
"Sorry, but my identity is sensitive and I'd like to keep it a secret."
"That's suspicious and would just force me to need to take you into custody," a man dressed in iron armour said, signalling his comrades who were behind him, his hand already on the hilt of his sword.
Before the soldier was a woman totally covered in brown cloak, her hand and lower face the only visible part of her body
"There is no need for that, could you just deliver this to the Lord Montreil, Tell him it's a matter of secretive emergency. I won't go anywhere. Please."
Taking in by the woman's plea, the man held up his hand to his comrades who had already aggressively surrounded the woman and then he looked at what rested in her palm.
What the woman held out was a necklace with a coiling dragon pendant and after silently observing it for some seconds, the soldier moved back and headed into the guard house behind him.
