Lyanna, despite the fear gripping her heart, quickly forced herself to regain composure. She took a slow breath, then stepped forward, addressing the ridge giants with as much grace as she could muster.
"Giants, there is no battle here. This was simply a misunderstanding, and we've already settled it Through talking and punishing the one who was at fault and he won't be able to do that any more… I assure you."
Because he was dead… as simple as that.
The leading giant observed the situation, noting how the elves had put away their weapons. He finally gave a slow nod.
"Hmph. That is good. But remember this, human. You might rule the richest lands of the Continent, but do not bring your arrogance into this forest. This is the domain of Elves. Arrogance here will only bring you destruction."
Lyanna swallowed, forcing a weak smile. The giants saw humans as greedy, arrogant creatures, and she couldn't even argue with them. They weren't wrong.
