As sovereign lady of this land, Your Ladyship needs to accept that your safety can never be guaranteed. The best leaders, divine and mortal alike, do not solely rely on the protection vouchsafed for them by heaven.

[Of course, he means Hiryuu and Yona.]

Their own bravery compels them to be leaders in truth as well as title. Of course your loyal shinki will always be at your call, and of course they will do their best to never let you be vulnerable, but given you were already vulnerable today, you must know that they will sometimes fail. That lack of preparation, lack of something to fall back on, makes people wonder if you are capable of making the correct decisions in other instances. It calls Your Ladyship's judgment into question, and makes everyone wonder if these so-called insurgents might not have a point in opposing you.

Having served gods and kings for more than a lifetime, Zeno wishes for Your Ladyship's continued prosperity and is relieved to hear of your safety. Zeno would like to see Your Ladyship be a queen worthy to serve, but as it stands, there is not enough information available to me to make that judgment, and what is available paints Your Ladyship as a pleasant person, but a weak leader.
