"I've come for the girl. Did you think no one would find out that you're holding her here against her will? You, your friend, and two others. I have friends too, and they'll be here in a minute.

Anyway, bring the girl out here under any pretext. We're going to return her to her father. We don't abandon our own, and if someone hurts ours, that's it, vendetta. First, my friends will arrive, then all the soldiers here, and then the entire city guard, if you don't hand over the captive willingly.
