Sabine: A drought and threats from surrounding kingdoms caused the increased encroachment upon the forest surrounding your lair that deprived you of your usual prey. When you turned to attacking livestock, my Kingdom sent adventurers-

Brielle: And when you kidnapped Princess Sabine, they sent me to end you!

You had no idea who you'd kidnapped, you just wanted a hostage to bring an end to the incursions. Now they may send their army.

Sabine: We can negotiate on your behalf if you release us.
