<span style="font-family:Handlee">Movement caught her attention as she turned, catching a glimpse of a person running away. However, the figure (soon revealed to be a male) paused and turned to look at her in turn. Her green eyes quickly assessed his face, noting that he was actually quite handsome. She realized quickly that she had never seen him before. She was uncertain about why he would be running from her unless it was because he had been startled and it was some kind of knee-jerk reaction. She knew they hired all sorts of people to be servants, after all. <br/>
<br/>
As he spoke, she tilted her head as she regarded him. She raised a finely sculpted blonde eyebrow at him, looking curious as she gazed at him. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4da6">"Why am I not allowed to be here?"</span> As the princess, she was technically allowed to go where she pleased. However, this man did not realize to whom he was addressing and she had no intention of revealing who she was. She did not wish to be sent back to her rooms so long as he didn't know who she was, she didn't have to worry about him informing the guards of her presence. <br/>
<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4da6">"If no one comes here and is not allowed here, then does that not mean that you too are not allowed here?"</span> There was a smile blooming on her lips as she regarded him, taking a step closer towards him. She made sure not to trip over the skirts of her robe and nightgown, not wanting to fall and embarrass herself. She easily picked up on the fact that he seemed ready to bolt and that made her a little suspicious. Why was he so uneasy that he wanted to run from her presence? Was he not a servant then?<br/>
<br/>
<span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4da6">"I have never seen you before and I know most of the servants. Are you new?"</span> She wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt and she hoped that he wouldn't run from her. She took another step towards him, smiling kindly at him. <span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff4da6">"It is all right. You do not need to run. I will not tell anyone that you are here if you return the favor and not inform anyone that I am here as well."</span> <br/>
