"Lily? What a beautiful name for an equally beautiful lady." He couldn't see past her mask, but he had a hunch that she was breathtakingly gorgeous underneath it. He offered her a charming smile, his eyes glimmering in mirth. If there was one thing that he was good at (besides being a rogue), it was charming the ladies. He had never met a lady that didn't swoon over him. It made things quite easy for him to take advantage of when he required it. Hopefully, he could butter her up and make her forget any suspicions she had towards him. He really didn't need this woman poking about his business while he was trying to rob the royal family.<br/><br/>If only he knew that this woman was actually the princess. He would have been more on guard or perhaps tried to use her to his advantage. But alas, he had no clue. However, something she said caught his attention and he looked at her in mild curiosity. She was a good friend of the princess? Perhaps this could be used to his advantage in some way. "Is that so? Perhaps the princess is hiding away like you tried to do." He seemed amused at the thought, not finding it odd at all.<br/><br/>"You know, women aren't the only ones that have to deal with potential suitors. Men can have it just as bad as the women when it comes to that. Some women are like harpies if you catch my drift." Perhaps he should let her drift off to the gardens. Then he could sneak back to where he was and resume scoping out the place. He needed to find the riches and begin his plan. Chatting away to some woman (as beautiful as she was) would only serve to hinder him and he absolutely could not have that happen.
