Her nonchalance at his mention of the photograph should not have surprised him, but it did, if only a little.  But of course, he thought, the realization suddenly dawning on him.  The Princess is probably used to being followed and spied on, what with her being such a party girl.  He smirked at the thought.<br/><br/>“All good and valid points, Princess,” Orion replied.  “Now I’m beginning to wonder which of our mothers was behind the sneakiness.”  He laughed, and then added, “Who am I kidding?  It’s probably the both of them.”<br/><br/>The Prince smiled at her faux concern, while reassuring her, “The face is fine, Highness.  And believe me, it did indeed leave a mark, as Mother focused on it as soon as she saw it.  Nevertheless, that is all behind us now.  We have a picnic to enjoy soon, with a superb view to enjoy.”  They were just about to reach the prime spot he had in mind all along.
