"It is fine Princess..." he said low enough where the other guards couldn't hear.  "You are right not to trust all those that would get close to you .  Some would earn your favor for less honorable reason's than I..as I said before there is not much I can do in the way of your protection, I cannot stop the guards from having their way, though I can try to dissuade them. But, if there was an escape attempted..I would do my best to lead the others after you in the opposite direction."
