"Then, what should I address you as, hm?" He asked curiously. If he learnt her name, he would be able to find her once he was out of confinement, right?
He waited patiently. He hadn't told her his complete name either. But ….he had his reasons. It's not that he looked down on her. But she did appear to be quite naive. He hoped she would trust him enough to tell him her true identity.
"Princess." She smiled showing all her teeth. She was clearly a princess, but her brother refused to address her as one. And then there were those maids. All addressing her as "Her highness" or "Your highness". Her brother could be addressed as crown prince. But she couldn't be addressed as crown princess?
He was slightly disappointed. Unwilling to give up, he probed again, "Alright princess, but don't you have any other names?"
She stared at him with raised brows. As if trying to figure out the intention behind this seemingly simple query.
