HitRomance
the man chuckles Im the princesses son

HitRomance
he pulls out his cloak and shows her the crest
examines the crest closely, then nods approvingly Very well, you seem to be telling the truth. But it's still not safe to trust you completely just yet.
HitRomance
why not
crosses her arms Because we still don't know who sent you or their true intentions. Until we have more information, we can't afford to trust anyone.
HitRomance
he nods okay
