"But that's a matter for another time. Why do you interfere here, Prince..?"
"Oh, you don't know my name?" The young man laughed. "My, but you are an ignorant one, aren't you? It is below my royal person to answer such trivial questions."
Catching his meaning, one of the gate guards piped up. "This is Crown Prince Pliant, milady. He -"
The guardv was silenced as Pliant held up a hand. "That's enough. As to why I chose to aid you here, I do as I wish, my reasons not for the lower orders to wonder of. However," and here his eyes twinkled, "if you would do yourself the pleasure of having dinner with me tonight in the palace, mayhap I may be persuaded to be more... forthcoming."
Dauphin really didn't know what to say. Obviously, she needed to get inside the city, and to offend the Crown prince would not be a good idea, but after how she'd seen him deal with other people she wasn't sure if she wanted to spend even another moment in his wretched company.
