"Right, Private. I wasn't trying to break into your conversation Princess. Maybe a locked door would have sufficed?"

He replied with a brief chuckle at Natalia's reaction. To whatever was going on, he didn't have to say much. From the few moments he's worked and known her, she wasn't a bad person and definitely not a bad princess. He's seen his share of terrible nobles before. Natalia, fortunately did not fit that label and her other self was definitely enjoying the fact that she could cause a reaction by being extra repulsive. He moves away from the wall before speaking again.

"I'm not leaving since I'm already here. I'm waiting for you to give it a good beating-- the old fashioned way I suppose?"

He rolled his shoulders as his hands went up, "Seems like she's taken a liking to me."

It was a half joke but with a more serious tone to it, "Anyway, you're the proud type. What's to be embarrassed about anyway?" there's a pause before he adds to what the other version of Natalia is saying, "I don't need you to defend me Meryl or whoever you want to call yourself. We're not exactly pleasant with each other so the feelings are mutual."
