Charlotte seemed to be hinting at something, but the officer just thought she was looking out for him and chuckled. "You're funny, Your Highness. There are no thieves in the palace." "Of course, you're right. Off you go, then."

Charlotte waved her hand, and the officer bowed and left. The crowd around them kept up their lively chatter.
