"Is that it? No thrill at all?" she murmured while shaking her head.

"Did he notice me?" She asked herself.

She panicked and released her energy; however, she immediately calmed down as she heard the man's hoarse voice.
"Calm down; it's me, young lady," he said before pulling back his hand from the princess' face.
