He compliments her outfit, which he thinks is a maid's uniform, and she tells him that she knows that he is a prince because he complimented her outfit like a "shock" when he first saw it. She says that she wants to perform the role of the princess, but that she won't kiss him, because it's her story and she doesn't want to upset him
