Desmond slid a sly grin over his face before turning about face and facing the knight. His eyes narrowed and he clenched his fists "if you wish to accuse me of being a thief than do so. I am one but that doesn't mean I am not here under honest pretenses" he said with a smile "as for the diamond" he said giving pause as he took a large step closer to the knight "it's mine. I brought it from my own personal storage. Just because it's rare doesn't make it stolen" he said with a chuckle. Nothing he said was a lie perse and that is what made it so perfect. Desmond was too cunning to so easily let his words be a trap. "I want to marry the princess out of honesty. It's not a trap" he said as he shrugged his shoulders. He than turned away and looked around the room. He couldn't lie to himself theft was asuradly tempting here.
