It had never bothered her that men fancied her, but she also hadn't met too many whose hearts she cared about breaking. Isabela shrugged and said just that. "To be honest, it's happened to me before. But I never cared much. That sounds horrible." She laughed, shaking her head, getting slightly jokey, though she meant every word she said. "You make it difficult, you know. I've never needed a man and don't intend to start. I'm feared by some very dangerous people. And you just ... appear, and you get in my way. That bloody kind heart. And how dare you treat me like a princess." She smiled fondly, leaning her head closer.
