Didier smiled. He knew what was popular in general, and specific to his kingdom. Fashion was a bit of a guilty pleasure for him, and as long as his father never found out, he could keep it that way. He was expected to be a fearsome prince that would someday take his father's place as a triumphant and war-god-like king. His father wanted him to follow in his footsteps, whereas Didier did not see life the same way. Didier did not want to conquer and absorb other kingdoms, he wanted to work with them. He felt that was the true way to survive: to coexist.
"I wouldn't mind staying at all." He surveyed the prince, putting one hand on his chin and resting his elbow on a crossed arm as he leaned back a little on one foot, trying not to be distracted by the beautiful hair and eyes that seemed to look through him, not just back at him, "I think what you picked is lovely on you, but Mister White, could you fashion some feminine clothing for our dear guest?" Mister White nodded and moved in to take Collin's measurements, "An over-bust corset with a simple white chemise and full skirt should hide everything well. Maybe make the chemise a little loose, to draw away from the lack of bust. Put more detail into the skirt, and draw attention to his hair rather than his chest. That way we may get away with this yet." he smiled wider, happy to be working with the prince. He would be beautiful yet.
So long as they both went along with his father's inability to see what was right in front of him, and Mister White could keep a secret, which he surely could, then they had a chance. No one else would dare question the king, and when it came out that Collin was a man, his father would be so thoroughly embarrassed at his blunder he wouldn't dare tell anyone either out of pride. However, the hope was that by then, Collin's kingdom would be safe.
