She shakes her head
"You don't have to do that. Plus, it would make my stepmother suspicious..."
"She'd see this as an excuse to throw my stepsisters at you-try to marry them off to a rich prince, y'know? She'd probably separate me from you-she's already itching for an excuse to get rid of me-maybe she'll sell me off the draft or somethin'-tell you I "volunteered to help my country!" or some crap. And even if she doesn't find out about you, more money just means more that she takes."
