"Will she, or is it some sort of entrapment you've had planned for me all along?"
Benedict looks amused as he gathers up his clothes. He's joking, of course, though now he's said it out loud he wonders if maybe that's true. It seems like an awfully long game to play when Benedict could have easily been overthrown, but also, really, if Silver can get more than just money out of it then why not? But something about Silver strikes Benedict as too upfront for something like that. Maybe not entirely honest - one can't likely survive the pirate life for too long with honesty - but if it was money they were after, then there were women (and men) decorated with far more expensive things than Benedict himself.
