He did say something like this but the maid and him were alone, assuming the thought that they didn't want others to know his real gender. It makes no sense because they were having a private conversation. He also clearly looks like a man to me so, hiding his gender wouldn't do anything considering his built, voice, etc.
Such a soft romance !!!
But why are they treating him like a woman, calling him “Lady / her/ she” ???
