Chapter 16: Not afraid (2)
"Why must we speak of this now?" Tobias asked, seeing that this was the worst time. "We should go to where the young woman fell to see if there were any clues we missed. Edgar, follow me."
Tyrion ignored what his father said, as did Duke Collins.
To Tyrion’s surprise, Edgar replied, "You will be the future king. You shouldn’t fear anyone. It will simply be a mistake to underestimate what I could do to you. Be careful."
Edgar went easier on Tyrion as opposed to how he treated the other bastards sending flowers to the estate for Penelope since he had been around Tyrion from the moment he was born. He was also the one tasked to look after the crown prince should anything happen to the king.
Unfortunately for Tyrion, that special treatment was slipping away quickly.
"I am always careful. It is why I disposed of the men who tried to hurt her," Tyrion shared.
"Are you expecting a thank you from me?" Edgar asked.
"No. I know that wouldn’t come from you, and I don’t want it. I want you to remember that I protected her once, and I can do it again," Tyrion promised.
Egdar liked Tyrion’s confidence, but he was not convinced, and his mind was not changed. ’Penelope will not enter the palace," he repeated.
