Chapter 92: Duties (4)
"Based on what she said, I will keep her away from Penelope. My grandmother has not learned not to meddle too much. She still thinks her way is the best," said Tyrion.
"Well, do what is best for your family. I will have a word with her to stay out of it, but you know your grandmother well. She spent years looking forward to your time as king. She isn’t going to let this matter go easily," said Tobias.
"I have many problems of my own. I cannot add arguing with my grandmother to it. Can’t you send her somewhere around the town for her to be at ease and not hear of what happens with the palace? It is time she takes a break from interfering," Tyrion suggested, more than happy to place Tabitha elsewhere.
"I have tried that before, but she will not leave the palace grounds. It is by some luck that she doesn’t come inside the palace often. I will speak with her," Tobias promised.
"Are you certain that will be enough?" Edgar asked.
Tabitha Castro wasn’t a woman to move on when she couldn’t have her way. She did not like for palace plans to be ruined.
"No. If she goes far out of line, I would have to consider placing her home on lockdown. For now, don’t let her meet with Penelope until this calms down," Tobias advised Tyrion. "You should also keep your distance from her."
"I intend to. Penelope and I were considering meeting with her, but it is out of the question. That reminds me, Duke Collins. Is there no dungeon in my home?" Tyrion asked.
"It was a home intended for my daughter to inherit one day. Why would I let there be a dungeon? Who do you need to put in a dungeon? Your grandmother?" Edgar inquired, more than willing to do it himself.
