Chapter 126: A walk with the queen (1)
Penelope curtsied when the dance came to an end. She smiled, knowing her words lingered in his mind, and he was frustrated they could not leave right away.
It couldn’t be helped that she was interested in his uniform and was reminded of it now.
Penelope’s smile widened when she spotted her family standing in the crowd. She grabbed Tyrion’s hand and walked with him to greet her family.
"Mother!" Penelope called, going to her mother first.
"Has she suddenly become your favourite?" Edgar asked, waiting patiently for his greeting.
"I love you equally," Penelope replied, hugging her father. "I haven’t seen much of you since you gifted us the mansion. Are you hiding from me?"
"No. I’ve been busy taking care of an important task," Edgar replied.
First, Edgar had been silencing the fools who were way out of line with what they spoke of his daughter. He was then busy looking into Sarah’s family and the man who sent Penelope a carriage. Now, Edgar was busy trying to find who was responsible for the two young women’s deaths.
"I will visit your home soon," Edgar promised.
Edgar spotted a few faces he wanted to get rid of tonight. Rather than let fools run loose to trouble his family, Edgar preferred to get rid of them right away to save himself a headache.
"Lily, are you well now?" Penelope asked, touching Lily’s forehead.
