Chapter 150: Genuine friendships (3)
"I hope now that you are a wife, you have not lost your fun side. We need a day of fun with the three of us, Ally, and Lily. Each passing day feels boring since we do not see each other often," said Julie.
"You are always welcome to my home, and if you give notice, you can meet with Lily or Rue. Becoming a wife has not changed me. I am still fun," Penelope assured Julie.
"Do you still sneak out to go around the town?"
"No," Penelope said, avoiding Julie’s gaze. "Fine, you have caught me. That has changed, but I still know how to have fun. I have the freedom to do things without asking my mother or father. I only need to be careful of how it would affect Tyrion."
"That is the boring part," Julie sighed. "To have to think about your husband. How does it feel to be married to a prince?"
"I don’t feel a special kind of emotion. Tyrion has always been my friend, so it feels like our friendship has grown. He hasn’t asked me to change to suit what others want," said Penelope.
"For a cursed woman, you sure are lucky," Julie joked.
How many could get a prince to leave the palace for them?
"Rue, since you are not looking for a husband and I am not searching as well, we should meet often. I won’t trouble you about men or dresses," Julie promised. "You can also tell me about the border."
"I would like that," Rue said, relieved she could have a normal talk.
"Do not believe her, Rue. She will question you about the men at the border," said Penelope.
