Chapter 206: Losing sight (1)
Later in the evening, Penelope and Tyrion returned home.
The maids carried in what was purchased during the outing, whilst Penelope walked inside with Tyrion.
"We did not find a dressmaker for me. It is harder than I thought it would be. They are all so talented, but there wasn’t anyone I was drawn to. Anyone I could welcome here, and not worry about them speaking of their time here," said Penelope.
Penelope wanted a dressmaker she could use for a long time. One who could come to her home to do work and leave without gossiping.
"If you picked anyone today, it would have been a rash decision you might regret. You’ve at least narrowed it down to three, so whoever makes the best dress and keeps quiet will be your dressmaker," said Tyrion.
Tyrion looked back at their carriage. "I need to go somewhere for a moment. I’ve been meaning to look at the training ground and quarters for the knights. I’ve put it off for too long."
"Very well. I won’t join you since my shoes have been pinching me for hours now," Penelope said, awaiting the moment they would be pulled off.
"I’ll be taking Damien with me for a moment," said Tyrion.
Penelope thought it was suspicious that they both needed to go see the training ground, but since Tyrion was not leaving home, Penelope wasn’t worried.
"I will be fine with Matilda. Try not to hurt yourself on the training ground," Penelope said, leaving the men behind.
"Follow me," Tyrion said, leading the way out of the front door.
