Chapter 226: A good friend (3)
"You must promise me that you won’t tell anyone I mentioned Ally’s feelings for my brother. It isn’t something to be shared, but my tongue slipped and told you," said Penelope.
"We aren’t to have secrets, and I do not care about who Ally loves. It is not worth my informing others about," Tyrion said, uninterested in Ally.
"But you are interested in why your brother was glaring at my brother," Penelope pointed out.
"Certainly. I can’t have my brother doing something foolish to ruin the close ties we have with your brother. I would like to see them fight, but I don’t care about anything else. It’s not worth my attention," Tyrion said, only caring about who he loved.
"Could it be that Teo has feelings for Rue? I thought we were all friends," Penelope said, puzzled by these revelations.
"We were friends," Tyrion reminded Penelope.
"Yes, but it was quite evident that we cared for each other more than friends. I only found out today that Ally has loved my brother all along, and now it’s possible that Teo loves Rue. You said he has found who his future queen will be," Penelope remembered.
Penelope also knew that Rue didn’t want to live in the palace, so it couldn’t be that Rue was the woman Teo planned to marry.
"If Teo has picked another lady and he suspects that my brother might have feelings for Rue, then he doesn’t have any place to be jealous. And I don’t say this because Elijah is my brother. I adore Teo as well, but he cannot be that way," Penelope said, looking in Teo’s direction once more.
Teo couldn’t marry and expect that Rue wouldn’t go with someone else. Or, would it only be an issue since Rue might be with someone who was close and would keep her in this town?
