Penn returned to the compound to see Rima waiting impatiently for her.
“I have half a mind to order your disassociation from her.” Vallas said in the middle of his conversation with Penn as Penn frowned at him.
“Why? What have we done?” Penn asked.
“It isn’t as a result of what you have done but what you will do and have already started doing to her.” Vallas corrected.
“Speak plainly Master, I have not hurt Rima in any way and I would never allow her to get hurt in my presence.”
“Hurt is inevitable, especially for those who we care about.”
“There is no possible way for me to hurt her.” Penn said after thinking about it as the carriage rolled to a stop. Hurt Rima who was her only friend would be a foolish thing to do and she knew this and she wouldn’t be able to hurt Rima in any way, she actually liked the girl and Rima represented a sense of normalcy to her.

Penn smiled as she looked at where Stanley and Rima were arguing like a pair of old married couples, they were perfect for each other but they would rather die than admit to that. Penn remembered when Stanley's attitude towards them changed, that was when he came back from the mill. The first thing he did was to hug Penn and thank her for saving his place in the compound and then he started to find ways to help Penn and to be around her, at first it infuriated Penn because Stanley was always getting close to catching her in her disguise. She still remember one time when Stanley had barged into her room while she was undressing, the hell she had raised as if she was being raped.“You maggot, stop dragging Penn's attention with me, he was my friend first while you were making his life miserable.” Rima stomped her foot in anger as Penn watched on in silence. While Stanley might have infuriated Penn before she started to make time for him, he still infuriates Rima who Pe

After Vallas words which Penn took seriously she made it clear to her two new friends that she was not interested in being friends with others and although Stanley at first dint believe her words and tried to introduce her to new people whom he thought would be better friends than Rima, Penn refused and that was when her loyalty shone brighter than ever. Rima was a girl and thus was unneeded in a men world but Rima was also Penn's first friend and if there was something Penn didn’t do, it was abandon her friends because better options came up.And now Penn was feeling a childish anger of maybe getting new friends and abandoning the two enemies who rather have a competition between themselves for something related to her than to help her.“You just go alone.” Rima said to Penn as Penn glared at her and Stanley.“I honestly cannot believe you two, it doesn’t make sense. You are both fighting to accompany me on a task the day I have to do the task and ther

Penn got home to see everywhere in chaos.“What is going on?” Penn grabbed one of the maids who was running around in a panic gait like a headless chicken.“Young Master.” She gulps. “Sire requires your urgent presence.” She rushed out as she started herding Penn towards the direction of Lord Vallas's study.“Hold on! What is going on? Why is master looking for me?” Penn dug her heels into the ground, refusing to move a step further if she was not answered.“I don’t know.” The maid wrings her hand in distress, her eyes darting around like she was thinking about how to turn herself into two so one of her can drag Penn to see Lord Vallas while the other will go about the urgent activities which she was doing before Penn stopped her.“Okay, you can go back to what you were doing.” Penn orders, eyeing the maid carefully like she was worried the maid would throw her over her shoulders to deliver her to Lord Vallas.&nbs

Penn controlled her coughs as she tried to shoot the prince glares from her watery eyes. “Wedding?”“Yes.” The prince responded simply. “Don’t tell me that you spend a lot of time alone with a lady and don’t expect to get married to her?” Chandler grinned at the fire which Penn's eyes spat out. He doesn’t remember the last time he had this fun with someone who was not bowing down and kissing his feet when the person is aware of his status. In fact Penn was still looking at him like the errant child he originally thought Chandler was. The prince fixed a concerned look on his face. “You cannot be with a lady of noble birth and not marry her.”“Your Majesty.” Master Rodas growled as another trainer held him back. He did not like what the prince was insinuating.Rima with her cheeks a fiery red, she clenched her fist in Penn arm to hold him back but she knew that he was going to retaliate.

“I am so happy that, that little brat is gone.” Vallas heaves a sigh of relief as Penn neck almost twisted off in her surprised as she whipped it around to look at Vallas.“I am sorry but I think my ears are going deaf, did you just say that you are happy the prince is gone?” Penn asked Vallas who smiled at her.“Yes, it is the best news I have gotten since I heard that he was on his way.”“But you just told him that you were sad to see him go and if he couldn’t extend his stay a little bit.” Penn reminds Vallas.“Really? I did, it must have been a long time ago.”“This happened just the past hour here.” Penn bits out as Vallas laughs.“I might have fibbed the truth a little bit to his face, what would you have had me do, tell him that I think he is a scum and not worthy of being under my shoe because of his parentage and lack of home training? I couldn’t tell him that if I wanted to keep my head on my neck.” Vallas stroked h

Apparently, a step closer means the same place as before. Penn frowned as she stormed out of Vallas study, it has been a week since she and Lord Vallas returned from their little trip, little but highly significant and yet nothing had happened, when she had gone to complain to Vallas, with his annoying smile _like the world was full of daisies and people were not dying_ smile and simply told her that she was not ready.What will it take for her to be ready? Penn asked herself.“Penn, the man of the hour.” Stanley greeted as Rima stopped in front of Penn blocking his escape.“Not now both of you, I am not in the mood.” She mumbled to them, trying to side step Rima but she still went to her front.“You have been acting weird since you returned and you need to talk to your friends.” Rima said.“And if I chose not to?” Penn asked as Stanley and Rima laughed.“He thinks that he has a choice.” Stanley said behind him.“I wo

“I hate coming to the capital.” Penn complains as Rima rolled her eyes beside her. They were seated in a carriage opposite Vallas who offered to take them to the capital to spend a day because he had something to do there. Stanley had begged off because he hated the capital and because Rima knew the reason, she allowed him to stay behind. Penn on the other hand was forced to come along with Rima who didn’t want to pass up the opportunity and wanted to hang out with her friend too. And since Penn life in the capital was not fully known to Rima, Penn couldn’t avoid going but she had been making her displeasure known right from the moment she was forced into the carriage with Rima who had been bouncing around in her seat with excitement.“And do you have to sound like a grumbling girl?” Vallas asked Penn who glared at him as if he had just given her the biggest insult ever and Rima took note of the look which Penn gave to Vallas.“You know, I have started to not
