“What do you mean that Penn is taking the blame for Stanley?” Vallas fury filled the room.“Apparently, Leda told Penn to try and look out for Stanley then the idiot decided to accost Penn in town and beat him then when my daughter tried to step in, Stanley turned his fury on her.” Rodas explains as he watched Vallas pace around in anger.“Unbelievable… so that was what the little brat was hiding.” Vallas was clearly angry but also he was amazed by Penn decision. Choosing to take the blame for someone who despised him and whom he hates just because he made the person’s mother a promise. That left him humbled. Penn was raised by good people to be able to do something which he himself would have never been able to do. “I am tempted to leave him there just because of his fool hardy behavior.”“Him being able to do something

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

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

“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

“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
