"What did I say to make him go back, Damien?" Penelope asked, puzzled as to why Tyrion hurried off.
"I do not know, Milady. Would you like me to go closer to see?" Damien asked, taking small steps to get a better look.
"Yes, please. I don't want to get too close. Be careful," Penelope said, not wanting Damien to be in danger so soon.
Matilda stepped where Damien once stood.
"Why does this keep happening? I knew not to expect peace when Tyrion stepped away from the throne, but I didn't think townspeople would be at our gates like this. Should have just been queen?" Penelope wondered.
"No, Milady. You spoke of not wanting to enter the palace. You have made a good decision not to be queen. These people must get used to it," Matilda said, annoyed that the guards started to release the visitors. "This isn't normal. No one would just approach a royal's home."
