Tabitha's funeral was quickly and privately arranged by Sofia and Hazel. Only those closest to the royal family were invited to attend the small ceremony.
Penelope stood close to Tyrion, holding his hand throughout the ceremony.
In one day, Tabitha had passed and was laid to rest.
Penelope felt a weight lifted off her shoulders, and in time, the others would feel it as well. She curtsied when Teo and Juliette passed by her and Tyrion. They were invited to stay in the palace, and this time, Penelope convinced Tyrion to accept the invitation.
From where she stood, Penelope overlooked all the guests. The Collinses and Callahans were present along with Odessa and her family, since Odessa was once close to the Castros. The Hensons were also present.
"Penelope."
"Princess Sofia," Penelope curtsied.
"You've grown so much since I last saw you. Time flies by when you are away from everyone. I hope my nephew is treating you well," Sofia said, glancing at Tyrion.
