Penelope said her goodbyes to Rue and the others, then looked to Lily, who was still deep in talk with Kael.
Kael seemed to have noticed Penelope and excused himself from Lily's side.
Penelope took the moment to approach her sister. "I thought you weren't happy with him since he did not return. Is it going well?"
"Quite well now that I know he will no longer be a knight. He wants to help with his father's work. I support his wishes, but the downside is, his work is not near Lockwood. It is closer to the border, which means that should I accept his hand, I would go far away," said Lily.
Penelope pouted. "We have never been that far from each other."
"I have never been so far away from all of you. I cannot ask him to move closer since his family is there. Truthfully, if he does propose to me, I do not mind the move. I would miss you, but it would be new and exciting," Lily said, hoping Penelope would feel the same way.
