Penelope gave a small smile and nodded her gratefully head to Hunter as he agreed to speak to the king for her. She was glad that the attendant was willing to in her request and even more so that she'd at least have until the morning to think over what she was going to say to him. It was her first time addressing the new king directly so needless to say she was a bit nervous, especially after all that she knew about him. Although, she hoped that her father had gained enough favor with him from his recent mission to rub off on her as well. 

She watched as he left before turning to look over at Crow. Penelope smiled and leaned in to meet him as he pressed a quick kiss to her lips. The knight gave a small laugh at his words and moved to pick up one of the tarts. "It's fine. It's not every day you get this kind of food so enough it." she mused before taking a bite from the sweet. She let out a content sigh, savoring the sweet flavor before she rose up to her feet. 

While Crow ate, Penelope decided to make the most of the time by snooping around the room a bit. The knight stepped over to the small library, sweeping her gaze over a few of the nearby books and their titles. She found it interesting that a couple seemed to be in foreign languages while others were on etiquette and other information that would be useful to a viceroy. The knight pulled out one book that was a recording of the past affairs of Brerra and flipped through the pages, briefly eying it over. "History, etiquette, and some foreign books... There's quite the collection going on here." she mused softly before shutting the book and placing it back on the shelf. 

The knight glanced at a nearby scroll and gave a small frown as another thought came to mind. This room was only empty because Albin hadn't been able to taken on another apprentice since the death of Abraxas. Penelope let out a small sigh, feeling a twinge of old guilt as she remembered the young knight. Even though two years had passed, she still carried some guilt of having been the cause of his death. "It's crazy to think the king's offering you the job Abraxas was supposed to have." she mumbled in a quiet voice as she glanced around.
