Penelope smirked in amusement as Crow teased Olivia before giving in and agreeing to tell them. The knight moved to sit down besides him, meeting his glance as he finally gave them the news about the king offering him the job of viceroy. The room fell silent for a brief moment before Olivia let out a disappointed sigh. 

"Come on~ I want to know what actually happened." she groaned again, clearly thinking he was just messing with them. 

"That is what really happened." Penelope said with a smirk. Her gaze shifted over to meet Gavin's as she noticed the male knight eying her searchingly. Though he hadn't said anything, she could tell he didn't believe the thief's words right away either. "The king offered him the job... and he's going to take it." She looked over at Crow, smiling fondly at him. "That's why he allowed him to journey out here and expects him back by the end of the week so he can officially take the title."

"Woah.." Olivia whistled with wide eyes as she took in the news. In the next moment, she grinned and let out a laugh. "That's crazy.. From pauper to princess, huh?" she snickered teasingly to Crow.

Gavin, on the other hand, remained silent for a while longer as he absorbed this new information. He shook his head and looked over at Crow with a stupefied expression. "I just... What?" he blinked and glanced between the thief and female knight as if hoping to find some sort of missing information. "Why the hell would the king offer him such a high title?" he finally managed out. He blinked, seeming to realize his tone was a bit harsh and looked back to Crow. "No offense... it just.... Come on even you have to admit going from a thief to a viceroy sounds absurd."
