Penelope looked over at Crow as she reached the top of the staircase along with the two men. She looked over at Crow and casted a subtle frown before shifting her gaze onto the king as he went on to give a very brief explanation. As he addressed her and her father, she dipped her head as well to the king before shifting her gaze back over to Crow as he left. For a moment, she remained quiet unsure what to say, especially with other guards nearby. 

His gaze glance briefly over the nearby guard that was still smirking confidently before shifting his gaze onto Crow. "Both of you, follow me." John commanded after a brief pause. He turned and began to lead the way to the viceroy's room.

Penelope sighed and moved to walk besides Crow. "It's probably best if we talk behind closed doors... Plus the king wants us to search your room." she muttered to him. She fell quiet after that as the three arrived at the room. John opened the door to allow them in first and stepped in behind them, pausing as his gaze fell upon Preston. He eyed the servant for a moment, clearly toying with the idea of sending him away, but seemed to decide against it as he instead focused his gaze on Crow and Penelope. 

"Alright would some like to explain what the hell is going on? Why do you think he's being framed?" John demanded. 

Penelope blinked as she was addressed and shifted uneasily. "Well... I'm certain it's that one baron that was yelling at Tybalt. A couple days ago he tried to get information out of me about Crow so that he'd have an idea on how to get him out of the position of viceroy." she looked over at Crow and frowned. "He was the main person accusing you today. I'm sure he's behind this mess... The king doesn't know it was him but he suspects you're being framed at least."

"Great." John sighed. He paused and glanced around the room with a narrowed gaze. Without any further explanation, he began to search around the room, heading to the desk first and filtering through the drawers. Penelope looked over at her father in mild surprise. He had seemed to believe her so she was confused why he was still bothering to search through Crow's things. John seemed to sense her gaze but didn't bother to stop what he was doing. "This Adam knew you missed your lesson the other day and he wanted them to search your room. I wouldn't be surprising if the missing things are in here somewhere."
