Penelope gave a small nod at her father's words and moved to search around the small library in the room as the four of them spread out to search for the jewels. It wasn't long before she heard Preston speak up and turned to look over as the attendant revealed the jewels. She blinked and moved to rejoin the others as they all stepped over to the servant. She listened as Crow explained how poor of a hiding spot it was and where he would have chose to stash them had he actually done it. 

Her gaze shifted onto the pendant that Crow held up and she eyed it thoughtfully. "I'm not sure... We have to clear your name somehow but... finding these in here certain isn't going to help, even if we know it wasn't you that took them." she sighed. 

"Not to mention you're lacking an alibi for the time you skipped out on your lesson." John muttered with a hint of bitterness as he eyed Crow and Penelope. However, with a glance towards Preston, he quickly focused his gaze solely on the jewelry. The older knight crossed his arms over his chest. "I have an idea.. It'll either work flawlessly or get us all in trouble though." 

"What is it?" Penelope frowned. 

"Well, I doubt we can prove that it's this Adam who framed him. The king's looking to solve this misunderstanding quickly and I have a feeling trying to find out if any of the guards on the third floor saw him at that time will open up another issue." he pointed out with a glance at Penelope, who shifted under her father's gaze. "So," he continued. "we'll have to settle for second best which is just clearing your name. Which we can do by claiming to find nothing in your room."

The older knight paused and let out a sigh. "However we have to get those jewels out of here somehow and the three of us are expected to meet with the king and those affected soon, so that leaves you." John's stern gaze fell on Preston. He eyed the boy. "All you have to do is hide that jewelry on you and get off of this level... Do you think you can manage that?"

"Even if he can, what will he do with the jewelry?" Penelope spoke up before Preston could answer. While it seemed like a solid plan, she was also worried where that would leave the attendant. 

"For now, he just needs to keep a hold onto it... Eventually we'll need to figure out a way to sneak it all back into the rooms of the owners." John explained. He knitted his brow and then glanced at Crow. "As risky as it may be, we'll likely need your help for that part."
