It was now currently Two o'clock as Penelope was now standing in front of the duke's office trembling.Penelope knocked three times as the duke answered on the last knock telling Penelope to come in.
Penelope opened the door slowely as to not make any sounds as she entered the room she slowly closed the door behind her.
"Welcome Penelope." The duke greeted Penelope with a small smile and comforting voice as Penelope did not fall for it.
Penelope knew that this treatment will not last any longer once the necklace incident happen's.
Penelope bowed a little bit as the duke instructed her to sit down. Penelope followed the duke's order as she sat down quietly.
"Umm...." Penelope anxiously mumbled as she looked at the duke. The duke simply didn't pay any attention to her as he continues to do his paperwork.
'Okay.... so we're staying here for a really long time huh....' Penelope looked around as her eyes sparkles with excitement.
Penelope wanted to squeal with excitement and jump up and down but she knows that the duke is secretly watching her so she hold herself back.
The duke on the other hand was sparring glances at her as he looks at the cute child in front of him dressed up nicely unlike the first time he saw her.
The duke faintly smiled as his smile faded away when penelope turned to look over him. The duke was always taught to not show his emotions to simply anyone even if that person is they're own relative so they need to hide they're true intentions and thoughts.
The silence continued for a few more minutes as the duke finally let'd go of his pen and turned to look over to Penelope.
"Penelope" The duke said earning Penelope's full attention as she immediately looked over to the duke.
"Y-yes duke...?" Penelope was anxious as she tries to look away while the duke frowned at the formalities.
"Don't call me duke Penelope, call me 'father' instead' Penelope turned to look over to the duke as the duke was seen with a faint smile on his face.
But Penelope has already predicted that this would happen before she even entered the duke's office.
Since this whole thing had already happened in her dreams.
"T-that would be nice d-duke but im still only a commoner and not just that, i am merely a substitute for the d-dukes real daughter so i think im in no place to call the duke like that...."
Penelope laughed awkwardly as she waved her hands and looking away trying not to make any eye contact with the duke as the duke flinched at her words with widened eyes.
"Nonsense!! Even if you we're once a commoner you still had the place to call me, the duke 'father' since you are now the new lady of the House of Eckart's!!."
Penelope's eyes widened as shadows covered her eyes as she looks down on the floor with an expressionless face.
'Duke.... why are you making it sound like... you had already given up from searching your real daughter....?'
Penelope didn't say anything as shadow's covered her eyes.
'How was i so oblivious before?! I accepted being the substitute for the duke's real daughter and the ending? This whole place treated me worse than a beggar!! Did God pitied me and gave me a second chance in life? Probably.... but it is still fated that the other me will come here and give me a better life, wouldn't it be better if i don't let her suffer much longer than it originally was? Also if i remember correctly.... when the other me called the duke 'father'.... didn't the duke's favorality rose up for a little bit...? Then... if I don't call the duke 'father' until the other me does... wouldn't his favorality rise up two- no Three or Four times that it originally was? Then if so.... be it!!'
