*A year later*

Penelope were invited to have a tea with Callisto again. Usually Derrick would come with her but this time, Reynold is the one who came with Penelope. He said Derrick can't come because of important matter but the actual reason is Reynold locked Derrick in a horse barn because he wanted to spend time with Penelope.

" I see you like sweets alot prince.. Same as Penelope *holding laughter* " -Reynold

" shut up, you are just jealous that you can't eat sweets anymore " -Callisto

Reynold gasped and shocked to know that Callisto knows about his sweets incident. He then looked at Penelope was was drinking tea and glared at her. Penelope lose it and laughed but the tea was spilled and it make her dress wet. Reynold sigh about her clumsiness while Callisto immediately stand up from his seat and grabbed his blanket to cover Penelope up. Reynold watched these two lovebirds is so done.

" Thank you, your highness. I should go home now " -Penelope

" no need too! I got plenty of dresses may match your sizes and- " -Callisto

" you got dresses sized my sister?... " -Reynold

Reynold gave a disgusted look at Callisto while he tried to explain to Reynold that his dress was given by his younger brother but Reynold wasn't having it so he ignored Callisto. Penelope laughed a bit and thanked Callisto. He then ring a bell to call for maids to help Penelope. The maids came by later and brought Penelope to the dressing room. Reynold still giving Callisto disgusted face.

With Penelope, the maids praised Penelope alot and excited to dress her in lot of dresses but Penelope simply want them to wear her simple dress. The maids was a bit disappointed but understand Penelope's order.

" all done my lady, let us escort you back "

" thank you! " -Penelope

She smiled brightly making the maids hearts melted of joy. As they are walking back to the greenhouse. (the place that they were having Tea Party earlier) the second prince appear out of nowhere and greeted Penelope. The maids was hesitant to let Penelope stop as they want her to go back to the greenhouse but Penelope stopped walking and greeted the second prince

( I honestly don't know the second prince name. In novel, his name weren't mentioned at all... So I'll name him Jermaine... Nickname Jerry )

" Nice to meet you too, second prince " -Penelope

Penelope doesn't mind the greeting because ever since he started to visit Callisto to have a tea time. Jermaine, the second prince always greeted her and her brother, Derrick. She at first was suspicious but it disappeared after seeing Jermaine doesn't bring any harm. The maids didn't know that Penelope and Jermaine is in a good term so they immediately rush Penelope to the greenhouse. Jermaine waved at Penelope as a goodbye or see you soon. Penelope smiled and waved back.

She arrived at her destination and greeted Callisto and her brother. Reynold is shocked to see the dress fits Penelope and also about to throw hands at Callisto but Penelope stop him and thanked to Callisto.

" awe you should thanked to my younger brother, kid. Since he's the one who made you the dresses.. " -Callisto

" oh he did this? " -Penelope

" yeah, he learned how to sew and some art or- I don't know. I just know he made this for you " -Callisto

" could this be the second prince having an interest on you, Penelope?! " -Reynold

Reynold is too shocked today. Too many shocking and unexpected words he had to hear. Now he is very concerned and worried about his little sister. Penelope smiled awkwardly trying to find an excuse that no way the second prince find her interesting. Callisto frown a bit and his heart a bit hurt somehow.

" that would be impossible, he see me as his older sister. Right, your highness?! " -Penelope

" yes of course!- there's no way haha.. " -Callisto

Penelope and Callisto looked at each other awkwardly while Reynold trying to break the awkwardness by shoving candies to Callisto mouth

" *munch* I guess this is where she got that attitude from- " -Callisto

" what was that, your highness? " -Reynold

Callisto and Reynold laughed while Penelope still having her awkward moment. They both continue the talks, such as gossips, telling stories and more. At the end of the day, Penelope and Reynold went back to their home. As soon they came home, Reynold got a punch from Derrick but instead of complaining, he laughed at his brother. Derrick wasn't having it and left him alone. Penelope is shocked but at the same time she didn't surprised because she already guessed it that her brother, Reynold pulled another prank.

In the dinner, Duke was disappointed in Reynold and grounded him again. Derrick is satisfied with the punishment that given to Reynold. Penelope just laughed and just going to enjoy the dinner until Reynold stopped her because he want the food that were given to Penelope. It was a steak medium cooked with sour cream while Reynold have salad and smashed potatoes. Penelope agreed and about to give it to him until the head chef stopped then from exchanging foods.

" m-my lady! I cooked that steak just for you "

" O-oh really..? Uhm.. " -Penelope

" it alright, head chef. You can cook that for her tomorrow. I want the steak " -Reynold

" but my lord! I'm afraid the steak will not suit your liking "

Reynold and Derrick guessed the situation. They nodded at each other and play along

" come here Penny, let your big brother cut it for you.. Oh?.. What is this? Her cutlery made by wooden " -Derrick

Duke and the head chef shocked to hear that. Same with Penelope because just earlier she sure she was holding silver fork and knife. The real reason was Reynold always prepared the wooden fork, Reynold changed the real one with the fake one. He made it for a prank but using it in this situation amused him.

" please forgive me, your excellent! I didn't know.. "

" I'll say this. How about you eat Penelope food! It's a good punishment, right?... " -Derrick

" of course that's right, brother. Father seem to agree with it too " -Reynold

Duke was dumbfounded because he didn't spoke anything since he always got interrupted with both of his sons.
Derrick handed the steak to the head chef, he glared at her asking her to only take a small bite.. The head chef hesitant and sweating looking at eckart sons with fear. As she about to take a bite, a maid with brown hair seem to be punch and having bruises burst into the room

" My lords! The steak is poisoned! " -Emily

" WHAT?! " -The eckart family

Penelope is shocked to heard her food was poisoned. Reynold and Derrick simply thought, it was just some drug that were put into the steak. Duke stand up from his seat and called the guards to take the head chef and the maid out. He asked his children to go back to their room so they did. Later on, Derrick and Reynold came to Penelope room with sandwiches. Reynold explained that they made it so Penelope can eat together with her brothers. She smiled and all of them eat together ✌
