In the Castro mansion, Penelope turned around to face Damien.
"You're a man."
Damien was confused by the start of Penelope's conversation. He had been following her around the mansion, watching as she spoke with the maids and other servants, and then she said the strangest thing out of the blue.
Damien glanced at Matilda, who gave him a look like he had to answer Penelope quickly.
"Last I checked this morning, I was," Damien replied.
Matilda could not believe Damien's audacity to respond as he did. Maybe it wasn't so good to have a knight guard her lady. They weren't taught how to behave around ladies of Penelope's status.
"Oh, I should have said that better. I meant that I could use some of your advice since you are a man. It will help me to surprise Tyrion. My husband," Penelope said, trying to get used to referring to him as such.
