Callisto sent a letter to Penelope asking her to come to the palace, but in the end the answer came that she was ill and they even sent a medical report. In the end, he himself came to her a few days later. Although the Duke did not want to let him into the palace to see Penelope, since she was «sick,» (even though she just doesn't want to date him), in the end he allowed them to meet for half an hour. Callisto wanted to go up to her bedroom, but the Duke forbade it and said that they would meet in the garden.

He ended up meeting Penelope and first told her that he would keep an eye on her because he was curious about who she would choose over the «Crown Prince of the Yoka Empire.» Secondly, he gave her the diamond mine that the Duke had given to Count Kellin a year ago to keep Penelope out of prison.

Well, almost at the end of the conversation, Callisto slightly squeezed Penelope’s hand, in which she was holding an envelope containing a statement that the diamond mine was now hers. Looks like a lady... Now they teach aristocrats how to act? Callisto suddenly took Penelope by both cheeks and said a little calmly.

"No more pain. Was I in vain to save you... Risking my life?"

Callisto smirked a little. He saw that Penelope's makeup had blurred a little, and he already knew that she was not sick, but looked like a walking corpse, just because of the makeup. He, of course, was not going to tell her this, since then she would understand it herself.
