"Alright. Let's become serious this time." Prince Lucien said. "Little Penelope, may I know what is your reaction after knowing the truth that I am your older cousin?"
Penelope looks at her father first. When Clementine gives her an encouraging nod, Penelope smiles at him and she looks back at Prince Lucien again. Then she slowly opens her mouth to speak.
"I was just surprised for a moment, Prince Lucien. But after that, I did not think too much of it."
"Oh?"
"We are cousins. But it does not change anything. I am still Penelope Dresvil and you are Prince Lucien of the Lastoval Kingdom."
"Hmm. I see."
Prince Lucien takes a sip first on his cup of tea before he speaks again.
"So are you not mad at us?"
That question makes Penelope confused. She quickly looks at her father to ask for help. Seeing the confused look on Penelope's face, Clementine quietly let out a sigh and move his body to face his daughter.
