The lady did not bother answering the princess this time. Instead, she gives her attention to Penelope. She looks at her with a smile and it seems like she's waiting for something to happen. Penelope did not say anything as she is also waiting for the lady to make the first move.
But maybe the lady gets impatient because she asks the princess about Penelope's identity.
"Princess Lucille, I haven't seen the young lady beside you before. Is she your friend?"
"She is not just a friend for me, Lady Sharlene."
"Oh?" The lady said before she looks at Penelope. "Can you tell me your name?"
"Isn't it a proper courtesy to introduce yourself first before you ask for someone else's name?" Penelope replied with a small smile on her lips.
"What an impudent young lady."
"Lady Sharlene, you better watch the words coming out of your mouth. She is an important guest of the Royal Family so you better give her respect."
