"I actually saw you before with Young Duke Clementine in the plaza before we left the Vestia Kingdom. You were holding his hand while walking on the sidewalk."
Is he talking about the time when Penelope was walking around the plaza with her father and enjoyed their time together? She only asked him to join her in buying a new dress at that time. But what is the connection of it to their conversation now?
"But what about it?" Penelope asked.
"Hmm. I am just trying to think how it feels like to take care of my daughter."
"...What?"
"I may look young and handsome, Little Penelope. But lately, I feel like I am already a worried father who is thinking about his daughter's well-being."
"..."
"I can now say that having a child is a hard thing to do. To think that I now have two children to take care of. Hah... Life is really unpredictable."
"...What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about you and Lucy."
