A day before the party started, Penelope was invited to have tea with King Lucas. It was the king who invited her first to join him in his office as he enjoy a cup of freshly brewed lemon tea while she is drinking a glass of warm milk with honey in it. Of course, Penelope did not refuse his invitation.
To start a conversation, the king asked Penelope why she is so diligent in drinking her milk. She did not try to hide it from King Lucas so Penelope explained it to him. It is just a simple reason since she wants to grow taller than her peers as soon as possible.
In her group of friends, Penelope is the smallest among them. Some people have also mistaken her for a little child who still needs an adult's supervision all the time. Even Princess Lucille is a few inches taller than her. That's why people are always calling her cute as a doll. Getting tired of it, her new goal is now to grow up taller than Prince Lucien or her best friend.
