When Clementine returns to their mansion, he ignores the people who greeted him and quickly asked for his daughter's location. After receiving the answer from their butler, he did not waste more time and runs toward the duke's bedroom. Without knocking, Clementine opens the door with a bang and quickly looks for his daughter. Seeing that she's sitting on the bed while crying, he rushes toward his daughter and gently holds her face.
"Penelope, I'm here now." Clementine said while forcing his voice to be soft.
The little girl blinks her teary eyes and looks at her father. Seeing that the person she is looking for is now finally here, fresh tears quickly covers her eyes and she jumps in his arms. Her arms are holding his neck so tight and buries her face on his shoulder.
"Daddy... Daddy..."
The way she calls him is so pitiful that it really made Clementine surprised. He was only gone for a few hours. What happened that made his daughter in this state?
