Although attractiveness wasn't valued more than strength in this world, it was a powerful tool when it comes to socializing nonetheless. Sharing the information of the staff was forbidden by Valentine, but since Val asked it, Penelope didn't hesitate to tell him.
"Yes, she is sleeping in the staff room," Penelope confirmed. Then she inquired, "But why are you asking? What relation do you have with her?"
Val replied, "It looks like you don't know. I am her boyfriend."
Spreading this news was good. An untouched woman was considered far more attractive in this world than a woman who already had a man. Powerful men in general only liked virgins. Once it was known she had a man, countless people would lose interest in her even though she was an attractive young woman. Basically, it would keep pests away from her, and that was exactly Val's intention!
Upon hearing this, Penelope felt disappointed. Such a good-looking man yet he was already taken! How sad!
