"Do you want to bet on whether or not they'll sleep together tonight?" Heinrich asked Penelope at the hotel bar where Penelope was staying.
Penelope chuckled as Heinrich looked astonished at her words. "You know what? I love rumors and gossip. The fact that the eldest Princess of the Duchy of Padparadscha is romancing a foreign Prince from the Eastern Continent is one of the hottest rumors around."
Heinrich raised his eyebrows. He watched Penelope Zircon sip her wine gently.
He had been asked by Zaha to separate Penelope from Arai so that the Eastern Continent prince could spend some time alone with Arai.
At first, Penelope didn't want to go with him, but when Heinrich whispered in her ear that Zaha wanted to make a formal declaration of feelings to Arai, Penelope immediately pushed Arai away and agreed to spend a moment with Heinrich.
"If you're so fond of rumors and gossip, why don't you try stalking and see what's going on between them?" Heinrich asked.
