Penelope walked with Tyrion to the centre of the room and positioned herself for the start of the dance.
Tyrion appeared to be even more handsome tonight, and it certainly wasn't missed by others. Was it because he wore a palace uniform which was greatly decorated, or was there some other reason behind the dashing look he had now?
Was it because she had to let go of him soon that he appeared so handsome?
Did Tyrion look so handsome tonight to sway her decision?
"You look lovely," Tyrion said, disturbing the silence that fell upon them.
"Thank you. You are also very dashing tonight. You've dressed up more than usual. Is it your parents doing, or is there something special about this ball?" Penelope asked.
"It was my parents' doing. I have to look the part of a man getting ready to become king. I thought it was all for nothing, but I am pleased to hear that I look dashing. Did you like my gift?" Tyrion asked, curious what she thought of it.
