Why not Vinter? Why Kallisto? He wanted to kill the girl the first time they meet.

I get why he did that though, the prince has daily assassination attempts.

you will see soon :)





































































































spoiler:
Kallisto comforts her, treats her respectfully, protects and helps her, they fight together. he also apologizes for threatening to kill her in the garden and tries to make up for it.

Vinter doesnt trust Penelope and thinks shes part of the leila clan, he then tried to test her which put Penelope in a dangerous situation. that mistrust puts a big strain on their relationship.
