SPOILERSSS basically reynold catches penelope trying to find a hole to escape, and instead of arguing with her like he usually does, he just asks her if she could just stay with the family, even though she suffered so much in the duchy. he says he’s been thinking a lot about how badly he treated her in the past and he sincerely apologizes. he starts crying and tells her that if she does end up running away, she shouldn’t endure hardship and that she should tell him if she ever needs more money. he also tells her to make sure to get a guard and to go to a good hotel instead of an inn. the whole scene just shows how he sees her as his baby sister and it’s stinkin cute. also, this is chapter 186 in the novel if you wanna go read it :)
