@Introvert So
Spoiler!
He was concerned she would be in danger because of the surprise attack so he was trying to get her out of that place. It's dangerous, so it would be best if she stayed in the palace. Is it so hard to believe him? His eyes drift downwards and he sees her holding Callisto's hand. He tells her if she stayed still he would have fixed everything an killed Yvonne and give it to the empire or the Duke but why is he holding her hand again. Callisto asks what he is talking about annoyed. Penelope points her wand at him telling him he thought there story was over when he ran out of her hands. She tells him its his last chance to and she doesn't have time to do this. He asks her whether she's with Callisto. Just then the dragon passes overhead wandering the sky as if it's looking for her. There's no time to dead with Eclise. She calls a spell and strikes Eclise with a thunderbolt. It will not kill him, like the Leyla followers before it would only knock them out.
She prays it knocked him out but she doesn't have the confidence to look back and check. She tries to guide Callisto away. A voice calls from behind telling her he told her. He will kill that b*stard and have her shell. Eclise was a strange figure with smoke coming from his body. She breathed in the creepy face as he charged with the knife. Callisto calls at her to stay back and meets Eclise word. Penelope thought she was the target, but Eclise was aiming for Callisto. Callisto calls back to her that he's dealing with all sorts of guys thanks to his popular lover.
I like to post spoilers for the stories I find interesting because I don't have much time to read novel due to busy schedule you will find me in most romantic historical manhwa comment sections
