Chapter 14

Oliver

“Penelope, Penelope,” Oliver repeated. Someone brought a chair and he tried to lower her into it but her dress was too big so he held her there.

A medic swooped in and assured everyone she was still alive.

“At least you caught her and she didn’t hit her head,” someone from the crowd said.

“Penelope, wake up,” Oliver pleaded.

Her eyelashes fluttered and relief washed through him.

“It’s okay. I’ve got you.” He wasn’t sure if she was okay.

“This happened once before; when she arrived,” Colette said, holding one of Penelope’s hands.

“Maybe she has a condition.”

“She swooned,” Ava piped. “The queen-to-be has a solid case of the swoons. I heard about her grand entrance to the throne room.” She smirked. “I’ve also seen the way she looks at you, brother,” she whispered in Oliver’s ear.

An older noble, wearing a crimson gown, said, “Is she wearing a corset? Perhaps it’s too tight. I’ve fainted a fair share from those dreadful things.”

“It was a stress-filled day maybe she didn’t eat or drink enough.”

Penelope’s lips parted and she let out a little moan.

“She’s coming to. Everyone give her some space.”

Several footmen appeared carrying an upholstered lounge chair. Oliver carefully set Penelope upon it, but knelt by her side, holding both of her hands. Someone brought water and a tray of food.

“I could use some of that,” Genevieve sniped, grabbing a plate with some fruit on it. “It has been a difficult day, but no one has to go and pass out over it.” She huffed.

Ava leaned in. “Remember what I said that I discovered on my travels, Genevieve.”

“It sounds like you’re threatening me,” she replied, popping a raspberry in her mouth.

Ava nodded. “Pretty much. No one messes with my family and Penelope is now family.”

“Does that work retroactively because whatever she told you was merely a little sporting fun. She’s just a sore loser.”

Ava’s lips formed a hard line. “Darling, sadly, it’s you who’s lost.” She grabbed the plate from her hand. “Your family’s wealth, your shot at the throne, and if you’re not careful, your title.” She turned to where Oliver and the medic continued to try to rouse Penelope.

“Baking,” she croaked and blinked her eyes. “Baking before boys.”

“What?” a woman asked. “What did she say?”

“Something about baking,” a member of the nobility answered.

“See, I told you she was hungry.”

Penelope’s eyes blinked open as Oliver continued to hold her hand, hovering over her, desperate to make sure she was okay.

She bolted up but her eyes didn’t quite focus and Oliver eased her back onto the lounge chair.

The medic said, “Take it easy. You took a spell. Breathe deep now, that’s it.” He listened to her breath with a stethoscope and checked her pulse.

Ava passed her the plate of fruit but she held up a hand.

“Thank you and I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to—”

“Just like Penelope to pull a stunt. Now, no one will forget this night,” Genevieve griped.

“It wasn’t a stunt. it’s just that I don’t belong here.” Her voice was thin, frail.

“Nonsense. Of course, you do.
