Penelope was thrilled to see Damien coming toward the room since it was the perfect time to use his services.
While Penelope believed Tyrion could get rid of Ines by himself, Penelope didn't want him to be the one to do it.
They had guards around them for a reason, and Penelope refused to give more for Ines to add to her story when she returned to Tabitha.
Penelope was prepared to be branded the bad guy for sending Ines away from the start. Something told her that it might be twisted that Tyrion didn't want Ines gone.
Ines didn't like that she had to return to Tabitha with bad news, but there was nothing more she could do. Perhaps if she had arrived at a time when Tyrion was alone, she might have succeeded.
Or, Tabitha would need to arrive and ask that Ines find work.
Ines curtsied. "I meant no harm with my visit, Prince Tyrion. I will see myself out."
