So, I was thinking that here Penelope could either catch on to what Crow is trying to do and stop him before he gets away (he still underestimates her because he looks down on knights). Or she could try to persuade him not to leave (she could trick him, use a guilt trip, bribe him, etc... whatever method you think would be best :P)
I can work with it if Crow gets away, but I think it would be more fun if Penelope ruins his plans XD
