Dumping The Ice King His Mini-Tyrant novel Chapter 410

Her gaze drifted past the rows of parents in the audience and landed on Penelope, standing quietly beside Quentin, looking small and timid.

A sudden surge of emotion welled up inside Daph, and in that moment, she finally understood why, back when Selene accepted Clarissa’s dare, she had insisted on fighting for Penelope as well.

Penelope had already shown such courage by stepping onto the stage today. Now, as she prepared to expose Clarissa in front of everyone, Selene wanted her five-year-old daughter to finally speak up about everything she’d always disagreed with.

“Ever since I met Penelope, I’ve known she’s a vegetarian. She’s not allowed to eat any meat—not even milk or eggs. She can’t have lunch or snacks with us at school, and she’s never full. Her stomach is always rumbling.

I don’t want to see Penelope faint for no reason anymore. I hope Ms. Vaughn will keep her promise and let Penelope have lunch and snacks with us, just like we agreed.

If Ms. Vaughn won’t keep her word…”

“…then I won’t like you anymore!” a child shouted from the audience.

Other children joined in, their voices ringing out, “You’re not trustworthy! I don’t want to see you at school anymore!”

“Ms. Vaughn shouldn’t be the president of the PTA! When we’re class monitors or group leaders, we always keep our promises!”

“Penelope keeps fainting—you don’t even love your daughter!!”

Children have a way of speaking straight from the heart, and their blunt words sent a ripple of whispers through the parents seated below:

“I remember Clarissa switched to a vegan diet as soon as she found out she was having a girl. She said her daughter needed to be raised vegan too, for good luck or something.”

“We all tried to talk her out of it—Penelope’s so little, she shouldn’t be on such a strict diet! Clarissa insisted Penelope had to eat vegan from the start, that it would help her little brother come sooner. She even said Penelope only made it into this world by borrowing blessings meant for her brother.”
