Callisto will kiss the sleeping Penelope (bedridden because of poison) before going to war with the rebels.
Another spoiler:
I'm so sad for the OG Penelope, she was killed repeatedly by Yvonne (Leila) for the same plot. She wished peace for the people but no one take sides on her and labeled her as evil and antagonist of the story. That is why Marquis Verdiandi reverses the time to make up for the chance to make what's right.
~END OF SPOILER~
He just go hard way for a confession. I cannot even call it love. I know the confession may be somewhat in between, but really, being despicable is not easy to erase.
