Mars finally just patted Gewen's shoulder and tried to refrain from choking his best friend. He still needed Gewen to win the war games against his cousin in Southberry.
He could settle the score with this womanizer after they returned to Draec.
"Sometimes I wonder how we are still friends," said Mars, shaking his head. He then finished the wine in his cup and stood up, about to call it a night and rest. "I want to sleep now."
"Heyy.. You haven't answered my question," said Gewen, holding Mars' hand tightly. His reddish face was adorned with a sullen expression.
"What kind of question is that?" asked Mars in annoyance. He didn't remember Gewen asking anything earlier.
"I asked you, why are you interested in Lord Aldrich but not in me?" asked Gewen. "I'm just curious."
Gosh ...
Yes, slowly we are entering the main conflict of the story. Brace yourself!
