"Who is Ellena Greystorm?" Emmelyn repeated her question. "Do you love her? I know she loves you."
Mars's hand, which was rubbing Emmelyn's back, stopped moving. He didn't expect Emmelyn to be so blunt with her question.
Well... she didn't beat around the bush, did she?
The man cleared his throat. "I love her as a friend. Just like I love Gewen and Edgar. We have known each other for a long time."
"Oh..." Emmelyn opened both eyes and tilted her face to look at the man and check his expression. She didn't see any lies on his face. Emmelyn narrowed her eyes and asked him in a probing tone. "Why did she hug you earlier? Didn't she know about the curse?"
Mars let out a long sigh. He knew everything he said at this point would determine how Emmelyn saw him and decided on her own feelings. He must tread carefully. "She knew about the curse... and she thought, the curse is lifted."
Emmelyn held her breath. So, her guess was right!
Yes! Tell him you would like to get Draec as compensation, Em!
