The corners of Mars's lips curled up, holding back his laughter. He thought Emlyn looked adorable when she was like this. Her pouting red lips were so kissable!
However, although he felt entertained by Emlyn's behavior, the prince cleared his throat. He pretended to look offended because Emlyn made his two friends think he was into n.
"Then how do you think I should behave toward them now that Edgar and Gewen think I am attracted to n?" asked Mars. "Gewen even asked , why am I not attracted to him since he is the most handso man in Draec kingdom. If I was really gay, I should have been attracted to him, shouldn't I?"
"Eh...?"?Emlyn pursed her lips and stared at Mars in astonishnt.
The girl opened her mouth several tis, trying to say sothing, but no words ca out of her lips. She was too shocked and amused by Mars' statent.
Geez ... Gewen .. said that?
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
After opening her mouth a few tis and unable to utter any words, Emlyn finally let out roaring laughter. She even hugged her stomach and rolled on the floor. It was the funniest thing she had ever heard in her life.
Mars was surprised to see the girl laughed so hard. At first, he felt upset toward his narcissistic friend, Gewen, and Emlyn, who had damaged his reputation as a real man.
However, now that he saw Emlyn laugh out loud, and she rolled on the floor, Mars began to see what was so funny about the whole incident.
Finally, he started laughing too.
The servants waiting outside the dining room could only exchange glances. They did not understand why the prince and his woman could laugh so hard like that. Was there anything particularly funny?
"Crazy! Your friend is so full of himself..." Emlyn comnted between her roaring laughter. "Muhuahahahaha ..."
"Hahaha ... well, he has always been a narcissist. But you can't bla him. He is really popular with won, and he is very handso," said Mars. "I think he is the most handso man in the whole Draec."
Emlyn pursed her lips. "He's indeed handso, but I'm not interested in him."
The girl's laughter gradually died down, and she returned to her chair and sat down gracefully. Emlyn felt a little embarrassed because she had forgotten her manners to act like a lady. Gewen was too funny... annoying, but funny, she thought.
Mars' eyes glead when he heard Emlyn say that she had no interest in Gewen.
Ahh .. he knew Emlyn had better taste than just a pretty face. He knew Emlyn liked him. The girl admitted it herself when she was drunk.
Ahhh .. Mars was so happy! His concern that Emlyn would fall in love with Gewen was unfounded.
Emlyn took the wine cup and sipped her wine with a mocking smile. "Gewen is too puffed up. He has to see the world, so he would know that there are n more handso than him."
Mars's happiness imdiately evaporated when he heard Emlyn's words.
What did she say just now? Had Emlyn t a man who was more handso than Gewen?
It was so hard to believe!
Even though Mars was very good-looking himself, and he had an elf bloodline from his mother's side, he had to admit his friend's excellence in physical appearance. If Mars could acknowledge Gewen's good looks, it ant that Gewen was really ... handso.
"How can anyone be more handso than Gewen?" Mars asked incredulously. He thought Emlyn just disliked Gewen so much that she would be biased toward the womanizer.
"It's up to you to believe or not. I don't care. But, I did once et a man who is so handso that he always makes won go crazy wherever he goes. His na is Maxim," Emlyn said, lifting her nose.
She was offended that Mars didn't seem to believe her, even though Emlyn had actually seen the world during her trip to various countries. So, she knew what she was talking about. "He's much more handso than Gewen. I swear to God."
Mars looked at Emlyn with a probing gaze. "This Maxim guy... who is he?"
Emlyn glanced at Mars with an indifferent expression. She raised an eyebrow and asked back, "What does that have to do with you?"
"I need to know who he is because ..."
Mars fell silent. He felt very jealous to hear Emlyn ntion another man's na and say that he was very handso.
However, what right did he have to force Emlyn to tell him who the man was and what was his relationship with Emlyn?
Mars was neither Emlyn's boyfriend nor husband, so he had no right to ask personal questions if she didn't volunteer to share them.
Ugh ... the ambiguous status between Mars and Emlyn was indeed very bad for him.
How badly he wanted to make her his wife and announce his 'ownership' to the world. That way, he would have the right to feel jealous.
However, alas, he could not force their relationship as long as Emlyn was not ready to accept his love.
"Because...?" Emlyn repeated Mars' words. Her arms folded across her chest. Her pair of blue eyes stared at the man sharply. "Are you jealous?"
"Eh ... what? No! How could I be jealous," said Mars, pretending to look offended. "I just wanted to know where you t soone like that. Gewen and I have explored 22 kingdoms in Terra continent, and in all of them, we've never found anyone more handso than Gewen."
"Oh ... that's because I t Maxim in Atlantea. We beco travel buddies for several months," Emlyn replied casually. "You don't know this, but before I ca to Draec I spent a year on the Atlantea continent."
"..." Mars was astonished and could only stare at Emlyn with a pair of round eyes. His admiration for this girl grew even more intense.
Mars knew the continent of Atlantea was across the ocean from Terra. Due to the location of Winterre which was at the end of the continent, by the sea, of course, Emlyn could easily travel to Atlantea.
However, Mars did not expect the girl to actually do it.
Mars had never crossed the ocean, but he heard from many of their rchants who made business trips to other countries; on the continent of Atlantea there was a large empire that ruled over most of the small kingdoms on the continent.
The kingdom was called Sumria. Mars suspected that his father was inspired by the Sumrian monarchs' political strategy where they unified most of Atlantea under their rule with either political marriage, trade, or colonization.
After he learned of what the king of Sumria did, King Jared decided to conquer other kingdoms in the continent of Terra and rule over them.
In addition, given Sumria's tendency to expand their colonies, King Jared Strongmoor had concerns that Sumria would think about going across the ocean and invade the kingdoms on Terra continent, including Draec.
If that happened, King Jared was not sure that their strength combined would be able to face Sumria's attack.
That was why King Jared Strongmoor insisted on carrying out expeditions to other countries and even waging wars to control their own continent and made Draec really strong to prepare the possibility of being at war with Sumria.
