Gewen didn't understand why Mars laughed so heartily. He didn't see anything funny. He turned to Edgar and saw the burly man was smiling too.
Something isn't right, he thought.
"Are you making fun of me?" He crossed his arms on his chest and raised an eyebrow.
Mars only patted him on the shoulder and said, "We were talking about my boyfriend. I plan to bring him as my date to the royal ball and make it official. I am just so happy. That's why you see me in a good mood."
"Oh..." Gewen needed a few seconds to digest what his friend just said.
Wait...
Mars... would bring Lord Aldrich to the royal ball... as his date?
For real?
"Are you out of your mind????" Gewen brushed off Mars' hand from his shoulder. "The whole country is watching you like an eagle, wanting to see you marry a woman and produce heirs... yet you want to announce to the world that you are into men???"
