Gewen furrowed his brows when he heard Kira's reply. "You... stay in the royal palace?"
Kira nodded. "Yes."
"Are you... a princess?"
The truth was, Gewen wanted to ask if Kira was a maid in the royal palace because, judging from her appearance, it was hard to associate her with an elegant royal princess.
However, he didn't want to offend a girl who could slay six scary wolves without batting an eye. So, he smiled and asked if Kira was, in fact, a princess.
For the first time today, Kira laughed out loud. She batted her eyes at Gewen and finally replied in such a good mood. "No. I am not. But I know the king of this country, and I am his guest."
Right at that moment, something clicked in Gewen's brain.
"What?"
Kira nodded. "Yes, that's right, I came here with my friend and she is friends with the king, which makes him my friend too by association."
Gewen halted his steps. "You're friends with King Loriel Ashborn?"
