"I don't trust him," suddenly Gewen whispered. "He is too handsome to be an honest man."
Edgar coughed violently when he heard Gewen's remark. He patted Gewen's shoulder and shook his head. "Not everyone is like you, Gewen. I have met and conversed with King Loriel before. I think he is a man of honor."
"What do you mean, not 'everyone is like me'?" Gewen raised an eyebrow. He thought Edgar's words didn't sound right. "I was telling the truth. We cannot trust him because Kira said this lousy king has a crush on Lady Emmelyn. He doesn't see himself as just a friend. So, why would he help a competition to get back with Emmelyn?"
Edgar knew Gewen was not wrong this time. When he met King Loriel and Emmelyn in Castilse months ago, before he went home to Draec, Edgar saw the king's affection for Emmelnyn was clearly on display.
King Loriel seemed to do anything to please Emmelyn, including lending a dragon so Edgar could go home and reached Draec faster.
