Kira and Gewen went to Southberry to see the vineyards for one week. Mars was happy to see them go and, deep inside, he hoped Gewen could use the little time he had with Kira to make a good impression on her. So, Kira would think twice about their non-existent relationship.
Mars also didn't say anything to Gewen about Kira's plan to go home and see her father after she executed her plan to rob the Prestons and sell Ellena to her pirate gang.
The king thought it was between Gewen and the pirate princess. So, he didn't want to interfere. Besides, if Gewen knew Kira would leave so soon, he might sulk all the way to Southberry and ruin their holiday.
While Gewen and Kira were away, Mars used the time to take Emmelyn and Harlow sightseeing to nice places around the capital as well. Emmelyn started feeling the discomforts and nausea at the end of her first trimester and her husband tried so hard to accommodate her needs.
