"Why are you shouting at me?" Kira asked Gewen. "What does this have to do with Edgar?"
"I know you like Edgar. It is pretty obvious," Gewen said bitterly. "I should have avoided you, but I was so dumb and let my feelings get the better of me."
Kira looked Gewen straight in the eye. She said, "Lord Gewen. This has nothing to do with Lord Edgar. I am just not interested in relationships. I think it's dumb. Maybe last year I thought I wanted it... but I was wrong. That's not what I want."
Gewen furrowed his brows. "Why not? Do you really like your life as a pirate?"
"I do," Kira retorted. "I love my life. This is what I have always known and this is what I like. I have traveled to many places for adventures and I have seen many things. It's not like I don't have a comparison. So, I just know what I want. A relationship with a man is not one of them."
