Iris tilted her head when she heard Gewen's voice She ondering if Gewen really was talking to the other wo the dinner
Did Lord Geant to spend more time with Kira? For what?
And most importantly, as their relationshi+p?
All these questions filled her heart with curiosity Iris decided to ask her older sister for the answers after they reached ho fir for Kira to respond to his offer
"Sure," Kira shrugged She approached Gewen and looked at the o?"
Gewen nodded and then turned to Mars "Thank you for the wonderful dinner It was really nice And again, congratulations on the new baby"
"Thank you, Gewen" Mars said with a bea face He noticed Geanted to talk to Kira in private, so he nodded at theht "Eht everyone Safe travels"
The guests left the palace and went to their respective ho in the royal palace during her visit to Draec After Mars, Emmelyn, and Harloent to their residence, Gewen and Kira went to the guest quarters
Kira was surprised to see Geanted to take her back to her chaht he was over her fro with Iris and looked like they clicked so ht However, she realized that Geithin his rights to redirect his attention toward someone else because Kira had rejected him when he confessed that he liked her
Perhaps he was not really serious with his feelings for Kira that her rejection only affected hiirl Typical woht to herself
"Are you cold?" Gewen suddenly asked when they alking together toward Kira's chahtly The dining roo fireplace, so she didn't really feel the cold before
Now they alking outside and the snoas falling from the sky and the temperature was so low Even Gewen felt the cold So, he was concerned when he saw Kira shi+ver She earing her wolf fur coat, but apparently, it was not enough to keep her warm
Before the woman could reply, Gewen had taken off his coat and draped it around her back Kira's steps halted She didn't expect Geould do so like this Why was he still nice to her? Their last encounter didn't end really well
"Why are you doing this?" She turned to Gewen and asked the man with furrowed brows She wanted to take the coat off her back, but Gewen shook his head and motioned her not to do that
"It's really cold Just wear it I am a man, I will be fine," he said casually
Kira was in doubt for aShe cleared her throat and thanked the ive it to John tomorrow before I leave so he could return it to you"
"Oh, there is no need for that," Gewen shrugged "You gave it to me So, you can just take it back with you"
The coat he draped on her back was the fur coat he received from Kira that she ordered from the coat maker in Castilse It was made of the wolf fur pelt she hunted the day before
Now that Geas back at home, he had so ht Kira needed it tonight, ive it back to her
Besides, after she was gone, he thought it would be bad for him to keep stuff that would remind him of her all the time So, it was better to return it to Kira
The wo I have gifted to you?"
"Yes," Gewen replied calet about you" The hed "There, I've said it"
"Huh?"
Kira looked at Gewen probingly, trying to read his mind She couldn't do it She didn't knoas on Gewen's et her?
"You once asked me what ain "I kept searching my heart and asked myself what makes me like you Was it your beauty your bravery, your adventurous side or what?"
Kira stood still like a statue, looking at Gewen attentively She was interested in knohat Gewen had to say She didn't interrupt him and let the man speak
"I finally found the answer" Gewen let out a sigh He looked at Kira deeply "I don't like you"
"" Kira felt her cheeks heated
So, this man would just lie and tell her he didn't like her? FINE
"I don't like you, Kira I love you," said Geith a hoarse voice "And I came to realize I don't have specific reasons why I fell in love with you Sure, you are brave, and you are formidable and quite unique Those qualities make you you However, they are not the reasons why I love you I just know I do And that's the truth"
"Gewen" Kira suddenly didn't knohat to say She could only call his name She was shocked when she heard Gewen openly confess that he was in love with her
It was really unexpected She actually thought he was already over her by now and had set his sight on another wo Geas still very much interested in her He just didn't act on it
Gewen continued his words "Kira, I have thought about this for a long time and asked myself if I would be happy with you, if I should just keep chasing you,so I could be with you haha I know it sounds dumb and silly, but it is what it is I have never been in this situation, only now"
"You won't survive being a pirate," Kira commented "You are too nice"
Gewen sht That's why I decided not to"
"Okay"
"I also thought about how different we are and our worlds After seeing what you are capable of and how you made plans to sell another wo me for days"
Gewen continued his words "And finally, I realized, I can't accept it I can't accept that side of you You are such a cool woman but I cannot live with so you are a bad person Not at all You are just different You will find a man who could appreciate that side of yours someday It will just not be me"
Kira pursed her lips "So, you wanted to talk with er want me? How nice"
"No I don't o, you asked me why I like you Back then, I didn't know the answer Since you are leaving soon, I thought I should give you the asnwers you wanted to know For closure"
"Hain, finally, Kira nodded "Thank you for being honest with me I appreciate it I know I can be harsh and ruthless sometimes, but it's just who I am and hoas raised"
Kira added, "I a to defend myself and my behaviors, but I do think we are not coround and personality So, I think it's good that we talk about this and so we can get over it"
Gewen nodded "Yeah You don't want a relationshi+p, I do And now I also want to build a fa Gewena faht"
Gewen looked at Kira sadly He knew this was goodbye Soon Kira would really go out of his life He repeated her words "That's right"
