"You didn't mishear me," said Mars when he saw the look on his friend's face.
"Oh...." Finally, Edgar was moved from his daze. He immediately hugged Mars and patted his back over and over again. "Gosh...! I am so happy for you!"
For the first time today, Mars could finally feel complete happiness. He knew Edgar would be happy for him. Even Gewen would feel the same. However, he decided to only tell the latter about the good news after he told his parents.
"Thank you," Mars smiled broadly. "I do hope my child won't be affected by the curse and he could live well."
"Who is she? If I may asked..." Edgar excitedly poured wine into their cups and lifted his cup for a toast. "To the Strongmoor's new heir."
Mars clinked his cup to Edgar's and downed his wine before he finally recounted the story. Of all people in the world, he believed that Edgar would always have his back. It was important for his friend to know the whole truth so he could know what's going on.
