At The Greenan's Castle
Luckily for Gewen, even though he could be annoying at times, he knew when to speak and when to shut up, most of the time. So, he didn't say anything about the baby being ugly.
He tactfully kept his thoughts to himself.
"What do you think?" Mars looked up from his baby to Gewen. His eyes were gleaming with tears. However, this time, it was obviously not tears of sadness, but happiness.
Gewen was astounded. How could someone who was grieving so despondently last night and early this morning, suddenly could smile so happily? What magic was this?
"What do I think?" Gewen repeated Mars' question. He was wondering what his friend wanted to know. "About what?"
"Harlow," said Mars. "Don't you think Harlow is the most beautiful baby in the world?"
Gewen nodded vigorously. "Yes. Absolutely."
Maybe deep grief had turned the prince face-blind, Gewen thought. You know, Mars could no longer tell beauty from ugly.
