Gewen could only swallow his bitterness. He was the expert on women until he met this woman who was like an enigma to him. None of his knowledge or skills to pick up women could work on her.
Well... maybe it was because Kira was not like most women? Gewen had to rake his brain to see where he failed and finally asked his friends' help. All his efforts, his way with words, his good looks... they didn't seem to work.
After being honest with himself, Gewen realized that Kira didn't seem to return his affection because she was interested in another man. That man was none other than Edgar. As for why... he couldn't wrap his head around it.
Gewen was better looking than Edgar. He was also wealthier because he was the only son in his family that would surely inherit his family's wealth, status, and title. Edgar had many brothers and he would probably be more known as a general, not as Lord Chaucer.
