Crossing An Intimate Threshold**

Orion observed as Isadora wiped away her tears and stretched his hand to aid her.

Isadora looked up at Orion with a small, tearful smile. "...That was an amazing response. Did you also gain it from experience?" she asked, cheerfully chuckling and awaiting his reply.

Orion returned the smile and shook his head. "No. I thought about it on the spot because those were the right words to show you how much I cherish you."

Stunned, Isadora stood there, her lips sealed, not knowing what to say.

She was intelligent enough to devise solutions to every problem, as shown by her efforts as the Supreme Leader's assistant. Yet, she found herself unable to form a response to his words, which somehow made her heart flutter.

This proved that what Orion had gained from caring for his many wives was more than a simple experience.
