"Well, I... may need to confirm it with the Empress, but... would... would you be okay with me joining your family?"

Leone was extremely crimson, her red eyes fixed to the floor as she shuffled slightly.

I looked at her, stunned, before chuckling. I couldn't hold it back; she was just so cute when she asked that~!

"I wouldn't mind that at all, Leone. However, I am not the one you need to ask; that is Lady Jahi. She is the one you would be marrying, after all."

She looked back up at me, pursing her lips before saying "On the surface that is true, but Anput and I both know that you hold a lot of sway over Jahi. If you didn't like us, Jahi would never look our way. Besides, we both also know... know how far you two have gone..."

At the end of her sentence Leone looked down, her voice lowering to a mutter as she looked up at me from under her long, red lashes.

I chuckled again, not denying her claim.
