Then, Orion's playful expression softened. "Are you sure this decision comes from your heart?" he asked, a faint smile emerging.
"...Yes," Isadora stuttered, nodding her head firmly. "Both from a personal and political point of view, it would only become more troublesome if I delayed this proposal any longer," she explained.
