Elizabeth smirked at the sight of Amelia blushing, folding her arms. "Oh, how adorable. The fierce princess of Damnation blushing like a schoolgirl."
"Elizabeth!" Amelia snapped, her voice muffled behind her hands as her cheeks turned a brighter shade of red.
Minato briefly cleared his throat, trying to maintain a calm expression, though his ears were slightly pink. "It's not just Amelia," he said evenly. "There are others who rely on me too, but…" he paused, glancing toward Amelia, "…she is one of them."
Deborah gasped softly, leaning forward. "He admits it! In front of everyone!"
Elizabeth laughed out loud. "Brave of you, human. Most men don't have the guts to propose in front of everyone."
Amelia peeked between her fingers, glaring at her sisters. "Would you two stop it already? You're embarrassing me!"
While they were talking, a loud noise suddenly echoed from outside... so loud that Minato heard it clearly from inside the room.
