(POV: Lumiere)
With our previous discussion concluded, I turned to Lirien and posed a surprising question.
"Lirien, how would you like to join us for the vacation?"
She was clearly caught off guard by my proposition.
Tentatively, she mustered the words to voice her disbelief.
"You would have me?" she questioned.
"Of course, Lirien. Not only will you have the opportunity to spend more time with Isadora, but you've become an important member of our family. I believe it's only fitting that you come along." I smiled.
"...family...?"
"Yes, family."
Anxiety flickered across Lirien's face as she hesitated, her doubt evident. "Are you sure it's fine for me to come?" she ventured cautiously.
I let out a sigh, my expression becoming softer as I met her gaze with reassurance.
"Lirien, you've proven your loyalty and dedication by serving under me. It would be an honor to have you with us. Please, do join us on this vacation."
