I couldn't help being taken aback when I heard this and I wasn't able to react right away.
However, I was pulled back to my senses when the Ice Princess said, "What's wrong? Tell me what you have in mind."
I saw the way that she looked at me and I could tell that she was serious about hearing my plan. As for her reason why, I naturally didn't know, but since she was willing to hear me out…then there was no reason to hesitate any further.
