Looking at Leon, who had a worried and confused expression, Eli immediately understood.
The hesitation on Leon's part was completely reasonable, in her opinion. This is because the responsibility of the Emperor was too great for Leon at the moment.
His hands were already full of looking for ways to make the Capital be a safe place for her and Little Han. To add the Empire on top of his current burdens, Eli could also feel that this would not be easy for Leon to carry.
She held Leon's hand and looked at him with assurance in her eyes, "Whatever your decision is, I am here to support you. We're in this together."
Unsatisfied about how she expressed her heart out, she took his hands and placed it on her cheeks, transferring a little bit of warmth from her body.
She wanted to let Leon feel that no matter what, she will do her best to help him and stay by his side.
