well i mean 5 chapters isn't that much consider how long it takes for each panel, uploading process, etc. it's not a yes or no decision because there is a lot riding on it and girlie isn't ready to give her life away just like that to someone she isn't really in love with yet lol. it would be a hard decision for a lot of people.

It would’ve been hard if she wasn’t spending half the manga trying to get her brother to accept their relationship. Why would she do that if she’s struggling to accept his proposal? And it’s not like anything is happening in those 5 chapters other than characters asking her wether or not she will say yes

well she isn't trying to get her brother to accept the proposal out of love. she doesn't really have prominent feelings for him, besides the small ones that seem to be developing. the main reason she's trying to get the brother to be okay with the relationship is so that her brother can be comfortable with the idea of her leaving the household and stop being so brattily possessive of her.

when she even wanted to go out her brother would throw a fit and scream. remember at the end of the day she is trying to prevent herself from being killed (by her brother?), so she needs to do it in a way that won't make him angry because she still believes she can die, even though we see that her brother seems to have changed, she doesn't technically know that. it is entirely valid for her to be cautious in getting into a relationship with someone she barely knows just to be a legal guardian for her brother.

LOL The reason she hasn't answered (well she did-just privately), is because she has to OFFICIALLY say yes, since he proposed to her in public. Due to this she has to stand up in public, and respond back to the proposal. Think about it, she is gets nervous around all nobility, and now she is going to have to stand up before them and respond to the hero of the kingdom, whom everyone worships. Add into the fact that she is a blacksmith. Expect her to present him with a gift of some sort at the Ball. (after she is no doubt cornered by the Princess)

Are you a kid or what? You seem to not know the severity of marriage... it's not something you just said in the spur of the moment like how the other isekai webtoons are... As Alicia, there's so many thing to sort out first. It's not always about romance gurl. Just read some other cliche if thaf's what u want
I love this manga but aren’t they dragging the proposal a bit much
