"Actually, in my heart, you're the one who truly embodies knightly values," said Rein earnestly.
Whether it was Menia's performance in the recent battle or what Rein sensed from the battle scenes within Menia's consciousness fragments, Rein had a deep-seated respect for this mature, beautiful, and wise woman before him.
Although Rein hadn't fully merged with all of Menia's consciousness fragments, he had seen enough to understand her character well.
Upon hearing Rein's words, Menia was slightly taken aback.
When she came back to her senses, she found Rein still looking at her intently.
If it were someone else being so rude, Menia would surely be angry.
In the past, even with Rein, Menia would have felt offended.
But at this moment, she was different.
Unbeknownst to her, after going through the consciousness fusion with Rein, she inexplicably felt a natural closeness and familiarity with him.
In a way, this intimacy surpassed even that of a lover.
