However, as it turned out, the main reason was none of these, at least according to what Dot claimed. [color=fb3a81][i]Ah, so that’s why...[/i][/color] In that very instant, Liese's respect for the younger student's valor soared faster than a bolt of lightning incantation. A warm, [i]proud[/i] smile caressed over the taller blonde's lips, [color=fb3a81][b]"I'm honored, well, it would be immoral of me to squander the boons I've been granted with squalor and idleness... unlike others of my station, tis' simply a noble's solemn duty to own up to the privileges given to us, do that or relinquish your title to someone else more deserving."[/b][/color] He then leaned in closer to Dot, speaking in a lower voice to match her hush, [color=fb3a81][b]"Of course, my utmost apologies, comrade... and believe me, I [i]know[/i] how it feels like to be treated different just because of my body alone... I know [i]very[/i] well."[/b][/color] With that, Liese leaned back, his smile had shifted into that of empathy, he had found a comrade-in-arms, [color=fb3a81][b]"We shall prove to this kingdom that the prestige of knighthood must never prioritize someone due to their nobility, nor gender, Sir Auferrum."[/b][/color]
