Chapter 595: Reina

Chapter 595: Reina

Sein’s genuine feelings for Leena were undeniable.

Yet, like many men, Sein struggled with lust.

One thing was certain, though—he would never hold any other woman in as high regard as he did Leena.

Nevertheless, this did not deter Sein from seeking decent-looking women to satisfy his physical desires.

Fortunately, Leena did not seem to mind.

Leena had a lower drive than Sein, making it impossible for her to fulfill his needs by herself.

When they were in the Western Archipelago, Leena had occasionally encouraged him to turn to Faye.

Due to his Verdant Flame Body Tempering experiments, Sein’s physical needs were more intense than those of typical mages.

He could not help but wonder how his other seniors in the Verdant Flame Faction took care of this problem.

Regrettably, Sein’s mentor was Lorianne who did not inherit the verdant flame magic.

Since Gregory, Bernice, and Feylis were powerful Rank Four mages or higher, they were too preoccupied to mentor anyone who was not their direct apprentice.

During the Viridian Venom Flame World War, Sein had forged strong bonds with peers in the Verdant Flame Faction, such as Selphy.

Perhaps during his next visit to the Divine Tower of Verdant Flame, Sein could seek advice from Selphy and others on these matters.

Sein's distracted stare during the meeting with Natalya had placed him at a disadvantage before they had even spoken.

Though Natalya had never been romantically involved with a man, she knew how to leverage her assets.

Noticing Sein’s casual glances, Natalya stretched lightly as if showcasing her well-toned figure.

Over the past few decades, Sein’s constitution had significantly improved, and it had been a long time since he had released his pent-up frustrations.

Previously, in the Western Archipelago, his connection with Leena had been more mental and spiritual.

However, indulging his physical desires with Leena might prove too much for her delicate frame.

Hence, Natalya’s subtle movement caused his breath to quicken.

Before Sein could respond, however, the sound of Gould inhaling sharply beside him snapped him back to reality.

On the other hand, Sein’s fiancee took great care with her appearance. Off the battlefield, she wore her long, red hair loose. For combat, she meticulously tucked it under her helmet.

The woman before him truly changed his perceptions of female knights in the Magus World.

Despite his surprise, Sein managed to hide his reaction, maintaining the gentlemanly composure he had shown earlier when Natalya caught him off guard.

Meanwhile, Gould involuntarily shivered as Reina turned around, clearly lacking Sein’s tactfulness.

While Sein maintained his cool facade, Gould’s tanned face betrayed his discomfort.

He had actually been beaten by Reina three times for speaking out of turn.

Most knights from the Order of the Steel Fist had been beaten up by Reina before and learned their lesson after one or two times, but not Gould.

The fact that Gould had been beaten up three times showed his lack of tact.

Gould was actually a nice person, but he was generally loud.

Reina was not one to beat people up randomly either; this was only her response to derogatory comments, particularly about her size.

Given her history of even challenging a Rank Three Sky Knight, there was little she feared.

“What? You got a problem with me?” Reina asked, narrowing her eyes condescendingly at Gould who stood beside Sein.

Her use of “problem” was a pointed question, probing whether Gould was silently judging her weight.

“N-No! No! Of course not!” Gould stammered, hastily waving his hand.

“I’m just here with this guy—he’s Sein!” Gould quickly clarified, pushing Sein forward.

Sein cursed internally, taken aback by the sudden spotlight.

His engagement to Natalya was well-known among the knights, and undoubtedly to Reina as well.

Reina’s focus shifted to Sein, who was pushed to the front against his will.

She sized him up briefly, yet her expression remained devoid of anger.

“Oh,” she murmured softly before sitting in the training room.

As she settled, the impact sent a tremor through the floor that Sein could feel under his feet.
