Cao Pi's description reminds him less of his own wife and moreso of Riza. Although that wasn't exactly fair to Gracia who could certainly hold her own when the situation called for it. After all, she'd worked at a bakery fending off customers -- including a vast military presence -- for a few years. And she'd certainly been clever enough to keep up with him and know when things were troubling Maes.

He could not have survived his life post-war time had it not been for his wife. However, he knew very well that he had not married a warrior. Roy would likely never marry Riza, despite his attempts to put the two of them together, but if they were to marry Maes could easily imagine it being a relationship similar to the one Cao Pi had with his own wife and the thought makes him smile.

"I can imagine. I'm glad you found someone that was your equal...both on and off the field of battle. It's a nice feeling and I think we may be some of the few people here that understand it."
