Rue is getting far too much hate in the comments - I can't speak to his motivation to becoming a Leshah (we also don't even know if that was his choice, it doesn't seem like a position one can just ask for) but I can say that it's obvious just how wholly he is devoted to Na-in. The problem is he can only express it in the way he has been indoctrinated to by the society they're in; through worship.
I think the last few chapters have been an eye-opener for Rue, they live in a society where blood sacrifice is considered the ultimate act of loyalty and devotion - but he's faced with the conundrum that his 'sacrifice' would more likely hurt Na-in which goes against everything Rue has been taught.
I don't know man, I don't know if Rue even realizes he holds Na-in in higher esteem than Amon himself, his actions have always been with Na-in's happiness as the priority, i think he's just coming to realize that Na-in's happiness isn't what their society is trying to force it to be.
