Excuse me, if you may, to permit me some time,
And allow me a moment to speak in a rhyme,
But there appears to be some troubling confusion
Over my many betrayals and crimes.
-
An introduction is in order, before we start,
And don't worry, to lie, I don't have the heart.
The name's Delita - surely we've met
As I'm the king who makes misdirection an art.
-
Why are you here? You must surely be asking,
And, to your mind, this must surely be taxing.
Good thing I'm here to fill you on the rest,
Though it won't be politick here I be waxing.
-
I'm here to tell you that not all heros are saints,
Who sacrifice and kill without much complaint.
There's so very much blood on my hands, you know,
Most of which done with little restraint.
-
Perhaps we'll start with my framing of Cid,
The man was a pain and kept calling me 'kid'.
Oh, and he was too much a threat to my plot
And victory required that for him to be rid.
-
As for Goltana, that bastard deserved it,
As much as I am loving to admit it.
Using his own faith, I used him like a tissue
And butchered him in ways that were indeed quite befit.
-
However, silencing Lanando was easily my best
For - as you may surely have guessed -
She simply knew too much of my plans
And my patience was already too far too stressed.
-
Regarding Ovelia - as fun as it was,
It was actually not even part of my cause.
The irony is I was going to let her live,
But she had to then be destroyed by her flaws.
-
...Well, Ramza's modesty was fun at first,
But gradually grew to be quite accursed.
So I convinced him to fight the church in my stead
And busy himself instead with stopping the worst.
-
His brothers, unfortunately, were not of my doing -
Their untimely deaths left me endlessly stewing.
However, it's for the best they're no longer here,
As their self-righteousnous was so very subduing.
-
Larg, however, was a fun one to plan,
Getting the brothers Beoulve to commit was a slam!
However, I only wish I was there when he died,
Laughing as everything went according to scam.
-
And Funeral? Ha! That fool had it all coming,
Hoping to manipulate me and call it cunning.
Good thing I was able to set the man straight
By killing him in a victory quite stunning.
-
There are most likely others that slip my mind,
If only, to remember, I had enough time,
But being a king is a very taxing affair,
As is finding enough words to seamlessly rhyme.
-
Hmm? What's that? I'm a monster, you say?
Watch your tongue, lad, or surely you'll pay
And not in shiney gil coins, either, at that,
I mean you'll not live to see the end of the day.
-
I mean, really, your views on me are quite trite.
"Are they unrealistic"? Yes, they are quite.
I tried to set you straight - really I did -
But apparently your stupidity won't give without a fight.
-
My time's running out, I must bid you farewell,
Though I'd much rather wish you to go to hell.
Just remember, young fellow, that not all of us are good,
And no stories are told of those of whom fell.

A/N: Well, flabbergasted is one way to describe me right now.I'm not sure how this happened. One moment I'm writting an epic poem about a hero-thief and the next Delita's laughing about all the lives he's ruined.
Not that it's a total loss; Evil!Delita is so very fun to write :3.
Anyway, it's the same routine as last time; vote for this for the FFTWC if you liked it, blah blah blah. If you don't know what I'm talking about, see the FFT Forum for details in the appropriate thread. Later!
