the Heart of a Warrior Princess
Author Notes: A Stella Centric piece, from what I can observe of Stella's nature in the cutscene, I don't believe she is a mean-hearted type person nor has any desire to particiapate in war. Part of this piece is inspired by a quote Lelouch says in Code Geass.
Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy Versus XIII
My men treat me like I'm sort of warrior princess, some type of valkryie.
But the truth is I'm neither.
Yes, I have powers bestowed upon me from the Death Goddess Etro, and I suppose that is their reasoning for treating me as such.
I don't desire bloodshed, I don't desire war either.
I may understand the reasoning why my father decided to claim war against his country, and I know that my country needs the crystal he possesses to survive.
But I never desired this.
I never desired to take another man's life.
To see my blade pierce his body, and watch the golden surface of my rapier be stained with crimson blood.
I'm on the battlefield, because I believe I could end the war a look quicker if I am. Not to mention what type of leader would I be when I do take my father's throne if I'm always giving orders in a safe place. How can I expect my men, my people to follow such
a ruler.
They call me warrior princess, and valkryie of the battlefields. I know that in the eyes of the enemy soldiers they probably call me worse things.
But in my heart I know the truth.
I am simply a woman, a princess trying to protect my men and my country.
