Regrets

Disclaimer: Kyou Kara Maou does not belong to me and I make no money from this work of fanfiction at all.

Susanna Julia had no regrets when she accepted the Original King's offer.

Become the next Maou, and save the world. She had wanted such a chance, for so many different reasons…

She had many regrets about her life. She regretted leaving two men behind: Aldebert and Conrad. She regretted being so weak, and so many people dying under her hand. She regretted being unable to stop the pain and conflict in her world. To her blind eyes, there was no difference between human and demon…

The thing she regretted the most was this; she regretted being a woman.

Julia was always sheltered and protected, standing behind the men in her life. She could not fight with her comrades. She could not give vent to the rage that would sometimes fill her; a rage that a man could express. How many times had she wanted to thunder across the landscape and right the wrongs that had so often plagued her world? How many times had she wanted to rail against her blind eyes that kept her sheltered like a doll?

Yes, she would take this chance. She just hoped that the ones she loved and left would understand. She had no wish to harm them with her decision. Her death was inevitable, and she craved this chance to make things right, and to become what she had always desired.

White Julia would return as the Maou, the demon king… And she would revel in it.

A/N: A bit of me thinking what the hell was going on in Julia's mind? She was sweet and peaceful- but she worked herself to death healing people.

I also thought that a person repressed her whole life could easily become the slightly nuts demon king we all know and love- who is immensely powerful, never really seems to kill anyone, and comes up with really, really bad speeches. I honestly don't think the Maou is quite a separate personality… I think he's a nice person who is really pissed off. Of course, I've only seen through episode 50 now. So if it's different later on. Uh… Okay.
