Leouch's POV

That sweet smile

Flashing it nonchalantly

Finding its way into people's hearts

Giving off a certain kind of light

Her smile, what does it really mean?

Is it a mask to hide her true nature?

Is it her way of hiding her pain?

Or is it something else, something deeper?

I have been her brother for so long

Vowed to be beside her, to protect her and care for her till death

I had become the black king, a grand chess master

But i still could not understand her smile

I took up the mantle of Zero

Declared war upon my birth land

Killed hundreds and thousands

But I still could not understand her smile

I killed our parents in cold blood

Betrayed my comrade in arms

Pushed away the woman I love

But I still could not understand her smile

I became what I loathed the most

Becoming her enemy

Forcing her hand to attack me

But I still could not understand her smile

I had subjugated the whole world through fear

Brainwashed an entire army to obey me

Made the whole world despise me

But I still could not understand her smile

I was killed in front of the whole world

By the very persona that I created

With a dramatic ending

I fell in front of her

It was then that I understood her smile

Death was all it took for me to understand

"Even with a wounded heart I will protect you"

Please R&R! :D
