He's the leader, but he isn't the hero.
And there's a difference. A huge difference. Some may not think that there is, but it's true.
A leader takes action when needed, looks at the crisis with a critical eye, and tries to decide how to save the most amount of people with as few casualties as possible.
A hero, however, is always needed, no matter what. A hero will save everybody, or at least try. And when they don't save everyone, even if it's an enemy, they still mourn and still feel guilty. They believe in redemption and that everyone and anyone can be saved, no matter how far off the deep end they are.
That's why he's just the leader. He'll save those that need to be saved, and leave the others to fend for themselves. He comes up with the plans, is knowledgeable, and does well at giving orders. But that's not what makes a hero.
And so enters Mahiru. All bright and shiny and hopeful and loving. She's the hero. Or in this case, heroine. In the end, she'll be the one to save us all.
He knows this. And when the time comes, he'll graciously step down and let the princess take her rightful place as the true leader. As the Heroine.
A/N: Hope you all enjoyed it. And actually review this time! I didn't get any for the last update. Yes, I know I'm demanding. But hey, no reviews, no updates. So it can be a win-win or lose-lose situation. So…yeah…REVIEW!
