...An entire planet I had fought my whole life to save and sacrificed my humanity for turned on me. My own brother ordered my execution, Clarith. And the punchline of that little joke is that I wish it had worked. The savior doesn't get a miracle of his own.
[Ardyn scowled, Luscinia hopping over to Clarith's shoulder instead for the moment like she knew what was coming.]
The tragedy of Ardyn Lucis Caelum has no happy ending. There's not a single person in all of Eos who ever remembered there was once a king who gave up his body and soul for his people. No one will lament the loss of a man redacted from history, and even less will mourn the death of the Accursed or the scourge he brought down upon the earth.
So I'm just thrilled you're stupid enough to have stumbled upon the impossible. Or to delude yourself into thinking a single word you say matters to me.
