[Ardyn bit back a snarl; so that's what you call love, is it?]
[He understood, logically, that the Accursed needed to be put down. That a monster rampaging through Lucis in its infancy would have wrought the kingdom to ashes before it began. In that regard, Izunia had been right.]
[But it hurt. It hurt to have his own brother kill what remained of Ardyn Lucis Caelum in a monster's shell. It had been his fault, his fault Ardyn suffered through execution after execution and generations locked away on Angelgard. If Izunia hadn't acted rashly, if he and Gilgamesh had sought some other way, would the world have fallen to darkness millennia later? Would 'Ardyn Izunia' have existed as the shreds of a healer driven to madness?]
[He understood why it had to happen, on the surface. But Ardyn hated it, and hated the brother who had wrought his elder twin's suffering and insanity.]
You don't even know me anymore. You know nothing of what this past year has been, or the person I am now.
