Chapter Text
leo stands in front of his desk, chair pushed haphazardly back as he tends to something he should have done all too long ago. a pen is clutched tightly in his hand as he scratches out his name, his birth name and corrin. neither name sits well with him any more.
he swipes his hand across his cheek, feeling the slight chill as ink is smeared across porcelain skin. the king pays no attention as he continues to add information to the book, turning the page and carefully laying out the next chart.
the pen's scratching is the only sound in the room aside from leo's soft breaths, delicately crafting the box that holds his name and adds his birthdate – june 30 – underneath the cleanly penned leo. it doesn't take much more time to draw up the line signifying ryouma and his marriage and their children.
forrest is penned in as leo's legitimate child, not a child born out of wedlock - from mistakes the man had made. shiro is truly their legitimate child, and both of their lovely children share leo's dirty blond locks.
he sighs, cleaning the ink from the tip of his pen and sat back down, capping the ink and looking over the pages.
the nohrian king finds the information agreeable now, before swearing under his breath and flipping the page back to scratch out camilla's name, her wish to be forgotten in nohrian history. leo does not agree with it, that she must leave a legacy, but she did not want her legacy to be of the death and bloodshed their shared path is steeped in.
leo completely understands. he lives for nohr, and the nohr of his children. he wants to make their world a better place.
