Leona is definitely more cold hearted and tragic in his King ( one of them at least ) verse. In this particular verse, his father calls for his execution right after he and Ruggie return from their vacation shortly after graduating.
Gonna put the rest under read more cuz it got long--
After he’s busted out of prison by Ruggie , the two of them are on the run for quite some time. During this time, its something that really changes in Leona. He was getting ready to spend his days with Ruggie and become professional magift players. Being stormed in by the Lion Guard ( yes its what I am calling the lionesses) and throne into prison for something he never planned to do, set him off. Imagine being told you are a monster, a danger, that you’re nothing, you’ll never amount to anything important in your life time and time again. Leona finally trying to get over that, and be with someone who does make him feel like something important and is just stripped away from that. Thrown in jail and made out to be everything his father simply fears will become of him.
So he plans, and he does exactly what his father feared. He’s already painted him a beast, why not show everyone exactly that? So he takes the kingdom by force, with Ruggie, with whatever allies he’s managed to sway to his side. I imagine outsiders being a big source of that. And he takes the castle. He becomes darker after he kills his father, turning him to sand. I imagine to Leona its quite poetic, hearing he’s nothing from his father and then Leona virtually turning him into nothing. Still, it hurts him. It doesn’t bring him happiness. Even with his father gone, there’s still his brother, rightful heir and Cheka the next in line. He doesn’t have the best relationship with his brother, if anything he feels like a stranger to him but he doesn’t hate him, and he adores Cheka. He loses both of them, forcing them both to advocate their right to the throne and have them imprisoned. I imagine he tries to give Cheka the opportunity to be free, but something tells me he goes with his father. That one person in his family that held unconditional love, completely gone.
Because of this he’s colder, more ruthless. That darkness in him growing, manifesting but its still fought back by one particular force and I say that is Ruggie. Probably, the only person who can still make Leona laugh or smile. He’s the voice of reason, and keeps him from being a total tyrant.
As a ruler, when he says he will make change and stop anyone who tries to get in the way of it, he isn’t joking. Kind of like how Scar brought the hyenas to live with the lions, but he isn’t gonna be as dumb about it. He isn’t going to let them just eat everything in sight. Scar was a terrible king, and I think Leona kind of feels that too. Scar put a crown on his head and was like lalalala i do what I want. didn’t care about the politics, and actually leading ( and he was supposed to be the brains. bitch pls.) I definitely believe that Leona wants to put work in improving the slums and lesser area of the Savannah. Its not to say this makes him a better king or a great king. His popularity is split, def those that hate and despise him for usurping the throne and others who follow him because he’s made life better for them. He’s still an arrogant asshole, he’s merciless with traitors and his enemies, but he does actually get involved with the politics and the importance of running a country. So hes not good king, but hes not irresponsible with the title either.
“Nothing. I know nothing about you or your people.” It wasn’t untrue, so why wouldn’t she admit to it? All she knew about him was his name and that he was apparently set to rule some kingdom. She didn’t know any particulars.
“However, I do know what history and common sense can teach. My point being: don’t get too caught up with trying to preserve your life. Some things you can never take back once they’ve been done.”
‘ A wise council ’ he remarks, but he hardly sounds convinced, despite how true the words are. Leona is no fool, he knows there is more to ruling over people than simply the power he holds. ‘ So where exactly does honor fit into that? Is it less honorable to kill my enemies with brute force or out wit them and kill them when they least expect it? The outcome will still be the same. Don’t tell me ‘mercy’ . ’
The wandered the hallways of his empty kingdom, his hands gently brushing against the damaged and scorched stone from the battle that had taken place. This had not been what he wanted, no, all he wanted was to move forward. He had been leaning towards a new future, one where he left all this behind. But his father had brought this upon himself, for years painting him the villain, believing he was would always be the reason for the kingdom’s downfall. Never once did he think to point the finger at himself, if he had just listened, actually saw him for who he was.
He already heard the words, usurper. For once the name rang true, and he had forced his brother to advocate his right to the crown and placed it on his own head. He was forced to take this path, and if he had to take it then he was going to make everyone responsible paid the ultimate price. His father certainly did, the look of fear in the hard man’s eyes as his SECOND born son held power over him, slowly turning him into nothing but a pile of sand.
Was he proud now? To see everything he believed would come, become the reality. Leona continued to walk among the ruins, the greater change in his heart still ached with the pain it brought him to end up here. There was no turning back now, he couldn’t run, he couldn’t hide from it. The crown rested atop his head and he was the ruler of the Afterglow Savannah. This was his country now, his lands.
He raises a hand to signal the lionesses, by law, his to command. They stood, each bowing to their king as he made his way to the throne. This was his country now, his lands, his throne.
“Enough to know that a ruler with no honor won’t be worth anything in the eyes of his people dead or alive. And from the standpoint of a ruler being a ‘leader’, that’s probably the worst possible scenario I can think of for you.”
‘ And what do you know of my people ? Rulers who choose honor always end up remembered for it, yes. They all live very short lives too, they die for it. What good is honor if you’re dead? I want don’t want to be just remembered, another portrait on a wall, or a useless star in the sky ’
