I know this doesn't have much to do with my theory, but he just has to be good, and it's an awesome picture.
He has his back turned to Beryl, his ruler. See what I mean about subconcious resentment?
Can't you just tell by the set of his back that he wishes he were in control of his own destiny instead of Beryl? (Note: My friend tells me that in this picture Zoicite was just killed by Beryl. Now he's really gonna get her!)
Anyone capable of looking so cheerful can't be evil!
I would just like to break in here and say,"He's so sexy!"
See the way he bows to Beryl, making her think he's so loyal? Clever boy!
Side by side with another Beryl tried to bring around to her way of thinking. Stand together and fight her boys!
