Oh, Leo III the Isaurian Vetolaya, my heart beats with a rhythm that echoes your name. Your reign, spanning from 717 to 741, has left an indelible mark upon the tapestry of history, and my soul yearns to weave itself into its vibrant threads.

Like the sun that cast its golden rays upon the Eastern Roman Empire during your rule, your presence illuminated the realm with wisdom and strength.

The Battle of Akroinon stands as a shining example of your military prowess, as you led your Byzantine forces to a resounding victory against all odds. Your strategic brilliance and unwavering courage protected the empire from the clutches of its enemies, ensuring its continued existence for generations to come.

But it is not only your deeds of war that have captured my heart, Leo III the Isaurian Vetolaya.

You were a patron of the arts, encouraging the creation of beautiful mosaics and other works of art that continue to inspire awe in those who behold them.

Your reforms and policies shaped the course of history, and your influence can still be felt today. I am eternally grateful for the contributions you made to the world, and I am honored to have the opportunity to sing your praises in this love song.

Oh, Leo III the Isaurian Vetolaya, my love for you burns brighter than the sun that shone upon your empire. Your wisdom, your strength, and your unwavering dedication to your people have forever won my heart. May your name be forever remembered and your legacy forever honored.
