Reborn: To Love My Prince Who Never Became a King
Chapter 4
Zane Knight {DO}
(Zane wiped his face, his heart pounding. He was still overwhelmed, but the weight of what the spirit was saying was sinking in.)
Spirit
Let me ask you something, Zane
Zane Knight {DO}
(met its eyes)
Spirit
Did you love Lucian before you discovered the truth about your in-laws? Or....
Spirit
Did you only fall for him after realizing you were betrayed?
Zane Knight {DO}
(Eyes widened)
Spirit
Because if your love came only after your own pain and knowing his pain, then it is not love. It is pity
Zane flinched as though he had been struck. His hands clenched
Zane Knight {DO}
No.( His voice was quiet but firm)
Zane Knight {DO}
I loved him before
Spirit
(Watched him carefully)
Zane Knight {DO}
(He swallowed hard, his gaze distant as memories flooded back)
Zane Knight {DO}
Who couldn’t love him? (A sad smile touched his lips)
Zane Knight {DO}
Even when he was cruel, when he hid behind that cold mask…
Zane Knight {DO}
I still saw him. The way his hands trembled when he thought no one was looking.
Zane Knight {DO}
The way he always took the blame, even when it wasn’t his fault
Zane Knight {DO}
(His voice grew softer) The way he never asked for love… but always gave it anyway
Zane Knight {DO}
I fell in love with him
Zane Knight {DO}
With his past. With the ruthless man who stood before me, and with the wounded boy he used to be
Zane Knight {DO}
I hated how he always took the blame, never asked for love yet gave it so freely. He hid his pain, his struggles—everything. And yet, in the silence of his care, in the way he looked after me without expecting anything in return, I realized… love isn’t about finding the perfect partner. Sometimes, love is about two imperfect souls learning to adjust, to change—for each other
Zane Knight {DO}
After knowing the truth, I wasn’t heartbroken over what happened to me
Zane Knight {DO}
I was furious for him.
Zane Knight {DO}
Because even my worst pain was nothing compared to what he endured his whole life
Zane Knight {DO}
(look at the spirit with confusion in his eyes)
Spirit
Change your fate. Change his
Spirit
( said while Stepping aside, revealing a glowing doorway)
Zane took a deep breath, his heart racing.
The spirit’s final words followed him as he stepped into the light.
Spirit
Do not make me regret this decision, Zane
