Jay's eyes were somber as he said, "I believe in you."
Zayne was somewhat touched by his blind confidence. Throughout his entire life, this was the first time someone highly regarded him. Furthermore, that someone was the crown prince of Imperial Capital.
Zayne felt out of place. "What if... What if... I fail?"
Jay's gaze pierced right through him. "What if I tell you that Rose is Angeline? Now, do you still want a taste of failure?"
The other man froze like a statue.
After a long pause, Zayne excitedly removed the laurel on his head and grasped Jay's hand. "You could even come up with such a lame excuse just to coax me into searching someone, huh?"
Jay replied, "This is the truth."
Although Zayne thought that this was ridiculous, this matter was too important. He lowered himself and asked Jay, "Can you give me a good reason to believe you?"
"The difference between Rose before and after the accident is staggering. The Rose we know now has all of Angelina's skills and abilities."
Zayne looked at Jay, astonished. "So, you're saying
that Angel was resurrected in Rose's body?"
Jay nodded, making the other man shudder.
He was both excited and elated as if something had awoken the decadent fury within him.
In an instant, Zayne became full of... Life.
"My sister's back?"
He thought of him fighting with Rose, of Rose going down on her knees just to save him, and of how Rose loved eating tete de veau, French calf’s head...
Zayne doubted no more.
"My sister’s back." He was beaming with joy.
