Kai didn't respond immediately. His mind wandered back to a time when he messed up.
He knew too well how many times he misstepped. He was aware of the many chances he got, some of which he was undeserving.
Perhaps, in the process of navigating love, he found forgiveness and self-discovery. Lila. His dearest, Lila. She was an experience as well as a novelty that the universe gifted him.
To this day, he was responsible for most of her pain. Perhaps, he was truly undeserving of the blessing that she was. However, he was a selfish man.
As a ruler, he was used to making the rules. Where things didn't suit his needs, he knew how to bend the rules he made. Until she came into his life and taught him selflessness.
It wasnt to say that his selfish trait was gone. Rather, his selfishness no longer caused harm to the people he cherished.
