HIS SECOND LIFE (Protecting her at all cost)

At night, amidst the freezing blowing breeze, King Yohan is seen running with his three-year-old son, Zayn to the royal inn, behind him is Queen Tiffany who is in shambles as she watches her son battle for his dear life.

Prince Zayn was talking to his older brother, Crown Prince Raymon before passing out. The loud thump sound alerted the royal guards who were securing the prince's room and they in turn were sent by the King and Queen.

"Help my son, don't let him die" Queen Tiffany kept saying as she was running barefoot.

As soon as they arrived at the inn, the guards were kept outside as only the royal family was let inside. The furrowed brows of the royal physician worried Queen Tiffany a lot while King Yohan could only act strong and pray for Zayn's recovery.

The royal physician kept putting a lot of things on Zayn's body, but nothing seemed to be working out fine. The doctor finally left the room hurriedly to get something.

" Yohan, what's going to happen to our son?" Tiffany asked worriedly.

"Our son is royalty, he is Prince Zayn Lancaster, he will survive, " King Yohan said, trying to convince Tiffany and himself. But as soon as the doctor came back to the room, whatever hope they had for Zayn's survival vanished.

The royal physician came in with the life lantern of Zayn which was already dim and on the verge of going off completely.

In the Kingdom of Daichi, every royal born and warrior had a life lantern. The life lantern would keep burning as an indication that a particular person is still alive. In the palace, there's a special room where all life lanterns are kept for easy access but unfortunately for Zayn, as he battled with his life, his lantern kept going dim which meant that he was about to die.

As the royal physician came closer to Zayn, the worse happened. Zayn's life lantern suddenly went off and immediately Zayn's body became cold.

"No! No!! No!!!" Queen Tiffany screamed as she saw the life lantern of Zayn finally went dark and his body became still.

"Zayn! My baby! Wake up! Mummy is here" Queen Tiffany said with tears in her eyes as she was violently shaking Zayn on his deathbed.

King Yohan stood with tears in his eyes as well, Zayn was the replica of him, he loved that lad so much and his heart was broken as he saw his child lying in silence without breathing

"My Queen, you have to be strong," the royal physician said before trying to wrap Zayn with a white cloth.

"Don't you dare!!" Queen Tiffany angrily said as she held the physician's hand before turning to King Yohan.

"Don't you just stand there and do nothing, Yohan!" Tiffany said bitterly. "Our son just died, do something!!" " You are the king of Daichi, the strongest of the dark descendants, save your son!!" Tiffany yelled at Yohan.

Yohan was in pain as well after all Zayn was also his child but there was nothing he could do to revive his son and he felt angry with himself.

" Tiffany, Zayn is gone, he's gone, " Yohan said, hugging Queen Tiffany but she pushed him away before aggressively picking up Zayn from his deathbed and hugging him tightly, sobbing loudly.

**St. Patrick Hospital, Mega City.

"Push, push!! The baby's head is near already, push harder ma'am" the delivery nurse said.

"Hang in there my love " Mr Nathan McLoy encouraged his wife who was in labor.

"Arrgh,ahhh!!!" Mrs Beatrice McLoy screamed before pushing with her final strength.

" Congratulations Mr and Mrs McLoy, it's a girl," the nurse holding the baby said to the couple.

" Can I hold her?" Beatrice asked

"Sure," the nurse said before handing the baby over to her.

"She's finally here, Nat, " Beatrice said, crying gently. "Our miracle baby is here" she added before sobbing loudly.

Nathan McLoy could only smile with genuine happiness, after eight years of waiting to have a child of his own, he finally got his child.

"Please hand the baby over while we clean her up," the nurse said before leaving the room with baby McLoy.

A few minutes later, Mrs McLoy was moved to a regular room where she could entertain visitors. Her baby girl was also brought to her.

"Kylie, " Beatrice said softly before smiling with joy. "My daughter's name is Kylie McLoy," she said loudly this time, and immediately the baby cried before opening her tiny hands that were closed for a while.

Baby Kylie opened her hands and suddenly started emitting light to the surprise of those in the room before it quickly disappeared.

Beatrice and Nathan opened their mouth wide at the sight of it

"Kylie??" Beatrice said, touching her baby.

**Back to the Royal Hospital at Daichi

As soon as Kylie was born, Zayn's life lantern started emitting little light and his cold body started to turn warm.

"Zayn!? Zayn!!?" Queen Tiffany screamed as she felt Zayn move against her body. "He is awake, he has come back to life," Tiffany said crying and smiling before looking at both the royal physician and Yohan

"Give him to me!" The royal physician said as he laid Zayn to bed and examined him again. King Yohan went closer to Zayn, his little boy was struggling to open his eyes.

" L..l..look" Queen Tiffany stuttered as she pointed in a direction after gaining the attention of the royal physician and Yohan.

"This is impossible!" The royal physician exclaimed as he saw the life lantern of Zayn come up, shining brightly.

"Is he alive?" King Yohan asked hopefully.

"Well...." The royal physician's word was cut short as they all heard a tiny voice talk.

" Dad!Mom!" Zayn uttered weakly.

"Zayn!!" Both Tiffany and Yohan said together as they rushed to hold his hands feeling grateful.

Just then the royal physician called the king and queen outside the room.

"Look here," the physician said. Yohan and Tiffany looked at the crystal ball and they saw Beatrice with a baby girl.

"What's this?" Queen Tiffany asked, confused.

"This baby here is the reason why Zayn is alive now," the physician said. "According to the crystal ball, Zayn's life is linked with a natural human girl, as long as the girl is safe, Zayn stays alive otherwise.... He dies" the physician said

"What??" Queen Tiffany and King Yohan exclaimed in shock.
