MainNovelNathalie didn't waste a second. She soared through the mountain gate, gliding down to earth as the evening
breeze caught her wings.
Before her stretched a quiet, winding mountain path, shaded by old trees, the road twisting up the hillside in a
way that tugged at her memory. Nathalie stared up at the familiar curves, feeling a strange, bittersweet
nostalgia.
Step by step, she made her way up, the silence broken only by her soft footsteps. Finally, she reached the
summit.
Night was falling, the sky painted with deep blue and fading gold. At the very top, someone was kneeling in front
of two simple graves, sobbing so hard his shoulders shook.
"My love, my daughter... why didn't you wait for me?" His voice cracked. "It was just one business trip with
Greta-—just a single day. How did everything fall apart in that one moment?"
Something about his back, the slump of his shoulders, struck Nathalie as familiar. She circled around, and when
she caught sight of his face, she froze.
Cameron. Who else could it be?
But she had never seen Cameron like this-completely shattered. His handseyes were swollen from crying,

bleeding from digging into the earth.
Nathalie's heart twisted with unexpected pity.
Then she noticed the names on the two plain headstones: Nellie and Nina. No titles, no explanations-just their
names.
Cameron was nearly collapsed over the graves, consumed by grief.
Suddenly, a cold shadow swept across him. Cameron turned, dazed. Behind him stood the Prince, dressed in an
expensive suit, every inch radiating power. His eyes, sharp as ice, bore down on Cameron.
Cameron's voice shook. "Your Highness? What are you doing here?"
The Prince carried a bouquet of sunflowers, their yellow petals bright against the gray dusk. He walked up to the
graves-and when he saw the gaping hole Cameron had dug, exposing the coffin, his face hardened with fury.
"Are you insane? Coffins are supposed to stay sealed! Do you want Nathalie's soul to be restless even in death?"
Without warning, he kicked Cameron square in the chest. Cameron, weak as a feather, was sent flying and
crashed to the ground, bloodb trickling from his nose and mouth.
Nathalie stared in shock. The gentle, polished young man she remembered-was
he truly this ruthless? No wonder people called him the Dark Prince.
"Nathan... I'm just mourning my wife and daughter. How does that concern you?" Cameron managed, coughing.
Nathan? Nathalie's eyes widened. So in this life, his nwas Nathan-and he was the Prince?
But if that's true, why did the Prince becCameron in another life? And why did Nathan change his nto

Nathalie's mind spun with questions.
Nathan's eyes burned with anger. He grabbed Cameron and slammed him to the ground again, pinning him
down with his shoe.
"Cameron, do you remember what | told you when you married Nell?"
Cameron blinked, lost for a moment-then realization dawned. "Wait... you were
