Zenith was supposed to be dead, but he wasn't. The divine power protected him and he woke up with vague memories of what had happened in his first life.
All the memories of his previous life did not return at the same time, though. The memories came piece by piece as the time went by.
It felt like a bad dream that would wake you up in the middle of the night, but actually when you opened your eyes, you would forget about it.
Zenith decided not to take Alpha Tony to the capital city for losing a thousand of his warriors, but instead he asked for his daughter.
At that time, he didn't know why he had this strong urge to have that teenage girl, which was not appropriate.
Obviously, it was not lust. He would smash his head for lusting after a fifteen year old girl, but he had this strong feeling for her… not desire, but sadness…
Only at that point of time, he didn't know why.
