"What, that my life changed for the better?" Kovu snapped, despising everything about this person interrogating him. How was any of this his business, anyway? It wasn't as if he had been affiliated with either side... "Kiara showed me that I didn't have to live my life filled with darkness and rage. She showed me what it means to have friends... What it means to be LOVED! Are you so stupid that you think I'd actually REGRET not killing Simba?"
He shifted his weight slightly, the chains clinking at the movements. "I don't regret that I failed my mother's expectations, if that's what you're getting at. She wanted me to be something vile and twisted - the heir of Scar. Maybe I could have done it, and been a more powerful and feared king than Scar ever was. But I didn't, and I can't say I'm sad to have missed the opportunity, because it means NOTHING to me now!"
This, at least, was one thing Kovu was certain of. He didn't want Simba's kingdom - not anymore. He didn't want power...
What he really wanted, especially at the moment, was the chance to run side by side with Kiara through the open fields again... To lay down beside her and look up at the stars in the sky, finding familiar images in the constellations. She was the one thing he wanted most of all, and he knew he wasn't going to get her by use of any darkness still lurking deep in his heart.
