Author's Note:Gary2000 and Asaf, I agree. It was sad but like I said, Kovu will get his.

Kiara and Simba slumped down on the royal platform with a tired sigh.

"Kiara, Simba we need to talk."

The king and queen groaned and said, "Can't it wait?"

Tama shook her head and said, "I'll make it quick."

Kiara and Simba nodded as they sat up.

"I decided on who of my sons should be bethroled."

Kiara seemed to felt dead wight fall on her. Solange. She and Simba been so busy that they have been negecting their princess. What horrible parents they were.

Kiara took a deep breath and said, "Who did you choose, Tam?"

Simba looked at his mate. Wasn't she just tired just a moment ago.

"I came to realized that the oldest cub is tilted to be bethroled to the chosen heir."

Kiara nodded and said, "So its settled Abasi will be Solange's mate."

-O-

A few days past and things have been returning to normal, kinda. As Simba is still busy with the neighboring kingdoms and the animals. Kiara took a break and decided its time to teach Solange the ways of a great queen and some fighting skills.

-O-

Way deep in Outlands where Kambili and Nuka sparring with some hyenas. But these hyenas are not like the ones that followed Scar and his grandfather, Kambili. These are larger and stronger. As the other one could take out lions as a pack. But these large fleabags could take out a lion by its self.

"Great work guys!" praised a teenage Nuka with a growing black mane.

Kambili nodded his head and said, "If our dad fails. You will come in as back up."

A large hyena with red eyes bowed and said, "As I and Sika are honored. We won't have the reinforcements you want for quite a while."

Another large hyena with black eyes nodded and said, "Others like us is all over."

"But you can mostly fine the amount you need in the Dark Lands." explained the first hyena.

"Where's that?" Kambili asked.

"Its on the south side of the Marsh Lands." replied Sika.

Nuka looked at his brother and said, "I'll go and while I'm out in the Marsh I can recrout some lionesses."

Kambili nodded and said, "Okay and be careful brother."

Nuka ran off without another word.

-O-

Months has past since Solange began her first queen and fighting lessons. Now a teenage Solange is preparing for her first hunt.

"Nervous?"

Solange nodded and said, "Javier, you're lucky you're not a lioness."

Javier chuckled and said, "I agree with you."

Javier has a ginger brown mane growing and musclues showing through his fur. He was a handsome sight, and Solange knew this.

"Well isn't it the beauty and the loser!"

Javier groaned as Solange looked up and saw a teenage Abasi. Abasi was lanky, but had some muscles. He had a growing light brown mane.

"What do you want?" Javier grolwed softly.

Abasi chuckled and said, "Just came to tell you what I heard."

Javier sighed and said, "So, what it has to do with me?"

Abasi smirked and said, "Oh it has everything to do with you."

Solange rolled her eyes and shouted,"Spit it out!"

Abasi gave the princess a flirty smiled and said,"You and me are going to be the next rulers."

"What!" Javier and Solange roared.

-O-

Kiara and Tama were taking a walk when Solange came running over.

"Mother, you can't be serious!?"

Kiara looked at her daughter and said, "Nice to see you too."

"I will not marry Abasi!"

"Dear its not the right time to talk about this." Kiara said with a stern tone.

"When is it ever the right time? You always busy that you don't have time for me!"

"Sweetie, calm down." Tama tried to reason with her great neice.

Solange shook her head and ran off, not looking back.

-O-

"Way to go, butthead!" snarled Javier before running off.

Abasi smiled to himself before heading back home.

-O-

A loud fustrated roar echoed through the Outlands. Kovu paced angerly, his patince where runing slim. He looked all over and couldn't find the amount of help he needs. And he wants to strike now, before his cousin and her patheic mate have another male heir. In his eyes thrones are met to be for males not useless females. All they're good for is mating and hunting, mostly mating.

"In do time, son. The throne will be yours." Zira said walking up to the almond brown lion.

Kovu growled, "Time is wasting, the wrench of a queen could be pregant!"

Zira smiled, "Your father had time on his side and he coame out on top. You know his mistakes, so now there's nothing that can stop you."
