T'Kia POV

What did he mean by that...? I looked confused at him.

He sighed. "Its nothing that you should be worried about.", he said and walked out.

I looked up at Shuri and she smiled.

"You're going to go snooping, aren't you?", she asked.

I nodded smiling.

She sighed still smiling and tilted her head to my door and led me out.

In the hallways, I made sure that he wasn't where I couldn't see him or he couldn't see me.

"T'Kia!", I heard a voice and turned around to see my mother.

"Mother!", I ran to hug her as she hugged me back.

"Where's your father and what are you up to...?", she asks.

"I'm going to Aunt Shuri's lab again and he left somewhere.", I said and she frowned.

"Okay, I'll keep finding him.", she said and went about her way.

Now, time to snoop. I ran to his bedroom and found weird articles of paper on his desk.

'King T'Chaka Dead At The Scene Leaving Prince T'Challa and all of Wakanda In Shock'

I stared at these papers horribly and backed away from his desk.

He's dead...? No...that can't be...

Why wasn't I told about this...? Why wasn't I even told about his presence?!

I ran out the room in anger and sadness.

"Your Highness, what were you doing in there...?", Okoye calls to me and I stop.

She walks up to me and turns me around slowly only to see my tear-filled eyes. "What's the matter??", she asked.

"Why...?", I whispered. She looked at me confused.

"Why what?", she asks.

"Why wasn't I informed? Why didn't I get to know him...? Its not fair!", I exclaimed in sadness.

Shuri walks up to us as if on cue. "What's going on?", she asks.

"I don't know. She's upset all of a sudden. I saw her run out of T'Challa's room and-", Shuri gets the idea.

"Ohh.", she looks down at me. "Saw something you didn't like, didn't you...?", she asks and I nodded.

I didn't like it at all. "Did you know?", I asked quietly.

"Hm? Know what?", she asks.

I look up at her. "Grandfather's death. You knew, didn't you?", I asked.

Both of the women looked at each other in shock and sadness.

"That's what you saw...?", she asked.

I nodded. I honestly didn't care if I was going to be in trouble or not. I just wanted to know why I wasn't told about this.

Okoye sighed. "We never told you because... You never knew the King. He didn't know about you and didn't even have time to come home.", she explained.

I wasn't sure if I should've took it as a lie or the truth. I was just infuriated.

"Your father was against telling you. As he was busy as well.", Shuri says. "And though my brother may be stupid, I'd say that that was both a good and bad idea.", she says.

I looked at her with narrowed eyes.

"That isn't fair.", I opposed.

"It's not about being fair. Its about your safety.", she says.

I look down and think about what Baba said before.

Flashback-

'Its not that he's dangerous, its what led to the dangers of where he's from.'

Back-

I shook my head at the thought and frowned deeply. Both Okoye and Shuri led me to my room and set me down to rest.

"Curtains open or closed...?", Shuri asked.

"Closed, please.", I said.

She closed the curtains to reveal purple and white tiny stars around in my room making it look spacious in a galaxy wise. It helps me calm down and settle myself.

"Next time, you want to go snooping, bring me with you.", she says and leaves with Okoye still in my room.

"Its beautiful.", she says looking around.

I nodded though I doubt she could see me.

"I wished to be like Baba...strong, dependable, reliable...I'm not any of those things...", I whisper.

She made a disapproving noise. "That is not true. You are just as strong as your father and aunt was when they were your age.", she says.

I slightly smile and fall asleep.

Next day-

I wake up to see my father sleep in a chair and my curtains pulled back making my room engulfed in sunlight.

"Baba...", he woke up and looked at me with a small smile.

"You're awake.", he said and sat up.

"And in trouble, right?", I asked.

He sighed and closed his eyes. "You're not exactly in trouble...", he said. "Just a scolding...and an explanation.", he says.

I frown slightly.

"So, no more snooping in my room. As you saw, you found something you did not like.", he said and I nodded.

"As for your grandfather... I've stuck with him for a while. Just 5 years ago, I was informed that you were born. I didn't know your mother had you. She ran away with Shuri helping her with you, so I was busy with your grandfather.", he explained.

"So, you went outside of Wakanda and he died.", I say.

"He was killed. Purposely.", he says. "Someone had the intent of killing him. I didn't see who it was but I think I know who it was.", he says with a deadly expression.

I frowned. I know this will be a rash question...

"Baba... Will you take me outside of Wakanda...?", I asked.

He frowned and closed his eyes for a moment.

"Alright.", he said suddenly. "I'll take you. Only because you are going to find some way of going anyways.", he says smiling.

I hugged him and laughed. "Thank you."

I frowned mentally. The man who killed him and almost destroyed my family has only announced war.
