Zira looks down at her youngest cub smiling, and strokes it's fur, "Don't be worried Kovu you'll rule over these lands one day, Scar said for it to be so it will be." She thinks as she glances up at the royal family who for some reason are laughing and joking with each other, "What is going on over there?" She asks herself as she gets up cautious not to hurt her favorite cub while she does, but as she does she sees a cub being held by the queen, and gasps, "No that can't be, Simba has a cub!" She thinks.

Nala turns her head and smiles as she sees what at the time she thinks is Zira admiring her new cub, "She's beautiful isn't she?" She asks still smiling at Zira who gives a fake smile back.

"Yes of course, she looks just like her mother." She says still smiling, "What's her name?"

"Her name is Kiara, and she'll be the best queen the Pride Lands have seen." She says as she looks back down at her cub, "I can tell already."

"Of course." Says Zira as she gives a little bow, but Simba sees something that Nala doesn't when the lioness walks away. Jealously, which he quickly brings to Nala's attention.

"Whatever you do never take your eyes of Kiara when Zira's near." He whispers into his mates ear, but Nala just looks up at Simba confused.

"What do you mean Simba?" She asks concerned.

"Zira, she's jealous so you can't trust her at alll." He says, and Nala looks over at the other lioness, "You see that cub she's holding between her paws?"

"Yeah why? What about him?" She asks looking back up at Simba with worry in her eyes.

"That's her son, and just look at him he looks just like Scar doesn't he? What do you think that means?" He asks and Nala gasps as she looks back at the cub, "He has to be his son."

"But Scar had no mate, because he only wanted either your mom or me as his mate, but we rejected him." She says shaking her head, "So there's no way he can be his son."

"That doesn't mean that he didn't have a cub." He says looking down at his mate, "After all he probably wanted a heir, and even if he didn't have a cub himself, he'd of appointed one to be the future king."

"Yeah he would've, and now that you mention it, I remember that he did." She says as she remembers overhearing a conversation that he was having with one of the lionesses.

"Do you by any chance know the name of that cub?" He says slightly worried.

"No I didn't get it, but I can tell you that Zira's cub is not the 'king' that Scar appointed." She says nuzzling her mate, "Trust me."

Later that night...

Zira looks at her youngest cub with anger not at him but at Simba and Nala, because she knew they would never let Kovu be king sense they had a cub of their own now, "They'll pay for this, for they have doomed the Pride Lands by taking away the right of it's true king with their own cub. And now it has to pay for their sins with it's very own blood." She thinks, at least that's what she thought but she didn't know that she said that out loud. But that's not the thing that doomed her, it was that Zazu was standing in the entrance and heard every word of it.

"This is not good at all, I have to tell the king for his cub could be in trouble." He mumbles as he flies off.

"Mother!" Yells a bigger cub walking towards Zira.

"What do you want Nuka?!" Asks Zira angered.

"Vitani hit me." He complains.

"I bet you hit her first but she just hit harder." She says as she looks back at Koda.

"Well yeah I did." He says laughing.

Pride Rock...

Zazu arrives to tell Simba the news about Zira and the cub, "Your majesty! Your majesty!" Yells the hornbill as he lands in the entrance of Pride Rock waking the sleeping lion up.

"What is it Zazu?" Asks Simba rubbing his eyes and yawning.

"It's about Zira and her cub." He says getting the attention of the king.

"Well tell me." He says fully awake now knowing that only bad news comes from Zira even if she acts like a loyal subject.

"That cub of hers is the 'king' that was appointed by Scar, and she feels like the birth of your cub will make it so he never becomes king." He says then he gulps, "and she said that the cub would have to pay for your 'sins' with it's blood."

"Are you sure that's actually what she said?" Asks Simba knowing if this is true the penalty would be severe and if it were false then they would be punishing a lioness for something she didn't even do.

"I'm one-hundred percent sure that's what she said." He says, and Simba's eyes go wide then he starts growling.

"Lionesses!" He yells getting the attention of his pride, "Come with me we have to deal with a traitor." He growls then he turns towards Nala, "Nala look after Kiara, we'll be right back."

Simba and his lionesses walk out of their den, and towards the den of Zira ready to fight if needed.

"King you do know the penalty of treason right?" Asks a lioness named Wivu.

"I know the penalty." He says, "She can chose between exile or death."

Zira's den...

"Mother!" Yells Nuka running back into the den.

"What is it Nuka?" Asks Zira calmly, "Did Vitani hit you again?"

"No." He says, "It's Simba and the pride."

"What about them?" She asks.

"They're coming this way." He says and Zira jumps up.

"What for?"

"Maybe because Zazu heard what you said about their cub, and how'll she'll pay for their sins." He says, and Zira's eyes go wide.

"Oh no." She says just as Simba and the lionesses run into her den.

"Zira!" Growls Simba angry, and Zira calmly walks towards him.

"Yes my king?" She asks.

"I reason to believe you've betrayed me." He says and Zira gulps, "Is that true?"

"Well you see..."

"IS IT TRUE?!" He asks and Zira looks down.

"Yes my king it is true." She says still looking down.

"You know what the options are don't you?"

"Yes."

"Then chose one, exile or death."

And as you know she must've of chose exile because she clearly didn't die.
