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

"Kiara, Simba we need to talk."

The king and queen groaned before the tawny King looked at his aunt, "Can't it wait?"

Jaha 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 weight fall on her. Jata and Jesús. She and Simba has been so busy that they have been negecting their remaining children.

What horrible parents they were.

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

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 Jata's mate."

-O-

A few days passed and things have been returning to normal, kind of.

As King Simba is still busy with the neighboring kingdoms and the animals. Kiara took a break and decided it was time to teach Jata the ways of a great queen and some fighting skills.

-O-

Way deep in Outlands where Kambili and Chumvi were sparring with some hyenas.

But these hyenas are not like the ones that followed Scar and his grandfather, Kambili I. These are larger and stronger. As the other one could take out lions as a clan. But these large scavengers could take out a lion by it's self.

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

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

A large brown 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.

"It's on the south side of the Marsh Lands." replied Sika.

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

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

Chumvi ran off without another word.

-O-

Months has past since Jata began her first queen and fighting lessons. As Prince Jesús began Royal lessons of his own from Mufasa and occasionally his father.

Now a teenage Jata is preparing for her first hunt.

"Nervous?"

Jata nodded and said, "Dimitri, you're lucky you're not a lioness."

Dimitri chuckled as he shook out his mane, "I agree with you."

Dimitri has a dark brown mane growing and musclues showing through his fur. He was a handsome sight, and Jata knew this.

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

Dimitri groaned as Jata 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?" Dimitri grolwed softly.

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

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

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

Jata 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!" Jata and Dimitri roared.

-O-

Queen Jaha and Queen Kiara were taking a walk when Jata came running over.

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

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

"I will not marry Abasi!"

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

"When is it ever the right time? You and daddy are always busy that you two barely don't have time for me or Jesús!"

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

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

-O-

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

Abasi smiled to himself before heading back to priderock.

-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 meant to be for males not useless females. All they're good for is mating and hunting, mostly mating.

"In due time, my love. The throne will be yours." Zira said walking up to the brownish lion.

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

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