The following day, Andy and Russell were both enjoying their day having fun with the other leopards, and they even met and made best friends with Azaad's little son, whose name was Feliks, a young male leopard cub who is just around the same age as Andy, and because of him being Azaad's son, Feliks, therefore is the chosen heir who will succeed his father Azaad as the future king of the grassy savannah plains, but his time to become the new king of his homeland is still very far away and ahead of him, and so because of his very young age, Feliks is being called the future prince by all the other leopards who will one day succeed in Azaad's reign, but that will happen only after Azaad will die in the far future, and not to mention that Askari (who is Feliks' grandfather) is still the current king because the elderly male leopard is still alive, but because of his old age, Askari is too old to move and he can't even leave his underground layer, which means that after his death, Azaad will become the new king, and this will make Feliks very happy for him, because he knows that one day, he (Feliks himself) will become a king too after his father Azaad passes away in the far future, and that right now, Feliks is enjoying having his good father around to take care of him and have lots of fun with him and with all the other leopards in his leap.
However, out of all the leopards in Azaad's leap, only one leopard didn't liked Feliks and was in fact really jealous of him, and that is none other than Chuluun herself (who is coincidentally Feliks' aunt, due to herself being Azaad's sister), and she even said before Andy and Russell arrived in the leopard leap's homeland that she herself was the next queen in line until Feliks was born, and that ever since he was born, Chuluun was jealous of her own nephew and she even thought of a few plans to wipe both Feliks and Azaad out so she can become the new queen of their and their whole leap's homeland instead, and now that Andy and Russell are new inhabitants of the leopard leap's homeland, as well as the leap's two newest honorary members (with Andy being the first one who is obviously not a leopard himself), Chuluun is now planning to wipe out both of them and Feliks all together so she can become the new ruler of the African grassy savannah plains instead, with the help of the Hyenataurs clan, whom she made a deal with when she arrived in the Great Animal Graveyard (just yesterday).
Today, Russell and Andy were both enjoying their new lives together in Azaad's homeland, and they also started getting used to all the other leopards, and especially to none other than the young future prince himself - Feliks, who appeared to be happy to make friends with both Andy and Russell, which is something that is very unlikely for leopard cubs to do back on planet earth, because back there, leopard cubs are often being hunted and killed by adult males from their own kind, and the very good reason to this it's because an adult male leopard knows which cubs are his own and which are not, and so if a leap of leopards is led by an adult male (or even two which are likely brothers) and then a stranger (another male (or even two) from the same species) comes to his (or their) territory, challenges him (or them) and ends up chasing him (or them) away, the stranger male (or two) who came out victorious will kill any cubs who are the offspring of the previous adult male (or two) before mating with the females to better ensure that they become pregnant and later on will give birth to his (or their) own offspring instead.
Luckily for Feliks, however, Russell has no intentions to even mean any harm to the young male leopard cub, and one of the few reasons to this it's because Russell is not only a rare leopard by appearance, but also by his very unique personality to spare the lives of cubs from his own species which he knows are not even his own, for he has no heart to do the same cruel and heartless things as most other male leopards who live back on planet Earth do, and since Russell is now friends with Azaad, this is another good reason which tells why Russell wouldn't mean Feliks any harm and wouldn't even let other animals from other species mean him any harm either, and Feliks started enjoying having Russell around and have fun with him and within a few short hours, he even started to treated the older red male leopard like his own uncle and not just like his new friend, and all the other leopards in the leap felt happy for both their future prince and for Russell, as now Russell is showing quick signs of taking the spot and role of an uncle figure for Feliks, and in doing so, Russell is also allowing Feliks to spend more time with him and also with Andy while his father Azaad is away to do his royal duties and do both his hunting and patrolling with some of the leap while the others stay at home to tend to the cubs, and while Chuluun rejected the role of taking care of Feliks while Azaad is away, Russell saw this as his opportunity to make himself useful enough to help the leap by seizing and taking the role of tending to and taking care of Feliks so the young male leopard cub won't be feeling any neglect from his ignoring and uncaring aunt who was always and still is jealous of him and wants to get rid of Russell, Andy and him so she can become the future queen of the grassy savannah plains without having any of the three interfering with her plans.
Later, during the afternoon, when Azaad is away and is on his daily patrol, Feliks went to see how Chuluun is doing and so he went looking for her and after a few minutes of searching for his aunt whom he also loved for the most (completely unaware of the fact that unlike both his father Azaad and his new uncle Russell, Chuluun actually hates him and is jealous of him for the most), Feliks was able to find her lying down on a rock and so he quickly ran towards her and called for her, causing Chuluun to turn to see him coming towards her, and so she stood up on her feet and then she climbed down from the rock which she lied down on just a short moment ago and then she turned around and slowly started walking away, not even minding that her nephew is coming towards her as she did her best to try and ignore him, growling to herself due to herself being jealous at the young male cub for him going to become the new king after Azaad in the far future.
"Hey Auntie Chuluun, guess what!" Feliks asked his aunt, and when she heard what he said, the adult leopardess slowly turned her head back to look at him for a moment and then she said to Feliks in a low and grumpy tone with a scowl can be seen on her face "I despise guessing games.", and when Feliks caught up with Chuluun, he said to her "I'm going to be the future king of our beautiful homeland after my Daddy!", but then Chuluun said back "Oh goodee.", and then Feliks said to her while not even realizing she's jealous of him and that she has intentions to get rid of Russell, Andy and him "After Mommy died, Daddy showed me the whole kingdom so to cheer me up and show me that I will make her proud by becoming the future king of Daddy's homeland, and someday, I'm going to rule it all. Heh heh." he laughed as Chuluun started walking away from him and she tried to mind her own business instead.
"Yes. Well...forgive me for not leaping for joy...bad back, you know." Chuluun said as she sat down on her butt, before she then fell down and collapsed on her side on purpose while turning her back on Feliks, who then quickly approached to her side and asked her as he then placed his forepaws on the side of her back "Hey, Auntie Chuluun? When I'm king, what will that make you?", and then Chuluun said back without turning her head "A baboon's auntie.", and when he heard what she said, Feliks laughed and said to his aunt "Heh heh. You're so weird.", and when she heard what he said, Chuluun turned her head to look at him for a moment and said "You have no idea.", before she then stood back up again and asked him as she then turned and walked away from him "So, your father showed you the whole kingdom, did he?", and then Feliks went up to her and said "Everything.", but then Chuluun pointed out and said to him "Well, he didn't show you what's beyond that rise at the northwestern border...?", and when he heard what she said, Feliks said back "Well, no...he said I can't go there.", and then Chuluun said to him "And he's absolutely right!" and then she added "It's far too dangerous. Only the bravest leopards go there.".
However, Feliks looked up at his aunt and said to her and asked "Well, I'm brave! What's out there?", but then Chuluun said back to him "No, I'm sorry, Feliks. I just can tell you.", but then Feliks asked her "Why not?", and then Chuluun said back "Feliks, Feliks. I'm only looking out for the well-being of my favorite nephew.", before she then reached out her foreleg and then she stroked at the top of her little nephew's head with her forepaw, thus making Feliks say back into agreement "Yeah, right. I'm your only nephew.", and then Chuluun said to him "All the more reason for me to be protective...the Great Animal Graveyard is no place for a young prince...", but then she quickly said "Oops! My mistake!", but when Feliks heard what she said about the Great Animal Graveyard, he asked "the Great Animal what? Whoa!", but then Chuluun said to herself as she placed a forepaw on her own face, left eye and forehead "Oh dear, I've said too much...", and then she said to Feliks "Well, I suppose you'd have found out sooner or later, you being so clever and all...", but just as Feliks was about to go all by himself, Chuluun pulled him back to herself and said to him "Oh, and just do me one favor...", and then she said in a somewhat mocking tone while pretending to show him some love and make him think that she cares and worries about his safety "Promise me you'll never visit that dreadful place.", and when he heard what his aunt said to him, Feliks said "No problem.".
Then, Chuluun let go of Feliks and then she said to him "Well, there's a good lad." before she then added as she gently pushed him away to make him start running "You run along now and have fun.", but just before he's about to start his journey to the Great Animal Graveyard all by himself, Chuluun said to Feliks "And remember...it's our little secret.", and with these words being said, Feliks started running away towards the rise at the northwestern border (since the Great Animal Graveyard is located beyond and behind it), and when she saw and watched her nephew going there all by himself, she said evilly to herself "Perfect, the first step is going exactly as I planned! When I get to have a talk with Russell and with his little centaur friend, I'm going to ask and make them go after that little morsel of a nephew of mine so all three will get killed all together by the Hyenataurs and everything will go exactly as I planned! Soon I will be the grassy savannah plains' new queen!", and then she started laughing evilly before she then turned around and left to find Russell and Andy in order to make the other part of her plan to get rid of both of them alongside her own nephew become a huge success.
