The small gathering immediately arrived at Pride Rock and quickly hid themselves at the sight of several hyenas lounging around with starved expressions.

"Hyenas. I hate hyenas." Simba said to the group as his eyes scanned the area. Timon then whispered in his ear,

"So what's your plan for getting past those guys?"

"Live bait." Simba stated simply.

"Good idea." Timon replied before he realized what he meant. "Heeey!"

"Come on, Timon, you guys have to create a diversion." He protested.

"What do you want me to do? Dress in drag and do the hula?" Timon asked with an incredulous expression and tone.

"Come on, Timon. Without you two, this plan is destined to fail. You're smart; we know you can do this." Kali said with a convincing tone.

"All right, we'll do it. Come on, Pumbaa." Timon said. He left and then quickly returned wearing a makeshift hula outfit and Pumbaa covered in green leaves and with a red stone in his mouth. They moved in front of the hyenas and began their distraction.

"Luau!" Timon shouted and got the starving hyenas attention and then started singing.

"If you're hungry for a hunk of fat juicy meat

Eat my buddy Pumbaa here because he is a treat

Come on down and dine

On this tasty swine

All you have to do is get in line."

Halfway through the song, the hyenas are looking at them with greater hunger in their eyes.

"Aaaare you achin'."

"Yup, yup, yup." Pumbaa finally sang.

"Foooor some bacon?"

"Yup, yup, yup."

"Heeee's a big pig."

"Yup, yup."

"You could be a big pig too.

Oy!"

They then run off screaming, leading a charge of starving dogs behind them. The gang of big cats sneaks past the remaining guards.

"You four find our mothers and rally the lionesses. We'll look for Scar and Zira." He said with determination.

As Simba and Kali are making their way up Pride Rock, they hear Scar calling their mother. They both instantly freeze where they are and begin to watch the scene unfold. Their mother, Sarabi, ascends Pride Rock, while parting a crowd of angry hyenas that repeatedly snap at her heels. The ex-queen only glares disdainfully, not wanting to give them the sati-fashion of intimidating her. Simba leans his head against a rock, as his heart begins to break, realizing what he put her though. He did not save her from pain, but caused it.

"Yes, Scar?" She asks emotionless, but with her head held high.

"Where is your hunting party? They're not doing their job." He asks frustrated at the lack of results, as he paced back and forth in front of her.

"Scar, there is no food. The herds have moved on." She replies in a calm tone, but keeps her head held high to avoid eye contact.

"No. You're just not looking hard enough!" He said, with obvious denial to the dire condition of his land. Zira then stepped out of the den, and was far too happy to join in the interrogation.

"It is her incompetence as a hunter, which is the problem. There is plenty of food; she just lacks the skill to effectively bring it home." Sarabi side glances at the birth marked lioness, but as always, still remains calm.

"It's over. There is nothing left. We have only one choice. We must leave Pride Rock." She replied firmly.

"We're not going anywhere." Scar said sternly with Zira nodding in agreement. The old queen's eyes widen in awe at how those two could be so incompetent.

"Then you have sentenced us to death." She roared furiously. She had promised herself, that she would stay strong for the pride, and not let him get to her, but after having another collapse this morning from dehydration, she hit her breaking point.

"Then so be it." Scar replies arrogantly and Sarabi is disgusted with his lack of concern.

"You can't do that!" Her mind was made up, if Scar was not going to do anything, she would. She was going to lead the pride to the Outlands. The girls knew to meet up with them there if they could not find help, but first, she was going to give him a peace of her mind.

"He is the king. He can do whatever he wants." Zira added, defending her mate.

"If he was half the king Mufasa was, he would nev-" She was cut off by Scar, who back handed her, and sent her body flying across Pride Rock. As her skull hit the rocky surface, it instantly knocks her out cold.

"I'm ten times the king Mufasa was!" Simba, who was standing on top of the ledge, comes out of hiding, growling loudly. As a flash of lightning reveals him, he runs to his mother's side. Scar looks up and becomes understandably frightened. Kali all the while remains hidden until he is needed.

"Mufasa? No. You're dead." He says with disbelief and is clearly petrified.

Meanwhile, Simba nudges Sarabi gently in an attempt to wake her up and shoots a glare at his uncle. Sarabi slowly awakens at her son's nudge, but mistakes who he is as well.

"Mufasa?" She asks her son, obviously in a daze. He looks down at her in sorrow, but answers,

"No. It's me." Her eyes went wide with revelation and delight.

"Simba? You're alive?" She asked and then got a confused look on her face, "How can that be?"

"It doesn't matter," He bends down closer to her, "I'm home." He finishes as he nuzzles her affectionately.

"Simba...?" Scar says in a confused tone, but then regains his composure. "Simba! I'm a little surprised to see you, alive..." As he said the last word, he looked to Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed who gulped audibly and slinked back into the shadows.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't rip you apart." Simba growls to his uncle with a cold tone, as he corners his uncle against the outer wall of the den.

"Oh, Simba, you must understand. The pressures of ruling a kingdom..." He states, trying to use mind games to get out of the situation, but his nephew cuts him off by saying.

"...Are no longer yours. Step down, Scar." He states simply, but his scarlet eyes are saying much more.

"Oh, oh, ye - Well, I would, heh, naturally, heh - however, there is one little problem. You see them?" He says and points a black claw to the horde of hyenas on the rocks above them, "They think I'M king." He said with pride. Zira, who was watching this merely showed a hint of anxiety, seeing that Simba had taken after his farther in brute of strength.

"Well, we don't." The golden lion and his brown colored uncle both look for the source of the noise, "Simba is the rightful king." Nala says with Usafi and the Pride in tow. Mufasa's son turned back towards his uncle with an extra burst of confidence.

"The choice is yours, Scar. Either step down or fight."

"Oh, must it all end in violence? I'd hate to be responsible for the death of a family member. Wouldn't you agree, Simba?" Scar said with an accusatory tone as he began to circle his nephew, like vultures waiting to get their talons into a freshly dead carcass.

"That's not goanna work, Scar. I've put it behind me." Simba replied and his body remained steady, trying to evoke the appearance of confidence, but eyes shown a completely different story. Kali knew that Scar was pressuring Simba with his guilt over their father's death, but still waited till he needed to appear. Something started to gnaw at Kali's mind like a hungry hyena as he listened to Scar. He could hear in his uncle's snakelike voice, that he knew more than what he was alluding to.

"But, what about your faithful subjects? Have they put it behind them?" Scar said and looked to the gathered pride, which looked at Simba in confusion.

"Simba, what is he talking about?" Nala asked concerned as her aqua eyes poured into his. It was clear by the look on her face that she, as well as the rest of the pride, was trying to connect the puzzle pieces.

"Ahh, so you haven't told them your little secret. Well, Simba, now's your chance to tell them. Tell them who is responsible for Mufasa's death!" Scar demanded. All the while, Zira maintained a wicked smile on her face as her king cornered the confused prince.

"I am." Simba said ashamed, and lowered his head, so that his scarlet mane covered his eyes. Sarabi was shocked at what she had heard and desperately pleaded as she walked up to her son.

"It's not true. Tell me it's not true."

"It's true."

"You see! He admits it! Murderer!" Scar roared viciously and lightening eliminated across the sky.

"No. It was an accident." Simba raised his head as he pleaded.

"If it weren't for you, Mufasa would still be alive. It's your fault he's dead. Do you deny it?" Scar asked, as a smirk formed across his face.

"No." Simba said as he accepted his crime.

"Then... you're... guilty." Scar said as the Pride watched in silence.

"No. I'm not a murderer." Simba pleaded desperately.

"Oh, Simba, you're in trouble again, but this time, Daddy isn't here to save you. And now EVERYONE… KNOWS... WHY!" Scar stated while he and his horde of hyenas began to inch Simba closer and closer to the edge of Pride Rock. Kali knew his time was now and thus took in a deep breath and roared with all his might. As he roared, lightning struck down from the heavens and revealed a silver lion with a flowing white mane.

"SCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!" He yelled, demanding his attention, and leaped down. He placed himself between his brother, Scar and his horde of hyenas. Scar looked confused at the new lion that had appeared and was irritated by this distraction.

"Who are you?" He asked with disgust.

"I think you should ask Zira that." Kali said with venom in his tone. All eyes went immediately to Zira, who had gained a shocked expression on her face.

"Who are you?"

"Surely you of all those gathered should be able to recognize him, Zira." Usafi said as she stepped forward and joined Kali's side. "After all, you were the only one in the pride who truly wanted him dead." Sarabi's face now changed from a confused state to that of realization as she stepped towards the silver stranger.

"Kali?" she asked in a hopeful tone.

"Hi, Mom." Kali replied with a smile on his face. Sarabi immediately embraced her other son. Tears of joy flowed down her face like a trickling stream. She looked at her son in awe of the lion he had become.

"KALI! No, it cannot be. You are dead." Zira said in an almost cub like tone. Her fears soon became evident in her trembling body.

"Kali? How can this be? Where have you been?" Scar asked his nephew in an almost gleeful tone.

"Why don't you ask Zira? After all, it was her idea to kill me, so that whatever cub she had would be your heir." Kali replied with an angry snarl at his uncle.

"It is true!" Said a mysterious voice. All looked to the source, of the sound. Eventually Kali's eyes landed on Kuchin, whom possessed a guilty look on her face.

"Kuchin? What are you doing here?" Kali asked with a shocked tone. Zira's face was now contorted from this unpredictable circumstance. Kuchin only glared at Zira, as she began to speak.

"I am here to redeem myself." She walked past Zira, until she was only a stride away from the lion with a mane, as black as the night sky.

"Zira told my sisters and me a lie about how your nephew killed our brother and abused our niece and nephew, who are members of this pride. I realized after our little reunion that he cared deeply for them and was deceived by your queen." She said glaring at Zira, only to now turn her attention to the lion in front of her.

"The day that you planned-" That moment, with cheetah like speed, Scar and Zira pounced on Kuchin. Zira bared her fangs and dug them into Kuchin's throat, while scar delivered a bone shattering blow to her head. Kali saw her eyes, which immediately lost its shimmer, which only living things possess. He watched her fall to the ground at the same time as her blood from Scar's claws and Zira's fangs dripped onto the ground.

The faint sound of Scar whisper to the lifeless body,

"Couldn't have you blow it" was detected by the silver prince. Scar then growled in Zira's ear and stated coldly "I'll deal with you later."

Everyone who saw this surprising and gruesome act became filled shock at the immediacy of how it all happened. Only Kali remained with a blank expression.

He was deep in thought at what Kuchin had just said. Her last words were that on the same day she was ordered to kill Kali, Scar had been planning something. He saw how his uncle was breathing heavily from the rush and the fear that was slowly leaving his eyes as Kuchin's blood continued to pool. Why would Uncle Scar be afraid? He wondered.

He then remembered how Hasani and Hiassen seemed to know what had happened to him and his brother. Kali suddenly realized the only way Hasani could have known about what happened to Simba was the same reason how Hiassen knew what happened to Kali. Someone had told them about it.

He began fitting the pieces together and realized the whole story. Scar and Zira had been planning to kill Mufasa and his sons, so they could be king and queen. Scar, however, had only planned on killing Simba and Mufasa, while leaving Kali alive and filled with grief and depression. Kali could see this in his Uncle's expression which seemed to have shown relief when the silver lion revealed himself. He deduced that Scar intended to treat Kali as his own son and train him to be the king after him. Zira from her shocked expression earlier had other plans though. She thought Kali would be too strong to be broken and thus planned her own assassination attempt on Kali behind Scar's back. Hiassen and Hasani were in on it as long as they got to be with Nala and Usafi once Kali and Simba were out of the picture.

Kali, now realizing the full truth, looked to his brother and shot him a look that told him 'follow my lead'. He then walked up to Scar and Zira and then merely smiled at his uncle. His uncle, who believed Kali was siding with him, merely smiled and then turned his back to once again confront Simba.

"Now then Simba. Where was I?" Scar asked with a renewed menacing tone.

Then, Kali pounced on him and held him down firmly.

"SCAR!" Zira screamed, as she leapt to attack Kali, but was quickly pinned down by Usafi and Simba rushed in and held his paw under her chin while Usafi held down Zira's paws. All the while, Usafi continued to glare at Zira.

"After all that I have done for you. After all the years of treating you like my daughter, you turn your back on me and betray me like this." Zira roared at Usafi who merely spat at Zira and said,

"Daughter? Ha! I was never a daughter to you. I was merely a pawn in your plans and nothing more. That is all I have been to you since the day you killed my mother." Zira's eyes widened as another of her secrets were blown. "Kali saw this."

"Surprised that she knows, Zira?" Zira looked at Kali and snarled.

"And what lie did you feed her to make her think I killed her mother?"

"No lies. Only the truth that came from her father Chaka who mentioned you killing Msala the same day we found Usafi"

"Chaka? Please! He has been dead for years! You are lying!"

"Wrong again, Zira. I can describe him if I must. He is a tan lion with a brown mane and sapphire blue eyes."

"Chaka is alive?" asked Sarabi as she looked at the group in front of her.

"Sadly, he isn't, Mom. He protected me for all these years and died at the fangs of the same three cheetahs which Zira sent to kill me.

"You should be ashamed of yourself, Zira. You would kill a cub's mother and pretend to care for her, all to achieve your own goals. That is just sick." Scar said while still being pinned. Kali looked down at his Uncle's attempts to take blame off of him and said,

"You are no better than her, Murderer." Scar's eyes for the first time showed fear towards Kali as he saw his favorite nephew look at him with vengeance in his eyes.

"What are you talking about, Kali?" His brother asked with confusion in his eyes. Kali looked behind and saw that the pride was also curious as to what was about to be said.

"Tell them the Truth!" He said to his uncle.

"The truth? The truth is in the eye of the behold… "Before he could finish, Kali pressed his paw into Scar's throat.

"Alright, ALRIGHT." Scar said with a struggle before whispering, "I did it."

"So they can hear you." Kali said with much more emphasis and he got closer in his uncle's face to which decided that he couldn't back out of the truth now and got bold and declared,

"I KILLED MUFASA!"

At the moment of his announcement, the whole pride's expressions began changing into those of intense rage. At the same time, the hyena hordes moved and began attacking the Princes. Normally, Kali would have been prepared for this, but now he was completely outnumbered as they tackled him and surrounded Simba and Usafi as well.

Kali was lost in what appeared to be a sea of hyenas. He tried, to thrash them off, but was greatly outnumbered. Feeling as if a bolder had fallen on top of him, he gasped for air under their crushing weight. Although his mane protected his jugular with every paw swipe and bite attempt to kill him from Scars army of hyenas, it decreased. As a large hyena was about to make this his last breath, Kali saw Nala launch herself at the dog, simultaneously using her hind legs to free the golden prince.

"Stop laying on you asses boys. I did not travel though a desert twice for you two lay here and look pretty." Nala says sarcastically as she continues to swat away approaching hyenas

Kali chuckled as he spotted Scar and Zira attempt to sneak away. Zira was being held back by Kusudi and Ufisa, who clawed at her mercilessly, but were soon hidden by the army of hyenas. He looked up and saw Rafiki standing on the ledge above and crying a war cry while raising his staff above his head. He then jumped down and landed between six hyenas. He began hitting them with his staff and performing various martial art movements against the opposing hyenas. The next to last one lunged at him and he merely performed a roundhouse kick which hit the hyena in the face and sent him flying. He then struck a pose and said 'Roadhouse' before finally sucker punching the hyena that was approaching him from behind.

"At least he will be able to help the pride hold those filthy dogs off." He said as he turned his attention back to Usafi. He roared and then charged at the hyenas that held down his beloved. The hyenas saw the angry giant of a lion coming towards them and immediately abandoned the lioness they were pinning. But again, one got bold and still tried to kill his Usafi. He roared even louder and leaped at the creature. He easily shoved the hyena away and slashed its throat with his claws and it crumpled instantly. Seeing it was dead, he turned to check on his love. They nuzzled each other as they saw the other was alright. Kali had not received any injuries from his attack, but Usafi had received a few lacerations to her sides that were almost invisible because of her red fur.

"Are you alright?" Kali asked as he smelled the blood coming from her.

"I am fine, Kali. I thought I told you I can handle myself." She said with annoyance and a roll of her eyes.

"Well you were on the ground and you are bleeding so I wanted to see if you were ok." He said with a smirk that mirrored his brothers and then nuzzled her. Still annoyed, she happily returned the gesture. They were quickly interrupted by the blood curdling screech from a voice that made Kali's blood run cold. They looked to the source and what they saw almost broke Kali's spirit.

"NO! It can't be. Great Kings it can't be." Kali begged as he looked at the scene before him.

Fisa was crying as she just witnessed Zira murder her brother, Kusudi. Kali saw Kusudi's body, which was flawless except for the 4 large puncture wounds on his throat, which almost made him break down. Tears of loss began to flow from both his and Usafi's eyes.

At the same time as he saw Kusudi's body, several images filled his mind, 'he heard his father's roar as he fell from the edge after Scar's betrayal', he saw 'Msala's body after being killed by Zira' and finally 'he smelled the blood of Chaka, his brother who had died at the fangs of Kuchin'. Zira had once again taken something from both of them, only this time, like with Msala and Chaka, they would never be able to get it back. Kali's tears however quickly became hot with rage as he saw Zira preparing to lunge at Ufisa, his little sister.

"FISA!" He roared once again and lunged at Zira. She quickly swung her body and they met in midair and began to roll around viciously. Usafi moved to comfort Ufisa while Kali and Zira broke apart and then began to circle each other.

"I should never have used those cheetahs to kill you. They were too weak of spirit, hence how you could convince Kuchin to betray me. Well, this time I will kill you myself. Then, I will kill Ufisa and then finally I will kill your beloved Usafi." She said with a vicious tone.

Kali merely glared at her with his white eyes which had become as cold and hard as diamonds and replied.

"You will not touch them, ZIRA!" They then lunged for each other and began to battle ferociously. The battle was almost equal. Zira was driven by her rage towards Kali and was one of the most skilled huntresses in the pride. Those two things combined made her a formidable opponent. However, Kali had years of fighting experience, his hunting skills which he had honed from his days as a cub, his immense size, and his keen mind, all combined with his determination to protect his family made him more than Zira's equal. This was clearly reflected in their fight.

Zira circled him repeatedly all the while clawing at his legs so as to cripple him. Kali merely responded by sweeping his left forepaw under Zira's legs and caused her to lose her balance. She quickly regained her footing and made to pounce on Kali, but he responded by taking the attack head on, using his massive body to turn Zira's own attack against her. She fell back dizzy from colliding with Kali's heavily muscled body and Kali took advantage of this by rushing forward and biting into Zira's ear and then ripping his head back quickly. The sudden action resulted in Kali tearing away a piece of Zira's ear. This would forever leave a notch in Zira's ear. Her eyes looked to Kali with pain and rage and she once again lunged at him, but in her rage she had made a critical mistake. He reacted by catching her midair with his left forepaw and held her tightly in the air by her neck. She began struggling to get free, but was unable to overpower the lion.

"KILL HER, KALI! SHE DESERVES IT AFTER WHAT SHE DID TO KUSUDI." Ufisa said with great rage and sadness as she saw her brother holding Zira by the throat. He heard her pleas, raised his other forepaw and unsheathed his white claws. He was about to slice her throat open when he saw something that stopped him. Zira also noticed this and her eyes went wide with fear.

Scar had just fallen from the peak of Pride Rock and had landed at the very bottom of the great rock formation. At first, he thought his uncle had died from the fall, but was not surprised when he saw him stir and then raise his head. He then saw several hyenas beginning to surround his brown furred uncle. Scar at first looked happy to see the hyenas until he saw the hungry looks on their faces. His eyes went wide with fear and he began pleading with the hyenas for mercy, but his pleas went unheard and he was immediately attacked by all the hungry hyenas that began devouring him alive. Kali realized that his uncle must have blamed the hyenas for all the crimes he had committed when he was confronted by Simba. The hyenas did not like being double crossed and thus paid him back. Kali then looked back to Zira who was still in his grip. Her eyes had lost their rage and were now filled with sorrow and pain at seeing her mate devoured before her eyes. He released her and then looked down on her with concern and knowing and said.

"Scar died because he did not accept responsibility for his crimes and instead let his greed blind him and let himself betray his comrades and lost their trust. You have also paid for your crimes against me and this pride. I will let you live with the memory of seeing your beloved Scar killed." Her red eyes were shifty, but never left his, "Remember Zira: death consumes the hateful, the greedy, the traitors, the demons and the careless." He then turned back to his wife and embraced his sister so that he could comfort her for the loss of her brother. She cried fiercely into his mane and he too cried at the loss of Kusudi who he always treated like a little brother and knew that his spirit had joined his father's in the eternal kingdom of the Great Kings of the Past. Ufisa eventually stopped sobbing and they all felt something fall on each of their heads. It was rain.

Rain began to fall from the skies in vast amounts and Kali saw this as a sign that the Kings of the Past had accepted the events that had happened and that the dark days were finally over. He then saw his brother walking down from the peak and immediately rushed to embrace him. Both of them held onto each other so tightly that it seemed they would never separate, that is until Kali forced them to separate and sadly told Simba and the pride whom had just arrived to greet the returned Princes, a sad revelation.

"Kusudi didn't survive the fight." Kali said as he was consumed by the pain of loss again. Sarabi nuzzled him sympathetically while Sarafina went over to Usafi and tried to comfort her adopted daughter and Fisa. The young couples then greeted each other with a bitter sweet nuzzle. Simba then turned to Kali who looked at him with pity, "I am sorry about Kusudi, Kali."

"Thanks, but do not worry I know that our father is taking good care of him now that he has joined the great kings." Simba nodded and then changed the subject at hand.

"Speaking of kings, who gets the throne?"

"You should take it, Simba. After all, father confirmed my suspicions as a cub." Kali replied. Simba smiled, but replied by saying.

"Yes, but I ran away from my responsibilities. You ran away to protect our family." Kali rolled his eyes at this and simply said.

"Simba, you ran because of a crime that you did not commit. Besides, my reason was not completely selfless. I knowingly abandoned our pride and did not watch over it as you thought I would. The true reason I ran, was not the oath, but to escape. That's not how a king acts." He hoped his statement would cause his brother to accept the throne. But to his dismay, he was wrong.

"Kali, you are better in so many. I could never hope to measure up to you." Simba exclaimed. Kali was beginning to grow annoyed with his brother's arguing and said.

"Simba, 'A king is not what he is, but what he isn't'. Even if I have qualities you claim I have, you're destined for the job. You were always better at interpreting the needs of others and the kingdom," Kali paused and sighed "just like Dad. So suck it up and take the damn throne." The golden lion took in what his brother smirked and then said,

"Alright. I will be king, but my first official order as king is that you rule alongside me." Kali and the pride looked at Simba with disbelief and merely remained silent. Since he was the king, Simba had the right and the power to do so and Kali was trying to think of a way to weasel out of it when he recalled what he said to his brother when his father approached them about the throne when they were cubs. 'His destiny was to be by his brother's side and give him guidance that would make him the greatest king in the Pride Lands history'. He then remembered how in the oasis, his reflection had only shown half of him there and how it meant he was incomplete without Simba. Kali realize that what Simba was asking was perfectly logical and nodded to him in agreement. The two brothers then began walking towards the promontory until they came across Rafiki who had a big smile on his face.

"It is time." The grey mandrill said as the brothers stopped before him. Chancing at some payback, Kali smirked and asked,

"Time for what? For Simba to get hit with your stick again?" Kali said with a laugh. Never the less, his brother hugged the baboon, then turned to his brother,

"That was not funny, Kali." said Simba who made a pouty face while Kali smirked. Another second later, Kali felt a great pain on his head as Rafiki whacked him with the stick.

"What the heck was that for you crazy monkey?" Kali asked Rafiki while rubbing his tender head. Simba, all the while was laughing.

"That was for messing with your brother when you both should be up there." Rafiki said while pointing his staff towards the promontory.

"OK, Ok. We're going." Kali said with a growl and then began the ascent with his brother. As they reached the top, feeling the weight of the cold rain bearing down on them, the brothers looked up into the sky.

"You ready for this?" Simba asked as he looked at the sky.

"No, but then again, I don't have a choice do I?" Kali asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Nope. Not according to me." Simba said with a chuckle which caused Kali to roll his eyes.

Kali and Simba saw the skies part and reveal the night sky which once again reflected off of Kali's fur and made him seem like he was white instead of silver. He and Simba then heard their Father's voice in their heads saying 'Remember'. The brothers looked to each other and accepted their places as the new Kings of the Pride Lands. Simba started to roar, which was soon joined by Kali. The lionesses and Ufisa then roared to accept their new kings and the future that their rule would bring.

Author: So we are finally done with our story. Wrong. There is still one more chapter left to read.

Inafanya nini Mfalme?

Ujasiri au ukali?

Jibu ni kwamba mfalme lazima kuwa mkali na maamuzi yote lakini lazima pia kuonyesha ujasiri wakati kiburi anahisi hofu.
