CandyLuv99, you pretty much summed it up.

Thanks for the reviews, here's the next chapter.

The sun had started to rise, the animals lifted their heads. The sound of a lion's roar caused the diurnal animals to start their journey through the lush green grass of the Pridelands as the nocturnal animals disappeared into their homes. Birds of different colours took to the sapphire sky. As the rest journeyed by groups or herds.

At the peak of priderock stood Simba, his golden fur glowed in the sunlight as his red mane tossed gently in the morning breeze. Besides him stood Usnavi. His dark brown mane blew in in the wind. A pair of water buffaloes parted and Rafiki passed through. He climbed up to the peak where him and the king embraced. Then the two lions lead the mandrill to a cave entrance where Kiara laid, on each side was Nadra and Anna looking on with proud smiles.

It's been months since the death anniversary of Simba's firstborn son. Since then Simba and Kiara became mates and Kiara was crowned queen of the Pridelands.

In the queen's paws were two newborn cubs. The oldest was a pale gold. The second was a creamy gold. The mandrill smiled before waving his staff over the princes before cracking a groud on his staff open. He used the insides and marked the princes before sprinkling dust on their heads. With a nod from the king the Rafiki picked up the princes and walked to the peak, where he thrusted the princes in the air. The animals cheered, the zebras and other herd animals stomped the ground. The elephants trumpeted, before they all bowed when the sun began to shine on the princes.

After the ceremony, Queen Kiara laid on the royal platform as the pride and her family congratulate her. Besides her was Nadra and Anna. Besides Anna was Kiara's tawny uncle, Usnavi. Usnavi and Anna smiled lovingly at their nephews a tawny gold cub and a older pale gold cub sat in front of Kiara's paws with interest in their youthful eyes.

"They are so small,"

Kiara laughed lightly before giving her nine month daughter a nuzzle. "So were you and Severus at one point, Furaha."

Usnavi rubbed his head against his great-neice before moving his brown eyes on to the new mother. "What are their names?"

Kiara shared a look with Simba before she turned her brown eyes to everyone waiting for a response. "The future king is Kopa after Simba's firstborn and the second born is Lin-Manuel after my grandfather."

Nadra scrunched up her nose. "Aren't you worried about another Scar repeat?"

Simba was in a trance, adoring his beautiful mate and wonderful sons when his aunt's question hit him. He suddenly remembered something his mother said after he returned and defeated his uncle. "Scar was the way he was because of great-grandfather playing favourites. Things will be different..." the golden king looked at his sons and silently thought,

I hope..

...

Stephen was confused. Did his father just asked him to seduce one of Queen Kiara's friends? Teshi, to be exact. It wasn't like Teshi was revolting, quite the opposite. Teshi and him since he began to stay in the Pridelands under the impression that he was Lela one of his aunt's followers son, were friends. To say the least, Teshi never knew that he was the one that lead Kiara to her almost death and is part of the reason why Sarabi is dead.

Do he regret his actions that day? Because he was a cub just following orders? Absolutely not. Scar was his grandfather, it's in his blood to avenge him. No matter the cost.

The dark brown lion lifted his head and frowned at the raise of voices. Stephen groaned already knowing what the argument was about. It's been the same argument for the past four weeks since Zira and Nala came up with the idea of 'Attack Within'. Saren isn't too pleased about waiting for another two years for Stephen's cubs to be born and kill Simba and Kiara.

With a annoyed growl, Stephen ran off towards the meaning area. In the past month, he has been slowly courting Teshi. The greyish-beige lioness was head over heels for him. Which is making the plan more successful.

A pair of bluish eyes gleamed when they caught sight of the young stocky dark brown, black maned lion. "Stephie!" Teshi cried in excitement before running over and buring her head in Stephen's mane.

"Have you thought about my proposal?"

Teshi wasn't sure about the idea of running of with a male least of all the grandson of the most hated lion in Pridelands history. But she didn't care, she loved him and he loved her. "Yes. And I'll run away with you."

Stephen grinned, this plan was working out nicely. Soon they will have Simba and Kiara's heads. Unfortunately, no one expected love to come into the mix.
