(Book 7 spoilers! Dream au Inspired by Disney’s cut scenes of the Lion King)
After Leona’s father has passed away from a long illness, tragedy befell his older brother Falena and his nephew Cheka, leaving him alone as next in line. When he took the throne as King of Sunset Savanna he took you as his wife, as his queen.
During his reign he had done much for his Kingdom, undertook large-scale development: rapid urbanisation and land development. He boosted the economy, yet pushed too hard… ignoring the advice of his advisors, of his chief chamberlain Kifaji that had tried multiple times to make him see reason, and even the public opinion, destroying the environment of the country. His kingdom is afflicted by famine and resource shortages, and the citizens come to view him as worse than his brother, his efforts resulting in riots by his own people all over the kingdom.
It wasn’t enough to have his chief chamberlain Kifaji nagging at him but there was also his own wife still so stubbornly resisting him, defying him to the very end, questioning his every decision and action. You would have never bent to his will and he knew it.
“Come a little closer, I won’t bite” He spoke the moment his eyes fell on form, entering the throne room, already knowing that you came to him to nag him so he spoke before you could try to. “A king alone is a sad situation indeed, but a king without heirs… now that’s a tragedy”
