TAKA2 -Return to the flames And circle the flames- (16) Kingdom Member only (Patreon)

Zira’s earlier words echoed in his mind: Nuka carried his blood.

Suddenly Scar understood.

The reason his son was a fool was because he was happy.

As the First Prince, the throne was already promised to him; he had no need for wisdom or ambition.

He was simply a spineless fool.

Then a dark idea took root.

What if Scar told him the throne would never be his—

that it would pass to another?

Would the cub change?

Would that foolish heart become unyielding, wise, and strong…

just as Scar’s once had?
