[Open] 1,001 Nights

[KingKovu44]

Simba nodded, wondering what the princess would be like. "Father, I heard some of the courtiers saying that I would be entering the treasury to find a gift for the princess. Is this true?" he asked.

[Nitro]

Mufasa nodded. "It is true," his deep baritone voice rumbled.

[KingKovu44]

Simba smiled proudly and then looked at Sarabi. "Did you hear that, Mother? I will be entering the treasury where all our family's wealth is stored," he said.

[Daenerys]

Sarabi smiled, "Yes, my son. You will. But don't get into trouble. If you do, we will cancel the meeting. Do you hear?"

[KingKovu44]

Simba bowed. "Yes, Mother. I understand," he said. At this same time, Scar looked at Sarabi. "You have raised your son well. I'm sure he will be an excellent sultan and an excellent husband," he said to her, playing the role of the devoted uncle.

Zira nodded, acting like the devoted aunt.

"My husband is right. Soon Agrabah shall have a new king and queen." said Zira.

She then whispered to Sarabi.

"Although I'm puzzled about one thing? Princess Nala has rejected many suitors. How did you manage to get her to change her mind?" asked Zira.

[KingKovu44]

"Perhaps she was attracted to the description of my good looks in my father's letter," Simba said jokingly, a cocky grin on his face. He looked at his aunt and uncle and saw that they weren't smiling. Vitani was glaring at him. "What's the look for?" he asked her.

[Mike0908]

"She didn't have much sleep last night. Right?" said Zira.

Vitani smiled, and nodded. She wondered just what he'd do to win Nala but she doubted it'd work.

"My mother's right. I'm sure you'll be great cousin. I can't wait to meet her." said Vitani.

"Yes. We all can't wait to meet your new bride." said Zira.

"If only you two would rule her kingdom then we'd have you out of the way." thought Zira.

[KingKovu44]

Simba smiled. "Thank you, Vitani. I'm sure you'll make some man very happy one day too," he said. Meanwhile, in Fayiz, a tall, strong male jackal approached Sarafina. This was Selim, the royal vizier. He had been in the service of the royal family for many years, and was a good friend of Sarafina's. He approached the sultana and bowed. "Your highness, Princess Nala is nearly ready and will be here at the banquet soon," he said to her.

[Mike0908]

"Good. I just hope she takes the news well. I know Prince Simba would make a great husband for her." said Sarafina.
