Max was walking by in the training arena. He was going to meet up with Leena for some training together. His ears twitched at laughing and it was coming from around the corner. Max walked over and he spotted Leena...but she was not alone.

Leena was talking to a guard at the training arena, the two of them laughing. Max wondered what they were talking about. He started walking over to them to ask about their conversation.

"So Max keeps losing to you in training?" The guard asked and Max froze in the spot. "They're talking about me?" He asked himself and he quickly hid behind some training equipment.

He peeked over, his ears up and twitching. He was getting a little suspicious. "Yeah it's usually me that wins whenever we train. One time he tried to swing his foot and I ducked and threw a rope around his foot. And then I got up and told him 'hey max you have something wrapped around your leg' and he thought I meant a snake so he freaked out" she explained and the guard and Leena bursted out laughing.

Max frowned and growled at it. He remembered that moment. "Man why does she have to tell someone about that? That was so embarrassing" he told himself and he kept watching.

Leena calmed down from the laughter and continued her story. "Anyway, while Max got distracted, I pulled the rope and he fell. That's a moment I'll never forget" she said, finishing her story. The guard calmed down from his laughter.

Max growled annoyed at the guard and felt a burning rage inside him like a fire lit up. His eyed widen a bit at this new feeling. 'What is this? This feeling? Is this...jealousy?' Max wondered in his head, surprised by this new feeling. He never felt jealous before until he saw Leena and that guard talking.

He looked back at the two lions talking. "Wow so his fight training is as bad as his royal training" the guard commented in a mean way. Max looked down feeling upset. He was doing so good in his royal training. "Excuse me?" His ears twitched at Leena's voice and it sounded angry. He looked at her and saw how annoyed she look.

The guard scoffed "come on I saw his training earlier. He doesn't look like a king nor acts like one. And his ballroom dance is terrible. Who dances like that?" The guard said rudely. Leena glared at him and felt a burning flame of rage inside her, angry that the guard was insulting her friend.

"Un hello I was Max's dance partner. And I think he dances good" she told the guard, putting her hands on her hips. Max actually started coming out of his hiding spot, curious to see what happens next. Leena and the guard didn't notice him because they were talking.

"Why do you support him? He's not a good king. Plus he grew up in the jungle, one of the most primitive places ever. He'll never be a true king like Adisa" the guard said smirking as he placed a hand on Leena's shoulder.

Leena pulled her shoulder away from his hand and growled at him. "I support Max because he is my best friend. And he's not a good king. He's the best king. Incase you forgot, Max saved the Lion Kingdom and is trying his hardest to be the king everyone needs him to be. Adisa would be proud of his son. And you shouldn't even be making fun of him at all" Leena yelled at the guard furious and the guard was surprise by the sudden change of behavior.

Max was amazed and touched. He was happy to see Leena defending him. He started to make his way over.

The guard scoffed annoyed "well when I see I won't hesitate to tell him..." the guard started and "tell me want?" Max's voice came up and Leena and the guard turned and saw Max coming. The guard got wide eye while Max joined Leena's side. Leena was surprised too. She wondered how long Max was around.

"I heard everything" Max said boldy and the guard was speechless and worried. He didn't know what to do. "Um uh I can explain..." the guard blurted out panic "leave for now. You are suspended from your duty as guard for a week" Max told him and the guard stared at him wide eye and felt defeated.

"Yes your Majesty" the guard said and left. Leena and Max looked at eachother "you saw the whole thing?" Leena asked him surprise. "Yep. And thanks for defending. I really appreciate it Leena" Max told ger grateful and smiling. Leena smiled at him.

"But I am a little annoyed that you told someone about what happen at training" he told her annoyed and Leena laughed. "Come on let's go train" she told him, patting his back and walked off. Max shook his head smiling and followed her.
