News spread fast across the kingdom and everyone, small and big, young and old, was preparing for the huge coronation ceremony of their new king. The news was generally well-received by the people of Asadia, as Seif's sparkling and regal reputation is well-know across the nation. Even in the castle grounds, every member there was as busy as a bee in preparation for the big day tomorrow. All, except one.

"It's getting late, Master Seif. Why don't you take a rest for tonight? We need you to be at your best tomorrow when you're finally going to be crowned," Ardal said to his leonine master as they were standing by one of the castles terraces and watching their royal subjects work around and decorating the main hall. Seif didn't respond. He didn't even hear him. He was lost in deep thoughts about what was going to happen from here and forth. Everything was happening so fast and his life was at a drastic turning point, it was frighteningly overwhelming him. "Master Seif?" Ardal had to place his hand on the lion's shoulder to attract his attention and bring him out of his deep thinking.

"Hrm? What is it?"

"I know how you must be feeling now, Master Seif. But you'll be fine," Ardal comfortingly said.

"Yes," Seif replied.

"You've finally made it. You've been working so hard all your life to reach this point. You earned it, all of it."

"Yes..." Seif repeated. It was true that he had been doing his best and trying his hardest to prove himself worthy to everyone and make something exceptional out of himself, but never had he ever imagined himself to be the king. It was supposed to be Panja. Ever since they were little, it was always supposed to be Panja. But now, things turned different. He took Panja's place. He was becoming the king. This was how it meant to be. He believed he was up to it. He was ready to rule this kingdom. Then why did it not feel right to Seif?

on't worry, Master Seif. You can do it. I believe in you. Everyone believes in you. I'll be by your side, every step in the way. Always," Ardal said devotionally, crouching down on one knee before his master with his head bowed in complete obedience.

Seif was moved by Ardal's loyalty and it made him feel less troubled, as he smiled and patted on the bears bowed shoulder. "Stand up, Ardal," he softly told him as Ardal looked up and complied. "Thank you. I would have never made it this far without your support, faithfulness and friendship," Seif genially added, as Ardal's eyes gleamed proudly.

"It's been my honor, Master Seif!" Ardal exclaimed joyfully. "Oh, but... Regarding my punishment, the Grand Councilor has told me that it's up for the king to decide what it should be. I'm ready to accept any kind of sentence, your highness," the bear then brought up all of the sudden, lowering his head again submissively.

At first, Seif blinked surprisingly, but he then guessed it did make sense. He'd surely go through many situations like this in the future as a ruler. He shook his head with a light chuckle. "In that case, you are sentenced by being promoted to Lieutenant General of the Asadian Army," Seif stated, making Ardal's jaw drop. A lieutenant general is the highest rank one could ever obtain in a royal army, a rank only Seif achieved. "Just as you believe in me, I believe in you, Ardal. You're the only one I truly trust with this rank. It's a huge responsibility, so consider it a punishment. You're my right arm and I'll need you more than ever."

"Y-Ye... Yes, your highness! I won't let you down!" Ardal ecstatically responded.

Seif shook his head in distress. "Still as formal as ever. I understand it, but when we're alone, just call me by my name, Ardal."

"Oh. As you wish, Master Seif..." Ardal meekly replied, blushing slightly, as Seif chuckled at his bear's demure manner. The bear had never changed one bit, but he guessed that was one of his shining qualities and one of the reasons Seif considers him his closest associate; his only one now, with Panja gone and King Rour passing away. "At any rate, you should get your rest for your coronation tomorrow, Master Seif," Ardal then suggested and Seif nodded in agreement.

"Right. I'll be at my room. Let me know if anything important happens, Lieutenant General."

"Yes, your high- I mean, Master Seif!" Ardal replied with a formal salute, taking his job seriously, as Seif smiled and then went off to his personal chambers.

***

As he entered his bedroom, Seif let out a deep sigh. Today was just too surreal to believe. He was filled with a mix of emotions; shock, anxiety, excitement, joy, fear, even anger. Seif was still angry at his cousin, Panja. He wanted him to be here, with him. He wanted him to see the king's, his own father, send off. He wanted him to help him rule the kingdom, like how it was always supposed to be. They had been together ever since they were born, like real brothers. It saddened him that that he wasn't around anymore. Despite all, he missed him.

However, now wasn't the time to get sentimental. Seif needed to step up and work harder now. Everything else he did so far was nothing compared to now. Now he truly have to show them, to prove himself and show his worth. Why? Because it was the right thing to do. That was how he was raised. And it began by getting enough rest for tomorrow coronation ceremony.

"King, huh?" Seif uttered to himself, looking at his mirror reflection. The idea of it still didn't sink into him yet. It sure going to take some time for him to get used to it. He then shook his head; he needed to take his mind off it and relax or else he wouldn't get any sleep. He proceeded to take off his clothes, starting off with the cape and chest plate and placing them on the bed. He then took off the dark brown top and as he put it over the rest of his clothes, the door of his bedroom opened and one of the maids entered unexpectedly.

"Oh! O-Oh! Dear God! I-I'm so sorry, your highness! I didn't expect you to be in your room so soon! Please, forgive me!" the maid, a young female wolverine, stammered mortifyingly, immediately shying her eyes away when she noticed the topless Seif and quickly tried to shut the door.

"Wait. Come back in," Seif stopped her before she closed the door, as she coyly complied and let herself inside his private chambers, her eyes focused on the floor meekly. Seif took a better look at her and saw that she dressed the usual maid outfit, with the white and blue uniform with the white apron on front and the frilly white headpiece covering the top of her head. Her fur was dark brown with some lighter highlights on her cheeks and forehead, which was now covered in red from her blushing in embarrassment. "Close the door and come closer," Seif then simply ordered her, as she blinked for a bit at first, but quickly complied, shutting the door behind her and then slowly stepping closer till she was a couple of feet away from him. "I don't think I've seen you around the castle before. Are you new here?" Seif questioned her in his rumbling voice, making the maid more nervous.

"Ye... Yes, your highness. I just started here a week ago. I'm sorry, I just wanted to clean and tidy your room! I didn't mean to intrude on your privacy! Forgive me!" she replied nervously and apologized again, fearing that she was in big trouble and hoping her master would have mercy on her.

"What is your name?" Seif asked her for her name, and she almost broke down in tears at this point.

"Bu-Burton. Haifa Burton," she answered, clutching her hands together over her apron anxiously.

Standing silently, Seif stared at her for a while, contemplating about what he was going to do next. Haifa was noticeably cute and pretty, seemingly in her early twenties; twenty two at most. Something was stirring inside of Seif, something unusual to him, yet alluring. He stepped closer to her, just staring down at her with his piercing blue eyes. The female wolverine was completely intimidated by the hulking lion glaring down at her with his giant frame, with her eyeing his bare burly chest and making her blush harder. He just didn't speak a word and the tension was killing her.

"Ma...May I leave now, your highness?" Haifa timidly muttered and she was answered by Seif grabbing her arm and then tossing her on the top of his bed, taking her completely by surprise. She squirmed as she hit the mattress, hard enough that her maid hat fell off of her head and her lengthy head fur loosened out as she laid on her back. The next moment she opened her squinted eyes, she saw Seif's large frame looming over her, as he climbed the bed as well and crawled on top of her, holding down her by wrists with his big hands and rendering her motionless. "Y-Y-Your high...!!" Haifa tried to speak but she was silenced by his muzzle pressing down on hers and kissing her, stunning her as her eyes flashed wide open. His big, warm leonine muzzle kissed her soft pointy lips, feeling his hot breath entering her mouth and making her whole body shudder.

He soon broke the kiss as sudden as he started it, looking down at her in a way he rarely gave anyone like it. His breaths got faster and his body heated up, he needed to do this. He needed to get his mind off of the responsibilities and pressures. For once in his life he wanted to do something impulsive, let himself go wild. He knew it was wrong. This wasn't a right thing to do. But he was sick and tired of always doing the right thing. Not tonight.

Without any warning, Seif clutched the front of Haifa's outfit with his claws and tore it off, much to her shock as the realization finally hit her and she let out a sharp gasp as he continued to shred the top of her clothes and leaving her upper body nude. Seif stared down at her naked chest, a low growl of lust emitting from within his muscular chest, her breasts were plump and appealing to his eyes, her soft chest fur doing little to hide them. Her nipples were alarmingly erect even, as she was blushing hotly with him staring at her intensely like that.

Seif let go of one of her arms and placed his hand on one of her breasts, his palm groping and feeling it up slowly, enjoying the firmness, as Haifa kept squirming and moaning softly. She wasn't putting up any kind of resistance. In fact, she was quite into it. She was nothing but a servant. If her master wanted to use her to relief himself of any kind of frustration, she was happy to offer herself and her body for him. Submitting to him completely was an honor, as she softly gasped by his sharp claws pinching on her hardened nipple, her freed hand reaching up to hold on to the back of his groping hand encouragingly. Seeing her acceptance, Seif released her other arm from his grip and joined his other hand in fondling her bosoms, squeezing on her twin melons with his rigid palms and tweaking on her erect nubs with his fingers, sending electrifying pleasure through Haifa's smaller body, making her moan and pant faster.

Pleased by her willingness, the lion lowered his muzzle down on her chest, giving her breasts some tender nuzzles and kisses, even taking of them whole inside his maw, suckling on her tit sensually while keeping the other one busy with a hand, pushing the wolverine further into bliss as she let out sharp gasps and squirms, her own hands clinging desperately into his lush blond mane. Seif then licked his way up her chest, nuzzling her neck in affection, before he planted another kiss on her lips, much deeper than the first, introducing his rough lion tongue inside of her mouth. Haifa simply swooned by this as she inhaled his muzzle into hers, his musky manly scent driving her much further into ecstasy as his sexy tongue twirled and lapped with hers during the lustful kiss. Everyone in the kingdom knew that the Lowefang princes where the most handsome and attractive men in the kingdom, and to be with one of them in his own bed, making lover to her, was simply heavenly. She didn't know what she had done to deserve to be in this situation, but whatever it was she didn't regret it one bit. She steadily moved her hands up against his unbelievably wide and heavy chest on top of her, feeling his ripped muscles, the firmness of his bulging pecs was so enthralling it made her body quiver, as her fingers brushed over the thick blond chest fur covering it, while her other hand accidentally passed over one of his manly nipples, amazed at how solid it was. She was thrilled to receive an approved low purr from him, as her hands moved up the lion's brawny torso, massaging along his sturdy round shoulders and feeling how powerfully hard his thick arms were. No wonder he was the leader of the army, his muscular body was utterly exquisite. Just the sensation of his strong muscled chest and biceps flexing as Haifa rubbed them was enough to make her severely damp between her legs, moaning helplessly into his hot muzzle.

Seif soon had enough of her mouth and was ready for much more, as one hand of his gripped one end of her outfit and ripped it all away in one swipe, leaving the female wolverine fully naked on top of his bed. Haifa squirmed again as she laid nude and felt quite vulnerable, but the heat of the lion's body over her drove away the slightest bit of night's cold. She blushed brightly as she watched him sitting up on top of her, seeing nothing but hard abs and ripped muscles, as he undid his pants and got rid of them, with not a single piece of cloth standing between them now. Her eyes widened at the sight of his male member, his lion meat fully erect and quite thick and long, his arousal at its max and only she could calm it down. Despite being intimidated by his size, Haifa was more than happy to give herself to him and pleasure him in anyway, as she sat up nervously and faced his hard and leaking cock, reaching up with a hand and touching the hot surface of his lion meat, feeling how hotly firm and thick its and getting a low growl from her master.

Not in the mood for any more foreplay, the lion pushed her down on the bed again, spreading her legs apart and pulling her up closer so her thighs hugged his wide hips, as his fat cock head pushed against her wet vagina and without any preparation, he pushed his hips into hers and shoved his thick meat inside of her.

"Aaahn! Oh...! O-Oh, God...! Y-Your highness....! Oh, oh dear God!" Haifa cried out at the sudden intrusion of her pussy, her whole body stiffening up and her fingers clutching onto Seif's thick forearms. His cock was incredibly thick and big, bigger than anything she had experienced before, and the lion wasn't letting up, sinking in inch after inch of his fat meaty shaft until he couldn't push no more, grunting at the tightness of her hole. The lust was taking over the over-stimulated large feline, not giving Haifa a chance to recover from the initial penetration shock, as he got a firm hold of her waist and pulled a few inches of his hot cock out of her damp pussy before he pushed it in again, adding a couple of more inches of his length into her as he stretched her inner walls further, causing the wolverine to moan out. He began to thrust in and out of her again and again, finding a satisfying pleasurable rhythm, ramming into her harder and faster with each minute passing as her body rocked back and forth over the bed sheets, with her breasts bouncing about by the rough sexing, moaning her heart out. Seif was groaning in pure pleasure, completely immersed, caring for nothing but to fuck the hell out of this female he barely even knew. His gruff and deep grunts grew faster and hotter, sweat began dripping down his muscular buff body and trickling down on Haifa's even hotter body, mixing with her own sweat. She felt herself blushing and hot like a volcano was ravishing her and it felt incredibly amazing, her eyes filled with blurry tears, as Seif was mercilessly slamming into her hips, and as rough and hard as he was, it wasn't to the point that he was hurting her in anyway, or else she would've been broken in pieces by his powerful thrusts.

It finally came to a climatic end when Haifa simply couldn't take much more and her loins burst, causing her whole body to spasm under the lion wild sexual assaults, crying out her orgasm as her juices splashed all over Seif's pumping cock and slapping balls, dripping down and staining the bed sheets under them. Bringing her to her release was enough to push Seif to the edge, as he too let it loose and roared out his climax, his powerful frame shook violently against her and she felt the rushing sensation of his pulsing cock throbbing inside of her and then shooting off his first load of hot and creamy lion seeds. He kept cumming and cumming for a multiple times to calm the tantalizing aching in his full balls, filling her pussy with his white sticky sperm to the brim as it leaked out and mixed with her own female juices, making the wolverine moan and squirm more at the hotness of it all.

When he finally emptied himself into her and the wonderful sensation of his orgasm passed, Seif let out a very huge and long sigh of relief, hunching down over Haifa's worn out body with him leaning on his elbows to make sure he doesn't squish her under his hefty strapping chest. He had no idea how much he needed this, as his breathing slowed and calmed, his pecs heaving up and down against the maid's own panting breasts. He looked down at her and smiled softly, running a finger of his over a strand of headfur that was covering her forehead.

"Thank you, Haifa," Seif rumbled softly.

"Oh... It's... my pleasure, your highness..." Haifa's simply replied devotedly. "I'm so sorry, but... they'll be looking for me now and I have some other errands to do. Please, can you pardon me, your highness?" she then nervously said and wanted to excuse herself before anyone else started wondering about her and find out about what she had done. Seif understood and got off of her to let her get up. She winced a bit as she still felt kind of sore, but she sucked it up and collected her torn up outfit.

"Use my washroom to clean up and find something else to wear," Seif then told her, as she nodded gratefully.

"Thank you, your highness. I'm sorry. Pardon me now," Haifa bowed to him tamely and scurried off to his private chambers washroom.

Seif dropped his broad back on his bed and breathed out calmly as he crossed his arms behind his head. Everything seemed clearer to him now and he totally forgot about his anxiety. Whatever happened at the coronation tomorrow, he would be prepared for it.

*****

The day finally arrived, a day that would leave its mark in history, when the birth of a new king of Asadia would take place. The whole kingdom was eager and excited at the event, with most of the attending the castle from inside and out its walls, waiting for the coronation of their new ruler. They didn't get to wait for too long as the ceremony soon began, with most of the royal subjects standing by at the spacious throne hall, waiting for the entrance of the heir.

A startling blow of horns then played that attracted everyone's attention. "Ladies and gentlemen! People of all of Asadia! Prince Seif Alnar Lowefang!" the castle announcer hollered, as he directed them towards the line of royal troops walking through the center of the hall, being led by Ardal, as they accompanied Prince Seif towards the throne. He was dressed in ceremonial royal clothes that every king before him wore when they were crowned. They marched in synchronized order in front of the dozens of the attendants until they safely conveyed Seif in front of the throne and stopped. The grand councilor was standing next to the throne, with the royal crown sitting near him on top of a secured pole, sparkling from the precious stones decorated all over it. As Seif approached the throne alone, he crouched down on one knee before the grand councilor.

"By the power bestowed upon me by the previous king, I hereby declare you, Prince Seif Alnar Lowefang, the sixth king of the kingdom of Asadia," the grand councilor proclaimed as he picked up the royal crown in his feather hands and placed it on top of the lion's blond mane, then he took a golden chalice and filled it up with holy water from a sink next to him, handing it to Seif. Seif stood up and drank the whole chalice as a sacred cleansing ritual, turning around to face his people. "People of Asadia! Your new King! King Seif! Hail!" the heron announced out loud as the whole kingdom roared out in a thunderous cheer.

"Long live King Seif! Long live King Seif! Long live King Seif!" everyone cheered and hollered in one strong and joyous voice, raising their arms in the air in unison. Seif watched the scene around him in sheer awe, the support of his people only heartening his will to do whatever in his strength to rule these lands. He looked over and saw Ardal cheering him on amongst his other men in the army, bringing a smile on his face. There was no turning back now. This was it. He came a long way to reach this point and nothing would get in his way to achieve greatness. He would prove that he was the true heir. He would make everyone forgot about Panja. He would surpass King Rour. He would do it and become the greatest king this kingdom had ever had.
