Sanjeev Siva‎-The Rise of Kings.

Ever since Kumbha (T-34) claimed the throne to the kingdom (range) of Kundal, there were hardly any conquests to the throne.

The scenario changed with Noor (T-39) making inroads into Kumbha's territory due to pressure from her own subadults, Noorie and Sultana, Kumbha wooed her and started to mate with her.

Aurangzeb (T-57), the mate of Noor, since Ustad's (T-24) deportation was lovelorn and entered Kumbha's territory to reclaim his queen.

With minor standoffs happening from time to time, however, a death-match was on the cards. On 20-June-2019, Aurangzeb injured Kumbha in a tiff, leaving him crippled. Kumbha had been mating with Noor for the past five days which meant that he hasn't hunted or fed during that time giving the sly Aurangzeb a great advantage who traced Kumbha, almost fatally wounding him.

With Kumbha not patrolling his territory in a while and crippled, his two sons have started patrolling Kumbha's territory like never before, one of them reaching Kumbha's favourite area/seat to the throne. It will be a while before we see a new king as we have two contenders who are still brothers in arms. But this is or is this the fall of a king and the rise of another king?

A year ago, Jai and Veeru were so impoverished and malnourished that they appeared to not make it beyond the cub stage. But both of them have emerged into healthy subadults and put on enough bulk that either of them an continue to be a great ruler, carrying the legacy of their father.
