Shahzad, was diligently training. As things were for Shahzad, the 4th born son of the King of Kings was rather irritated. As it stood Kamal was to inherit. But the stallion was much softer than their father, he could tell by the way His brother Kamal babied Sooraya letting the mare do what she pleased when he knew she was up to things mares ought not. Things were going to get far to lenient when his brother took over and that was something that couldn't happen. Didn't their father see Shahzad was the better choice?
His name meant prince, though unlike his brother's who meant perfection Kamal was far from that perfection. Shahzad was meant to be king as he should have been. He only had a few obstacles to remove. Kamal being one of them, but he was going to need some help, somehow and it would have to come from outside the herd. He'd have to be careful to to let it come back to him. Now how could he?
Oh! Shahzad got an idea, a delightfully wonderful Idea. His niece had long been suspicious of him that much he knew. Particularity when he had been prodding about Adel's sudden restoration to perfect health upon his adult years. Adel hadn't been a competitor to remove until recently. Haidar didn't care for the throne and neither did Latif. Saafir was only meant to support Kamal. But that left quite a few in the way, but if... Kamal's precious daughter was taken by someone from outside the herd and something where to happen to them on the way to retrieve her... Perhaps he'd be rid of them after all.
Now who could he possibly get to do that? Shahzad took a moment from his training to ponder. He knew of none off hand he might have to take a trip out to find someone. Was there a star that existed that was foolish enough to incite the anger of his herd? He did but wonder...
