Chapter 6: The Shadow of Envy

As the days passed, the lion pride continued to thrive, thanks to the life-giving waters of the canal. Akira's reputation as a clever and resourceful lioness spread throughout the land.

However, not everyone was pleased with Akira's newfound fame. Kibo's own pride members began to whisper among themselves, their eyes filled with envy and resentment.

"Why should Akira receive all the praise?" one of them growled. "Kibo is the one who released the water. He's the true hero."

Kibo's expression darkened as he listened to their murmurs. He began to wonder if Akira's success was eclipsing his own. A seed of doubt was planted in his mind, and it started to grow.
