Black Panther, this is the title of the Wakanda for their king.

This tradition is said to originate from the clan disputes in Wakanda in ancient times. 18 tribes fought against each other to fight for the throne of Wakanda. Among them, the tribe worshiping the Black Panther God Baster accidentally found a special strange thing that could make the physical fitness of the warriors far exceed ordinary people overnight. In addition to the use of vibrating weapons and armor, the Black Panther tribe quickly unified the entire Wakanda.

Since then, the Black Panther has become the title of King Wakanda.

According to the tradition of the Wakanda people, becoming a black panther means becoming the guardian of the kingdom. Therefore, the Black Panther, the king of this country, is the most powerful warrior in the Wakanda Kingdom.

This black panther is Techala's father Techaka, who has inherited the throne for more than 30 years.

His rule was stable and long-lasting, and was recognized by 18 tribes in the country. His rule would last for a long time until his son Techara was truly mature enough to take over the position of Black Panther.

Merlin has seen Black Panther.

Although he had never seen the Black Panther face-to-face, he did sense the existence of the Black Panther through his perception that night in 1992.

Black Panther's vibrating armor could block Merlin's perception of infiltration, but that night, when Black Panther talked to Njob, she took off her helmet, so Merlin sensed the Black Panther's life activities.

It is indeed as legendary, almost like a superman.

It's like a majestic sea.

That represents the mystery and power of the Black Panther.

"Buzz"

The Royal Ark slowly landed on the square in front of the Wakanda Palace. With the opening of the life-stop, Merlin and his group walked out of the Royal Ark. In front of them, more than 30 female warriors in Doramiji's guards, holding vibrating spears and wearing golden red armor, stood on both sides of the road, as if welcoming the prince back.

And in front of them, a woman wearing a white gauze dress and a complicated head crown stood.

She looked in her 40s, and her well-maintained face was filled with gentleness and expectation. She was Techara's stepmother, Princess Surui's biological mother, Black Panther's wife, and the current queen of Wakanda.

Her name is Lamonda, from a tribe in South Africa. After Techara's mother died more than a decade ago in Queen Niami, she became the new wife of Black Panther.

According to Ororo, the queen and Techara have a good relationship, just like a real mother and son. It seems that His Majesty Black Panther's family is quite complete, and there are no legendary royal struggles.

"Mother."

Techara walked forward quickly and bowed to the queen. Ororo and Su Rui also saluted the queen with the etiquette of a lady.

"Get up quickly."

The queen reached out to help her son, daughter-in-law and daughter straightened her body. She first chatted with her son for a few words, then turned her eyes to Eric, and she said:

"Is this Njob's son?"

"Well, his name is Eric."

Techara introduced to her mother:

"Ororo has confirmed that he is indeed the child of Uncle Njob."

"All right."

Queen Ramonda's expression looked quite calm, but Merlin noticed that the queen's hands were clutching each other tightly, which meant that the queen's heart was not as calm as she looked on.

It seems that not everyone in the Wakanda royal family is very happy about Eric's sudden appearance.

"Go to meet your father and take Eric with you."

Queen Ramonda said to her son and daughter:

"Black Panther is waiting for his nephew, he has something to say to Eric."

After saying that, the queen looked at Melin again, and she said to Melin:

"You must be Eric's guardian, Mr. Merlin Riley?"

"Yes, your Majesty."

Merlin nodded slightly to the queen and said:

"I'm Merlin."

"Very good, please follow me, Mr. Merlin."

Queen Ramonda said to Merlin:

"I'm sorry that the conversation between Black Panther and Eric cannot be known by you. This is the royal affairs of Wakanda. Please follow me. I have prepared a banquet in the palace to welcome guests from afar."

"Well, wait a moment, your majesty, I'm going to say a few words to Eric."

Merlin said something to the queen, then pulled Eric aside, and he whispered to Eric:

"You will probably know all the truth about your father this time. I believe you can make the right judgment, but I still want to tell you that no matter what you hear or what you see, you must control yourself."

"This is their territory, and although I believe Ororo won't hurt you, just in case."

He looked around and stuffed something into Eric's hand:

"If you encounter danger, hold this."

Eric looked at the black gloves in his hand, nodded and said to Merlin:

"Don't worry, Merlin, I'm not a child anymore, I'll handle it."

"Okay."

Merlin patted Eric on the shoulder, then nodded to Ororo and Techara, and followed Queen Lamonda to the other side of the palace.

“Is the way here still going smoothly?”

Although His Majesty was protected by several female warriors from the Doramiji guards, she herself did not have much aristocratic airs. She was like a peaceful elder sister, talking and chatting with Merlin along the way.

“It went smoothly.”

While observing the defense situation around the palace, Merlin replied:

"Except for me later on, I found out that there was no pilot, which made me a little uneasy. After all, this is my first time riding an unmanned plane."

"Well, everyone feels anxious when they realize that their life is not controlled by themselves."

Queen Ramonda nodded and said:

"But please rest assured that Wakanda's mechanical technology is very advanced, and uncontrolled occupies a very important position in our lives. The chances of plane crashes you are worried about are many times smaller than when a pilot was flying it."

"Mechanicals will not relax their vigilance, data will not take a nap, and controlled machines will not make some wild attempts. Everything will move forward in the right order and there will be no turbulence. Just like Wakanda, we like to be organized in everything, rather than suddenly appearing some unexpected surprises."

Hearing the Queen's words, Merlin was silent for a moment, and he said:

"I feel like there is something in your words. Your Majesty Queen, please just say it. I don't like to beat around the bush."

"Well, if you're willing to have a good talk."

The queen turned around and waved her hand, and the surrounding female warriors took several steps in obedience.

"Mr. Merlin, I hope that after the conversation between my husband and Eric is over, you can take him out of Wakanda."

Queen Ramonda said bluntly:

"My son Techara may succeed to the throne of the Black Panther in the next few years. I don't want the turmoil at this time. You can understand this as a mother's concern for her son."

"oh?"

Merlin asked in a playful tone:

"Why?"

"As far as I know, Eric's father, Prince Njob, made a huge mistake. Logically speaking, as his son, Eric cannot have the right to inherit the throne. He has no threat to Techara's succession, right? What's more, this child has gone through a lot of hardships to return to his hometown and is hurriedly taken away."

"Isn't this a bit too hurtful, right?"

"The problem is not Eric's idea, Mr. Merlin."

The queen sighed, she made a "please" position, and then sat with Merlin on the stone pier in the garden, and she said to Merlin:

"You and Eric don't understand the political form of Wakanda. This country was originally established by 18 tribes. To this day, most of the 18 tribes have been in name only, but there are still several tribes who maintain a strong posture. The imperial meeting composed of their elders has the power to intervene in the throne change."

"And Eric's father, Prince Njob, was also my husband when he was young, Prince Techaka's most powerful opponent to succeed him, but their brotherly relationship eventually defeated politics. Prince Njob chose to exile himself and left the political vortex of Wakanda, and my husband succeeded to the throne successfully."

The queen whispered:

"But those waves have not disappeared. I am very worried that once Eric stays in Wakanda, those forces that once supported his father's battle for the throne with Techaka will become active again. After all, from a legal perspective, Eric's body does have royal blood flowing. Even if he is unwilling to compete with Techala, once he enters this vortex, many things will be left unto him."

"This is also for Eric's good."

Queen Ramonda advised:

"Even if I don't know you and Eric, I can feel that the relationship between you is very deep, and you won't want Eric to fall into an unavoidable political vortex in Wakanda, do you?"

"Actually, Eric himself doesn't want to stay in Wakanda."

Merlin said frankly:

"But it's one thing for us to leave ourselves, and it's another thing for being driven away His Majesty Queen. I need to know the truth! Don't use any political storm to fool me!"

Merlin said with sharp eyes:

"On the way here, I talked about the situation in Wakanda with your son and daughter-in-law. His Majesty Black Panther Techaka has been in power for more than 30 years. He has a very good political skill and has suppressed other clans without any temper. There will be no trouble in Techala's succession. If you want Eric to leave, it is definitely not just for so-called political reasons, express your real concerns, and then I will decide whether to help you."

"All right."

The queen stared at Merlin's eyes, who refused to give in. After a moment of confrontation, the queen took the initiative to withdraw her gaze and whispered:

"It's because of my husband, Black Panther Techaka, Techala's father."
