Tyrell took Sienna to their bedroom. Ziran went to fetch her some food from the kitchen. Sienna stretched on the bed. Tyrell sat next to her and pulled her into his embrace. He ran his finger on her cheek and gazed into her blue eyes." Sienna, you are everything to me. My heart stopped when I saw you outside with Lord Ziran so suddenly," he exclaimed. Sienna nodded. "I was pretty scared too. But is gone now and we here together."
Tyrell laughed nervously."You are so beautiful Sienna. I don't think this will be the last time somebody tried to take you from me. I need to strengthen the defences of the city and security. I'm going to see Magnus now and work on the city defences.
"Can't you stay with me?"Sienna looked at him pleadingly. You can work on defences tomorrow."
Tyrell sighted." Tomorrow I need to leave for Tiger tribes, I'm going to negotiate new trade deals. Lord Ziran will take care of you till Sharchan will come." he said.
Sienna's mood dropped to the freezing point and she tried to hide the disappointment in her eyes. "Why he is so responsible?" she thought. Tyrell looked into her eyes with guilt, he felt she missed him. But he needed to ensure the security of the city for her sake. He gave her a kiss on her forehead and left. Sienna puckered her lips angrily. He kisses me like a kid now...She turned on her belly and held her forehead. She really missed Tyrell next to her.
Ziran entered the room with fruit and cooked rice. He saw Sienna laying on the bed on her belly and had her behind in his view. He just wanted to lie on top of her, he hardly controlled the tiger inside of him. He put the bowl next to Sienna on the bed and left. She looked so adorable to him, that he decided to just go to hold himself. Sienna heard him outside how he is instructing men on guarding her door. She felt locked up. Sienna ate the food slowly. She was so hungry, but she felt sad inside and her stomach did not want food. She was exhausted and fell asleep. She woke up late afternoon. She felt a different presence in the room, so she opened her eyes abruptly, but her mind was still sleepy. She saw wild yellow eyes staring at her in dim light." Sharchan is you," she whispered. Sharchan sat next to her in the armchair and watched her sleep. He looked a bit cold and dangerous. His handsome face was dark." Why do you smell like Lord Ziran Sienna?" he asked.
Sienna fluttered her eyelashes and sat down. She was still sleepy. "He saved me today and carry me a bit, that's why. I need to take a bath," she muttered and looked around the room in a sleepy daze.
"I don't want to see him next to you again," Sharchan ordered.
Sienna shooked her head." He is my bodyguard from today, "she said. I was taken by Black Panter prince Xander and his men. Ziran saved me." she said to Sharchan. Sharchan furrowed his brows, "You don't need a bodyguard when you are with me..."
"Of course not, he will be just here when Tyrell is busy, what is like all the time because Magnus is stuck on him." Sienna blurted. Sharchan looked at Sienna harshly."Did Tyrell not treat you well?"
" No, of course not, he loves me so much. He just has lots of work and he is being a very responsible king."She defended Tyrell.
"Responsible so much, that you got taken?" Sharchan was hiding his anger. His words were icy cold."Well, he forgot to put guards on my doors when he left for hunting at night and the panther prince used his ones to trick me. It is now Lord Ziran's job. He is using his guards because Tyrell doesn't trust the men here."Sienna explained.
Sharchan looked inside Sienna's eyes coldly."Do you like Lord Ziran's attention?"
"Well, I do like him as a friend. He helped me a lot here. He fought the Lynx King for me. You should see that, it was quite a performance." her eyes lit up."Sharchan's expression went icier.
"He also saved me. He is nice when he is not brutish. "Sienna added. Sienna hoped Sharchan will not kill him.
Sharchan looked at her coldly. He hated when she talked nicely about another man."Lord Ziran is not a king." he noted.
"Exactly, so he is fine, and can't make claim on me even he saved me." Sienna smiled. "I don't think I can stand him next to you..."Sharchan said.
"Would you rather not see me here today?"Sienna furrowed her brows. "If not for him, I will be in Xander's hands. He is loyal, just let him protect me when you go hunting then, or when you go somewhere," Sienna smiled.
Sharchan nodded, he was glad Sienna was there. He would go crazy if she goes missing. He should thank that man with not killing him." I will see. I'm going to see Tyrell as well." he said. He planted a cold kiss on Sienna's lips and went out.
He checked the Ziran's men in front of her door. "Guard the queen properly or I kill you." he said." That would be not possible king Sharchan." said one guard."Do you think you can match me?"Sharchan asked viciously and stared at the burly tiger. "No my king.It is just Lord Ziran will kill us first. We are his men."Sharchan curled his lips and nodded."Good men."
Ziran was walking to see Tyrell and Magnus when something smashed him on the wall. "King Sharchan, what a coincidence," Ziran stood up and looked him straight into the eyes. "Come with me to see the king Tyrell, we need to talk," Ziran said.
"Thank you for saving Sienna." said Sharchan."Any time," Ziran nodded. Sharchan looked into Ziran's eyes deeply. He could see he loved her and laughed wickedly. He must send him on the quest he will never return from." When do you plan to pursue the crown? asked Sharchan. After I fight off the beasts, next spring." said Ziran.
"Another responsible one."Sharchan looked at him strongly." You need to get a strong tribe...I will not be accepting weaklings," said Sharchan. Ziran nodded with a wicked smile. "Perhaps you like to spar together a bit? He asked him brutishly."
"Spar with Tyrell first, you need to practice," said Sharchan." I might kill you by accident and I do not wish to take a servant from my queen," said Sharchan nonchalantly. Ziran bowed, it was a bad insult for him, but Ziran was happy to be next to Sienna. He knew he need to train harder and became better than Tyrell to even match with Sharchan to get Sienna.
Ziran and Sharchan walked into Tyrell's office. Tyrell was angry at Magnus who was explaining something. Sharchan come in with a killer stare and both of them stopped. Sharchan sit down next to Tyrell and pushed his brother to sit as well. Ziran sit nonchalantly and Sharchan seated Magnus with one look. "Welcome brother," said Tyrell bluntly. "Welcome your highness," said Magnus to Sharchan. Sharchan looked at them coldly.
"Welcome? Do you call this a welcome? To find my queen tired from being kidnapped? Messy and smelling of another tiger? While you are playing a king Tyrell?" Sharchan exploded.
"Apologies my king, "said Magnus."We were really working hard as all our trade deals just ended."
Tyrell looked at Sharchan with a pained expression."I'm sorry to fail you brother. But I do not have anyone to run the kingdom for me. We need to ensure the city is safer. The guards are useless. They let the queen pass just like that even after my warning to check the faces of everyone getting in or out."Tyrell was shaking in anger.
"Maybe we can train them better, perhaps..."Magnus suggested.
"No," said Sharchan," I will teach them the lesson. Magnus make sure tomorrow are all the guards at the gates." he smiled wickedly.
Magnus froze, he was afraid for their lives.
"Maybe the queen, should not be leaving the castle at all," said Magnus.
"She is not a prisoner," Tyrell replied.
"What about if she wears a veil over her face," Magnus suggested.
" She was kidnapped like that, all covered in veils. The queen hates the veils!"said Ziran strongly. He was still upset with himself to force Sienna to put them on."She even got angry with me when I covered her to sneak her back to the city."Tyrell and Sharchan looked at him in surprise. They did not though Sienna would be against veils. They kind of liked the idea nobody will be staring at her.
"Well, then Ziran will be protecting the queen when she goes out," said Tyrell, "Or one of us," he pointed at Sharchan.
"The queen is too beautiful," said Magnus. "She is causing the trouble. I still think she should cover with veil and all covered dress tunic at least with Lord Ziran," said Magnus.
"Should not the queen decide on this?"Ziran said."She is not from here and she might get upset with you if you will force her."
"Ziran go fetch Sienna, we would ask her opinion," said Sharchan with a wicked smile. He was bringing her in because he already decided on this.
Ziran went to the Sienna room. She just finished her bath and was brushing her hair. Ziran bowed to her slightly."My queen, the kings and lords Magnus like to hear your opinion. Please, come with me."
"Opinion on what?"Sienna asked innocently.
"On wearing a veil."Ziran looked at her worriedly.
Sienna's face reddened in instant."Let's go!"She strode fast to Tyrell's office. She was furious. Ziran led Sienna in and she sat on the wooden chair facing the kings and Magnus. She felt like a witch on trial. She was angry. She tried really hard to keep collected. Tyrell's heart ached. He felt guilty. If he guarded her better, she would not be sitting there all upset.
"Queen Sienna," Magnus said seriously. "You are very beautiful and that is stirring some troubles, I propose that you wear a fully covered dress tunic and the veil over your face."
Sienna looked at the Magnus coldly." No". I want to breathe free. I'm not to be dictated what to wear. I will not put on that thing on me again. I'm not a slave to be ordered around by you or anyone else Magnus. First, it will be me, and then what? All the women will be forced to wear veils like a norm? If I want to wear a veil I will wear one. But I don't.
"Do you wish to be kidnapped again instead?" Magnus asked.
"What is the difference? If I have a veil or not? Do you think I will be walking like a blind dog? Everyone knows that only I have blue eyes here. Is easy to recognize me. Will all the men force the women to be covered all the time? If I wanted to be treated like this, I will live in a country where men treat women like this. I do not like it, so that's it. Is not my fault you can't contain your royal guests. Make them wear a bag on their heads if they can't control their urges." she shrugged her shoulders.
Tyrell smiled at the idea of royal guests with the bags on their heads. Sienna is so funny. But he felt something is off with Sharchan. He was more cold and possessive than before." Most likely it was because his legacy got stronger every time he visits his tribe. " Tyrell thought.
Sharchan looked at Sienna, he liked the idea of her being covered."You don't need to cover with me or Tyrell, but when you go out with Lord Ziran you will cover." Sharchan said." No," said Sienna," Lord Ziran is capable of protecting me anyway, I will not be wearing that."
"Then you stay here!" said Sharchan. Sienna glared at him in disbelief." You just came here and you are dictating me straight away!" she could not believe her eyes and ears.
" I'm your mate you will do as I say. " Sharchan said to her coldly."
"I'm not your slave. I thought you loved me."Sienna's eyes teared up.
"You will do what I say, because I love you." Sharchan hissed.
"I will not be doing everything you want Sharchan." Sienna sobbed.
" We see," Sharchan hissed.
Sienna's heart felt tight like it was going to burst from her chest. She glanced at Tyrell, who wore a painful expression and Ziran whose face was dark with anger. She knew they could not go against Sharchan. Sienna dried her tears, stood up, curtsy with a fake smile on her lips and stormed out. She was shaking in anger, so she went to sit down in the gardens.
Tyrell and Ziran stared at Sharchan's cold face in horror. Magnus seemed quite satisfied with the notion.
"Why would you treat Sienna like this?" asked Tyrell."She was so upset. You can't force her like this."
"Is my week with Sienna now, so stay out of it Tyrell. She is mine and she will do what I say. She will just get upset. This was nothing yet." Sharchan spoke coldly. He will teach Sienna a lesson. If he could he will tie her up to his wrist. The snake in him was making him really wicked and got stronger in her presence.
"Ziran, go and take all the dresses from queen Sienna apart from nightgowns!" he instructed him.
Tyrell blushed. "You can't do that. What is she supposed to wear? I gave her that dresses."
"Is my week now," said Sharchan, "I can't let her walk all over my head."
"This will not end well. I'm not doing that. My duty is to be her bodyguard, not a punisher." said Ziran.
"Who will dare to cross me?" hissed Sharchan coldly. He was changing into a cruel Snake King. Tyrell's face darkened. Ziran clenched his fist. This was too brute like even for him. Ziran bowed and left the room. He went to find Sienna to warn her.
Sharchan sent his snake warriors to Sienna's room and they took all the dresses and fabrics. Then they put it in the Sharchan'ss room and locked it in the chest.
Sienna was sulking in the garden. She sat on the bench and tears were going down her face. Lord Ziran crouched next to her and wiped her tears with his fingers. "Sienna, King Sharchan will take all your dresses. He does not look like himself. Something is off with him, so until we find out you need to be very careful around him. Do not anger him at any cost. He is too powerful, and I and Tyrell can't subdue him if he starts raging."
"Should I be his toy then?"Sienna sobbed. Ziran looked at her with a painful expression. "The fate of this city is in your hands," he said and left.
Sienna calmed down and felt betrayed. She did not go sleep in Sharchan's room, she spend the night in Tyrell's and her bedroom by herself. Looked like Tyrell was too busy again. Sienna decided to go sleep in her dress as all her dresses were gone.
"Let me pass!" King Sharchan said to the guard in front of Sienna's room. The guards looked at themself worriedly and let him pass. He was her mate, so he have the right to enter. Ziran warned them about Snake King's temper, so there was nothing they could do. Sharchan entered Sienna's room and found her sleeping peacefully in the turquoise bed. Sharchan was upset she did not come to sleep in his room. He will teach her a lesson she will never forget!
