When Sienna woke up in the morning, she found out her dress is gone and she is having only a sheer blue nightdress over her.
"Who dared to take my dress while I slept!"Sienna was raging. It is just one man capable of doing that and she knows very well who. Is just a morning and she was enraged already. She put her legs down from the bed and stepped on something hard. It was the red purse from the panter guard, it fell on the floor as he was taking off her dress. She pick it up and smiled wickedly. It was full of golden coins. She will go to the market and buy a new dress...She would stay out all day and come back at night.
Sienna looked at the blue sheer gown in the mirror. It was very revealing and she looked like a golden-haired fairy covered in a sparkly fog. She stretched herself, stood straight and smiled. She felt half-naked, but she mustered all her courage and strode out of the room. She opened the door and the tiger guards greeted her."Good morning queen Sienna," they stared at her first but then they blushed and tried to look into her face. "Who was here last night?"Sienna asked them indifferently. "Only King Sharchan," they responded. Sienna smiled wickedly."I hope my dress will fit him well." she murmured nonchalantly and guards were hiding their laughter. She will show Sharchan to take her dresses. Game on!
Sienna straightened up, put a fairy-like smile on her lips and walked the castle corridors to the main door. The warriors who passed her were bumping into walls. "Wow, the queen was even more beautiful than they imagined. They could not believe she walked in the sheer gown in front of them, but nobody dare to stop her or gaze at her too long. Sienna was about to stroll out of the door when she saw Sharchan with Tyrell coming. She could see his brows furrowed. Tyrell looked shocked as well and was staring at her. Tyrell started to worry. Sharchan's face darkened. "Where are you going, Sienna?"Sharchan asked coldly.
" I'm going out!" she smiled sneakily.
"Are you aware you are wearing a nightgown and do not have a veil? "Sharchan said. "I'm not going with Lord Ziran, so I do not need a veil. And this is the only dress I have left, so no choice for me. I'm going to the market to buy some fabric. "Sienna replied innocently. She will not let Sharchan make his slave of her.
Ziran noticed the commotion in the castle and come over. "My queen.What you will do if all these warriors go crazy for you. Would you have us kill them?"Ziran asked her and was looking at her with hungry eyes. His body was betraying him. He was on fire. She was worthy of him fighting to the death if she wished. Sharchan saw Ziran's excitement and his mood got darker.
"I want my dresses back," said Sienna "or I will be going like this!"Tyrell sighted and held Sienna's hand. He was ready to protect her. If she decided to go naked, he would still go with her.
"No," said Sharchan." Is my week with you now ." Sharchan took off his cape and gave it to Tyrell. He give him a meaningful gaze and Tyrell rolled his eyes. He did not like what Sharchan was about to do."Come in Sienna, we talk about it together, Tyrell said gently and held her waist, trying to pull her in.
Sienna's face got red," No, give me my dresses back first, nobody will tell me what to wear. " she said. Sharchan did not like Tyrell was holding her. It was his week and she is for him only. She was getting too confident with Tyrell. Then Sharchan's eyes shone bright fires. He came closer to her. "Sienna, you can't go like this, this dress is ripped!" he said.
"Where? she asked.
"Here!" and he tore the sheer dress completely apart.
Sienna did not bulge." That's fine. I'm going to market to buy a new one." she said. She was so enraged she would go naked.
Tyrell quickly threw Sharchan's cape on her to cover her. Sienna's face got red. All Ziran's soldiers in the yard saw her in a ripped dress and their eyes were glued on her. Sharchan picked her over his shoulder and took her inside. "Let me go," she struggled. Tyrell felt his heart hurt. Ziran's face was dark. "This was so unnecessary. I need to get stronger and teach that snake a lesson." Ziran thought. Tyrell thought the same.
"What's wrong with him?"Ziran asked Tyrell. "Is that legacy possessiveness," Tyrell said," It always got worse with his visits to his snake tribe, but I never saw him like this. We are quite lucky Sienna agitated him, or he will try to kill us. He always needs drama when he is in this state."He smiled bitterly.
"What about Sienna?"Ziran was worried.
"He would never hurt her. Probably he will lock her in his room. Have no worries, she will pay him back."Tyrell said.
Ziran looked worriedly, "How can the queen revenge on Sharchan, who can wipe out all city?"
Sharchan brought screaming Sienna to his room in the tower. He put her on the bed. She was angry red. "How dare you treat me like this!" she took off his cape and threw it at him. She also took off her ripped gown and throw it at Sharchan." he looked at her with a cold smirk."Are you getting ready for me?" She stayed in shock."Is he really so insensitive? "she covered herself in the blanket and said."No. I'm angry with you!" Sharchan looked at her with a cold smile. She looked so adorable when she was angry. He should anger her more often. His eyes were full of lust and possessiveness. He liked the picture. Sienna for him only. She was with him only this week. His snake's ownership was satisfied. He will get rid of Tyrell till the winter and send Ziran out as well. She must be just his till he hibernates.
Sienna was sitting on the bed covered in a blanket. She stared at Sharchan who was thinking coldly. He changed into a snake, curled around the bed and spaced out.
"It must be his legacy again!" she thought. "What I'm going to do?" she thought. "Nobody in the city can overpower him. If she let it be, she will be like his personal slave.
Sienna had no choice and decided to play sweet for now. She lowered her legs and tried to get off the bed. Sharchan lifted his head and looked at her.
"I really like to go out Sharchan. I need some fresh air." she smiled sweetly. Sharchan nodded and changed into his man form. He went to the wooden chest and unlocked it. Sharchan picked a dress from the chest and the thick veil. He looked at her kindly. He liked she is sweet to him now. That means his methods are working. He can reward her good attitude." I might take you to meet Nefari if you put it on?"
"Nefari is here? "Sienna got excited.
"Yes, she likes to introduce you to her dancing teacher." Sharchan said."
"Really?"Sienna was excited."Can we go, please?"Sienna looked at Sharchan, he turned up around 180 degrees now. Does he have a split personality or something?" Sienna asked in her mind.
Sienna put on the dark blue velvet dress Sharchan chose for her. He tried to put the veil on her. "You said I do not need to wear it with you," she said.
"It is your punishment for today!" he said.
"What? You want to punish me?"Sienna was shocked. His moods were changing like the weather.
"Well if you don't want to wear this, we can stay in and mate all day. You look so tasty when you're angry." he licked his lips.
Sienna bit her lips and lowered her head.
Sharchan secured the veils on Sienna's head with a thick headband. She could not see a thing."This is getting too far."Sienna thought."It is a pity you have to act so weekly now. "
"What do you mean?" Sharchan furrowed his brows."
"Well, if you are not confident you can protect me, maybe we can ask Tyrell and Ziran to come along too?"Sienna provoked him sweetly.
Sharchan's blood boiled. "What do you mean? Why would I need them to come with us?"
"Well if everybody sees me in these thick veils, they will think you are afraid they attack you to steal me or something." Sienna shrugged her shoulders innocently.
She will sweeten the deal for him. She might look weak but she tries to play it out. She needed to go out. She did not want to mate with him right now, so was better to get out.
"Let's go then." she smiled and opened the door. She could not see anything, so she fell down the stairs on purpose. Sharchan caught her in a second she fall."Be careful Sienna." he hissed.
"Sorry I can't see anything, "she said innocently again.
Sharchan lifted her up horizontally and took her to the gates. Tyrell was outside the gates and saw Sharchan carrying the veiled figure. His heart throbbed painfully in his chest. He must force her to do it. "Wait for a little Sharchan!" Tyrell stopped him. Sharchan let go of Sienna and turned to talk to Tyrell. "Sharchan, it really looks ridiculous. You look funny and insecure."Tyrell put his life on the line to ease it for Sienna.
Sienna heard Lord Ziran ordering soldiers around, so she followed his voice and stumbled again. Lord Ziran noticed and catch her at the last minute." What are you doing Sienna?" he asked her." Ah Lord Ziran, thank you. I can not see anything," she talked really loudly and smiled wickedly under the veils. I'm going to meet my friend Nefari. Would you help King Sharchan to protect me, so I do not need to wear these horrible veils?" she asked him sweetly. "Of course my queen." Ziran nodded. The soldiers were hiding laughter, "Was Snake King really so weak?"
Sharchan heard them and saw he is for laughter. His eyes turned into slits. He came to Sienna and lifted her from Lord Ziran's embrace. "Yes! You can come with us! You will quard Sienna as I have business in the city!" he said to Ziran and looked at Sienna wickedly. She did not see his look, because she was covered in veils and could not see anything, so he get no reaction from her, which made him a bit uneasy. How can he punish her with his moods if she can't see it?
"You can take it off," he took the veils off Sienna's face. "Lord Ziran is here," he said with so much poison in his voice that Sienna wondered how is possible they were still alive. Sienna smiled sweetly and clenched onto Sharchan's and Ziran's arms." No, he goes behind!" said Sharchan. Sienna let go of Ziran and walked next to the Sharchan." Who is this weird guy?" she wondered in her head. Did they change his brain or what? "But she felt quite satisfied with herself. At least she will be able to see the city again.
"Why Tyrell is not coming with us?" Sienna asked. She saw Tyrell quite far with a longing daze looking at her.
"He is leaving to do trade deals in Tiger tribes right now!" said Sharchan.
"I did not give him a goodbye kiss!" Sienna said.
"You can kiss him when is his week," said Sharchan. He was getting really annoying now.
Sharchan led Sienna to the city. They passed a few narrow streets and came to a good looking house. It reminded Sienna of Roman villas. Sharchan knocked on the door. The tall looking tiger female opened the door. " King Sharchan, welcome, please let the queen in. We will be starting the dance lesson soon. Nefari just went to get some drinks," she said. "This house is for females only, so no males are allowed inside."Sharchan's brows furrowed." Ziran will wait for you here." he said. There were also other males waiting outside in the seating garden area and playing dice and chess, some of them drinking. Sharchan did not want to stay there." I will come to pick you up." he said, kissing Sienna briefly. Sharchan went and Ziran went to sit with the other males. Sienna went in. The big wooden door closed behind her and she exhaled. Sharchan was too much today. She was happy to be herself.
Sharchan went to the blacksmith. "My king, how might I help you?" the burly tiger bowed. "I need a gold plated iron cage !" said Sharchan darkly.
