Ramse and Xander entered the Sand City like heroes. Adenou was waiting for them in the Throne Room. Sienna was walking between Ramse and Xander. She stopped at the front of the Adenou sitting on the Sarcos's throne and curtsied deeply."My dearest king, these brave kings bought me from wicked king Aiden. They saved me and took great care of me as they brought me back to you."She smiled sweetly.
Adenou looked at Sienna's arms, "She did not get any new bracelets, so they did not mate with her then." he thought. Sienna looked a bit tired but beautiful. Her hair were plaited in a long golden plait, she looked wild and alluring.
Adenou licked his lips. He went down from Sarcos's throne with opened arms."My queen! I'm so excited you are back safely with me, my dearest."He welcomed her theatrically. Sienna nodded with a sweet smile and embraced him.
Ramse stared. "This is an immortal who took over Sarcos's body!" he thought and felt weird. He noted the difference straight away. Xander just watched with a bit of painful expression, he did not want to part with Sienna.
"You must be tired, my darhling, go rest in the gardens and I will talk to your saviours in my office," Adenou said caringly.
Sienna bit her lips. She hoped he will don't kill them. She glanced at Ramse and Xander as she followed Rem to the gardens.
Adenou looked at Ramse and Xander curiously. "So tell me, my dear kings, why did you buy my queen?"
"We wanted to save her from king Aiden. He wanted to sell her to Lynx King," said Xander carefully.
"I'm your longest friend and business partner, of course, I need to help you, "Ramse said politely.
"So you did not want to mate with her at all?"Adenou asked.
" If she will ask us, of course, we will not dare to refuse her," said Xander.
"Well she is surely alluring, but we respect her decisions."Ramse played it sweetly. He could feel the dangerous dark cloud seeping from Adenou.
"So how did you manage to overcome Aiden?" asked Adenou.
"Well, we bought the queen for four big chests of gold," Ramse said.
" Aiden is so poor? " Adenou asked.
"No, it was just a trap, he tried to ambush us and take the queen again," said Xander.
" And you two managed to defeat him?"Adenou lifted his eyebrow.
"No, we were saved by Sharchan on our way. He fought 150 dark eagle warriors to help us," said Xander.
" Why he did not take the queen himself?" asked Adenou.
"To protect her life. He was worried she could get injured in the fight. He sent us here to bring her to you and offered he will pay us ." Ramse nodded.
Adenou nodded his head. He got so much fun interrogating them. He felt they are much weaker than him."I'm glad you brought her. King Ramse, I will write to you shortly, with an order for more females. I'm creating a harem. I expect the most beautiful females."Adenou looked at Ramse nonchalantly.
" It is not your queen the most beautiful?" asked Xander in disbelief.
"Well, if you are not happy with the queen, I will gladly exchange her for 200 females."Ramse offered politely.
"200? Is she that much worth to you?"Adenou licked his lips.
Ramse nodded."There is no other like her."
"Sure, sure."Adenou nodded and curled his lips."That is why she belongs to my collection. How much Sharchan said he will pay for the queen?"
"Tripple."Said Xander with tight lips. He could not understand this man. He got the most beautiful and amazing queen and still wanted more. "He doesn't love her!" the realisation hit him. "He just likes her because she is a beautiful trophy for him." he thought with furrowed brows. His heart ached for Sienna.
Adenou shooked his head." I will give you six chests of gold. I know you just bought her because my armies crossed you on the way. You were trying to pass the city and go to the black panther's land." he smiled cleverly."Seems like my pretty queen wanted to save your necks. She is too kind to weak scoundrels like you! But you are not her mates, so we let her be happy and play her little game." Adenou said funnily.
Ramse and Xander stood frozen. They wished it was a real Sarcos. They suddenly understood why she preferred to go Tyrell for a bit.
Adenou nodded his head."You can go now. My queen is in the garden, you can say your farewells."Ramse and Xander nodded and went. They felt relieved. This immortal was crazy!
Sienna was sitting in the garden when she saw Xander and Ramse coming. They looked a bit frozen, but she was happy they are still alive. She looked at Xander. He was so cute as a panther. They both came closer to her. "We come to bid you farewell," Xander said painfully. Sienna nodded."Can you change to a panther for me again?" she asked him. Xander bit his lips and changed. Sienna pet his head and kissed his forehead."You are so cute Xander!"
Ramse felt upset. He will have to part with her now when she started to like him a bit." Thank you Ramse, "Sienna gave him her hand. Ramse held it in his for a moment biting into his lips." I will see you soon Sienna." he locked his grey eyes in her blue ones. Sienna nodded."I know. Please remember to stay kind. You are not a bad man but you are acting horribly. If you learn to be kind you can become a great king." she smiled sweetly.
"Will you have me then?"Ramse asked.
Sienna bit her lips." I hope you will fall in love with someone else and be happy."
"Impossible."Ramse shook his head. "I will get your heart one day," he said proudly.
Sienna sighed." Have a good way to your tribe, Ramse, make all your people love you."
She smiled and gave her hand to Xander. Xander pulled her by the waist passionately."You will be mine one day."Sienna poked his nose."You are so cute. Thank you for everything."
Xander's face went red." Never say it again."
"Have a good travel to your tribe too."Sienna gazed into his sparkly eyes and felt her heart move. She liked him at least as a friend.
They turned from her and left. Sienna watched them walk away and sighed. She felt kind of more free with them than with Adenou. Xander turned around halfway, just to see as Sienna licked her lips and pretended to roar at him silently, "Get stronger!"She chuckled when he saw her. Xander smiled. He liked her spirit. Then he sighed. His warriors still called him" the cute king".
Ramse and Xander went out of the Sand City gates."Females are so demanding."Ramse furrowed his brows.
Xander looked at him." I gave Sienna a dress to wear, some wild berries and my support. Kindness is the key to her heart Ramse."
Ramse sighed. This felt so wrong to him. He glanced at the gold his warriors were carrying and felt sad. "I need to become a stronger king." he thought.
"Are you giving up? Xander asked.
" Never!"Ramse shook his head."Now is not a good time. That immortal is crazy. We will need to wait for a better chance."
"Xander nodded, " You can always count on my support."
Ramse and Xander shook their hands. They each signed to their warriors to follow and went their separate ways.
Adenou came back to Sienna, she still sat in the garden. She smiled at him sweetly.
"What will you do if I do not buy you back?"Adenou stood in front of her with a teasing smile.
"They will take me to Tyrell. Sharchan wanted to buy me back and Tyrell surely too."Sienna replied nonchalantly.
"So you were thinking they are taking you here?" Adenou asked.
"They said so."Sienna shook her shoulders. Adenou saw she was telling the thru.
"Why are you asking me?" Sienna got suspicious.
"Nothing," he smiled. She was a bit gullible in believing them, but he knew she did not know the way."So if I would kill Sharchan and Tyrell, who will buy you back?"
Sienna's face went pale."I will have to stay with Xander and Ramse till Aiden steal me back. He would try to sell me again. He wanted gold for his armies. He could not take me only because Sharchan stopped his ambush. Sharchan fought 150 warriors for me."Sienna tried to ease Adenou.
Adenou smirked at her."So who will buy you next?"
"Maybe Lynx King?"Sienna guessed.
"And after that?"Adenou asked.
" I'm not sure, I do not know all the kings," she shrugged her shoulders."Maybe Ramse and Xander will keep me then for themself."
Adenou looked at her."You need to be more careful. I don't like to waste my gold."
"Are you sorry you bought me back?"Sienna looked at him."I did not force you to do it!" she furrowed her brows really upset." It was Sarcos's gold anyway. He will surely pay them more for me." her heart flinched.
"So you will be happy to go with them?" he pierced her eyes.
Sienna looked at him with her strong tiger eyes. "Still better than staying in the Aiden's castle. He almost took me inside his bed. Luckily someone sounded the horns and he let me go."
Adenou looked at her suspiciously."Do you like Ramse?"
Sienna shook her head and laughed coldly."Not a bit."
"What about Xander?"Adenou asked.
"I will probably agree to have him as a panther pet?" Sienna looked innocently.
"A pet?"Adenou looked at her.
"Yes, "Sienna nodded.
"So you do not love them at all?" Adenou wondered.
"No." Sienna shooked her head."Ramse is always trying to take me to be his slave mate. He was the first warrior I met here.I ran from him and Sharchan saved me, but Sharchan said he wanted to eat me. Tyrell tried to save me from Sharchan. Then I had to accept them both because otherwise, they will kill each other.
And Xander just took me from the market by force. Lord Ziran saved me. But Xander was very kind to me now, I'm thankful to him, he protected me from Ramse a lot." she sighed."Ramse is a bully. Like you."She said sweetly."But at least you don't force me to cook for you and clean your house. And you will not have me beaten."Sienna added and bit her lips.
"Beaten?"Adenou looked at her in shock."He wanted to have you beaten? And you called me a bully?"
His eyes seemed somehow confused. "Did you call me a bully?"
Sienna nodded."Yes, you are quite a bully too. But more dangerous than Ramse.You should be friends. He can learn from you."She nodded nonchalantly.
Adenou did not know what to say to her."I'm your mate, king and master. I just bought you back. And you call me a bully?"
Sienna looked at him. "You fit the definition of all four perfectly master."
Adenou was a bit upset."I will show you who is a bully, darhling."
"You do not need to, I see already. You can't act like a noble Scorpion King, is very visible."Sienna tightened her lips. She felt too enraged and stopped caring again. She had enough of him threatening her all the time with killing her mates.
Adenou clenched his fist hard. She sure knew how to make him steam. If she is a man he will kill her on the spot. But she was his mate. He did have a strong feeling towards her and his body was obsessed with her." You will suffer for this, darhling." he decided.
"As you say, master. I hope you have fun making a little plan, how to punish me because strong men have to defeat the females first to show off how strong they are!"Sienna looked at him satirically.
Adenou open his mouth in awe." What did you just say? You do what I say. You will listen to me!" he could not believe his ears.
"You sound like an Ape King. Are you family maybe? He likes his face paint too. You are only strong because you are in my mate's body."She looked at him fiercely.
Sarcos's soul felt her rage."I will be not able to stay hidden for long."He sighed. He was still not able to find the rest of the immortal's name, because Sienna was away and Adenou's soul was not blacked-out from mating.
"Do not speak to me till I ask you, Sienna!"Adenou was upset.
Sienna nodded. She was very upset he mentioned killing off her mates again and had enough. She felt he wanted to kill them.
Adenou went back inside the castle raging." I need to think about my "little plan"!" his fists clenched tight and his body was shaking in anger. He never saw Sienna like this. "What happened with her?" he was wondering.
