The cold morning sun above Crystal City found Sienna kissing Marco and giving him farewell for a few days. "I will miss you, but I will see you for longer like this."Sienna kissed his lips passionately."Come back soon my brave eagle."
"Sure!" Marco nodded."I will leave Bran with you."
Tyrell was watching them standing just a bit behind. He was ecstatic to have Sienna for three days till Marco checked on his men. Tyrell and Marco could talk quite well. Tyrell was hard-working and polite and Marco was a stern soldier. There was no way how they could argue! They decided to join their weeks as Sienna suggested. It was good for both of them and Sienna too!
"Watch our queen properly!" Marco called to Tyrell.
"Sure. I have Ziran and Bran.They will be Sienna's bodyguards here. I promise she will be fine."Tyrell nodded.
"Good."Marco glanced at Sienna for the last time and flew high into the sky.
Tyrell came to Sienna and hugged her around her shoulders."Don't be sad, he will be back soon, hm?"
"Yes, Tyrell. "Sienna wiped her eyes carefully with the back of her hand. She always teared up when she had to say goodbye to her mates!
Tyrell took Sienna to his beautiful Sala Terrena for breakfast. He prepared a special morning meal to enjoy together. Well, it was actually Tyrell staring at Sienna eating fruit salad and warm bread buns, but it was still kind of romantic from him! Sienna liked it. She told him about her time in the wetlands. "He should surely know everything too. "she thought. Tyrell was really upset about it and kept blaming himself. He kind of wished that Sharchan killed Magnus and he could spare Sienna all this, but it was already done! He felt as if he almost lost her forever and held her tight on his lap.
"What would you like to do today?"Tyrell asked her gently. He held her on his chest for a long time now and noticed Sienna started to wiggle a bit.
"I like to go dancing. "Sienna kissed his cheek. "Have no worries, I will be fine. I just need to relax for a bit for now." she stood up and pulled him to her room. Tyrell watched as she got ready to get out excitedly. She put on a warmer wine-red gown as it was chilly outside. Tyrell helped Sienna to put on a warm cape.
"Have fun my love and be careful!" he kissed her lips lightly as she was about to leave.
"Have no worries, I will protect our queen, you can run back to work."Ziran chuckled wildly. He was still brutish with Tyrell, even though he was his king for now!
Tyrell looked after Sienna as she left with Ziran. She looked tiny next to the muscular brutish brow tiger. Tyrell shook his head. "I would never guess before he would become my friend one day. And that I will let him guard my own heart." he sighed.
Tyrell went out as well, he asked Bran to help him prepare the soldier station for the eagles again. Marco promised, he will bring the soldiers to protect Crystal City back with him, so Tyrell wanted to have the place for them ready.
Sienna went dancing in Rosella's villa again. Rosella welcomed her warmly and showed her proudly around the place. It was all different! It looked like Rosella redecorated the place in cream and gold!
"It looks lovely," Sienna look at her a bit puzzled.
"Well, do you recognize it?"Rosella asked a bit cheekily.
"It looks like the Spider King Mirror sale."Sienna bit her lips.
"Yes, exactly."Rosella nodded."Your adventures kind of inspired rumours, stories and fashion."She chuckled.
"Adventures?"Sienna shook her head a bit confused.
"Yes, everyone likes to know more about you!"Rosella nodded."So where were you this time? We missed you. I have to say you are not the most punctual student. You come to your lessons less than once a month! "She shook her head."If you are not the queen, I will not bother to teach you at all."She said seriously."But King Sharchan pays for your lessons well in advance and it is good for business, everyone likes to learn from me even more now."Rosella said kind of coldly.
Sienna felt her heart clench a bit. She kind of understood Rosella's frustration, but there was not much she could do about it. It is not like she lived in Crystal City permanently.
"Well, but I can still join your lessons from time to time, no?"Sienna smiled gently. "I really like to learn some more from you."
"Did you at least practise a little?"Rosella lifted her eyebrows.
"I did not dance by myself for a long time."Sienna sighed."Only at the ball."
"Well, sometimes you can just practice the moves in front of the mirror by yourself. Or was you under the ground, that there was no music there?"Rosella asked a bit satirically.
"Yes, how did you know?"Sienna nodded. "I was held up in wetlands Moss City and then stuck in the Underworld."
"Well, queen Thyasse was one of my classmate friends at my dance school. She could surely teach you something, if you asked her, no?"
"I did not feel as dancing there at all. "Sienna bit her lips.
"Hm, very well! I hope you feel as dancing now, then."Rosella decided to let the queen off."Go change."
Sienna nodded and went with a long sigh. Her happy mood was a bit dented right now, she did not expect to be told off this much!
When she came to changing rooms only Amara and Zeldya were there and one new younger girl. She was kind of still a teenager by her looks. "She must be around 16-17 years old."Sienna thought and stared into her beautiful face, which seemed way too familiar. "She looks like Xander!"Sienna thought in shock.
"Queen Sienna, how lovely to meet you," the new girl looked at her cheekily," I'm Keira, King Xander's younger sister! So do you have any news of my brother's whereabouts?" she asked a bit satirically.
"Yes," Sienna nodded."He is strong and well, he was in wetlands with me and now he is training King Mathyas in the Underworld for a month with King Ramse and King Sarcos," she said politely to her.
"Thank you! How is it, that he is there and you are here?" Keira asked provocatively.
"Long story, but he agreed voluntarily."Sienna bit her lips. She could feel Keira do not like her!
"What about that tiger, who trains him, your bodyguard, Lord Ziran, is he there too?"Keira asked nonchalantly.
"No, he is here. He is waiting for me outside."Sienna nodded.
"Really?"Keira's eyes lit up. "Well, we should hang out a bit then after dance class!" she nodded.
"If you like."Sienna smiled politely.
Amara and Zeldya came to Sienna and hugged her."We did not see you for ages!" They smiled sweetly.
"Twidalli is not here anymore. She found a new scorpion mate and went to live in Sand City. She is now covered in gold. Her new mate is a goldsmith." Amara chuckled.
"I'm happy for her."Sienna smiled.
"You must tell us everything!"Zeldya looked at her.
Just then Rosella called them."Time to dance!" They all rushed to the mirrored training room. The musicians were there already and started to play at Rosella's order.
Sienna listened to the soft music and relaxed a bit, she did her dance moves and felt happy in her heart again. The music was fast and the rhythm was body-warming. Sienna smiled and forget about everything! She danced immersed in the music.
Rosella stared at her critically. The sensual energy was seeping from Sienna's being more than from her movements!
"Sienna, your technique is a bit better and your expression is very happy and seductive when you dance."She nodded. "It is good, it can hide your occasionally lousy movements if everyone just stares at your face." She said satirically.
"Keira, you have a talent, your moves are smooth and elegant, but your face looks like you want to kill someone. Loosen up a bit. You can't create a nice atmosphere with an angry face." Rosella pointed to Keira.
" Well, I surely like to kill someone here." Keira chuckled in her mind and glanced at Sienna!
"Amara and Zeldya you are progressing just fine. You come to your lessons as you should and practise at home too. You are my good students." Rosella nodded satisfied.
" At least with someone she is happy!" Sienna chuckled in her mind. She looked at herself in the mirror." I look ok when I dance. I dance for myself anyway!" she nodded in her head." But learning to do it better doesn't hurt surely. It will be fun! I should be even more seductive and drive Tyrell crazy. He will be my testing man." Sienna chuckled in her mind and kept dancing.
When the lesson finished. Sienna went out and Keira sneaked right behind her. She glanced at the huge Lord Ziran.
"Ziran!" Keira called happily and pushed herself in front of Sienna as she went out of the door quite rudely.
Sienna let Keira pass and watched her in awe as she ran to the burly tiger. "Is she into Lord Ziran? She is way too young for him!" she thought a bit shocked.
Ziran lifted his eyebrows as the rude teenager came to hug him." Princess Keira. Have a good day." He avoided her embrace and went to Sienna.
"Is this all you will tell me? After so long time?"Keira called after Ziran, but he genuinely ignored her.
"You will pay for this, you man-snatcher slut!" Keira mumbled to herself and bit her lips painfully. "Aaw! I'm bleeding now!" she touched her lip. You will pay me for this too!"Keira moaned as she put on her lip balm to salvage her bitten lip.
