The strong and majestic Lion King was waiting with his men hidden around the Sand City. The city still looked like partying as if no one cared.
"Lions are best!"Lion King Lionell shook his head. He was a handsome strong man in his forties, with a burly tanned body, amber eyes and dark golden hair. He was extremely proud, vain, playful and cruel at the same time. The lion tribe loved to snatch females because almost all the lions liked the idea of having at least a little harem of females to themselves!
Aiden looked at the proud Lion King with a cheeky smirk. "I saw a lot of females walking on the streets, scorpions will surely have beautiful dancers for their festival. Should I send my eagles to pick them up first?" He asked thinking. He wanted to use mostly lion's soldiers, so he provoked Lionell sneakily.
"My warriors are best at taking females."Lionell chuckled."I will show you how it is done! "he said proudly."We should snatch them and then kill everyone else." he noted.
"Well, you are my honoured guest, I should let you choose first."Aiden nodded politely. The proud lion just got caught in his little trap! "The Sand City is ripe for taking. "Aiden chuckled. They do not even carry many weapons with them, they celebrate their defeat already.Hahahaha."
"Just wait here Aiden, "LionelI licked his lips."I will show you how fast my lions will take over the city. Your eagles can kill the ones who try to escape." he chuckled cruelly.
Meanwhile, quite far in the wild Snake country, the two twin eagles carried Sienna and Ziran fast as the wind. They were rushing, because they wanted to return back to Marco before the fights in Sand City will start!
Sienna watched the green forests, high mountains and clean lakes from the sky. Sharchan's country was wild and beautiful. Sienna already noticed a majestic grey castle in the mountains. Its towers were reaching really high and its fortifications were unusually tall as well. "Who do they fight against?" Sienna was wondering. Sharchan's castle looked like the proper fortress. From afar it was even gloomier than King Aiden's castle, but the closer Sienna came, she could see beautiful geometric gardens from the air.
"Well, at least I will have somewhere nice to walk." she thought excitedly.
The Sea Eagle twins descended down and landed straight at the Snake Castle's spacious atrium with a loud raptor screech to notify the snakes, but there was no one in sight. The castle seemed empty. Not even a guard!
Ziran leapt down from the eagle first, to help Sienna down, but just Sienna slid off the eagle's back and looked around a bit surprised till she saw muscular Sharchan's silhouette coming to her from the door. Her heart fluttered with excitement suddenly. She missed her Snake King so much!
"Have a good flight back and give regards to my king."Sienna sent off the eagles excitedly.
"Stay well, Queen Sienna."The eagles lifted up and get lost in the distance. They were flying fast as they could, to join the fight!
Sienna walked to meet Sharchan excitedly. His burly figure moved with ease. His copper hair blew in the soft wind and his wild yellow eyes shone brightly as if he wanted to eat her. Sienna gulped and stared at him. He looked like a rich king. He wore a red cape, navy embroidered trousers and a white shirt with a golden vest over it. On his feet a dark red leather boots. Sienna never saw him dressed up this much!
"Welcome my beautiful queen, "He welcomed her with open arms. Sienna ran to hug him. She held him in her embrace tightly. She burrowed her head into his strong chest and halted. Something was wrong!
Sienna expected to inhale his intoxicating manly smell but instead, he smelled different."He smells different! "Sienna thought in panic."It is too different!"She did not feel the familiarity at all! Sienna crunched her nose, still hugging him."This is not Sharchan!" she realized in her mind.
"Does he got an evil brother? The one who tried to poison him before? He did not say they look so much alike. They must be twins like those eagles today! I'm in such luck, two sets of twins in one day!" she chuckled bitterly in her mind." In that case, I'm the sweetest pretender, "she smiled and hugged him tighter." I will call him S." she thought.
The evil brother, called S for now, held Sienna in his embrace. He felt her soft breast and sweet scent. His body was reacting to her and he liked this new feeling. Sienna slowly stopped hugging S and looked into his face, it was strikingly like Sharchan's but she noticed very slight changes in expressions. Well, she was an artist and she could see what others can't!
"I missed you so much S. You are even more handsome than I remembered you."She gazed into his eyes and ran her hand through his shiny hair. He definitely took more care of them than wild Sharchan!
"S?" he asked a bit surprised.
"Yes, I always call you like that, is my special name for you, to show you how much I love you. Did you forget already?"She smiled innocently."Tyrell is sending greetings and he is leaving Lord Ziran with me as my bodyguard. I think I want him to do all the chores for me, you know how hard time I have with new people," she kept chatting.
"You don't need a bodyguard with me."Said S.
"But it was your idea," said Sienna."You are my big lazy snake," she cuddled up to him." Ziran is here to do all the hard work, serve me food and protect me. You know how much I enjoy his cooked food. I will be completely starving, if not for his great cooking!" she stared into his eyes lovingly as a little kitten.
S stood dumbstruck..." Cooking?" he asked her a bit shocked.
"I have to hold back for now and find out more about my brother's mate." S sighed in his mind." She is so beautiful. I hope she let me mate her and then I can just take over the kingdom and her as well. Sharchan can hibernate forever..." he thought cheekily.
"Of course, my love."Sienna smiled.
Ziran was dumbstruck too."How can Sienna make all these things up and Sharchan agrees?" Sienna gave Ziran a smile, and he started to see something is off."Sharchan is wearing colourful clothes and his arms are slightly smaller." Ziran thought." His hands are also softer, they do not look like the hands of the hard swordsman anymore. It is not him!" he realized in his mind and looked at Sienna. She looked at him and nodded.
Sienna held S's hand gently." Show me my bedroom S," she smiled.
"Our bedroom, no?" said S excitedly.
"No, my bedroom," Sienna said," You promised I can have a girly space just for me, where I can do my drawing and sewing. I hope you got me lots of pretty fabrics," she smiled.
S was getting overwhelmed. There was nothing in the legacy about females drawing, just sewing dresses. But he remembered the smaller golden bed with turqoise cushions in the golden cage Sharchan made for Sienna before he tricked him, so he decided to move it to the room next door. Apart from the cage. He did not want to scare her."But how do I move it? The queen is here already." he thought frantically.
"My love, my Sienna," he said her name first time sweetly," Let's go kitchen first, you must surely be hungry after such a long journey and I will check on your room, hm?"
"Ok, Sienna nodded. She walked holding his hand thru the stony corridors to the enormous kitchen. It was empty of people too.
"Where is everyone?"Sienna asked curiously.
"They have holidays for this week, I wanted to have privacy with you," he smirked at her.
"That's great, "Sienna smiled." This kitchen is very nice. I will be ok here for now, I'm really hungry. Please, come pick me up, when my room is ready, ok?" she smiled sweetly.
"Sure," S nodded and went up satisfied, she is so easygoing. "If I do this to my mother she would be furious." he sighed in relief quietly as he walked to Sharchan's room.
He came into the big black and gold furnished room and turned over the golden cage on its side. The cage did not have the floor this time, because it was too heavy and impossible for females to lift it up anyway.
S quickly pushed the bed out to the neighbouring room which was almost empty apart from heaps of gold in the corners. It looked clean enough, so after he placed the bed in the middle, he also got her the big mirror, writing table and cabinet with sewing stuff inside and placed it near the window. He just lifted everything how it was and brought it over. He was too lazy to take out the drawers, so he rather carried a heavier load. He was strong enough anyway. He also brought in the big chest with dresses and a vanity table from Sharchan's room.
"It looks quite good for a start!" he nodded satisfied and went to fetch his new queen!
