Sienna looked up to S innocently."A note from Sand City. They won!"She called with relief holding the little note tightly in her palm."Her eyes were glued on the wild eagle. He was her chance to call Marco!
"Ok, let the eagle go then, "S said coldly. That bird reminded him, that she got other mates and he wanted to be with Sienna on his own...
"S, please wait, I like to reply."Sienna stopped him.
"You are too tired..." he noted coldly.
"Yes, exactly, please write just a tiny note for me..." she asked cutely. The plan was forming in her mind fast!"I need a doctor here. I'm not well! My belly hurts a lot, I got horrible cramps, I will need some painkillers... medicine," she looked at him hopefully."Can you please send for my doctor from Sand City?"
" Sure."S nodded. "She looks so cute begging. Having a doctor is a good idea. I will have someone to help me with her." he thought. "To King Sarcos?" he asked carefully.
"No, he is stuck in wetlands."Sienna shook her head." To Rem, his Right Hand, he knows the doctors ."Sienna cringed her face in pain, she just got those strong period craps she despised so much...
"I don't remember any doctor from Sand City," S said carefully." he did not want to be exposed, but was worried because saw she is in pain...
"You never saw him," she said tiredly."It is Sarcos's private doctor."
"Is he young?"S asked suspiciously.
"A bit, but cold as an icy iceberg", Sienna shook her head."He should be a butcher, not a doctor, but he got the talent for both." she nodded."Ahh, I just got another cramp."She cringed her face painfully.
"Ok, I will send the letter for you. Just don't move my love."S said worried and went to fetch the pen and paper from her table. Then he sat next to her on the bed.
Sienna dictated to S what he should write in the letter to Rem;
"To Rem,
Thank you for the victory, keep protecting Sand City. I got my days, so send me that iceberg doctor with loads of medicine, please."
S finished writing and let Sienna just sign it. Then he folded the letter and sent the wild eagle back.
"What now? "he looked at Sienna resting tiredly.
"I'm so hungry, please let's have some breakfast. Do we have any buns and fruits?"Sienna asked. Her empty stomach made those cramps even worse!
"I will check in the kitchen for you."S kissed her forehead and get out of the room.
Sienna smiled at him faintly and closed her eyes. She was thinking...
S felt uncomfortable as he went to the kitchen. He felt weird to leave Sienna alone suddenly. He got somehow used to Ziran guarding her and he started to worry. That eagle startled him." If I'm out of her room and if any bird warrior comes, he could just take her easily! Or that dragon...she got golden hair, blue eyes,... "his face became paler. S looked around his empty castle."If someone wanted to take her from here, it will be quite easy." he mumbled under his nose worriedly. He hurried to the kitchen and got her the fruits and buns. Then he rushed back.
Sienna was still lying with closed eyes, she was almost sleeping. She felt so weak.S touched her hand and she opened her eyes."S, I missed you," she sat up and started to eat. She was really hungry. S was standing over her bed watching her...
"Come, sit down next to me...my love." she touched his hand. She felt vulnerable and weak on her days and needed to feel some warmth. Even from him. She liked him anyway, she just had to get Sharchan out...
"Your hands are so cold."S hissed. He was a bit nervous to see her in such a sorrowful state...
"I'm losing too much blood..." she sighed ..."I feel as if I'm falling apart. It hurts so much.." she moaned a bit.
"Don't think about it. The more you concentrate on the pain, the more you will feel it." he said."Do you want to play chess?" he asked gently.
"Another great piece of advice from a man..."Sienna thought a bit satirically."I'm too tired, maybe in a few days, if I survive..." she sighed."Would you read me some poetry..." she smiled faintly." I will make him work hard for this!" she thought a bit revengefully. S nodded and fetch his favourite book. He sat next to Sienna reading her in his manly voice till she fell asleep tiredly...
S held Sienna's cold hand in his worriedly."I need to get her some more food." he bit his lips. He just wanted her to get better. He missed her happy laughter. When she looked too tired and in pain, he had a hard time accepting it!
S had no idea about cooking, so he went to his library and found one big female recipe book. He rushed to his spacious kitchen and gathered the pots and ingredients. They had some rice, garlic, onions, herbs and raisins left there, so S decided to make sweet rice with raisins.
S felt a little stressed out because he left Sienna on her own again! "Keeping a female is really troublesome. "he thought."They are so fragile and have so many problems and needs..." he shook his head. "They are so sensitive and just fall apart in front of your eyes...You need to be polite, gentle, caring, kind, cook well, have supplies and medicines for them...if I'm not a king, I will be lost." he chuckled nervously."I really don't know how other men do it..." he shook his head."I have to do all this and I still did not even mate properly..."He bit his lips..."I have to make her better and then we will mate..she is so hot."He was thinking and cooking shabbily.
Meanwhile, deep down in the snowy underground room, the coiled copper snake was sleeping tightly. Sharchan was locked in a white freezing dream. He was walking inside the white snowy room, but he did not leave any footprints in the fluffy snow!" What is this! "he raged. The room had no door, and every time he reached for the walls they moved away from his hand. He could not even touch anything! He was walking in circles for what seemed like days, watching the snow falling at him but he was powerless. He did not even feel the snowflakes land on him!
Suddenly, his father appeared from nowhere! "Ah, no!"Sharmut called upset."We both fall for the same trick!"He chuckled in crazy disbelief.
"Why are you here so suddenly?" Sharchan asked his father with furrowed brows. This was just too weird!
"We are hibernating and freezing to death, dear son!" Sharmut said mockingly."We are in our legacy consciousness state now." he tried to explain.
"Can't you go to your own room?"Sharchan got grumpy...he did not like his father's tone. He preferred to freeze by himself...
"We are connected by blood."Sharmut chuckled."We have still some time to spend together here. As the father and the son...It will take some time till we freeze completely to death."
"How long?"Sharchan asked.
"A month."Sharmut nodded."It is a pity...really...I will miss your mother."
"I can't die yet!"Sharchan finally understood what is going on."I have a queen to make lots of babies with!" he called angrily.
"Have no worry, your brother will surely do the job."Sharmut smiled cheekily.
"How could you father?"Sharchan turned to him disappointed...
"You should not free your mother. She belongs to me only...Now you will see how is it to lose your happiness."Sharmut hissed revengefully.
"But you can still see the mother, she even mates with you willingly, "Sharchan noted.
"But I was happier to have her tucked safely in my castle."Sharmut nodded."Now you see how it is."
"My queen will find out, she will come for me."Sharchan bit his lips upset.
"How would she know you are not your brother? You look the same!"Sharmut chuckled coldly.
"She will know, she is clever," Sharchan said confident in his queen.
"Well your brother will surely treat her better than you, she might fall for him." his father taunted him.
"Even if she does, she will still get me!"Sharchan noted.
"You think you are so irresistible..."Sharmut shook his head.
"Sure, I'm!"Sharchan nodded rudely as he normally was.
"But so is your brother! What if she chose him over you?" Sharmut continued to taunt him.
"She is kind, she will come, "Sharchan said.
"If she comes for you, she will freeze to death!" Sharmut noted coldly.
"She does not care for trinkets..only for me..."Sharchan smiled victoriously.
"Every woman cares for trinkets and jewellery!"Sharmut shook his head. His son seemed too confident in his queen and it bugged him. He knew his mate will be not looking for him and it hurted...
"Not my queen."Sharchan nodded, "I will be out soon. Then I will help you too father... Mother still likes you." he said calmly. He started to think about Sienna and felt happy suddenly...
"Do you think she can win over your sneaky brother?"Sharmut lifted his eyebrows.
"Definitely!"Sharchan nodded.
"I'm looking forward to meeting her then," Sharmut grinned. His son was acting like the fool in love suddenly..."She is so clever, but he wanted to hold her in the golden cage...dumb snake he is...."Sharmut thought entertained.
