Kapitel 32: Lurking shadows

Tyrell took Sienna back to the castle, but this time he lead her thru a carved wooden door on the side of a tower. Sienna gasped when she saw the beautiful room. "It is called sala terrena," Tyrell smiled. "It is meant to bring outdoors indoors, is used on hot days to cool off and relax."

Sienna took off her sandals and stepped on the smooth pebble stones floor, it was a bit ticklish for her feet, but she liked the coolness of the stones on her soles. The floors were covered in small colourful pebble stones encased in cement, the walls had small, cave-like structures in them, decorated with potted flowers which climbed around like a beautiful green frame. The rest of the walls and ceiling were painted in turquoise, gold and green with paintings which depicted different animal tribes."Wow is so beautiful!"Sienna stared at it. Tyrell led her to a low table and cushion seating area. Sienna smelled the familiar scent of mushroom rice."Mm, so nice, thank you, my love," she smiled. Tyrell sat her down and start putting a lots of food on her plate. He also got her some fruits and small bread buns."Where did you get these?"Sienna picked a small bun and bite into it. It was soft and crunchy. Reminded her so much of the food she ate in her world. "It is from the market," Tyrell smiled, "it is open every day, so we can go there tomorrow if you wish."

"I love too."Sienna held his hand."Would you eat with me?"No." said Tyrell, "This food will weaken me and I need to be strong for you." he said."Sienna furrowed her brows."When did you last ate Tyrell?"She asked him.

"Before I come to Sharchan for you. "Tyrell shrugged his shoulders. Sienna gave him a horrified look."How can you not eat properly?"

"I will go hunting tonight."He promised to keep her calm.

"Ok my love, please don't starve yourself because you are buried in papers. "Sienna said. Tyrell smiled.He could eat once every 3 days and be fine, but he liked that Sienna was worried about him. It felt like a soothing balm on his soul.

"Is Sharchan coming tomorrow? "Sienna asked.

"Yes, he will be here in the evening." Tyrell said." You missed him?" he asked with a bit of worry in his voice. He was a bit jealous Sharchan got more time to spend with Sienna than him.

"Yes, of course, I'm most happy when you both are near."She whispered.

"It is my fault, I leave you too much alone." Tyrell felt a bit sad.

"You are doing your best. You just got a kingdom to run." Sienna smiled."I do not mind being alone sometimes. I like my sewing or even reading or drawing she said. I will always try to understand you. But I want you to eat properly, sleep next to me and go out as well together." she kissed his cheek. Tyrell looked at her with gratitude and sighted.

"I will have to go back to Magnus," he said."There will be an important delegation coming tomorrow.

"Ok, "said Sienna and kissed his lips. "But I hope you will be coming tonight."

"Will do."Tyrell kissed her hand and gazed into her eyes." Come, I will go with you to our room. Have some rest for tonight," he smirked at her.

Tyrell left Sienna in their bedroom and left to see Magnus. He hated to leave her alone, but he had a kingdom to run and was a man of his word.

Sienna decided to do some sewing as she wanted to make a short dress to wear with Sharchan and Tyrell as well, but she promised it to Sharchan. She smiled and cut the fabric for her short red dress. She decided to make it pretty revealing and smiled about how Sharchan will get crazy when he see her in it. She giggled when she thought about Sharchan's handsome face and muscular body.

The time went fast and the sky darkened. Sienna nibbled some fruits and went for a bath. Then she lay in the bed and fell asleep because Tyrell was still not coming. Sienna thought he was late working with Magnus and then went hunting straight away. She was not upset with him anymore, because she saw how hard he is working for his people.

At night she woke up when a big hand hugged her tightly around her waist. Sienna heard Tyrell talking to her."Kiss me, Sienna."Sienna felt Tyrell's lips on hers so she hugged his neck and pulled him to herself."Tyrell, I missed you. Just be gentle, "She whispered to him. Tyrell kissed her passionately; his hands slid over her tights and lift up her sheer nightgown. He entered her slowly and made the love to her like in a soft dream. Sienna felt like melting with him together and the waves of energy made her mind twirl in colourful waves. She wished it would never stop.

After Sienna fell asleep on his shoulder. Tyrell stared at her a bit, looking at her red swollen lips. Then he carefully placed her head on the pillow, covered her properly with a blanket and went out to hunt.

Two dark shadows watched Tyrell go out from the castle gates with a wicked smile. Then they moved towards Sienna's room. The Tiger King was so sure of himself and did not called any guards to his room. The shades slipped in and looked at sleeping Sienna. She lay on her stomach. Her long blond hair were covering her face, and her shiny white leg was peeking out of the blanket. One of them moved Sienna's hair from her face. He looked at her swollen red lips and beautiful features. He felt his heart pounce loudly in his chest. He bent down to kiss those lips. "I wish we can take her now. "The black shadow sighted." Patience, we don't want to hint the Tyrell that it was someone from his guests" the other shadow, held him back." Don't wake her up. You will have her soon."

"Put some guards in front of her door, I don't want someone else to be faster than us. If we could come in, others will try too," said the black shadow.

"Yes your highness, we can actually use the guards as part of our plan." the other shadow whispered and they both left the room.

The next morning Tyrell was not there again. Sienna sighed. She knew he is working already with Magnus and hoped she will see him for lunch again. She dressed in a silky blue dress, put on her favourite golden snake sandals and brushed her hair. Then she went out of her door to look for some breakfast in the castle kitchen.

She opened the door and backed off because two unfamiliar guards stood there. Sienna ran them up and down with her wide-open eyes. They were not Lord Ziran men. They did not look like burly tiger warriors at all. They were tall, tanned, and had lean muscles like from the steel rings wrapped around their bodies. The black panthers like tattoos were covering their right arms. They got long black hair and shiny black eyes, they reminded her of wild hungry cats. They were wearing black leather attire with shiny black armour covering their shoulders.

When they saw her, they looked at her with an entertained smile." Good day, dear queen Sienna. "one of them said lazily, but Sienna felt a hint of danger in his voice."Lord Tyrell is having a Black Panther delegation today morning, so he is sending you this purse of money to go shopping at the market."The other warrior smiled politely and gave her a neat red leather bag with coins. Sienna furrowed her brows and took the packet.

"Thank you, please tell him, I'm grateful," she said. She was a bit disappointed that he will not come with her, but she tried to understand as he was working hard." Well I can get some breakfast at the market too, maybe they have some fresh bread," she thought excitedly and went out of the castle gates.
