Kapitel 315: The New Joke

In the turquoise room of Crystal Castle, shocked Sienna was watching Sharchan's jealous outburst.

"Bran is helping me to draw..." she said to Sharchan trying to ease him." He is good at copying buildings, even better than me," she nodded approvingly.

"You are the best in everything!"Sharchan hissed...

"Well, look by yourself! His work is good, so if he helps me like this, I will be finished earlier and have more time for you..." she smiled alluringly.

"Hm! That sounds good!" Sharchan finally nodded," So where are you off to?" he burrowed his brows as Sienna stood up and went to pick up her blue velvet cape.

"We need to go to the market to buy some inks. "She bit her lips and glanced at Bran.

"I will take you!"Sharchan nodded.

"But Bran knows which ones, "Sienna added.

"The book drawing ones, no, Bran?"Sharchan asked him firmly,

"Yes," the eagle nodded. He decided not to provoke Sienna's jealous mate. His only goal was to help her out, protect her and keep her happy.

"Good, so keep working and I will take my Queen for a walk."Sharchan grinned.

"Sure."Bran nodded. He did not mind till it will help Sienna.

"Thank you so much, Bran."Sienna waved him goodbye as she left clenched into Sharchan's strong arm.

"Do you like him?"Sharchan asked Sienna outside.

"Who?"Sienna asked

"Bran."Sharchan hissed.

"Sure, as my friend and bodyguard. He is very helpful."She nodded.

"Not more than that?"Sharchan asked suspiciously.

"That is reserved for you, Tyrell, Sarcos and Marco." She smiled. "You are more than enough for me."She giggled.

"Hm, but am I by myself not enough for you?"He asked biting his lips upset. He felt so remorseful about letting her slip through his coils at that waterfall...

"Yes, you are way too much sometimes..."Sienna chuckled and hugged his shoulders playfully.

"I'm the best, no?" he circled her waist to his body tight as they walked by narrow streets down the castle stairs...

"Sure, you are all best in something, and you know what you can do the best." she glanced at him blushing.

"Sure I know!"Sharchan grinned satisfied and calmed down.

Sienna breathed out in relief and held his hand happily as they went to market. She was excited to buy colourful inks to paint the copy of the book. The market was very busy that afternoon and the people passing around them looked unusually cheerful. They kept smirking at Sienna and everyone who glanced at her made a kind of little salute with their hands, touching their hands together in a cheeky bow...

Sienna was surprised to see the people in such a good mood. She felt as if something must be going on to get that much attention, but she held onto Sharchan's hand and walked between the stalls. Suddenly, she heard a shopkeeper calling loudly; "The new"Sweet Queen" figure of our lovely Queen..."The group of people was gathering there and Sienna pulled Sharchan curiously to check it out.

"It is a great gift for all lovers, young or old couples, to ignite the passion again!" the shopkeeper kept calling aloud and people kept flocking and chuckling...

Sienna pushed through with Sharchan and watched in shock as the figures of her covered in Sharchan's cape, inside of a golden cage, sitting on top of Snake King's waist while having sex were gracing the stall! It was hundreds of them there and people kept buying them eagerly, glancing at her with a sweet smile...

Sienna watched the small figure of herself inside the Sharchan's cape and bit her lips. It was so clear what they were doing even nothing indecent was visible!

"Good day, my Queen." the shopkeeper smiled cheekily..." Would you like my new figure duo to ignite the passion even more?" he asked politely.

"This is not funny..."Sienna shook her head.

"Well, the new joke is." The shopkeeper's petite mate came over from the neighbouring stall. She was still selling the Sienna's like dolls and now added even the little mazes made of freshly cut hedge bush twigs...

"What joke?"Sienna asked with furrowed brows.

The young black-haired female bit her lips and glanced at Sharchan, but as she saw Sienna was waiting for it, she asked her."Hey, would you like to walk in the garden? "

"What garden?" Sienna asked surprised.

"Your private garden! Haha." the female chuckled.

"What...?"Sienna furrowed her brows confused.

"That was the joke..." the shopkeeper's mate noted satirically.

"It goes with the figurine so well."The shopkeeper smiled proudly.

"So ridiculous..."Sienna shook her head and wanted to leave. She glanced at Sharchan but he was staring at the figures probably imagining Sienna on top of him again!

"Don't be upset. It does not look entirely like you!" Sharchan noted coldly." You have bigger breasts, much better!" he licked his lips glancing at her and walked away as if nothing happened pulling her with him firmly...Sienna stared at him speechless. "How can he be so cold?"But then she understood there was no point in being upset at people..." Well, at least they have fun..." she bit her lips bitterly...She knew it would be forgotten at some point and she did not do anything wrong. They were hiding in the maze! "The person who exposed us should be ashamed..."Sienna nodded in her mind...She was quite glad there were no cameras in there!!!

Sienna rather bought the colourful inks fast and Sharchan took her back to the castle. She was a bit upset inside but he just circled her waist and did not say anything to her...

Tyrell was waiting in the atrium for them. He was talking to Bran quietly."What happened...?" Tyrell glanced at upset Sienna.

"Your people are too nosy. You have an informant in the castle spying on the Queen and I do not like it!"Sharchan hissed.

"What are you talking about?"Tyrell asked surprised.

"Come, I will explain it to you..."Sharchan left with Tyrell and Bran took Sienna to her room.

"Do not worry about it."Bran looked at Sienna and bit his lips.

"Do you know who it was?"Sienna asked in a bit sulking voice. She was walking the corridors clenched into Bran's arm.

"I will find out for you. But definitely, someone who can fly..."Bran nodded.

"Probably..."Sienna sighed."Or dig the holes underground...the details there would be not visible from the air..." she chuckled bitterly.

"You might be right. I will check it out," he noted.

"Thank you."Sienna nodded."Whoever it was, just send them away from the castle."She bit her lips.

"Sure, my Queen."Bran nodded and let Sienna to her room. Sienna sighed and sat down by her mirror. The reflection of a stunning fairytale-like Queen was in its turqoise frame. She watched her beautiful face, pale skin, long golden hair and blue tiger-like eyes. The dress with golden trinkets around its neckline...and sighed...The memory of the newest figures flashed in front of her eyes suddenly! The figures were not as beautiful as her, Sharchan was right in that. It felt like a mockery. "They think they plaster a blond hair on someone and it represents me straight away! They mocked me! They giggled in my face as if they never had sex outside by themselves!" She thought."This castle is my home, so I did nothing wrong by having my mate in my garden."Sienna was angry. She felt betrayed and upset. She wanted to roar and banish whoever was spying on her and she even felt so let down by Sharchan's coldness about it.

Sienna nibbled some grapes and tried to calm down."What was everything they saw? What everything I have to put up with?"She was raging..."Reignate the relationship...arrgh..." she shook her head in disbelief....and held her reddened cheeks as she felt the anger seeping from her...

"Wait!Sienna!Do not rage, breathe...You have more important matters to do, than worry about gossip and some figures! You do not need to feel bad about it..."She tried to calm herself..."Well, maybe they will be more happy if I do not do anything and if Sharchan levels down their City....if they are so prude..."She thought bitterly..."Yes, she always tried to protect people and now they are making fun of her. All the past hurts and upsetting events appeared in her mind suddenly and she felt it as a big stone in her mind...

"Hey, stoop!"Siena tried to control her invasive thoughts."These are past things! Do not mix it all together! They are not relevant any more...This is not a big problem! What is my problem then? Sarcos is my biggest problem right now with his Crystal Pincer! You stop thinking about it and let's go work!"Sienna gave herself a ferocious look in the mirror and stood up...She walked to the table to check Bran's sketches. He did all the buildings on the few pages she gave him and Sienna smiled satisfied. It made her happier." Bran did not need to do this but wanted to help."Sienna thought."It was so sweet of him. He is always so nice."She nodded in her head.

"Ok, you nosy people, I will forgive you, you do not deserve to take a space in my mind with your silly jokes and games! I have to work on keeping you alive and saving my King," she said to herself. Sienna felt her heart lighter, she smiled and started to draw, this battle was the real deal. To find out how to help Sarcos get rid of Crystal Pincer was the most important thing ever!

Meanwhile, Tyrell with Sharchan went over the market incident and rather redied their trap for Marco, "I'm going to get our little lamb ready for the date."Sharchan chuckled.

"Yes, in the wrong tower!"Tyrell grinned and his brutish White Tiger purred satisfied. This was so lovely day for him. He could mate with Sienna and get final revenge on Marco. He was so excited to kill that eagle...

Sienna was colouring the pictures with her new inks when Sharchan came to her in a good mood. "My love...come get ready." he nudged her gently.

"For what?"Sienna looked at him suspiciously.

"Well, Marco wrote that he is coming tonight. You invited him for a date, no?"Sharchan smiled sneakily.

"Marco!"Sienna gulped...She completely forgot about it and now she will have to mate him after dinner! Her body was sore and she was worried about her way too-strong Eagle suddenly,

"So, you do not want to have a date with him?" Sharchan looked into her frozen face curiously...

"No, it is ok," Sienna shook her head. "Just time is going so fast with you and Tyrell."She smiled gently at him..."

"Well, I did not want to make you sad..."Sharchan touched her cheek gently. His snake was celebrating her grim looks as he talked about Marco.

"I also have so much work," she shook her head a little desperately.

"I know," Sharchan nodded..."I will take you painting there and you can paint as you wait. I made everything ready for you in the northern tower..." he smiled gently. "You know how much Marco needs your soft encouragement." he nuzzled her face softly...

"You are so amazing..."Sienna inhaled his scent. It was so calming and it clouded her mind a little...

"I still can't believe how rough he was with you...so irresponsible..." Sharchan shook his head.

"Yes, that was horrid, but you are right, I will get ready."Sienna smiled at him. She was not suspicious at all, because she could not find a reason why would her strong snake mate encourage her to go date with Marco apart from helping her...

Sharchan helped Sienna gather all her drawing stuff and set her up in the northern tower."You see, you can paint here and wait for your Sea Eagle King...He might be a bit late if he is flying from far, so just use your time." he said caringly."It is better to keep these drawings hidden from Sarcos anyway, in case he will be coming to check on you.." he looked around the tower satisfied and smiled sneakily...

"You are right!" Sienna bit her lips. She did not want Crystal Pincer to find her suspicious...so having the drawings out of her room was a great idea!
