The little bird get caught

 In the turqoise room of Tiger Castle, Sienna had a nice warm bath with her Scorpion King. He gifted her new fruity bubbles potions and make-up eyeshadows, a set of red shades lipglosses and lipsticks and other necessary cosmetics all packed in the cute shiny gemstones pots and Sienna was over the moon with him...it was just waiting for her as they came back! Then the bathroom was heated up and it was so nice to relax in there after the cold air outside...Sienna felt so satisfyingly tired and playful at the same time...this was life!!! The deep bubble-scented relaxation while watching her naked muscular mate was a dream come true...Sarcos even carried her back in his arms romantically after they finished in the maze gazebo, wrapped as a caterpillar in the blanket. Sienna hoped there would be no figurines of "King Sarcos carrying his sex-exhausted Queen" the next day on the market, but she had such a lovely time with him, even this was worth it!"Anyway, Bran said he would check it out... "Sienna thought as she washed her hair and Sarcos helped her to dry it, running the golden strands under his palm and soft hairbrush. The warm fire was lit in her room and she felt so well cared for. This peaceful morning was just a perfect treat to bond together and she fully relished it.

Sienna put on a comfortable warm velvet tunic and watched as Sarcos dressed up in his clothes...He looked so handsome in his light armour of the Scorpion King...Sienna enjoyed watching him a lot!

"Do you want to come with me to see Tyrell?"He asked her as he was ready.

"I just like to finish the crown design." she smiled at him. She was way too tired to run around the corridors with him, he wore her out!

"Sure, my love, I seem to tire you." he bit his lips cheekily. 

"It was so good, "Sienna whispered as he left and Sacos's lips curled up.

Sarcos went to pick up Tyrell and Bran and they went to the garden. They entered the bushy maze. Sarcos was having the nice morning prepared for Sienna for another purpose as well!!! The sneaky Scorpion King watched with a subtle smile as the spy was stuck on the strong glue he spread around the maze!

The young boy, around ten years old, was stuck on the small stone feature pathway with his bare feet! He was unable to run because the stones were too heavy for him...He watched in horror as three huge warriors approached him. He recognized them all."The Tiger King, Scorpion King and Captain Bran!" his mind was racing.

"Good day to you, my Kings and Captain Bran."The boy swallowed his fear and bowed politely.

"Good day to you as well, "Sarcos smiled playfully."So how would you explain yourself? "he looked at him with entertainment.

"I'm just... stuck here!" the boy nodded bravely seeing the Kings were not upset.

"Hm, show me your sketches. "Sarcos reached his hand.

The boy bit his lips worriedly and pulled out a small sketchbook from his shirt.

"It looks nice, you have a talent."Sarcos smiled listing thru the papers and showed the boy's sketches to Tyrell.

Tyrell watched the drawings of Sarcos walking with Sienna smiling, one carrying her out, one on the soft cushions with Sienna holding his hand...and one with a starry black dome...

"What is this?" Tiger King asked the boy firmly.

"I like to draw the best pictures." the boy smiled innocently." The Queen is the most beautiful so I just have to draw her." he nodded eagerly.

"I know what you do! You spy for the figurine artist...you are his son, hm?" Tyrell shook his head...

"Well, my father needs to make money to take care of us." the boy nodded.

"What's your name?"Tyrell crouched to the boy.

"Jace."The boy said. He never dreamt of being caught like this! The Kings were always so distracted with their Queen that they even did not notice him because as a child he did not pose any threat.

"Jace, you are a spy!"Tyrell noted."What am I to do with you, hm?" he looked at the young boy thinking.

"The Queen wanted her spy to be banned from the castle," Bran noted carefully as he tried to help the young boy.

"Banned? "Sarcos shook his head."He will be back sooner till you count to ten." he chuckled.

"It is just a boy."Bran bit his lips.

"Sure, Tyrell noted."Maybe he can work as a page for the Queen instead? Let's ask the Queen if she likes him, as an apprentice."Tyrell suggested.

"For what?"Sarcos asked surprised.

"Drawing? Sienna can draw faster if he helps her."Tyrell said thinking.

"Draw what?"Sarcos looked at Tyrell suspiciously.

"Decorations for towers."Tyrell noted."I wanted to ask her for help as a surprise tonight. You know I need to fix the Southern tower before she finds out."He bit his lips. "I wanted her to decorate it to have a new drawing room there instead." Tyrell made up a good excuse to save the boy and himself.

"Well, you are his King, that is up to you," Sarcos noted and took out a small bottle from his clothes."Don't be scared, it is just an oil."The strong scorpion smiled at the boy and poured the oily liquid onto the boy's bare feet to unstuck him.

"So, I can work for the Queen?" the boy asked with excitement in his eyes.

"Well, first you go with Captain Bran here to wash and dress up and I will go to see your father to ask his consent."Tyrell nodded.

"Thank you, "I will be the best page and apprentice ever." Jace smiled excitedly and went with Bran.

"That was pretty soft..."Sarcos elbowed Tyrell when the boy with Bran left.

"Well, he is just a boy. He did not have a choice if his father sent him."Tyrell nodded."Besides you do not look angry at all." he smirked at Scorpion King.

"It will be good for Sienna to be around children..." Sarcos smiled.

"Sure, and like this we can control what pictures he will send to his father."Tyrell smiled cheekily.

"Look at the sneaky Tiger King."Sarcos shook his head.

"Well, I can't interfere with my subject businesses till they are honest." Tyrell smiled. Tyrell did not really mind his people making figurines of Sienna to sell, but he wanted to make sure they were not upsetting to her. It was viable for the Queen to be popular....and her figurines made people feel closer to her. They felt as if they had known her better.

"Sure, but let's keep the boy with Bran for now. He needs to learn page work first and pass basic fight training. " Sarcos noted.

"Sure, you want to make him a proper page!"Tyrell smiled.

"Anything to make Queen excited to have our children."Sarcos smiled sneakily."Of you go Tyrell!"

"Sure, see you later Sarcos, "Tyrell noted and went to the market. The shopkeeper was apologising and worried for his son but as Tyrell told him, he would employ him as a Queen's page and apprentice, he was so grateful. He was so happy that his son would serve the Queen. He will get fresh intel about her whereabouts and his son will be paid for it!!!

Meanwhile, Sienna drew the finishing touches on her crown design and ate the lunch Bran brought to her. She watched curiously the proud boy holding the tray with her food.

"I'm Jace, I will be your new page, dear Queen."The boy smiled bowing lightly.

"If you complete your training first," Bran replied to the boy firmly.

"He was the spy but he is good at drawing!"Bran whispered to Sienna.

"Awwch!" She held her mouth in a shocked gasp." He is way too young!" she thought shocked. But then she understood that the Kings decided to forgive him, so she smiled at the boy."I hope you will learn well then, "

"Thank you, Bran."She smiled at the eagle and let them go. She was quite pleased that the boy was not punished.

Siena stretched in the bed to read a book when Sarcos came inside.

"My love, "Sienna closed the book about Crystals with a quiet fear in her heart and smiled at him.

"You read about crystals?"Sarcos asked surprised.

"Yes," Sienna nodded," I was thinking of adding some blue ones on my crown, "she nodded, coming up with a reasonable explanation..." Actually, I need black ones for scorpion's eyes, blue ones for tiger's eyes, yellow for snake's eyes and icy blue for eagle's eyes..." she bit her lips..." for the crown...and some turqoise ones for decorations all around," she added excitedly. 

"Sounds great."Sarcos seemed to believe her."But there is no need to read the book yourself, you can just have coloured diamonds."He smiled.

"Well, I wanted to know what the stones represent as well, so I do not make a mistake and convey a wrong message, "she bit her lips worriedly.

"Aha...so you want everything to be right."Sarcos smiled," Sure, what do you want your crown to represent?" he asked her a little surprised by her thoughtfulness.

"Love, mercy, kindness, trust, strength, "Sienna counted on her fingers, thinking hard and remembering what some stones in the book meant. She had to be convincing so the Crystal Pincer would not suspect her of anything!

"What about justice, protection and generosity?" he asked her curiously.

"I do not have that much of those to give..." she bit her lips worriedly.

"Sure you have, that is my job, strength as well," he nodded..."Have no worries, my Queen, I will make sure your crown embodies all this and more..." he smiled reassuringly.

"Thank you, my love." she kissed his lips gently."Here is the design, "she gave him the paper." With my head measurements." she bit her lips.

"It is very nice, well done my talented Queen."Sarcos smiled proudly at her.

"But make a matching pendant, brooch, ring and bracelet too, hm?" Sarcos smiled."Keep this for now and Tyrell will take it to the goldsmith. "he noted. "When you have the accessories ready," he added caringly. This was a great way to keep her busy!

"Aw, I was thinking you take it to Sand City," Sienna said curiously.

"No need, the goldsmith here is very good and he helped us a few times, he deserves the privilege to make crown for my Queen." Sarcos smiled softly.

"What about the goldsmith in Sand City? Will they not be upset?"Sienna asked curiously."Maybe we should split the crown and have each Crown City Goldsmith do their King's emblem."She bit her lips. She did not want to make anyone feel remorseful.

"That is a good idea."Sarcos nodded."I will have made you four crows then. One in each city, so you do not need to carry it." he smiled.

"That is fair," Sienna smiled."Thank you." she kissed Sarcos's lips gently,

 but he lifted her into his arms like a doll and hugged her tightly."You are my life." he kissed her lips. Sienna circled his neck with her arms and kissed him passionately. She expected he would continue for a while but Sarcos stopped and kissed her forehead instead.

"What happened?"She asked dazed from his hot kisses.

"I need to go, my love," he said nuzzling her face closely.

"Aww, you are not staying tonight?"Sienna looked at him disappointed.

"No, I came to farewell you. I need to practise the powers. I will see you in two days again..." he smiled secretly happy she would miss him.

"At the red moon?"Sienna asked curiously.

"Yes, we can watch it together, in Sand City. I will come to pick you up and take you for myself to keep you in my Sand City Castle for my whole long week." he kissed her lips passionately." And design some nice nightgowns for yourself, I intend to keep you busy this winter." he smiled.

"Ok, Sienna nodded."Have a good power taming and I will see you soon. When you come here!" she smiled and kissed his lips again. Sarcos nodded and left the room. Sienna stood by the window. She watched Sarcos's burly figure leave the castle and was worried. Her strongest mate is not by himself...

"What's wrong, Sienna?"Tyrell entered Sienna's room and was surprised to see her watching from the open window. The cold wind moved her hair softly. She seemed a bit tearful but the tears were dried in the wind. Tyrell hugged her from behind.

"Do not worry my love, we will do everything we can to help him." he bit his lips.

"I'm so scared."Sienna sighed."Every time he leaves I worry he will never come back. That he will change into that cruel Crystal Emperor and have us all sacrificed to his Butterfly Queen." she bit her lips.

"Shh, silly. It is not for sure yet, we need to see if Crystal Pincer is the Crystal Emperor first."Tyrell said seriously.

"Yes, we need to ask your mother about that story."Sienna nodded."When do you think we can go?"She asked hopefully. She wanted to use the time without Sarcos to help him as much as she could. And she needed to find out how the story ended. The sooner the better!

"We can go to see my parents tomorrow. Do not be sad..."Tyrell kissed the top of her head caringly.

"Really? That will be so great."Sienna smiled. "I can talk to his mother and find out what I can."She bit her lips thinking. The colourful book appeared in her mind. "The pages are still to be finished." Sienna thought and felt like a snail, and that it was taking her too long." But I better not go there when Sarcos is here..." she bit her lips. "I need to be more careful and make better excuses in case he finds me out..." she sighed in her mind but then she remembered her new page.

"Tyrell, thank you for the boy." she smiled at her Tiger King.

"He and Bran will help you draw, hm?" he kissed her forehead caringly.

"Thank you. You are so amazing my love."Sienna smiled at Tyrell and pressed her body harder into his embrace. She was excited but was worried as well..."How would Tyrell's family accept me?" she thought when he picked her up and took her to bed resolutely!
