"Good morning, Father." Ward strikes through the presidential suite. "Merry Christmas. Ho ho ho!"

"Good morning, son." Taym answered back.

"How was your day, dear?" Alb asked as Ward was pushing the shopping cart across the room playfully while sitting right inside of it.

"Well, I'm just doing fine-Mother." Answered Ward.

"It isn't Christmas yet." Vera rolled her eyes.

"Why can't you just act normal for once, Vera." He scuffled. "You're always quiet and shit. Don't you just get bored out of your helpless nature."

"In details lie demons, Ward. Those who speak too much, mess up too much."

"I see. So do you think that I talk too much?"

"No. But I know that you're talkative. You just like engaging in social gatherings."

"We all do." Alb adds. "Except for you. You seem to be more like an introvert."

"She finds more solace in to be like that." Taym clarifies. "Maybe she just gets grumpy at adding too much spices to the conversation."

"Yes, that." Vera is satisfied. She placed the argeela right next to Taym, who hits the smoke right away. Though it was her nature to slay everything around with her sharp attitude, Vera found it much comfortable to regard tasks with easiness and a peace of mind-coming out of her lazy nature. It was literally troublesome to just deal with the others. 

 "Thank you, dear." 

"So what about Shiver, Father?" Ward is confused. Born at the Year of the Rose, he inhibited the powers of the mystical rose-since Taym hid his secretive powers of the jasper's sun surplus inside of him. He had a rosy texture, red hair and green eyes-which he has inherited the latter from his mother.

"What does Ward mean in Arabic, like the lion? Vera teased.

"It means the rose, goddammit." Ward fired back, not getting used to her teasing him about his name.

"He's just fond of his own name." Alb explained. "I'm the one who's named him. Since he'd had this angel texture like the rose with his red hair and gorgeous, luminous green eyes."

"Back to Shiver, Father."

"What about Shiver?" Taym is not clear on the matter yet.

"Who was that lady which everyone spoke of about her misery and her losing her own bodyguard?"

The scene unfolds at Raven and Dragon who were scouting through the woods along with their telescope. "This seems to be interesting." Raven assured, observing the scene through the lense. "It's all clear. We shouldn't be that distanced from the Desert Sultanate.

"I don't think that we're that far either."

"Isn't going to be just fun today. I haven't really enjoyed killing someone that much lately." She clears her throat as she bites on some corn. "Do you want some?"

"No, thanks. I'm full."

"Your Majesty!" The guard interrupts, standing at the door with an urgent message.

"Come in, Benghazi." Taym allowed. "What is it?"

"An urgent message from the Animal Kingdom." The envelope had a seal on it with Tiger's profile stamped in red candle, as to lock the envelope.

"Let's see." He opens the envelope, placing the argeela's pipe aside. "Thank you, Benghazi. You may leave at once." The guard escaped the scene outside of the large bulky red and yellow pine door inside of the black and yellow room, fully equipped with Andalusia furniture colored in dark brown. He stood up at once. "She's at the door!"

Tiger was waiting outside at the terrace of the guest suite when Benghazi knocks the door. "Your Majesty. Sultan Taym is ready to meet you."

"I will be right there. Thank you." Two minutes later, she enters the pather like-shaped guest lounge, colored in black and reddish shade of blue with black shaded French windows.

 "I'm afraid that you're Queen Tiger of the Animal Kingdom?" Taym approached her along with Alb, Vera and Ward-by shaking hands with her. "Nice to meet you."

"Yes. Please call me Tiger." She inhales deeply. "Enchanted."

"These are my wives Sultana Alb and Vera, along with my son Ward." Tiger looks at them by nodding politely in a greeting gesture as they nod back by welcoming her. "I received your message earlier. I'm incredibly sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you during this difficult time." He consoles. Tiger remembers the agony at once and decides to contain herself as she held her own tears within, since has promised Shiver to never cry again and just stay strong. "So it was Raven of the Jewels' Kingdom?"

"Thank you. Additionally, she has cut her mother's head, Queen Emerald, with the guillotine earlier and claimed the power of the throne as well along with her bodyguard-Dragon. And locked her sister, Ruby, at the tower-as she has sent her fiancé, Gerald, to exile on the Island of Fears."

"That witch has carried it so far!" He stiffened with a shock as everyone listened to the conversation immensely. 

"Her atrocious behavior should be prosecuted at once!" Tiger blows some air out of fury.

"Indeed. I am to seek revenge with you, Tiger. Don't you just worry. Shiver was a dear old friend of mine back in the days."

"Thank you, Sultan. I find condolence in your own words."

"It's Taym, Tiger."

"Taym." She smiled faintly. "Thank you again."
