Wow, re made chapter 4! Thank you lady black mage
Kyra felt a poke on her cheek shortly followed by a giggle she tried to ignore it. Poke…giggle…poke...giggle…poke poke giggle.
"Boys stop it." Kyra said bluntly, throwing the blankets over her head.
"You said you'll take us into town get up!" 7-year-old Lion-O said, shaking her.
"And a promise is a promise; your very words if I remember correctly." Tygra said.
Kyra sat up looking straight…no, more like glaring straight at the tiger. "You're too smart for a 10-year-old you know."
Tygra smirked at her, putting his hands behind him and rocking gently back and forth on his heels.
Lion-O and Tygra had a staring contest with Kyra for a good 5 seconds before she finally said, "Fine but go get dressed!"
"But we are dressed!" Lion-O and Tygra both said in unison
"You call that dressed? You look like you just got out of bed."
"But we did." Tygra said, eyes narrowing. Kyra growled.
"What I'm trying to say is you look like street rats. Now get out and go get dressed like princes should!" she pointed at the door and they scrambled out.
Running a hand through her hair, she sighed, mumbling to herself "Why, oh whydid I say yes to this? Oh great ancestors, is this your form of punishment for something?"
When they got into the richer part of town, the only place she could take them with permission, she asked, "Tell me: why do you want to come here again?"
Lion-O went dead silent and Tygra pinched him before saying, "You know, a new change of scenery and stuff."
Kyra raised an eyebrow.
"And what kind of "stuff" are you talking about, my prince?"
"Oh, you know…getting to see how your subjects live…um, oh! Meeting new people and school stuff!" Tygra said. Kyra caught his hesitation but didn't say anything.
Soon her suspicions were gone; the day was uneventful, almost perfect…which was getting on her nerves.
Kyra was reviewing the day's events in her head trying to figure if the boys did something without her notice. Well…They woke her up like normal constant poking and giggling; Lion-o and Tygra both were wearing heavy cloaks; Lion-o refused to take off the cloak that day, even though it was summer; Tygra hesitated when she asked what they were doing in town; Tygra was pulling her to different shops, giving her no breather; Lion-o wanted to go home all of the sudden for no reason at all.
Damn! Kyra shot into the boys' room, not that far down the hall, and opened the door ignoring the guards.
"Hi, Kyra." Tygra said, waving sweetly.
"Where's the pet." Kyra said bluntly, holding out her hand as if demanding he gave over whatever they brought back.
"What pet?" he said, looking confused. Too smart for his own good.
"Fine, if you won't tell me, I'll go find it myself." She walked around the room, pushing things aside, looking under beds, digging in drawers. After she seemed have searched every part of the room ,Tygra had a smile on his face.
Of course, it quickly vanished when she opened the secret compartment in the boy's room.
"How did you know about that?"
"I'm your nanny, I know everything!"
When she walked into the small room she saw Lion-O playing with a small Snarf.
Lion-O instantly stopped what he was doing and grabbed onto her leg with an iron grip.
"Please let me keep it please don't tell dad please!" Kyra ignored the rather light lion clinging to her led and walked over to the Snarf, picking it up by the scruff of its neck.
It was young, barely a few weeks old she figured. It stared back at her eyes green eyes full of fear.
"If you get rid of it, it's gonna die." Tygra said quickly, trying to back up his brother. He knew Kyra had a soft spot for cute things.
"Fine! You can keep it but if your father finds out—"
"He won't, we promise!" both boys said in unison. Kyra handed the Snarf to Lion-O, who put it in a small basket.
"Why do I say yes to these things for you?" Kyra said, running a hand through Tygra's hair. He was about to answer but a familiar voice called out.
"Kyra, the guards said you came rushing in here, is everything alright?"
At that moment Kyra's hair stood on end. She and Tygra looked at each other quickly and shot out of the secret room. Tygra cracked the hidden entrance as Kyra distracted the king.
"Oh, hello my king! Everything's fine! I just thought the boy forgot to um…brush their teeth. Yes! I wanted to make sure they brushed their teeth." Tygra looked slowly over with a look.
"Did you?" she asked. Tygra stared at her with the you-got-to-be-kidding look before he caught on.
"Oh no, I should go do that right, Lion-O?"
Lion-O nodded and they both ran off. Kyra wondered slightly on when Lion-O left the secret room.
When she turned around, Claudus was giving her a look just like Tygra's.
"What? Clean teeth means no dentist, and you know where that goes if they get teeth pulled." Claudus slowly nodded, still giving her a concerned looked before walking off.
"I'm not doing that again." Tygra grumbled, wiping his mouth.
"Do you want the dentist to pull your teeth?"Tygra froze.
"I'm gonna go brush again!" Tygra said quickly, running back off, making Kyra laugh and Lion-O wondering what the hell was wrong with his brother.
The following days were just a dangerous game of keep away.
One time Tygra was at dinner and Snarf, which Lion-O insisted calling him, followed Tygra there, and Kyra had to scoop up the small animal before the king saw. Lion-O once had to spend half a day with his father and Snarf was in a small pouch the whole time. Too many narrow escapes to count. Kyra swore they should have been caught by now.
They were caught but thankfully, Snarf had a sort of cuteness charm about him and became the palace pet.
Kyra watched from the back of the room as the boys played with Snarf.
"No more pets!" she said, causing the boys to look at each other.
"Boys?" she said, her voice dangerously low.
"Hey, I have a good idea!" Tygra said to his brother.
"What's that?" Lion-O asked.
"Run!" Tygra shot off, leaving Lion-O behind him.
Lion-o shot after his brother yelling, "Thanks a lot!"
I needed more cuteness...
