Lien-Da was summoned to the throne room of the palace, she was losing her calm expression for both the Prince and the Sultan were glaring at her.

Well I guess I better explain myself she got down on her knee and bowed to them.

" Lien-Da " the Sultan spoke " when I gave you the rights to keep peace of my kingdom you are to report and captives to me correct" the Sultan spoke.

" Why... Why yes my lord" she spoke not moving from her spot.

" Then why did you sentence a young girl to death before I had a chance to judge her!" the Sultan asked.

Lien-Da blinked, was he referring to that bat? well it didn't matter she's dead and there's nothing they can do about it.

" I do apologise my lord" she spoke " but from my cousin Knuckles he has told me about her thieving ways, how she stole from the market, with crimes like that she had to be..."

" I don't believe you" Shadow spoke up " you're hiding something Lien-Da so you better cut the at and.."

" ENOUGH!" The Sultan cried out. He turn to Lien-Da " From now on no matter what you've here you are to bring prisoners to me before they are sentenced to death" the elder hedgehog spoke " do I make myself clear!"

"Yes my lord it won't happen again" Lien-Da told him, Shadow on the other hand was not convinced.

" It's better not " Shadow hissed at her, making her glare at him. The Sultan took Lien-Da by the hand.

" Now you two" he dragged Shadow by the wrist and placed the echidna's hand into the prince's " let's put this all behind and look towards the future"

" Well I got one thing to say father" Shadow took his hand away form Lien-Da " when I take over I will have the power to get rid of you!" he stated in the echidna's face. then started to walk away.

Lien-Da just chuckle as she watched the Prince leave. " my, my such emotion" she told the Sultan " with passion like that he'll make a great ruler".

" yes " but he need too..." The sultan was about to bring up the subject of marriage but his on was long gone " Shadow!" the black elder hedgehog went after his son.

Lien-Da expression changed from calm to rage " if only i had that Lamp!"

" I will have the power to get rid of you!" a voice called form behind Lien-Da, it was Kragok " gee sis how much longer are you going to kiss their feet.

" Well my dear brother" the two walked out on the balcony, below Shadow was voiding the subject of marriage while the Sultan was trying to reason with him. " it's not till that spoiled brat get himself a wife!" she told him " then were banished.

" or we could be beheaded" Kragok spoke up, this make the twins grasp their neck and make an eww sound.

" Or you can always marry the spoiled brat" the twin brother suggested.

" What!" Lien-Da turned to him. Kragok approached her.

" Hear me out, I know were ten years older than him but were still young... And" he placed a hand on her shoulder " if the Sultan hired you for your good charms, then the prince will have the same reaction... if you know what I mean?" he pointed to the staff.

" Why...Of course" Lien-Da and Kragok walked back inside " marriage, not to mention I 'll have a handsome husband.. while I rule as queen"

" And when the Sultan's not looking" Kragok pretended to hold up a glass in his hand " he'll get poison during the reception".

Lien-da chuckled at his little idea " you amaze me my brother" as she took a seat on the throne. the two twins continued to cackle at the evil scheme they thought of.

Look like Lien-Da is scheming.

The Sultan and Shadow don't know about Kragok so he only appears when they are not around.
