[Sinbad's pov]

Eyes were on me like a hawk to its prey, each one of my generals watching me closely including the other members from Kou. If I slipped up here and now, I'm afraid that a war would break out between Kou and Sindira because of my actions.

I watched as Sara comforted the princess by holding her in her arms, saying comforting things, and rubbing her back ever so gently. All I could do was watch as Sara gave me death glares while hugging the young princess. Even with countless people glaring at me, her eyes hurt me the most.

"Curse you Sinbad for defiling the body of a Kou Empire princess. Dual with me right now! Refuse and I will kill you,  then I too shall die!" She cried as people surrounding us gasped and mumbled.

'Did I do it? I remember absolutely nothing. Would a man known as the conqueror of the Seven Seas do that with a woman while hopelessly intoxicated?' I looked up at the woman holding the princess and remembered the countless other women I slept with. 'Not that it hasn't happened before, but...' As I stood there in thought I watched as the woman I desired hold the princess in her arms, letting her cry into her shoulder, and that's when I took her appearance in.

Sara wore a beautiful blue dress that had three different shades. The main dress was navy and stuck to her body like a glove as gold designs twirled in the fabric. It hugged her curves in all the right places, especially her hips and ass. The top half of the dress pushed her chest up and with the tiny v-neck that was provided, I saw her cleavage. A light royal blue fabric covered her arms and dropped a little due to the size of the sleeves but was held onto her wrist by golden cuffs around her wrists. Last but not least was the thin piece of blue lace that fell from her hips and dragged on the ground as she walked. Her metal vessel decorated her wrists, neck and hips and you could see them now that her hair was in a tight low bun. She looked beautiful standing there before me as she comforted the princess.

"A lewd act by Sindira's king." I was dragged out of my thoughts when Ja'far started to speak. "Followed by a princess's suicide! Leading to war with the Kou Empire!" I imagined my whole country on fire as war broke out over my hard work.

'I-I would never commit such injustice against my people!' I gripped my head and tried to remember what happened that night. 'How could such a thing happen in the first place? I never met the princess during my stay...not once!'

"You know, the more I think about it, the king wasn't drunk at all the entire night." I turned towards Sharrkan with joy in my eyes when he said that. "I only had a sip or two as a courtesy. Afterwards, I headed straight to my bedroom." I replied.

"And we saw that you did," Spartos spoke. "That's right! I went in and fell right to sleep. Like I told you, nothing happened between us!" I smiled as this disagreement could finally be swept under the rug.

"Then tell me, why in the world was I in your room?" I froze before regaining control. "Your Highness, I, unfortunately, have no memory of that ever happening," I replied as I tried to recall what happened that night.

"Then could you please explain why were you naked? Do you have some reason for sleeping with no clothes on?" I nodded to her words with a smile. "It happens quite frequently."  Suddenly, her vessel's sword was held against my throat and I felt cold sweat drip down my face.

"If you're going to insist on playing innocent, then why don't you hear my version of what happened?" She was close to my face and I swallowed my spit. She explained her side of the story and I was conflicted.

"How is that possible?" I heard Sara speak and I glanced at her as she held her chin between her fingers I saw the ruby ring on her ring finger, shining in the noon sun.
