About twenty minutes had passed and Sinbad was about to finish signing his papers when suddenly there was a knock at the door. Sinbad turned around to face the two doors and was about to call in whoever was knocking when suddenly, his attention turned to the magi who was now lying down on his bed smiling at him.

Sinbad couldn't help but notice the warmth that started to fill his cheeks as he stared at the female on his bed. She was even still wearing his crown on her head. She seemed to have grown attached to it.

Suddenly, Sinbad's attention turned to the door once more when there was another knock. "Come in!"

Sinbad stood up as Focalor and Zepar entered his room. "Ah, you two. What is it?" "Why didn't you tell us about the festival that's going on during lunch?" "Oh that! I was going to tell you soon but, I guess I forgot." "Too many papers?" "Yeah. Sure." Focalor nodded at the answer and paid no attention as Zepar started to walk towards the bed and stare at the back of the magi that was lying on Sinbad's bed. As if she could tell he was looking, Judal turned around to face the small djinn that was staring at her. "Hello Magi." "Hello Zepar." "What are you doing on Sinbad's bed?" "Lying down."

Sinbad and Focalor's attention turned to the two who had now started their own conversation. "Oh yeah, Judal's our guest for the day." "Why?" "Well I started to consider accepting her offer." "Wait you mean you'd actually consider letting her be queen of Sindria? Are you mad?!" "Well how would you know it's a bad idea?" "Judal is your enemy. You can't trust her." "Says the djinn that groped her earlier without a care in the world." "Well I'm not her enemy you are." "You're just as much her enemy as I am." Focalor made a slight grunting noise at the king as he crossed his arms before turning to the other two people in the room, Sinbad doing the exact same thing a moment later.

"Are you shorter than me?" "I think so." "You're much more powerful though." "Yup." "Cool." "Yeah. It's also cool a person like you has so much power. Magi's are quite strong."

As Judal and Zepar continued to chat, Sinbad and Focalor turned their attention back to one another. "It seems that you and Judal have..." "Bonded?" "I suppose."

Sinbad smiled at Focalor. "Why don't you and Zepar go look for the others and head downstairs. I think they have some food already prepared for the festival." Focalor nodded and turned his attention to Zepar who immediately stopped talking and looked at Focalor. The two of them nodded at Sinbad before leaving the room to find the other two djinn, who were still wandering around the palace doing who knows what.

Once the two djinn left, Sinbad closed the doors to his bedroom and turned his attention back to his guest. "So, there's a festival going on in about half an hour..." "I heard." Judal smiled as she sat up and locked gazes with the king before Sinbad walked to his window and stared at his kingdom. There was a silence that lasted for a moment or two before Sinbad turned his attention back to Judal. "The queen has to look presentable for the occasion you know." "What are you trying to say?" A smile crept onto Sinbad's face. "Well, my servants have had a special part of the palace made to keep all my different clothes, even though I usually just wear my robes. Anyways, since all my clothes didn't fit the entire space, there is another section of the room filled with clothes for the queen of Sindria, if there ever was to be one." "You want me to try on some clothes?" "That's a...Simpler way to put it." "What if the clothes don't fit me? I don't exactly think you've had the clothes meant to fit a woman like me." "We can get someone to adjust them to fit your dimensions. All we need to do right now is try on some clothes."

Judal pondered for a moment before nodding. "Alright then. Let's go." Sinbad walked up to Judal and took her hand as he escorted her out of the room. The two walked down a few corridors before they ended up in front of a room that Judal hadn't seen before. "I didn't show you this on the tour because I didn't really think it was necessary at the time. After all, you're only going to be staying the day." "Right. That makes sense."
