[Hiatus] A Hundred Nights in Sindria

Conflict of Interest

The day after the Maharajan Festival I woke up in my room. I had the weirdest dream of having kissed Sinbad in the gardens which totally would and should never happen.

"Good morning, your highness." Said my servants.

I nodded in acknowledgement.

"How was the festival, your highness? You seemed to have enjoyed yourself too much that you fell asleep in the gardens."

"I fell asleep? In the gardens?" I asked confused.

"Yes, your highness. His majesty, king Sinbad carried you back here and told us what happen-"

"SINBAD WHAT?!" I exclaimed. Was that a dream? It was a dream, wasn't it? What the hell am I gonna do if it wasn't?! Should I ask him? Never!! I'd rather die!! Or kill him and erase the evidence!! Aaargh! What am I gonna do?!!

"Your highness, we've prepared your bath. Today, you schedule the 'Husband Candidate Hunting' program to commence. We better hurry." My 2 servants hurried me along not knowing the problem bothering my mind.

[ In the Training Grounds ]

I've been hiding from Sinbad ever since morning, it was quite easy since Ja'far was still punishing him with paper works. I stood with my two servants by a balcony overlooking the open training grounds. I figured it was high time I chose a candidate for a husband before I made another serious mistake.

"How about that person training his archery, your highness?" My servant pointed towards the open area where a man was hitting bull's eye one after another. But then I thought he was shorter and skinnier than him.

"Too short and too skinny."

"How about the bald one with the axe, your highness?" I looked over where she was pointing at and saw a gaint-like man holding an axe over his shoulder. He was taller and bulkier than him but not bigger than Hinahoho.

"Too bulky and not enough hair."

Both of my servants sighed at my response. We've been looking for about an hour now and I haven't pointed out someone who caught my attention. They were doing all the picking and I was doing all the rejecting.

"If you would indulge us, your highness. What exactly are you looking for in choosing a partner?"

I thought for a moment and a surge of descriptive words connecting to him flooded my mind. "Umm...Taller than me, moderately muscular, long hair if possible..." I was getting caught up in describing him that it was making me feel all giddy.

"Long purple hair if I'm not mistaken, your highness?"

"Yes, yes, that would be perfect!"

Both of my servants let out giggles. I blushed, realizing what I had just said. I let out a sad sigh. My servants looked concerned. I was thinking that it was impossible for both Sinbad and I to actually be together since Sinbad would never let Kou get a hold of Sindria.

"Your highness, how about that blonde teen practicing his swordsmanship?"

"Hmmm, don't you think he's a bit too young for her highness?" I looked over at the figure and realized it was Alibaba.

"That person is Balbadd's 3rd prince. He's not a good option anymore." I said finishing with a sigh.

"Oh! Isn't that princess Kougyoku?" I looked at where Alibaba was. Kougyoku suddenly Djinn equipped and it seemed like she was asking Alibaba to do the same but the latter was refusing. Suddenly, Sinbad appeared and Kougyoku released her Djinn equip.
