疑惑と不安 || Sinbad x Reader

||3|| 媛

媛 || Princess.

The day was tiring for the ninth general. 

After the incident that had taken place earlier on in the day, the three of them had decided to head back inside to the palace to let [Y/N] calm down for a bit.

Her swollen eyes revealed that she had been crying for what had seemed to be hours. And even though she had stopped her soft whimpers and sniffles, her breathing was still choppy. Both the sleeve of her robe and the chest area of Sharrkan's garments were soaked with her tears. This left Alibaba restless as he paced around, trying to figure out what had triggered the female's wave of emotions.

The blonde headed teen suddenly came to a halt when he realized that there was a knock at the door of [Y/N]'s room. The student turned towards his mentor who only gave a nod, allowing the younger boy to open the door and allow access for the visitor. 

[Y/N] looked towards the door with her puffy eyes, gazing apathetically at the back of Alibaba's head. She looked down at her hands and nervously nibbled on her bottom lip. The female was terrified, scared of who had came to visit. Surely it couldn't be Sinbad! He was busy with the young girl from earlier anyways. Sinbad wouldn't really want to waste his time on the likes of [Y/N], right?

Wrong.

 "Where is [Y/N]?" Questioned the voice at the door, causing the female that was mentioned to shoot up immediately. It seems that she has finally come to her senses.

Sharrkan looked at his fellow general, confused and worried about whether should would be able to withstand talking to someone in her current state. He didn't voice his concern though, he only helped her sluggish body out of her bed. His hand helped guide her towards the door, assisting her up to where Alibaba stood.

The purple haired man that was standing at the door looked down at his general with concern. His calloused--yet somehow soft--hands came up to caress her cheeks. [Y/N] flinched when his hand came into contact, her swollen eyes beginning to tear up again. Alibaba immediately pulled the older female close to his chest. 

"Sin, I'll take a message for her," Sharrkan said, moving out of the way to let Alibaba take her back to her bed, "She isn't feeling too well currently." 

The king only nodded, his arms crossing as his face contorted into many different displays of emotions. 

"Very well then," replied he, "Tell her to come downstairs when she is feeling better, I want her to meet someone."

"I don't want to go, I'm sure that he'll want me to meet his new partner in bed or something." Stated [Y/N] as she brushed through her hair with a comb her mother had given her when she was young.

Sharrkan raised his eyebrow questioningly as he watched the girl upon her bed. Yamaraiha--who had taken the place of Alibaba--laughed softly while shaking her head. It was unbelievable that the King of Sindria would just outright introduce a F.W.B to his close friend (Or in his eyes, a sibling). 

"Come on, you need to meet this person. They're pretty important for our affairs around the world." Commented Sharrkan as he crossed his arms. 

[Y/N] look towards the other female in the room for some back up. Yamaraiha only shrugged at the helpless girl, turning around with the tray that contained empty tea cups.

"I'll see you in the main hall, [Y/N]."

"Yam!"

Her hand pushed against the door that connected to the Main hall. She was a bit hesitant to go in there, her body was just about to turn around and abort her little mission to come meet the mysterious person until the door was fully opened from behind her. [Y/N] looked up in confusion and practically glared at the new arrival.

There stood Hinahoho, grinning down at the much shorter girl. She growled lowly, wanting so badly just to wipe that grin off of his face. She decided against it though, Sinbad wanted her to get down here to meet someone and that's what she was going to do. As soon as it's over, she'll book it and never return outside.

"Ah, looks like the both of you are finally here." Said Sinbad as he looked towards the door with a wide grin. [Y/N]'s heart soared as she saw that smile, her knees practically going weak as she wobbled towards the group without a word.

She plopped herself down next to Drakon, sighing deeply as she finally saw the pink haired female once again. Her stomach dropped like before, eyes darting around the room to prevent herself form tearing up and thinking of the worst possible.

"Just to make things comfortable for [Y/N], I invited all of you guys to help me introduce Princess Kougyoku to her." Announced the ruler. The pink haired female, Kougyoku, bowed her head towards the ninth general as a form of greeting, raising her head soon after to smile gently.

The Mastinian nodded back at her, forming a soft weak smile back as a show of generosity. 

She's beautiful, [Y/N] thought, I could never compare to her anyways.

Her hair is long and a beautiful shade of dark pink, her eyes twinkle in the sun as if she is some type of goddess and her smile only adds on to her blinding beauty. I can't compare to her at all. She's a princess and I'm just his general. 

"Hello, It's an honor to meet you," began the princess as she got up to walk towards the female that had remained sitting, "I am Ren Kougyoku, the fifth Empress of the Kou Empire." Kougyoku extended her hand elegantly, smiling once more.

[Y/N] look down at her hand and then back up, showcasing yet another fake smile. Her hand extended as well, clasping the other female's soft hand into a shake.

"[L/N], [Y/N]," She replied bluntly, "Pleased to make your acquaintance."

It had been a few days after the meeting with the young princess. [Y/N] had no choice but to be around the said princess due to Sinbad ordering her to keep her company. Apparently Alibaba had been training harder than usual, leaving Kougyoku to be by herself often. 

In such a short amount of time, they became close friends. It was all unexpected to the Mastinian female. After all, she had thought of her as a rival--as someone to stand against--from the very beginning.

There was one thing that bothered the household vessel user though.

She had realized the way that the fifth Empress was looking at the king whenever he was around. Her eyes held something that could only resemble love and adoration. It hurt her to see her swoon over him openly for she had the same feelings for the man on a high level.

She knew that she couldn't stand a chance against her though. Kougyoku stood as an actual potential lover while [Y/N] was stuck as the faux sibling.

[Y/N] would have to give up for now and let the princess have what she wanted anyways. She was still young after all. 

|| Author's Note ||

I apologize for how short that was, it's currently 12:46 AM and I just wanted to write for no reason. I have to sleep because I'm exhausted form the day before (basically today but whatever I don't know).

Also when I first wrote the beginning of this book, I was joking around with my best friend and said "If I get five views, I'll write the next chapter." And I came up on here to check my views and it started going up and I was like "Oof well here comes the next Chapter." 

Anyways I hope you guys are enjoying it so far, I have no plot or idea in mind for any of this.
