Sinbad and I were invited to stay at Barbarossas villa for the next few days. I was hesitant but tried not to make myself seem suspicious. When we arrived, we were greeted by the maids; Barbarossa gave us a brief history of the house and was guided us to the dining room, which surprised Sinbad and me since the table was full of different food. He then led me to a chair that he pulled out and motioned for me to sit. Once I did we went to the other side of the table, where Sinbad had already sat down.
"So much food," I said with a hint of excitement as I stared at the food.
Barbarossa chuckled and had wine poured in our cups.
"Eat whatever you desire, dear Esra," he then said, I nodded and filled up my plate.
The food was great, and I forgot about my worries for a few moments. I glanced at Sinbad and Barbarossa as they ate and talked. I was amused at how they interacted. I chimed in whenever they asked me anything, but I just kept to myself.
"Esra, what would you like to do, if you become free?" Barbarossa asked suddenly, and I choked on some fruit.
"U-um, well," I began and drank some wine, and took a breath,
"I'm unsure really, I know I'd want to continue my studies of medical herbs and the like, but as for anything else, I don't know," I answered while taking another sip.
He nodded and Sinbad raised an eyebrow but smiled a bit. We continued to enjoy the evening before a maid said it was getting late. I looked at Barbarossa before asking,
"Would it be alright if I got some fruit and water where I'll be sleeping, I wouldn't want to be a bother to the maids and cooks," I said while looking away, keeping up my role.
"Of course, Esra, anything to make you more comfortable here," Barbarossa said and instructed a maid to take my requested items to the room.
Once we were done, we left the dining room, and Barbarossa led us to the rooms. We stopped in front of a door, and opened it; he motioned for me to enter, I hesitantly looked around and was surprised how homey it was. It had a feminine look to it, which eased me a bit, and I saw a good-sized platter of an arrangement of fruit, and instead of water, wine. I looked back and smiled,
"Thank you for the room and my small request," I said, he nodded,
"Sleep well dear Esra," he said, and Sinbad stood in the door,
"Good night Sinbad," I said with a shy smile,
"Good night, (y/n)" he whispered the last part, and I blushed a bit before I closed the door once he left.
I sighed in relief and went to the open chest at the edge of the bed. I rummaged through it and found a nightshirt. Once putting it on, I relaxed and looked around the room some more. Nothing seemed out of place, and I flopped onto the bed, stretching out. A sigh left me, and I stared at the ceiling.
