Conquerer of his Heart (Sinbad Love story)-Magi Adventure of Sinbad/ Magi

Chapter 6:Fame

I never liked sailing, yet sailing with away from you was the pleasure of my life. The sea, the sun, the cry of the birds all melted away - just because I wanted to get away from you. I recall lying on the deck pretending to sleep; I watched every little thing you did when we were younger. But I guess when the fame rolled into your head, you slowly became someone new.

Past

"Teacher, thank you!" yelled Sinbad, "I was approved to join the union and now I'm able to do business in Napolia."

King Rashid Saluja was sipping on some wine while sneaking in glances at yourself was playing around with a peace of hay in your mouth out of boredom from the other table while your date continued to ramble on and on about his profits and day.

"And that's not even the best part!" your date yelled out of excitement.

"You don't say?" you said while resting your head in the palm of your hand.

"Because of Sinbad's theater performances near my stand, business has been booming!" he yelled.

"Its exciting to hear that you used your environment to boost yourself, however, you just told my that you leech off of other hard work and use it to your advantage and that right there is my cue to leave," you continued, "Thanks for the offer of going out with you, but this date was pathetic and I suggest you go and look for another girl."

"W-wait!" your date yelled out of nervousness and sadness.

"As for you Sinbad, from an economic merchant to another, you should stick with what you know," you said heading out, "Send someone when you need me Rashid, I'm going to take a bath at one of the bath houses."

Rashid laughed at your exit as the guy you left pathetically was face planted on the table crying his heart out.

"Everytime..." King Saluja muttered.

"Everytime?" Sinbad asked.

"I can see that you are interested in Salma, right?" King Saluja asked.

"W-Wait a minute..." Sinbad began while his face began to change hue and show tints of pink across his cheek.

"Don't worry," King Saluja reassured while laughing at Sinbad's embarrassing state, "Salma has a lot of suitors after her, considering that she is an extremely rare beauty here, however, she always rejects them by throwing small, clandestine challenges their way and reading their motives."

"Sounds like a-"

"A battle tatic?" King Saluja finished, "It is, but it helps her to weed out those she consider a waste of time, just like that guy."

"So there is no chance of dating her?" Sinbad muttered with no hope.

"There is a chance," King Saluja started, "You actually have a good chance of scoring a date with her."

"I do?"

"You see, if Salma didn't like you she would haven't tolerated being around you for a month while I was gone."

"Huh?"

"She usually gives subtle hints when she likes someone and I have only seen her done it twice, you are the first guy I have witnessed she has done it to. There was a previous guy she had met while we were passing through the Reim Colosseum. It was rumored to be a Fanalis slave."

"How can I win her?!" Sinbad asked out of slight desperation.

"Your shows," King Saluja replied, "That seems to be the common thing that gets Salma to pay attention, especially to a person she is interested in."

"Salma..."

Soon daytime turned into nighttime. To you, Nighttime here was  the best time. It was when the scorching heat surrendered to the onshore breeze and you could be outside without need to cover every inch of your skin. The stars would come as if to welcome you back to these hours of comfort and relaxation. The stadium was lit around and packed with many wealthy residents, even capturing the attention of your own presence. You walked into the area in a salacious blue dress, exposing your mid back. You took your place sitting on the ground while capturing some attention around you but ignoring the gossip to focus on the show that was going to start.

Something about shows that enticed you to go to them and learn more about the back story of them.

Soon the atmosphere began to thicken and snow began to fall.

"Welcome to the world of action-packed adventure!" Sinbad yelled causing everyone to look towards him and wonder on how he was able to get to the top of the colosseum. Soon he pulled his sword causing everyone to panic at first but become amazed by the light that came from his blade, similar to that of small stars in the night sky.

"Tonight, you will hear about the adventure stories of a boy named Sinbad," Sinbad said, "Also, I would like to dedicate this show to the one person who has attended every single one of them...to that person and to everyone else, Enjoy the show to your heart's content."

Your eyes widen as you noticed Sinbad lock eyes with you the moment those words had left his mouth to which you shifted your attention towards the sky to take in the snow falling from the sky and smirking knowing that Rashid had a role in this.

"From witnessing the power of the Dijnn, listening to stories of the Dungeon, and seeing how enthralled this audience was, Sinbad had taken my advice to play," you thought, "This performance was sure set to beat any play or large scale chorus. The mere reputation of it had to have spread all around the corners of Reim. Many will line up and there will be a sold out seat but knowing Sinbad, he will always reserve a seat for me...I guess this is when we began to really fall for one another.

"Sinbad of the Seven Seas...Current King of Sindria" you muttered as your boat halted at the docks near Sindria.
