"King Rashid's... Sons...?"

Sera cringed "you're kidding right? You mean to tell me that a handsome man like you produced something... Like that...." She tried her best not to sound rude but failed slightly.

Sinbad's eyes narrowed, then he grabbed the Ahbmad fat and began to pull it. "Are they really your sons? They don't look like you at all," he said.

"That hurts! Quit it!" Yelled Ahbmad.

'They definitely got their mothers looks...' Thought Sera as she sweatdropped when they two continued to fight.

"Sin, quit acting like a child," said Sera.

Sinbad pouted "he started it~" he whined. Sera narrowed her eyes at him in annoyance.

"I won't forgive you!! Grr!!" Yelled Ahbmad, "I'll mother about this!!" Then both began to run away.

" "Mother" must be the queen, huh?" Asked Ja'far.

"I don't know," responded Hina.

"I don't wanna know," commented Sera.

"... Don't worry. This happens all the time. Although, I'm afraid you've witnessed something quite embarrassing.

"I don't know if it's because I left their education to their mother, but somehow, they've turned into little hooligans... It's fine as long as I reign, but it makes my head hurt just thinking about one day leaving this country in the hands of my sons..." He sighed and pressed a hand to his forehead.

"Even I have to put all my effort into maintaining this country. Nobody's perfect. A perfect country doesn't exist either. You must understand that, right?" He asked even though it was more of a rhetorical question.

The king then used Sinbad's homeland, Parthevia, as an example. He proceeded to explain what was going on in Parthevia.

They agreed to sign a cease-fire treaty with Parthevia and the previous emperor passed, much to Sera's pleasure as bad as it sounds, and domestic affairs were passed to the general. Thanks to that general Parthevia has been starting to so well.

"So, before you set out to change the world... I heard that you originally left your country to attain enough power to save it. If that was where you started, I think it would be a good idea to try thinking once more about you want to do, and why you want to build your own country."

After the king said this you all left the castle and found yourselves in front of the slums. Sinbad was busy pondering and looking at the water.

"Sin..." Said Ja'far.

"What should we do now...?" Asked Hinahoho, crossing his arms.

Ja'far thought for a moment "we need to search for land to build a country, but I also want to know what's going on in Parthevia," he said.

The short conversation was interrupted when a kid was shouting from a rooftop. "I got it! I'm king of the mountain!" He yelled.

Sera smiled slightly, it kind of reminded her of the kids back at the company. The smiled soon faded as she looked around at the slums. "Kids... They sure are energetic, huh?" Said Hina.

"Yeah... But..." Ja'far trailed off.

"Slums, right...?"

"I guess places like this really do exist, despite the fact that Balbadd is flourishing with trade. Just as king Rashid said, building a county and maintaining it won't be a simple task," said Ja'far.

Sinbad clenched his fist and turned to them with a smile, "I've made up my mind!" He said triumphantly.

"What's most important is that Parthevia has become a peaceful country. We were not aware of the situation except for what we heard from Drakon about general Barbarossa's coup d'etat, but it seems like he may not be merely a villain without a plan."

Sinbad then told them not to speak of this information to Drakon and the others. He also sounded relieved to hear the war was over, despite that, he was upset to say that countries won't change and organizations that promote injustice.

"I said I'd start by saving my home country, but... I'm not about to stand in the way of my own progress," he said.

He smiled "besides... There's a new adventure on the dark continent is waiting for me!"

His calm demeanor then turned to an excited one. "I wonder what this wild, untouched land will be like?! Can we build our own country there?!!"

He then grabbed Sera's hand, "what's it like there, Sera?!" He asked, assuming she had traveled there before.

"How should I know?! I've never been there! Let go of my hand!" She yelled, ripping her hand out of his hold.

"Good grief..." Muttered Ja'far.

"Our next destination is the dark continent! Let's go find our own nation!!" Yelled Sinbad. Sera smiled and thought he was way too excited.

Sera nudged Hina and he knelt down, "how much you wanna bet he's gonna slack on his work when he becomes king?" She asked, smirking.

He smirked and chuckled "you're on." The two shook hands, sealing the deal.
