Description
King Sinbad is a successful man. He had conquered his first dungeon at age 14 and conquered another 6 in a couple more years. At age 29, he is the ruler of Sindria, a flourishing island located at the Southern Sea. But that wasn't his only achievements: He had also founded several other islands, all of which are enjoying times of peace and prosperity and he is also the leader of the Alliance of the Seven Seas. To his subjects, who happen to be his close friends, he is a laid back and fun loving person, infamous for getting drunk and committing outrageous acts like getting his metal vessels stolen. But to his people, he is a great and honourable king. Among his own friends, he was also admired and respected.
King Sinbad was loved by everyone, but there was a problem. The woman he was absolutely in love with did not return his feelings, much less enjoy his company. But it wasn't always this way. Back during his adventures, he had met [name]. Sure, she wasn't the strongest but she had a strong will and an even stronger sense of justice. Maybe that was why he fell in love in the first place. But he was afraid to confess, so he waited and set goals in his mind. First, to conquer as many dungeons as possible and afterwards, to build Sindria into a beautiful state.
And when he finally plucked the courage up to confess to her, she rejected him. But his worse fears didn't come true and she didn't leave his side. Satisfied that he could at least have her by his side, he tells himself over and over that maybe it was better this way. Maybe it was better if they stayed as friends.
That was until they met Alibaba. He had considered Alibaba to be less than him. Younger, less experienced, little achievements. Yet, she always seemed happy around him, and as they grew closer as friends, so did the jealousy burning in him. There were many times where he wanted to abandon his plan. Who needed them to take over the Kou Empire? Sinbad could finish them off himself. But times were like this was rare and he always cooled himself down before his feelings get the better of him.
Not until he fell into depravity.
The jealousy was more intense, harder to control. Whenever he sees her with someone else, he can't help but burn with jealousy. So when [name] had raised concerns about his sudden sly behavior towards Aladdin and Korguyou, the conversation had ended with [name] being extremely indignant for both Alibaba and Korguyou. The next day, she had left.
With Yamraiha's help, he had tracked her down before she could leave the country.
"Why did you leave?" He asks, voice full of pain that [name] does not quite remember. Being comrades, she thought he had knew him like the back of her hand but at the sight of him, she knew she thought wrong. The pained expression on his face, she was just not used to it. Instead, she chose to look away. Tentatively, he took a few steps towards her until they are so close in the alley, he could touch her.
"Answer me: Why did you go? Am I not good enough for you?" No answer. His grip tightens tightens until it painful, [name] yelps. "Or.. Or is it because of Alibaba? Huh, is it because of that brat? After all that I have done for him, how dare he try to steal you away from me. Why am I not good enough? Why are you always so happy with Alibaba, huh?"
At this accusations of her friend, [name] feels a fire in her heart. She slaps the man across the face, hoping it would wake him up from his state. Breathing heavily, she starts a verbal onslaught. "What do you mean by brat? You are the brat here. He may be younger than you, less experienced but he has a kind heart and he is willing to learn. While you? You have become arrogant from achieving so many great things. That's why I left. To see the world."
Silence. There was a gust of wind blowing past the both of them. King Sinbad stares at [name] and laughs. He laughs and laughs for a long time until he finally stops and say, "That will not be necessary. Stay by my side." It was not a request, it was an order.
"You are not my king." This time, she's the one that gets a slap right across the face. It stings and she can feel tears coming up her eyes.
"You WILL stay by my side. I will make sure of it." That was the last thing she remembers before the world fades to black.

When [name] first wakes up, her head is pounding. When she tries to get up, she finds that her hands are tied to the back and her legs was chained to the wall. Both was tight. Escape was unlikely. She tries to remember the events that take place but everything is a blur. Until a man with purple hair and golden eyes walks into the room.
"Ahh, I see you are finally awake." He says with a smile as he sits beside her on the lavish bed. "Does your head hurt too much?" He says as he rubs the back of her head gently. She whines a little, tears forming in her eyes.
"Sinbad, where am I? And why am I chained to the wall?" Her voice sounds hoarse from lack of use.
"Preventative measures, so that you don't run away again."
"W-What?"
He laughs as he sees the scared expression of [name]'s face and shakes his head, as if talking to a child. "What if you injure yourself by accident? What if you run away to go see Alibaba? I can't take that chance now, can I? After all, you are my Queen now and kings should always take care of their queens right?"
"Q-Queen?" She can feel her blood running cold as the smile on his face grows wider.
"Yes, [name], you are my queen. We're married now. Sindria has been celebrating our union for days already, but you have been sleeping for a while. Don't worry though. From now on, we will always be together. I'll take care of you. So don't look like that. We're still having our honeymoon after all."
[name] can feel her heart dropping as he closes the distance between them, kissing her with all his might. To the whole of Sindria, she was a lucky woman privileged to marry the successful man singlehandedly responsible for the founding of Sindria. They couldn't see the depravity behind the man as he kisses her with a new found ferocity. Upon the realization she was all alone and running away was no longer an option, she submits herself to the kiss and his manipulative love.
