After breakfast was finished, they dropped Lottie off at Adele's and made their way towards the castle. They were met by the King and Queen in the throne room.
"Your majesties" began Sinbad. "I am Sinbad and these are my crew"
"THE Sinbad?" asked the Queen.
"Why yes" admitted Sinbad. "We have heard of your reward for mine and Maeve's capture, and we've come to make you an offer."
"I'm listening" smiled the Queen.
"We will be your slaves" sighed Maeve. "If you let all your other slaves go"
"And what makes you think that we need to bargain. Why couldn't we just take you now?" she snided.
"You agree, and our crew shan't attack you, and we shall be good slaves" sighed Sinbad. "We promise to do everything in our power to serve you"
"You've got yourself a deal captain" she smiled. "Hector" she ordered the soldier to her right. "Free the slaves."
"May we say a last goodbye to our friends?" asked Maeve.
"Of course dear" said the King kindly. Maeve nodded and turned around to be embraced by Doubar.
"Oh Tubby" she whispered. "If this doesn't work. I shall miss you"
"Don't talk like that lass" he answered. "Look after Sinbad for me." he smiled before letting her go as she turned to Firouz.
"See ya" she said.
"Bye Maeve." he smiled. "Be careful." she nodded and hugged Rongar. Sinbad hugged Firouz.
"I'm sorry for all the times I doubted and made fun of your gadgets" he smiled. Firouz nodded and let him go.
"Take care Rongar" he whispered. Rongar nodded before he stood in front of Doubar. They held each others gaze before falling into each others embrace.
"Take care Little Brother" whispered Doubar, holding back tears.
"Don't worry, it'll work" he smiled.
"And if it doesn't?"
"Then promise me that you will do all you can to rescue Maeve. Promise me Doubar. At least I'll know she's safe" he sobbed. Doubar let his tears roll.
"Aye Sinbad. I can do that for you. I'll look after the lass" he said.
Sinbad pulled away from Doubar and looked deep into Maeve's eyes. They sent a final good luck to each other before they turned to the Queen.
"Ok. Let us see all the slaves freed, then we are yours" he sighed.
"Just look out the window Captain" she smiled coldly. Sinbad walked over to the window and saw all the slaves running out of the palace gates. He smiled and walked back over to the Queen.
"What would you like me to do for you mam?" he asked whilst bowing. The Queen smiled wickedly as she led Maeve and Sinbad out of the room. Doubar stood as he watched the pair go.
"I hope to Allah they know what their doing" he whispered.
"Yeah" agreed Firouz. "What would we do without them?"
