I knocked on the large door that led to Sinbad's office. He gave me permission to enter with a hearty, "come in!", to which I happily obliged. Rather than tending to the piles of work he had stacked all over the place, he was making a pyramid of cards on his desk.

"Shouldn't you be working, not playing with cards?" I questioned.

"I've already finished my work for today," He gestured towards what looked like the smallest stack of papers with his thumb. "So how did your magical afternoon with Yamraiha go?" He asked as he carefully placed two cards on top of some more to create the second layer from the top.

"It's been postponed. Yamraiha and Sharrkan are fighting, so I have to go back later," I didn't want to risk making the cards collapse, so I decided to stay by the door where I wouldn't be as much of a distraction. "But that's actually kind of why I'm here. I'm going to ask you a question and as my big brother figure and king, I need you to be super duper honest with me, okay?"

Sinbad raised an eyebrow and proceeded to pick up the last two cards to form the tip of the pyramid. "Alright."

"Okay!" I clasped my hands together. "Am I a good b*tch?"

Sinbad suddenly dropped the two cards he was holding over the incomplete pyramid, causing it to come tumbling down. His eyes were wide and his mouth slightly agape as he stared at me in shock, just like Yamraiha. "Where did you learn that word?"

"Um..." I looked at the cards that had now been scattered across his cluttered desk, unsure of why what I said came as such a shock to him. "Sharrkan taught me it."

"Sharrkan? Where is he?" He abruptly stood up from his chair and placed his hands on his desk, looking at me with one of the most serious expressions I have ever seen.

"He's probably still with Yamraiha-" Before I even managed to finish my sentence Sinbad had rushed past me and down the hallway, presumably on his way to see Sharrkan. He had moved so fast that papers were sent flying in the wind. "You didn't answer my question!" I called after him, but he was already too far to hear me.

My shoulders slumped and I frowned. I guess I'll just have to move on to the next person.

My next destination was Ja'far's office. I knocked on the door to announce my presence and walked in before I was given permission or rejected. "Good afternoon, Ja'far!" I greeted

"Oh, hello, __y/n__. I thought you were supposed to be practising your magic with Yamraiha," Ja'far stood at the side of his desk, neatly stacking some papers into a large pile.

"She's busy with something, so I'm going back later. But anyway! I need to ask you something really important!" I blocked the door with my body and spread my arms out as an extra precaution. "And you're not going to run away like Sinbad did!"

He looked at me in confusion. "Why would I try to run? Did Sharrkan put you up to something again?"

"No. Well... Not directly, at least. I just need to ask you about something he said, and I'm blocking the door because I don't want you running away or kicking me out!" I took a breath and looked at him seriously. "Am I a good b*tch?"

Just like Yamraiha and Sinbad, Ja'far stared at me in shock, almost knocking over the pile of papers he was just fixing up. "Excuse me?"

"See! That's exactly how Yamraiha and Sinbad reacted when I asked them!" I pointed at him accusingly. "Why? I just want a simple answer!"

"... You said Sharrkan taught you that word? Let me speak to him," Ja'far completely ignored what I had just said as he left the side of his desk and tried to move me out of the way of the door so that he could go find Sharrkan, but I refused to budge from my spot.

"NO!" I unintentionally shouted, surprising both of us. "I mean... I just want you to answer my question! I'm your b*tch, so you should know! Am I a good one or not?"

Ja'far looked slightly uneasy, almost like he didn't want to answer. "Well... Before I answer, what exactly do you think it means?"

"A loyal follower," I said simply.

"No, that's not what it means," Ja'far sighed and shook his head. "The correct definition is a female dog. It's most commonly used as an insult."

My jaw dropped. "So you mean Sharrkan lied to me AND insulted me?!"

"I believe so. Now do you want me to speak to him?" He asked with a very slight tilt of his head.

"... No, that's okay," I turned around and opened the door. "I've got this one."

Sharrkan's POV

I was still stuck in Yam's spell room. Both she and Sinbad had me backed up in a corner, scolding me relentlessly for teaching __y/n__ the word 'b*tch'. Every time I tried to say something to defend myself, they would only interrupt me and yell louder.

"I didn't mean to-"

"YOU TAUGHT __Y/N__ AN AWFUL WORD!" Yam interrupted me.

"YOU'RE GOING TO RUIN HER INNOCENCE!" Sinbad added on.

I was about to try arguing back again when I heard the door opening. Yam and Sinbad stopped yelling and we all looked over to see __y/n__ enter. She looked mad, but I figured it was because she saw her friend getting harassed. "__y/n__! Thank God! You came back to help me, right?" I smiled in relief.

The frown she had on her face only grew when I said that and her eyes looked like they held a fire. "YOU LIED TO ME AND INSULTED ME! AT THE SAME TIME!" She yelled and stomped over. The smile on my face faded as I realised she wasn't here to help me, she was here to scold me along with the other two.

And just like that, the yelling started again, only this time there were three voices yelling different things at me. I groaned and slid down the wall. This is gonna take a while...

A/N: Another chapter done! I think I miscounted how many requests I have left, because I only have one more left apparently. Hopefully I didn't accidentally delete one when I was fixing up my list :'D

I know, this one is very short and the transitions are very cheap and bad, but I didn't think you'd all want to read about how reader-chan is walking through the hallways over and over again lmao.

Oh, and I drew a picture of Sharrkan to go along with this! I feel like I've been bullying him a bit in this series, so I wanted to do something nice for him haha. You can see the picture up in the media! It's very simple, but I still quite like it~.

Okay... Now I have to start planning for the next chapter. Yes, it will be the request, but I need to plan the events leading up to what I was actually asked to do, so... Wish me luck!
