Chapter 40 - The Nature Of Your New Ally

"Wait, what are you going to do, Enayat?" shouted Arnaud, the chief butler to the butcher.

The butcher of the Ten Trees hills turned in a frown to Arnaud, who continued, "Are you going to throw animal bones in the trash?"

The butcher was very fat and huge, and there was no indication that she was female, even her face had a light moustache and beard. "No, it's going to the dogs' lair," said (Enayat) growling.

"This too is a waste, you will pick out the most beautiful of them, and send them to Mr Solaik."

"And who is this Sulik, the princess's favourite dog?" (Enayat) said sarcastically.

"No comedian, it's her guest... from the sea-jinn."

Enayat's features diminished, her smile quickly faded, and she spat aside in hatred. Humans fear a lot about the sea-jinn, such as their absence of sleep, their long life, and the most horrific: their feeding on animal and human bones!

Thus, the bone meal went to the dismal guest of the princess, under the supervision of (Arnaud) personally, and he wished the sea-jinn warrior a good appetite, and who thanked him for not offering vegetables and fruits, which they call in their culture (humans planting), because it harms their health.

Solaik nibbled on some bones with great ease, the bones were melting inside his mouth as if he were exposing them inside to some burning rays, and while (Amed) kept his eyes on (Noveo), he secretly agreed with (Kazan) to be ready with his flying daggers if the wise intended Upon the resurrection with any treacherous motions, Arch, Fossan, and Farjoud watched anxiously the genie, and the latter sat right next to him, separating him from Wahara, who sat next to Princess Aynur, and Arch seated in order after the genie.

On the other side of the table follows Eynor who is seated at its head, Amed, then Noveo, then the Viscount, then Kazan. As for Fossan, standing right behind Eynur the whole time.

This was psychological pressure on her, as she knew now that Fossan was ready to protect her at any price, even if that price was his life itself.

Solaik asked the princess while they were eating:

"Tell me, Princess (Aynur): Is it proper to put a deadly weapon like the enchanted heroligian seal next to me? Do you think it is normal for this to happen between allies?"

Everyone was amazed because Farjoud was hiding that glazy dagger very well.

And because the voice of the genie was as if it was coming from everywhere.

Farjoud offered a special prayer to (Sehog), the goddess of the sea-jinn, to convince her that he did not harbour evil against the genie, her servant and that the weapon was extracted in self-defence. There was not a single cloud in the sky, but the sign of the acceptance of his prayer was very clear, when a cloud sprouted out of nowhere, covering the sun for a moment, announcing the acceptance of his prayer and allowing him to use the enchanted seal.

The princess asked him:

"Did the goddess Sehog tell you that Farjoud is armed with it?"

"No, and this does not mean detracting from the caution and vigilance of the war-tribe leader, but the enchanted seal cannot be found within two metres of any genie unless he feels severe stomach cramps."

She felt sorry for causing his human form to suffer, but she said with a softness that contained much cunning:

"Forgive me, great warrior, you must accept the nature of your new ally. We must all accept each other's own, for we are faced with wickedness beyond our skill and shrewdness."

He had to beat that colic with another kind of bone, so he took out the pile of human bones, opened it and said:

"If that is the case, then you will also accept my simple nature."

Everyone looked at the human skull that appeared in the midst of the bones of the thoracic cavity which was in his pile, and they gasped, their murmurs subsided, the clown stopped playing, and one of the nobles of the castle lost consciousness, while he ate quietly and amused at the princess's table.
