And I won't take 'nothing' as an answer.
" In the raid," Sindbad raised his finger up and Harun frowned. " You recognize that Jaber and I played an important role in saving your soldiers and driving the thieves away temporarily."
" Yes," Harun answered firmly. If there was something about the man Sindbad could use, it would be his justice. He would not wrong a person nor ignore their efforts.
" That then closes our deal."
Harun's eyes widened slightly at that.
Sindbad was no king, nor did he care much for law or justice. He was a merchant, and all he cared about was profit and reaching his goal. Which meant he could worm his way around it freely and bend the rules as long as he could convince Harun.
