Chapter 64 Dont care

• Aabdeen was lost in thought as he walked to the harem. How had he ended up as an errand boy? Worse, he had endangered the life of his sister, thinking that he was protecting her. It wasn't until after he had written and sent that letter that he had made a grave mistake. He had tried every subtle means he knows to get the letter back before it got to Sultan Jamal but his efforts had proved futile. His fear of the Sultan harming his sister as a form of revenge had been confirmed when the general had suggested that she be held captive. His heart had nearly flown out of his chest at that moment and had only relaxed when the Sultan had kicked against such idea vehemently.
• His first mistake had been when he had sent that first letter to threaten the Sultan of Wadai' sultanate. He had counted on the Sultan's bad reputation of being easily angered over everything to help him, but his plan had failed when the Sultan had been looking for other alternatives rather than go to war with his neighboring sultanate. He had thought that if Sultan Jamal had come with his army to besieged them, he would have met the other armies who were trying to destroy his fortress just outside the gate. The two would clash with each other and battled themselves to death. He had been too desperate for a solution to think over his decision well.
• His second mistake had been letting his sister come over here. But at that moment, he had felt like his sister could be well protected over here. And she had been, for the most part. His mind was at peace and he was able to think about the problem at hand. But when he had sent that letter and someone had suggested holding the princess hostage, he knew he had to get his sister out of the Wadai sultanate. The problem now is how to tell his sister about how he planned to sneak her away. Aabdeen knew that she wouldn't be happy about his decision because of the friends she had made here. Even he knew her shy nature and how hard it was for her to make friends. Aabdeen also had the problem of where else he could take her to safeguard her life.
