Alexander's Decision

If Alexander knew of Lady Parthia's restraint, he would have likely only chuckled in amusement, finding her over cautiousness funny.

He might have taken these words seriously if it was said by her eldest son, the crown prince, but after getting to know the lady better, in one than one way, Alexander's weariness had greatly subsided.

This was not because he had fallen in love with her or anything, but more so because he found the queen to be not that kind of person. A loving mother and a dutiful wife, Alexander knew she would never risk losing all her remaining family for just a simple chance at more power.

She was simply not that ambitious.

But then again, Alexander also did not think she was as black bellied as she was showing herself to be now.

So perhaps there was more to this mature, ravishingly beautiful woman than meets the eye.

And thus intrigued by those crafty, dark, armorous eyes, he returned to discuss the topic at hand.
