Alexander's Suspicions (Part-3)

After talking and interacting with Lapitus for the last few months, Alexander had come to know the man quite a bit better than from the initial three hour interview back then and felt he was much different than the monster in Lady Felicia's tale.

OF course, there was certainly the possibility that Lapitus was a superb actor who had managed to hoodwink Alexander even during all Athose interactions for all these months.

But that was unlikely.

For Alexander had not come to this conclusion using just one source.

To verify his suspicions, he asked some of Lapitus's officers and subordinates about their boss and they all described him as an upright and frank man.

He then asked some of his family members about him, like his cousins who might hold some jealousy towards the much more established member of their family.

And though some grumbled, calling him petty for not giving them more money, Alexander only snorted at these leeches.
