Council meeting (Part-2)

Alexander's foresight regarding this incident would help him gain much political capital four years later when his governance would extend over a much greater area, with more lords under him, with all the veteran lords saying 'The lord can think of things in seconds that we can't think of in years.'

But all these were future events as for now Alexander turned to the next topic of the day, something that was in the department of Grahtos.

"Grahtos, how is Laykash?" He first asked about the brave boy that basically got him the city and thus his position,

"By the grace of the pasha, he is recovering well." Grahtos knew Alexander had a special liking for the boy and so he had always kept a close eye on him, regularly checking up on his health.

He further added, "His bandages are regularly changed to prevent any infection as you commanded and the doctors are confident that he will be able to walk in another month and ride in another further one to two."
