Cambyses's Struggle (Part-2)
"Esteemed lady, my lords, His Majesty is a generous and benevolent lord."
"He will not treat you unjustly. Please accept it!"
"I strongly urge you!"
This loud pronouncement was made by the peace delegate whom Perseus had sent, with the man being met in the hall room of Alexander's manor in the presence of Cambyses and the other council members, where he read out the terms Tibias was willing to offer.
Which basically said that Tibias was willing to spare the city and its inhabitants, and allow safe to anyone who wanted to leave if they surrendered the city.
"Hmm, I remember the last time it was a man named Leosydas. Where is he?" Sitting at the head of the table, a place where Alexander usually sat, was a stone-faced, somber Cambysis, who asked so very coldly.
In fact, the words sounded more like she was making an observation rather than an actual inquiry.
