Council's Decison
Camius was the type of pragmatic person who thought it was far better to face one's problem head-on rather than burying one's head in the sand like an ostrich and wishing it would go away.
While for Cambyses, she found herself in a bind.
The nineteen-year-old could either accept Camius's analysis and act accordingly and take on a huge burden of responsibility.
Or she could dismiss them as being unsubstantiated and take the easy route.
And she found herself oscillating between the two.
Now this might seem like a weird thing to ponder on as clearly the former was the safer choice.
But there were so many examples of people taking the latter route, the route where the higher authorities rejected their intelligence reports and acted on their own, both this world and Alexander's previous world, that even just listing the names of all such events would be enough to fill a dictionary.
