Alexander had guessed as much the moment he heard the two envoys announce themselves, taking particular note of how they had come together.
Clearly, it was to create a united voice
And the feeling was very much more reinforced by the two's attitudes.
Tibias and Cantagena had paid the price and now were clearly unhappy that their prize was being denied.
And to be fair, that was indeed the original deal between the Adhanian conspirators and the foreign powers.
Pasha Farzah and the Queen Mother had really promised to relinquish control of Zanzan in exchange for removing Alozmer (the former king) and Amenheraft from power.
So one might say the two envoys were in the right here.
But there was a slight catch.
And that catch was that technically it was not Cantagena, or more specifically the Cantagenan general Agapios who had defeated Amenheraft.
And it was the same with Tibias.
