Market Visit (Part-2)
Alexander had some of his bodyguards go in front of him to clear the way, and the group then proceeded to walk into the square center and observe the bustling market.
"Ahh, today is a Thursday. That's why it's so crowded,"
And looking at the heavy crowd present, Alexander reminded himself that it was the weekend, which meant most workers had the day off or reduced work as they offered prayers or sacrifices at the temples in the morning.
In fact, this was happening around the time Alexander was visiting the central district, which was why the group had avoided that congested part of the town for now, even though Pasha Farzah had wanted to see the temple his granddaughters were working in.
Instead, Alexander had promised to let him meet them on their return trip.
And for now, urged the pasha to enjoy this foreign market.
