Noble Negotiations (Part-3)

Lord Bahrim might have actually tried something if not for the strict quarantine Alexander had set for himself using his bodyguards.

But since he had, the lord could only swallow his grievance for the time.

And then instead of getting into the nitty gritty of who was the aggressor, Alexander or them, Lord Bahram diverted the topic to the thing they were here for.

But Alexander did not seem interested in such an exchange and so only replied in a sharp, angry tone, "Ransom? Why should I accept a ransom? So that you can take your men, rest and recuperate, build up your forces for a later time, and then try again a few years later? Why should I accept such a dumb deal?"
