Swearing Ceremony (Part-2)

With Cambyses turning many heads and even drawing some muttered jealous curses, Alexander went ahead to first greet the highest nobles there, PF, the Queen Mother, and Lady Inayah.

And then all the twenty-four nobles there.

Here, he also met many of the families of the nobles, many of whom were specially called to attend this ceremony from their fiefdoms.

In fact, this was another reason that some of the nobles requested the ceremony be delayed to this degree.

Because they wanted their family members- sons, wives, and daughters to attend the meeting and get to know Alexander.

And while for some this was purely intended as a social courtesy, for a few others, they were clearly fishing.

Fishing for benefits by betting on the fact that Alexander might take a fancy to one of their daughters.

Or sons.

The nobles would not judges

Or even their wives and concubines for that matter if it fits Alexander's taste.
