Temple of Ramuh

Alexander watched the lucky five hundred cheer and get jealous looks from the other eight hundred with nonchalant coldness even after knowing the brutal fate that was to befall the mostly innocent men, women, and children.

He particularly felt bad about the women and especially the young girls as these brutes will pounch on them with hyenas on meek sheep, and tear their dignity to shreds.

Most had never seen girls so beautiful, so fair, so tender, so noble and so sheltered, and under the hands of these brutes, death might be a better alternative for the women than to survive the ordeal and live with the trauma for the rest of their lives.

But although Alexander was certainly moved by the thought of their tragic fate, he remained unmoved about the order.

The palace had to be taken, Amenheratf was most probably there and even if Alexander forbade committing any atrocities he could write it in blood that it would have to effect.
