Alexander was informed about Lady Felicia's arrival as he had just finished having breakfast.
'Well that was fast,' And upon receiving it, the very initial thought was this.
He only had the talks with Lapitus just last night, not even twelve hours from now.
So although Lapitus had promised he would send his family as soon as possible, the speed appeared certainly very impressive to Alexander.
And this to him seemed to say that Lapitus was ready to launch his attack at any time, hence the urgency.
Alexander asked the herald to help make the lady as comfortable as possible in her new dwelling while he spent the morning in meetings with his generals, informing them of the defector's visit and the subsequent changes to the plan.
And it was only mid-afternoon that he invited the lady to come to his tent for lunch.
"Greetings, esteemed Lord of Zanzan, conqueror of Thesalie. We are humbled to be in your presence."
