As the string of questions were laid bare right in front of Lady Felicia, she suddenly felt the room around her turn surprisingly cold.
And she could tell that she had not been called here to lay with Alexander.
This meeting was clearly designed as a trap and she had been got!
The queries being so openly targeted showed it.
And then she heard Alexander repeat, "Tell me the truth, Felicia. And nothing will happen. I simply want to hear you say it."
The voice was very impatient and accommodating.
But how could Lady Felicia believe it?
This was a favored technique of those wishing to extract an answer, to show hope, to show that it would only get worse if they hid it, and thus coax the other party into revealing what they knew.
Lady Felicia herself had sometimes used the technique to get something out of her half brothers and sister.
But once she had the information, well then it depended.
