The atmosphere hung heavy and oppressive as Aleyria smoldered to his side and the four Red Robes trembled and awaited the executioner's axe. It seemed like blood was about to be spilt any moment now.
Once again, as had been the case many times in his life, Alexander turned to humor to ease the atmosphere and guide his subordinates to the right, albeit more difficult decision.
"Well, Aleyria, it seems to me that we have found the perfect solution to our predicament." Alexander said brightly.
Aleyria turned to look at Alexander in confusion, a frown wrinkling up her face.
"Weren't you just telling me that we need to send reinforcements to Eastern Phoenix Kingdom as soon as possible to support them in the frontlines?" Alexander blinked at Aleyria.
She narrowed her eyes as she struggled to follow Alexander's train of thought.
"Hmmmm." She responded in a noncommittal way.
