Meeting Lady Felicia (Part-3)

Hearing what Lady Felicia just said, Alexander was shocked to say the least.

His eyes could be seen dilating and almost in a repeat of his reaction to finding out about Fabiyana, he momentarily stopped chewing his food.

"What?" He felt he must have missed something as he muttered.

To him, all this did not make any sense.

Why go through all that trouble?

"Indeed I'm afraid so," But Lady Felicia worked to ensure that he did not hear it wrong as she clearly revealed in a hushed, bitter tone, 

"I was told that if the city gates are not opened within ten days, it will mean the 10,000 men Lord Ponticus requested from the capital has arrived and Lapitus has no intention to surrender."

"He would then start to organize the defenses of the city or escape depending on the circumstances, while I would leave the camp with the excuse of wanting to visit my husband and rejoin him."
