Ophenia's Gift

After ironing things out with Gelene, Alexander moved on to his last interest of the day, Ophenia.

"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" He asked turning to the fair woman.

"That…" Ophenia's eyes darted uncomfortably at the question, and then finally picking up the courage, she said, "Um, master. I want to tell this to you alone."

This predictable raised some eyebrows as people like Cambyses wondered what could be so important that Ophenia couldn't say out aloud in front of them.

Cambyses and Ophenia usually got along very well as the latter didn't have twists in her heart, unlike someone else, a person that recently got a deal that Cambyses found too favorable.

Alexander too was surprised as he couldn't think of anything Ophenia might have to say that would necessitate such secrecy.

But deciding to respect Ophenia's wishes he gestured to the other three, "It's getting a bit stuffy in here. So, why don't you three take a small stroll? I will call you when done."
