The room watched with muted intrigue as Remus made himself scarce, disappearing as quickly as he had appeared before them, the clanging of the chains soon disappearing far, far into the distance. And it was only once the young general was out of earshot that Lady Miranda shot back at Alexander in a slightly offended tone, "My lord, all these… barricades you asked for in the streets. How will the people move about then?" She did not openly counter Alexander but tried to poke in a diplomatic…-

Alexander's mouth almost twitched as he heard Remus go off on his own, who finished his speech by posing, "... I ask for your permission to burn the ships at the Great Harbor… to secure our flank!" The young general really did not mince his words. And this sudden request made the room all of a sudden turn abnormally silent for a while. The great relief most had felt upon hearing the crowd had dispersed on their own without spilling any blood was gone, replaced by a sudden curious intrigue as…

While Lord Parker was trying his best to turn the situation back in his favor, his general proved little more than a hindrance. Achillas was still unable to see why his boss cum lover was so angry about such a thing, over the death of some low born peasants. In his mind, these 'wastes of society' should be happy to die for his lord's cause. And the man even frankly said his thoughts out aloud, "Why is my lord getting so angry? It's only a few dead men. The city has a hundred thousand more. Even if…

The Heeat family's army managed to bring order to the rioting city with surprising swiftness and efficiency. Which was really normal given how they had chosen to do it. The people were attacked by armed men in full military attire and formation throwing showers of javelins and arrow fires onto them, and as the Cairans saw these deadly projectiles descend upon them, even the most greed crazed man was kicked out of his stupor because their instinct of preserving one's life took over. Hence, as soon…

Remus breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the crowd disperse on their own, almost ecstatic that the whole incident was resolved without requiring the spillage of blood. If the crowd had really attacked, although he was fully confident in being able to fend them off, Remus could not guarantee all his own men would come unscathed. Not to mention what kind of horrendous casualties that would cause among the civilians and the subsequent political backlash from it all. Remus might not be very well…

Alexander, completely unaware of the malicious happenings of last night, instead woke up with a refreshed mind to a snug, chilly morning. A morning that was filled with spring scenery. In his arms still lay Lady Nanazin, her lips gently snuggling against his neck, while her body was plastered so tightly against him that he could feel her every curve, both those bludged outward like her breasts and thighs and those that sunk inwards like her groin, which the lady seemed very willing to grind against…

Spotting the Adhanian Queen in that state on the bed, Alexander was at first a bit surprised because he had no idea how she had managed to infiltrate his room. He might have not locked his bedroom door, but it was certainly guarded. But whatever tricks she might have used, Alexander decided to let it slide upon seeing her slumbering face. She seemed too tired. Thus suppressing the desire in his loins, he decided to skip the nighttime activities as he gently laid Lady Nanazin on the bed…

Alexander had spent the whole day in the streets with the soldiers, personally overseeing the set up of the various checkpoints as well as noting down the terrain in his head, such as the various connecting streets and where they led to, the notable landmarks in the area as well as the shortcuts if available. This was done both to ensure his legionnaires did not miss any hidden passageways from where the Heaat family might be able to outflank them, as well as a contingency for Alexander, just in…

Alexander was internally very glad to see that when he revealed the potential move the enemy could make, Remus was not only quick on the uptake but also extremely fast in being able to come up with a solution. And even more decisive when trying to carry it out. Since they had pointed the threat as Lord Parker coming to attack them from the sea, then the most logical answer in the boy's mind was to burn the vessels he would use to come here- the ships, thus denying him the opportunity even before he…

The generally temperate Alexander's sudden outburst took the nearby soldiers by surprise and they suddenly snapped their heads to give Alexander a fearful look. And then they ran off to get ready as soon as possible. Thus., before long, the streets around the Margraves family mansion were teeming with men in a vast sea of blue, with rows and rows of shielded men setting up checkpoints at all the leading streets, stopping and questioning anyone wishing to pass. "What do you think our chances are?"…
