By this point, everyone had finished with their meals long, long ago, and were only waiting for Alexander to finish his chat.


Which Alexander seemed rather unwilling to finish as he raised another topic.


"Your Majesty is it possible to get the nearby nobles to bring him to your side now that you have Adhan?" Alexander asked.


"That …is unlikely. Most will think Amenheraft can retake the city as I have no army and very little time to raise one." Ptolomy exposed his vulnerable position.


'*Sigh*, I wanted to send some of the temple loot to the nobles to convince them to capitulate. But there's probably not enough time to send it far away and the nearby nobles might not care for it as they believe Amenheraft will be the ultimate victor. Looks like this will have to wait after I win,' Alexander reanalyzed and readjusted his plan.
