Lady Inayah's numerous arguments for the trip finally convinced Alexander to take the journey to Adhan.


The potential upsides were too great, and the worst that could happen was him coming back empty-handed.


He also considered this time to be the most optimal for two reasons.


So the sooner he got his minting going the better.


The sooner he could make the other nobles defect to his own side the better.


And the sooner he could get the permission to arm the northern barbarians and have them attack Adhan's territories to distract Amenheraft, the better.


While the second reason was that he felt that his borders were relatively secure right now, while from the next year, Alexander planned to launch yearly campaigns against other power.


As such he replied with a smile, "Okay Lady Inayah, you have convinced me. I will go to you Adhan during this year's Jtaama."


"Excellent!" The answer naturally got a cheer from the lady, who then proposed, "Let's celebrate."
