Punishing the Lady (Part-1)

When Alexander signaled that he might choose to verify the claims with Lapitus, Lady Felicia could only tersely nod.

She had dug herself too deep a hole, and to get out of it she could only keep digging.

As for Lapitus revealing anything, such as the surprise upon learning he ordered his wife to poison Alexander, well she would cross that bridge then she got there.

Perhaps she would be able to kill him before Alexander got to do that.

So now, the lady was starting to go into scheme mode.

While Alexander, feeling he had heard all there was to it, decided to excuse her, bidding her goodbye with this, "Okay, my lady, I will think about what you offered. It's getting late."

And he really did intend to think about it, as the question of who would oversee Thesalie's day to day in his stead was a question that did bother Alexander for a while.

Now, it could not be one of his retainers because they were not his subordinates.
