Chapter 727: Lady Felicia (Part-1)

Alexander and Lapitus finally came to the agreement of extending the surrender deadline by two weeks in exchange for the latter attempting to open the city gates before that.

Furthermore, to make the subsequent takeover of the city easier, as well as to reward Lapitus, Alexander promised to take Lapitus's daughter as one of his mistresses if the operation was successful, thus making the man a distant kin of his.

That was the gist of what happened in the meeting.

But that was not where the conversation ended.

"Esteemed Pasha, in the meantime I organize my forces and carry this out, I wish also for my wife and daughter to stay here in the camp with you. Otherwise, I fear they might be targeted once I begin my….." 

Lapitus suddenly trailed off, still seemingly reluctant to say the word coup or rebellion.
