Capítulo 724: Lapitus and Alexander (Part-1)

"My lord, there is a man here saying he is a Tibian officer who wants to defects. But before that he seems to want to talk to you." 

It was after dusk, around supper time that a messenger came to Alexander with this report.

"Hmmm?" And this was enough to make Alexander even hum a bit in surprise.

Although not completely unexpected, it was still a nice surprise.

"Who is he? A noble?" Alexander inquired hopefully.

If it was some random deserter, Alexander would not be interested.

"He did not say. But he did inform us that he used to be the city lord's right hand man. And that his name started with La." The messenger had a bit of difficulty hiding the weird look on his face as he said this, for he was unable to understand the reasons behind this usual behavior.

And Alexander too, though was able to hazard a guess, was unable to quite understand what the play was.
