Chapitre 920: The Army's Hidden Danger

Regarding these nobles who had decided to abandon Alexander in the middle of the fight and cost him that battle, Alexander naturally wanted to make them grievously pay.

But when his preferred kind of punishment proved too unpopular, Alexander at first decided to make them give up some land and come with him to Zanzan as hostages. 

But after thinking for a bit, thought better of it.

Rather than punishing them with a token gesture, Alexander thought he would get back on them after things had cooled down.

After all, revenge was a dish best served cold.

Towards Alexander's decision to wait for a more opportune moment to strike at the nobles, Gelene and Ophenia made no comment, but only lightly nodded, letting their master do what he thought best, as the trio drifted off to slumber.
